Something New by Gabriel It’s a regular day, nothing strange. Getting home, you have your regular routine: get your textbook, turn to the next page, crawl in bed. It’s all for the night. You wake up, something’s wrong. Your hand hurts and is bent in the opposite direction. It feels like a cramp, never had one for this long. Waking up with a headache, you go to school. You can’t remember what the teacher is saying. You’ve been called on, just act cool. It happened again, but this time, you’re on the floor. You’re bleeding, checking the mirror. You’re hurt. At school, everyone is concerned. They ask, “did you get jumped and left in the dirt?” Out your right eye you can’t see. It happens again.
