A Student Response From:TiffanyMy realities change every moment. Every new day causes something else to become irrelevant, like it never even existed at all.

The top was off the pepper and making its way through my digestive system; there was no going back. I took the part furthest …
A Student Response From:VictoriaThe entire time I read this prompt I thought about the titles. Thinking about “The Watched” made me think about hoe we are watching everything around us.
