"We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings." -Alan Moore Everything we do has a consequence. And even what seems right, might be the wrong thing.

(Previously called: The Only Light) In the future, all of the world and its people reflect only black, gray, and white, save for a population, the Lights, that decreases by the years. Ellen Dawn is now the last Light to exist. She is feared by everyone around her, referred to as a Color, not a Light, and is forced on the outskirts of town, though she chooses to stay for the sake of the Normals. Lucky for her, one Normal can see past the "danger" she reflects to see who she is on the inside.

A middle school girl who has lost her father to a terrible accident has almost everything in her life except her dad. She suddenly starts to lose all of those amazing things due to bullying and the harsh reality of the world.

Some people simply are not good people. These not good people often engage in behavior that negatively affects others, which is sometimes even the motivation to do such things. But my step-father, a member of the unofficial not good group, didn't do what he did to hurt anyone this time. They say not to speak ill of the dead, but there is not much to say when all they ever did - from waking up in the morning to hanging out with friends - was done to enable a hateful lifestyle. So, tradition and hesitance be gone; this is the brief telling of how the consequences of my step-father's actions haunted me post-mortem.

Is being a good person such a bad thing? Why do the jerks get the girls and the nice guys get left in the dust? Why not? *IN Need Of Cover Photo So If Y'all Have Ideas, Let ME KNOW*

What would you do if you saw someone hurting? Someone who needed help? #Wonderthemovie

As I look at the girl to my left, I watch as tears fill her eyes and she sets down her head on the desk, curling up into a ball, as, I would assume, an act of protection. To block out the world. To protect herself from the relentless cruelty she faces every day. All I want to do is help her, but I don't know how. What could I possibly say to ease this poor girl's conscience? I didn't know what else to do. She was hurting, so I helped.

Written for the WonderTheMovie Contest. Lauren is a high school senior. She has one painful story, but instead of letting it tear her down, she chooses instead to help a young girl, Amber. Lauren notices Amber going down a path all too familiar and makes the decision to extend a hand. What Lauren receives in return shows how even in the darkest of times, kindness can unlock incredible things.

That was until she met Carolyn Coles Bluebell and Henry Bluebell, the only people that took a chance on her. Will her life change for the better or will she always be alone like she always has been?

Kindness is worth more than money. Leah leads this discussion with her class as she discovers that she too, can choose to reach out and be kind.

Schools really tough, especially for Charlotte Summers. It's really hard for her to fit in, when she's different. How? Why don't you read to find out! "Hi! I'm Charlotte!" I said introducing my self. "Umm..okay, whatever." He said it like I was talking about something really boring. I guess I'm boring, "So, what's your name?" I asked. He just walked away, nobody wants to be my friend. Why? It's hard to fit in, when you always stand out (in a bad way) I'm just trying to blend in, somehow I'm different. Everybody has their own personality, somehow my personality is weird? Go on a Journey with Charlotte Summers in high school, see what happens during her adventure! My favorite quote ~> 'Why FIT IN when you were born to STAND OUT!'- Dr. Seuss

To the one who believed in me, he wrote. Sincerely, Mr.Stutterbug

"If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all." He one day made the act of zipping his mouth shut, locking it, and throwing the key out. This time, it would be permanent.
