Segregation Stories

Vincent and Alastor visit an aquarium, but it's the 1950s, an especially precarious era.

In a world where racial tension is at its rising point how will the students and parents at Valko High School (a predominantly white school) react to Tasha and Jace's interracial relationship? "Our town is split. Us black people live on one side and the white people live on the other. No one told us it had to be like this. But it is. Its the privileged which just so happens to be the white half. And the not so privileged which just so happens to be the black half. But sometimes you get a few beans that spill over. Sometimes some of the white people come to the black half. And sometimes the black people come to the white half. I just so happen to be one of those beans."

PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING: THIS STORY IS 100% HISTORICAL FICTION AND CONTAINS RACISM AND CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECTS. THESE WERE ADDED FOR LITERARY REASONS AND I HAVE NO INTENTIONS AS AN AUTHOR TO SPARK CONTROVERSY NOR OFFEND ANYONE. The year is 1964. Ian is a quirky boy who was raised alongside a heavily religious family in the Appalachians. Not quirky in a cute way - this is no love story. Ian will learn as he lives on, as being raised in a racist family does not mean you should be that way. His experiences through life example the 1960s books one reads while growing up, but in a rather... odd way. A visit to the attic can change one's life.

Growing up in the 60s and 70s, is hard enough. But being the only dark skinned family in a town is a different story. One day a girl stood up for us, and stuck by our side. This story is about how kindness overrules violence, and how kindness changes people around you.

Our job was to bring them back for them to receive their punishment. He had punishment enough however, as he was now dead. Behind the straw hut of the outer fishing village Manna, was the newest victim to the spreading disease.I was head of the search group, so walked forward cautiously ahead of the rest us. The body was a burnt black, unrecognizable to whoever the soul was before their violent end. Their lips were blue. Their nails had been bitten off vigorously. That is what we had been seeing in all the newest patients, Dr. Regan had said that it was the victims way of dealing with the undeniable pain. I crouched down next to the body and did a prayer to the gods for his safe journey to the heavens above. As I touched the rough, expired skin, it crumbled into dust. The dust slipped through my fingers onto the ground. ‘It’s definitely the disease’ I said turning back to my team. ‘And we were too late.’ They all bowed their heads in silence as the gravity of the situation we had been thrown into hit us.  The disease was real. Anabeth is 13. With both her parents being part of the Underground Class of her society, on her Determination Day it is unavoidable that she will too be part of the lower class life.
