#actually i am really sick of my family for making me feel like ‘being liberal’ Or Whatever is my only personal trait#because like i used to voice opinions on things until they made me feel bad/crazy for it#but now when they whip out the most batshit insane take on something & i’m just like ‘um i dunno…but to each their own’#& they still act like i’m crazy i’m so 💀#like my only cousin who’s into p/j/o was talking about how the new book (& while he ‘doesn’t care’ that Nico’s gay it—#‘came out of nowhere’ 🙄) the new book is written by two authors—one of them being a gay man because Richard wanted the input—#because he didn’t feel qualified to write it as a straight man or something idk#but my cousin. said. that if a straight man ‘can’t’ write a gay story then a woman can’t write a man’s story & vice versa#which. oh my god no#for one thing i do think anyone can write any story even/especially if it’s out of their depth but they should absolutely reach out—#if they want firsthand accounts of experiences like what it’s like to be gay etc#but also. of course a woman can write a man & vice versa what kind of take even is that? like yeah some people do it really weird—#(‘she boobed breastily down the stairs’)#but that doesn’t mean people shouldn’t be allowed if anything people should learn about the experiences of others#in general his takes of ‘i don’t Care i just wish it wasn’t Every Character that’s not how it Used To Be’#like 1.) if richard wrote lgbtq/poc main characters in 2005 he probably wouldn’t have sold many books#and 2.) it’s Greek mythology. you get what you sign up for#anyways yeah i’m really quiet at family functions but even when i just quietly disagree i’m made to feel really bad about it#& the next function is literally my grad party like next week ://#but after that there shouldn’t be anything for a while#rose.txt#tw vent

i don’t feel like making a joke to break the ice so here’s one of my favorite tiktoks: https://vm.tiktok.com/s1rSS5/ . anyways, hiii, fed admin sabrina here :) time to check off the introductory personality checklist: i’m 20, a leo, a slytherin, a woc, a pre-law major on the east coast, uhhhh harry styles and marvel trash, i play over 10 instruments, i prefer the thigh over the chicken breast, and i’m really happy u all r here and joined my little creation :’) smack that read more to learn abt my children daisy moretti and jude valentine so we can plot !!
DAISY MORETTI. pinterest: https://pin.it/7unKPi8 the basics: full name: daisy mia moretti | hometown: the bronx, new york | zodiac: aries | orientation: bisexual | employment status: intern on the news broadcasts floor | positive traits: social, determined, hardworking, attentive, confident, smart | negative traits: rude, irresponsible, cunning, cutthroat, insensitive, selfish
the backstory:
here’s the best way i can describe daisy: take the love for fashion and luxury of carrie bradshaw and cher horowitz, mix it with the power and intensity of olivia pope, and add in all the meanness of every single rude, b*tchy person you can think of. that’s her.
daisy was born to a huge italian family who all had odd jobs; her dad specialized in fixing the batteries on smoke detectors. her mom ran the laundromat down the street. a lot of her uncles owned car detailing businesses and she had a couple of older cousins who were janitors or low-level staff members at the local middle schools. while her family was fine with this, because hey, it paid the bills, daisy, who had always had expensive tastes from the start, turned her nose at it all.
she, unsurprisingly, became the first in her family to make it past high school. daisy did absolutely every major, resume-boosting thing while she was in school, because she learned very quickly that she liked power and being better than others. there was something she loved about coming home from school and getting to brag about her debate team win while her cousins could only nod.
she was great at school, and she made sure everyone knew. she did mock trial, debate, sga -- she even joined the environmental club just for the clout. and then one of the people in her model un group said she should run for president one day.
it made sense. daisy likes power, she likes bossing people around and always being right, and she doesn’t take shit from anyone. she’d be a fantastic fucking president. so, naturally, after finishing college and pushing through an internship she didn’t really like just so she could have another bullet point on her resume, daisy applied for an internship at masters international. she knew she’d get the gig, obviously.
daisy loves fashion and luxury. she spends majority of her money on vintage chanel tweed matching sets to wear into the office, she has red bottoms that give her four extra inches of height, and her foundation costs over a hundred dollars. you’d think she’d want to be on the floors that deal with vogue and help organize new york fashion week, but that’s not going to get her a presidency, duh. daisy interns on the floors that handle the news broadcasts so she gets firsthand knowledge on all the shit, political or otherwise, that goes down in the country.
i would love to type more but i don’t want to hint at anything that points to her secret, so i’m going to explain a little more about daisy’s personality
she’s so, so controlling and bossy. she wants to be the absolute best at everything, and the shining star of it all. daisy’s definitely an attention hog, and she’ll bust her ass on her work to make sure she’s better than everyone else on the floor with her.
daisy’s very picky about who she hangs out with. as a future presidential candidate, optics are very important, obviously. she only surrounds herself with people she deems to be good for her image, and she’ll gladly let you know that she thinks you’re too shitty to be around. she cares a lot about how she appears to other people, you know.
daisy is selfish and rude, and truly doesn’t care if she hurts someone’s feelings. she speaks her mind and has absolutely no filter -- which gets her into a lot of trouble, i’m sure you can imagine.
wanted connections:
enemies: if you need a bad guy or work rival in your character’s life, i wholly volunteer miss daisy moretti as that bad guy. it’s not hard for her to make enemies when you consider her personality.
ex: please please give me an angsty ex plot filled with depth and all the details. there’s gotta’ be a reason why daisy wants to be not only the first female president, but also the first president without a spouse, after all.
hookups: listen. she has needs.
JUDE VALENTINE. pinterest: https://pin.it/1dfK9dE the basics: full name: jude lee valentine | hometown: tuscaloosa, alabama | zodiac: gemini | orientation: heterosexual | employment status: corporate attorney for masters international | positive traits: friendly, warm, sociable, extroverted, smart, witty, energetic | negative traits: compulsive, secretive, disloyal, impulsive, ignorant, desensitized
the backstory:
picture it with me: a ranch. nice pale green shutters and a huge yard. there’s cows in this picture, too, and horses. there might even be goats. there’s a tractor by the two ford trucks, a dog sleeping on the porch, and not another house for another twenty minute drive. this is what jude valentine is used to. he’s a country boy from alabama, equipped with the southern accent and everything. yes, he has a pair of cowboy boots. yes, he brought them to new york with him. yes, he pronounces creek as ‘crick’.
jude is a very sweet boy. he was quarterback in high school, got good grades, and every sunday he went to church with his family because Bible Belt things. homeboy is named after a book in the Bible. he’s all about southern manners and hospitality, about treating people kindly and always putting others first, and he always keeps his morals in check. or, he used to.
when you’re home it’s hard to stray away from what you’re used to. the same held true for jude in college, because even though he went to u of alabama (can you hear him yelling roll tide), he was still in his home state so he felt those morals still stuck with him. but then he applied for law school and got a full ride to nyu law, and whew, the Temptation
‘cuz you see, jude was always a sweetie pie. he still is! in high school he was super popular because he was tall and cute and athletic but funny and brought extra biscuits from home to hand out in homeroom. i’m not gonna lie, he’s charming af. he’s smooth and he has good jokes. the girls loved him but the little sh*t had a purity ring.
but then he got to nyc for law school and let me tell you. alabama is not close at all to manhattan, now is it. jude was fine the first couple of weeks, just worked on his case briefs in his shoe box of a starter apartment... but the women. homeboy started sleeping around a LOT after a while. y’know wet dreamz by j cole where he’s like haven’t been inside p*ssy since i came out one? yeah, that was jude until ny, and he’s very much still like that
is jude still the sweetest, nicest guy ever? yes. is jude still the type of guy to knock on your office door and ask if you want to walk to get coffee with him even though you guys have probably never met? yes. is jude the first guy on the dance floor when there’s a midnight party on the rooftop? yes. is jude the type of guy who’ll fuck with you and say no, he only listens to music made by a spoon and a blade of grass if you think he only listens to country music? yes. but he also has slept with at least twenty different interns and employees at the office, so.
he also dabbles in the occasional little pill when he’s got eight depositions to write up before tomorrow but he was too busy screwing some chick the night before. he first did this in law school. but we don’t worry about that.
stop it, i know what you’re thinking: sabrina, come on. so he sleeps around, okay. what’s the big deal about that?
here’s the big deal: he’s engaged.
lil (i say lil but he’s 6’3” while i’m only 5’0”, so lemme stfu) cupcake jude is a cheater. he’s got a whole fiancée and yet he still sleeps with other women, and each time he’s like no, okay, that was the last time for real, but then there’s a new intern at the office and the higher ups always throw the new people at him because he knows how to make people feel comfortable, and his country accent is cute and refreshing among all the new york bs, and the whole attorney thing certainly isn’t a negative, and, well. he gets tempted. and afterwards he always tells the girl okay, please, can this stay between us.
u wouldn’t know he’s engaged either bc it’s not like he’s wearing the engagement ring, now is he
i’m staying hush on daisy’s secret but jude’s is that he’s cheating on his significant other with people in the office. is he still a nice guy? heck yeah, but also, you have to be a certain kind of messed up to keep cheating on your s/o and just not tell them. that’s a lotttt of lying you’re just comfortable with. oh, what’s that? you’re threatening to tell his fiancée that you two slept together because you think she deserves to know? well. he’d hate having to do it, but... jude’s not above knocking someone down if it means his secret stays hidden.
wanted connections:
hookups: literally i will take as many hookup plots i can get. doesn’t matter if they’re an intern or an employee; jude will sleep w them and then make them promise not to tell anyone in the office afterwards because “wE’rE nOt sUpPoSeD tO sLeEp wItH cOwOrKeRs” but we all know why he wants to keep it under wraps. this also doesn’t have to be an only connection; he can be friends w someone but also hook up w them on the low too
fiancée: this one is huge for me so pls pls message me if ur seriously interested in this plot and we’ll talk !!
friends: this one is so easy bc jude will literally make conversation with a chair. he’s super sociable and fun and approachable and he loves making friends !! give me some ppl he can pester during lunch break and throw balled up pieces of paper at
best friend: he’s gotta have that one person that he just clicks really, really well with. jude talks to everyone and he’s super friendly but this person is his confidant. he goes to them w almost all of his problems and rants to them and asks for advice and likes to just be around this person. trusts them w his entire life. hmuuuuu :)
ex: listen. we all need a good ex plot and this person is probably the only one in the office jude isn’t bringing a complimentary donut to
sister: jude has a younger sister and honestly she was gonna be a npc but the idea of him looking out for her at the office and getting all (ง•̀_•́)ง when ppl r mean to her is smth i reeeeally like. or maybe they actually don’t get along that well and bicker a lot but there’s still that underlying hey i’ve got your back. you piece of shit. type feel going on !!

~A~ Is your birthday before August? Yep, and the month starts with A, too – my birthday’s in April. Are you an Aries? Close enough. I’m a Taurus. Would you consider yourself Artistic? Hell nah.

~C~ What is your favorite Channel on TV? Mmm I don’t watch TV anymore but I think my favorite would be either TLC or E!, because I’m a sucker for dumb reality shows, lmao. Back when I still used cable religiously I’d normally tune in to Fox. Have you ever been to Chicago, IL? Nope but it’s one of my dream destinations for sure. Do you have a Crush on anyone? Yep. It’d be weird to be in a long-term relationship with someone I didn’t have a crush on haha.
~D~ Where is your Dad right now? As far as I know he’s stationed in Australia and is staying there until the end of his term. His ship normally has cruises around Japan, China, and South Korea but because of the coronavirus going around exactly in that region, his company has made everyone stay in Australia for the meantime. Are your parents Divorced? No. Even if they wanted to they couldn’t, because divorce is illegal here. Do you have your Driver's license? Yeah, I’ve had it for four years.
~E~ What did you last Eat? I’m eating chocnut at the moment :) I haven’t had it in a while but I had a sudden craving for it last weekend, so my mom bought a pack just for me.
How many piercings do you have in your Ears? Two, one in each earlobe.
Is it past Eleven o'clock am? Way past, it’s 7:17 PM.

Who was your First Boyfriend/Girlfriend? Gabie.
Where was your last airplane Flight to? Flying back to Manila from Batanes.
~G~ Are you a Gemini? Nope, but you’ve mentioned the star signs before and after my real one, Taurus.
Have you ever been to Germany? I have not. But Germany is kinda close to my heart because Nacho was always studying to be fluent in German. When he passed we came up with an inside joke that he actually just moved to Germany to finally fulfill his dreams, and that joke became a source of comfort for us.
How many of your Grandparents are still living? Three out of four.
~H~ Are you in High School? Nope. It’s been nearly four years since I graduated. :)

Have you ever been Ice skating? Yesssss it was one of my favorite pastimes as a kid. I never took lessons, I never learned a single trick, but I could glide for hours, and that was enjoyable enough for me. My parents used to drop me off at ice skating rinks while they did the groceries and went window shopping, because they knew I’d find those boring.
Can you play any Instruments? No. I can play simple tunes on the recorder but like almost everybody can use the recorder, so I don’t even count it anymore hah.
~J~ Does your name begin with J? It doesn’t...and my name is still pretty far down the alphabet.
Does your birthday fall in the months of January, June, or July? None of those months.

~K~ Do you regret your last Kiss? Not at all.
Do you have any Kids? I don’t.
Have you ever taken a Karate class? No but I used to be jealous of my kuya because he regularly took taekwondo as a kid. I thought it was super cool seeing his uniform and the color of his belt gradually changing.
~L~ Who was the last person to tell you 'I Love you'? My girlfriend.
Have you ever been to the Statue of Liberty? No.
When was the last time you went to a Library? Uhhhhh last week. For one of my classes, we had to go to the main library’s AVR to watch a documentary on Jose Rizal.
~M~ What is your Middle name? Meh, I’m not saying that on her.
How old is your Mother? She’s 48, but is turning 49 later this year.

What are the last 4 digits of your phone Number? Nope.
What does your Name mean? Last time I checked it means something like fame or bright or star.
Do you have any Nieces or Nephews? No, but I was already assigned to be a godson to my cousin when I was 15 which is close enough. About nieces or nephews though, I’m one of the oldest kids from our generation so if anything, my relatives are waiting on me and my other similarly-aged cousins to be the first ones to have kids haha.
~O~ Do you live on your Own? I don’t. I still live with my parents as do most Filipino kids/young adults do. I’m planning to move to my own place within a couple of years, though.
Are you the Oldest child? Yes I am.
Do you know anyone who lives in Oregon? I don’t think so.
~P~ What are your Parent's names? Edgardo and Abby. My dad goes by a certain nickname also but he hates it, so only family and close friends call him that.

Do you have any Polish ancestry? I’m like 300% sure that I do not lmao.
~Q~ Have you ever been to Quebec? Nope.
A Quote you like: Just because I recently rewatched Titanic: “A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets,” said by Rose by the end of the film, when she talks about how she has never talked about Jack until that moment, not even to her granddaughter’s grandfather.
Do you ever eat at Quizno's? I have never eaten there and have only ever seen one branch here in Metro Manila, which has since been replaced with a Krispy Kreme as far as I know.

What was the last book you Read? It was a book on communication theory that I needed to read for my community press elective.
~S~ When was the last time you Slept in someone else's bed? A month ago, I think? I have bad short-term memory lmao, but that’s my best guess.

A/N: I got this template from tenseoyong and I could not find the original creator to give proper credit to. I was waiting for someone to FINALLY request this for V. Like he's the most fatherly (?) of them all in my opinion!!! And he's all in for having 3-5 kids so don't even fight me there.
A = Announcement.- How do you tell him and the world that you’re expecting?
You didn't know you were pregnant until you were about four months in. It was rare but it happened for you two and you had felt no symptoms the entire time. He'd be so pumped for the arrival of twins but he's lowkey stressing because he feels like he has less time to prepare and that he "lost four months."
B = Books.- Did he read the books?
He doesn't read the books and he never will. He's more like a 'wing it' person so he'll go with the flow of things. Somehow he knows everything about the process of birth??? Did he study this before or something bc he really knows his stuff?!?!
C = Cuddles.- Who cuddles the baby more?
He definitely would. He's just so happy to finally have a little version of him and you running around. Whenever he holds the baby he daydreams about things they'll do together. Until he gets soft when it's time for them to go to school for the first time, leave for college, get married and oml take the baby away from him he's crying and smiling at the same time.
D = Daddy.- His reaction to being called Daddy and it setting in.)
You know that gummy smile? Exactly his face when he's called 'daddy' for the first time and it's not in bed ;)))
E = Empty.- Who goes to the store when you guys run out of supplies?
He would volunteer to babysit while you go out but when you come home with your arms full of bags he'd scold you for not letting him help. He didn't know you all needed that much and if he had known he would've went along to make it easier for you.
F = Feeding time- Who does feeding time?
He's all for it. Pretending the food is an airplane and the baby's mouth is the airport. Little plane noises and loud cheers when the baby eats well. All him.
G = Grumpy baby. - Who is better at dealing with a grumpy baby?
There are just some times a grumpy baby can't be calmed so you two go back and fourth to try and but your baby back to sleep while the other is doing something productive like cleaning, laundry, sleepinggggg.
H = How?- how many kids does he want?
"3 if we don't have time but 5 if we do have time" my ass. V wants at least five but that's probably not going to stop him from having more.
J = Jokes.- best dad joke?
Probably stole it from Jin but its, "What do you call a fish with two knees? A two-knee fish!!!"
K = Kisses.- His favorite place to kiss the baby.
He kisses their hands while they are laying on their back and he's just tickling their stomach and they giggle so loud; it's just really cute how v and his children are so close.
L = Little.- How he feels when he holds the baby for the first time.
Literally his world freezes and all he can focus on is his first born in his arms; how they instantly stopped crying when the doctor put them in his arms, how tiny they really are, their hair, eyes, nose, mouth, their teeny tiny fingers and toes. He soaks it all in and he'll never forget how the baby looked. Not even when he is old and frail.
M = Mommy.- what does he call you?
V would definitely call you "momma" along with the baby but he'll bump up the couple pet name game a lot bc he falls in love with you more nd more everyday and the kids are absolutely disgusted by how much skinship you two do. Like V is always hugging you from behind and kissing your cheek and he'll kiss your lips when the kids groan how gross it is when he kisses your forehead. A smirk on his face.
N = Nappies.- who deals with the really bad diapers?
It's all a team effort. He'd act like a doctor in surgery, even pulling out a face mask if it was that bad. You'd hand him the diaper, wipes, etc. when he asked for one; like an assistant would. Lowkey it's just really funny watching you two do childcare because it's always fun for you guys and you make a game out of it.
O = Onesies- Who likes to dress the baby in ridiculous outfits?
He will make sure his kid is fly as hell, but you draw the line at a gucci belt. Why would a baby need a belt???
P = Pet names- names he calls the baby.
"Chubs" bc of their chubby baby cheeks that grandma's love to pinch. Each kid gets a new nickname, one that relates to their personality, traits, etc.
Q = Questions.- How many questions does he ask the nurse?
He wouldn't ask the nurse anything, the only questions he have he'll ask his own mom. She did such a good job raising him and his siblings why would it be different for his own child?
R = Rely- what is the biggest thing you rely on each other for?
(This one is always so hard for me to write for idk why but it is) Ok so I guess you both would want the other to side with you on how to raise your child? Let me explain a bit. Let's say you tell the kid 'no' about something but then the kid goes to v and he says 'yes' to whatever it is. You two want to be on the same page as the other and want proper communication through out the entire family.
S = Sleep duty. - who gets up when it’s really late at night?
Teamwork makes the dream work. You both would take turns but if for some reason one of you is sleeping through the baby's cry the one that is awake will so it. Let's be real one of you will wake the other up and plea that they do it.
T = Trepidation.- fears as a new parent.
He'd be really nervous about saying the wrong thing here and there and scaring the child in some way. He'd be looking at the big picture about everything, how his actions now could affect his child's future. He really just worries his child will be unhappy because of him.
U = Ultra sounds.- His reactions to the ultrasounds.
He points out the baby before the nurse does and she's just like "Okay no one ever sees the baby first bc it's difficult to see but I guess this dad has some super powers or smth" and he marvels at the photos for weeks, printing extra out just to give them to his managers, the other members, his family. And if it's around the holidays, the baby's first picture is being printed on to Christmas cards.
V = Values.- what is the most important value he wants to teach your child.
One of the many things he hopes his children take from him is that he doesn't want them to have to depend on anyone for anything when they grow up. He wants them to have their own backs and to be able to take proper care for themselves for when he is gone and can't do it for them.
W = Water.- Who gives the babe the baths?
Man V is in the bath with the babe in a pair of swimming shorts and washing his and the baby's hair simultaneously. He has no other time to shower since he's busy being a dad and a celebrity at the same time.
X = X-mas- what do you guys plan for the holidays?
It would really depend on how old your baby is or if you were still pregnant. If you were still preggers he'd prefer to stay at home, just in case the baby wants out. But if the baby was a newborn he'd also prefer staying at home, his first Christmas with his new family would be special to him. but if the baby was more like a toddler he'd go and visit your and his parents, letting his son or daughter run around with their cousins whom they only met for the first time that same day. Either way he wants to get professional pictures done and they are hella cheesy at that.
Y = Yelling.- How many fights do the two of you get in?
It's not like loud arguing fights but when you guys are mad at each other you guys only talk when you have to. It sucks for V bc he values communication but when the baby is there he doesn't want to argue in front of them. If the fight started in the beginning of the day most likely it'll end at night when the baby is asleep and you guys are talking quietly in bed, trying to figure out the source of the problem. He hates going to bed angry so it will get resolved or else he is not sleeping a wink that night.
Z = Zoo- How crazy is the house after the birth?
It's just a mess. Somehow there is baby food on the ceiling. Dried wipes are everywhere. Toys all on the floor. It gets even worse when the baby learns how to walk.

Charity or Ransom? “Just $5.00 a day can save a hungry child in need.” by xSammy13x
“Just $5.00 a day can save a hungry child in need.”
The commercial informed those in the sub shop. No one paid it any attention, continuing with their meals. Malnourished children flashed across the screen, looking sad and desperate.
“P-Please…donate today.” One of the children said staring with dead eyes into the camera; voice cracked, and weak.
It’s the ice cream truck music playing from a hidden source that signals them. It was the secret warning of the day. Get inside. Now. Don’t stop for anything. Don’t stop for anyone. Run. Hide. Wait for the next signal.
I snatch my brother by the arm, just as he is reaching out for me. He’s three years my junior. Three long years he would have to deal with this fear without me; though, if I had my say, I would share it with him and my parents always.
We rush full speed back to the house. We don’t stop for those who were not in on the hidden message. The poor sods who continued to swing on their swings, or playing in the sprinklers on their lawns. It was sad at first, and there was still a twinge of guilt there as they went about their day, but as long as it wasn’t them, then I could be okay…
The black truck first went down Winslow Drive. It stopped, to shrills and pleas of no, as they snatched up young Selena Miller, and her cousin April.
My brother and I stumbled into the old, repurposed bomb shelter in our backyard. It was built close to our oak tree, and was often covered as innocently as possible in leaves, toys, and other rubbish. The top of the shelter looked like a sprinkler head in the ground. If you pulled that up, it lifted a piece of grass, where the trap door was that lead inside.
It had been built by my grandfather. He wasn’t exactly a prepper, per se, but he was certainly always prepared for the worst whether it be a storm, or…
The other vans and trucks started coming then. Twenty in total. They were flying down streets, causing people to grab their children and make a run for it. Those without kids, or just old enough themselves to no longer be victims could only watch. Those just old enough not to worry, still violently flinched as the men and women jumping out of the vans in their grey jumpsuits passed them, or found themselves instinctively running away.
Others, they just stood there with a numbness to it all. Why fear something you have no reason to fear? They never had a reason to be scared of these people, and if they never had children, they never would. And then, was the last group. The sickening grins plastered to their faces as they watched the events unfold. Their numbers were the smallest, but they were growing every day. To them, this was a sport. Sometimes, you could see them making bets on who would be taken today.
“J-Just read a book or something. Play one of your games. Should hear something soon.” I tell my brother, as make it down into the shelter.
God bless my grandfather. It wasn’t what you pictured when you first heard the words: bomb shelter. It was more of a proper underground one story house. If my father had anything to say about it, in the next few years, it would be two. He just had to be slow and subtle about it. Couldn’t draw any attention to what he was doing until we were old enough.
“I think I know the routine by now.” My brother sasses me, and I don’t mind. It feels normal, you know? No fear.
“Three more years of this shit.” I tell him, shaking my head, and throwing myself on to couch as he sets himself up in the chair, and turns on his spare Xbox 360. His newer Xbox One safely setup in his bedroom.
“Six months, for you.”
“No.” I shake my head, and turn to look him in the eyes. “Three more years.”
“No! No! Please! Not my only son! Please!” Mrs. Spencer was screaming, reaching out frantically for her son, arms wailing helplessly in the air. Her husband was holding her back, as a woman in a jumpsuit carried off her two-month-old she had just taken from the woman’s stroller. “I’ll pay! I’ll pay up! Please! Please!”
“Now, now, Mrs. Spencer. You know we can’t trust you not to default on your liens again.” The woman holding her infant informed her.
“Not my boy! Please! You already got my three girls, plea-”
“Mother.” Another woman appeared then, stepping down out of the back of the van, causing her to gasp, and for Mr. Spencer’s grasp on her to tighten in surprise. “Be. Quiet.”
“Katlynn!” Relief washed over her as she said this. She had only seen her in commercials, briefly, in the background, for the passed seven years. She barely recognized her. So much taller. Leaner. Blonde hair cropped short from the long, flowing curls she once kept it in.
“He is coming with us, mother.”
“Wha- no! Katie, no!” She pleaded, breaking free from her husband, and running to her eighteen-year-old daughter. “You c-can’t! You know how they-”
“Please. If you cared so much about any of us, you would’ve paid.”
“There were three of you taken! We couldn’t afford to get you all o-”
There was a loud crack in the air as Mrs. Spencer was smacked so hard by her daughter, she fell back to the ground at her husband’s feet clutching her bright red, and bleeding cheek.
Katlynn surveyed the front lawn. It had been so long since she had seen it. She almost expected it to be exactly the same. Almost. What she didn’t expect was the brand new car in the drive way, or the above ground pool she could make out sticking up slightly above the back fence.
“Do you remember when I was first taken, mother?”
“W-What?” Mrs. Spencer was holding her bleeding cheek. “Of course I do!”
“When I was first taken, it was only $3 a day. Remember? I do. I had been saving my allowance in secret for years before Amanda and Emma were taken. I had almost $60 dollars saved. I wanted to buy myself that ridiculous Barbie playset at first, and then it was some horse stable thing…it doesn’t matter, really…the point was, after they were taken, I knew I had at least a month’s worth of money saved to keep me safe, and do you remember what you said?”
Mrs. Spencer remained silent, and Mr. Spencer took a small step backwards away from her, causing her to look back at him with wide, terrified eyes over her shoulder.
“When they came for me, just like this…I stood up on those very front steps right there, and pulled the money out of my pocket- I never went anywhere without it, you see. Scared shitless. I’d seen the commercials. I knew if I had some money, they’d leave me alone…and you said- oh, I’ll never forget it, you said- ‘thank you, dear. I’ll put this away with the money we’re saving up for your sisters.’ I couldn’t believe it. I had twenty days worth of money saved up, and you just…you pushed me towards them. ‘Go on now, honey. Tell your sisters we said, hello. Tell them to be good. Tell them, we’ll be seeing you all soon. For Christmas.’ Tell me, mother…which Christmas was that, exactly.”
She walked briskly up to her, placing her dark black work boot on her chest, forcing her into the ground. If anyone put up a fight, they were allowed to use lethal force, if necessary. As far as she was concerned, she was being far nicer to her pathetic excuse for a mother than she ever deserved.
“I remember it was only a dollar a day, when Amanda and Emma were taken…I really believed you were bringing us home. I was shocked you were sending me away, but I mean…a dollar a day, mother! A measly $365 a year, mother! Do you know what that means, mother? Less than ten grand…you could’ve had your twins back, for less than ten grand.” She stomped her steel toed boot down in her ribs, and the woman below her let out a scream of pain as something audibly cracked.
“Now, I knew that the price had changed, and to get me back in your life, would be the same price for what it would’ve cost to get them back…and you know what? If you had gotten them out, or even one of us…I could have forgiven you. I could have said to myself that you were trying. You were trying to find the money, and pay for us to come back…but you never did…and I had to watch…” Katlynn took a deep breath threw her nose, closed her eyes, and tried to collect herself. She failed. Her left cheek was twitching with a pent up rage she had known for years, but in only the last two months had been allowed to explore. “I had to watch them die, when you stopped paying even daily fees. Not you!” She brought her foot down on her mother’s chest again, but switched to her face when her sharp cries got to be too grating. “Just…just so you could have another kid?” She was laughing harshly, manically. A loud thud and sickening squishing sound were accenting every other word. Blood was spraying every which way now. “You…you fucking bitch! WHY COULDN’T YOU LEARN? WHY DIDN’T YOU SAVE US?!” She kicked her in the face now, over, and over, and over, while her father and the others watched on…
“You don’t have to keep hiding with me once you’re too old to be hunted.”
I was almost nodding off as my brother spoke. I lifted my forearm up off my face, and cracked an eye open. “The fuck are you talking about? Of course I do.”
“Why?” He hadn’t even paused his game to look back at me. His eyes were fixed on the TV screen in front of him. “Once you hit eighteen, you’re too old. They don’t care anymore.”
“So?”
“So…what’s the point? Seems kinda stupid to spend a few hours a day hiding down here in a box.”
“Not a bad looking box, though. Like a first apartment. Even got fake windows, for Christ’s sake.”
It was true. Grandpa first had window panes with pictures of bright sunny skies in them, green grass, the whole nine yards…dad on the other hand took it a step further and replaced them with digital frames, and a new weather played out over the course of the day and tried to match up as best as it could with what was actually happening outside.
“I guess so…”
“You could take your first girlfriend down here. Maybe get laid.” I pause. “I should take a girl down here and get laid…or a guy. Honestly, just getting laid seems fun, at this point.” I laugh, and sit up on the couch, staring at the back of my brother’s head.
“You think I’ll ever get a girlfriend?” The question was genuine, which was upsetting to me. I had thought he may crack a joke about me being a lesbian, or just surprised I had admitted to him that I was a bit bi curious, but no. He was more interested in whether he would have the normalcy of something as a girlfriend.
“Of course. I’m sure there are plenty of girls, in plenty of bomb shelters for you to fool around with.”
He silently shook his head, but I could see the corners of his mouth pull into a small smile.
“Thanks.”
“Any time, nerd.”
“No, seriously…thank you…for…for saying you’ll keep coming down here with me.”
“…any time, Jay, any time…” I reach out and gently ruffle my brother’s ginger hair.
“Just $5.00 a day can save a hungry child in need…”
The commercial always played more when they were out getting kids. It was a reminder. Pay up, or this could be your child. It was someone’s child.
“P-Please…donate today.”
“THEY’RE IN THE PARKING LOT!” A man’s voice broke through the air, interrupting Mr. William’s 6th grade math class, causing a lot of screaming. It was summer, sure, but these kids were there practicing. Studying. If they got caught, they would need it. Some of them were going to need it now.
Several black vans opened up, and began making their way into the school, to the panic of the students inside. They were coming earlier and earlier every day, Mr. William’s sighed to himself, set down his dry erase marker, and sat dejectedly in his seat.
“J-Just…just remember your times tables. You’ll be alright. Ask…ask the older kids for help, if you need it. Some of you have siblings- cousins there…they can help.”
He had been taken himself as a child. He was only twenty three. He could have become a Snatcher. He couldn’t become a Snatcher. He decided to teach. To help.
“Please, I’m so hungry…” The child in the commercial informed the camera. “Mommy…Daddy…please…send money. Send help. Help me. Help me. I don’t want to be here anymore.”
“Mommy, please. Just two thousand more, and I can come home. Sell the house. Mommy.” Another child took over.
“Daddy, please. I know I’m okay, but the other kids…they need help. You gotta donate for them too, daddy.” A cleaner boy came onto the camera.
If he had been there long, it was hard to tell from just looking at him. Any signs he had been would have to be from the length of time he started showing up in commercials. The sickest and frailest were always the first to be shown, they were the reminders. The ones like him, they were there to show if you obeyed the rules, your child would be fine. He was fine…in terms of health, at least. Mentally, he wouldn’t be sure if anyone at the facility was fine.
It was dinner time. The children at the, Darwin’s School for a Better Tomorrow, were separating into their normal lines. They had their vouchers in hand, to trade for food. If their parents paid the full $5.00 a day fee, they had blue tickets. If their parents paid over, they got gold, and a number printed on it to show what they could spend. If they had red, their parents paid something, but not quiet the full amount. Children whose parents had paid nothing, or had no extra money remaining, got nothing. They were forced to sit and watch the others eat.
If someone wanted to share, it was a risk, but not absolutely forbidden. It was, however, questioned and scrutinized. Why feed the weak? What does sympathy get you? Your parents aren’t paying for them, they barely paid for you! Sometimes, it wasn’t worth listening to the berating. It could go on for hours. And so, children starved…
The only saving grace to those whose parents were too poor to pay for them daily, were those who accomplished high grades. If you were in the top ten in your classes, and needed to, you could trade grades for food. Classes were a harsh competition. So many little geniuses cramped into one place, all in the name of a better tomorrow…
“…can I get some of your chips? If…if you give me just one or two, and Billy gives me one or two grapes…”
“No.” The ten-year-old girl replied confidently. There was no way she was sharing. She had earned these chips. She had no family on the outside to sponsor her.
“Please.”
“No.”
“Give me some of your fucking chips.” The thirteen year old boy demanded, standing up in his seat now, to stare threatening down at his classmate. This was forbidden. Asking for food and sharing it was one thing, but violence and threats were another, and treated harshly.
“Mason! What have we told you about this?” The voice called through the room, causing the entire lunchroom to stop talking instantly. Everyone tensed up, and froze, only their eyes moving to see what was happening, if they dared watch at all.
“But- no! Please! I-I’m just so damn hungry! Please!”
Mason had been a portly boy when he was taken. He was slower than all his friends had been. He was now skin and bones, and was almost always a figure seen on the commercials begging for aid.
“We’ve warned you twice! Twice! You know the rules. No food. One week. Listen up!” Whether they were watching the scene unfold before, everyone in the room swiftly turned their heads in the direction of the Director. He was a hulking, burly balding man with glasses. “No one is to share food with Mason. If you do, you will share in his punishment, and be graded on a curve for the rest of the semester! Twenty points off! Understand me?”
Two points could cost you a meal. Hell, one could. Once, a girl missed dinner by half a point, for not properly showing her work in math. She died that week…
“No! No! This is bullshit! Bullshit!” Mason reached out, grabbing as much food as he could from the other plates, and throwing them into his mouth.
“Mason! Mason! You stop it this instant!” The Director shouted at him, and he signaled for some of the guards to go and get him. “Mason!”
“Fuck you, you balding fuck!” Mason replied, mouth full of anything he could get his hands on. “You can’t do this! You can’t do this! My family will hear about this!”
“If your family cared about you at all, they’d have paid for you. They want you to die in here, you disgusting, ignorant slob.” The Director hissed coldly as the guards dragged Mason out of the room. He was headed to detention. You didn’t want to head to detention. It was solitary confinement. A dark cell. No lights. No bed. There wasn’t even a toilet. You had to be taken there…if you were lucky. It was secretly called, damnation, amongst the students. “They wanted you to learn something in here! Become a useful member of society! What are you all staring at? EAT! Or no one eats!”
“You think…you think if we ever get taken, dad will have enough to get us out?”
“…yeah. Yeah, I would think so.” He spent enough on the shelter, which made me think he must have extra money squirrelled away. He always had told us he wouldn’t make us stay there.
“You think it’s as bad as the commercials make it look?”
“No…no, I mean…that’s…those kids gotta be dumb as shit. Or like…their parents gotta be super poor. You gotta figure, right now…a year is only $1825, right? You can bang that out easy, if you need to…take out a loan, or…or sell yourself. Something. Do that a few times, and the whole thing gets paid up. Hell, Mr. Hallworthy? He doesn’t even have kids, and he pays, too. So…so that money has to go somewhere. Has to help some of them in there.”
“I guess so…that makes sense.” My brother nods. “I think I’ll help them, too…when I’m old enough.”
“Me too, man…me, too.”
A dog barking through the intercom caught our attention. Our parents were home. That was the signal we could come out. Never anything that could be intercepted, telling us we could come out. They didn’t even want to draw attention to our hiding spot by having them come out to the yard and get us. We didn’t want to be caught.
“Finally. Save up. Let’s get the fuck out of here,” I tell my brother, standing up off the couch and stretching in place.
There was another exit that lead into the basement of the house, but it was under the washer. It could only remain hidden if someone closed it over us. And it only opened from this side if we approved it.
It was a hell of a system. Exhausting. But it worked. And sure, sometimes the Snatchers only took one or two kids at a time. Not like today. No, the rules were simple:
1. You were always better in groups, and with someone you could outrun.
2. Know your surroundings. You were better off near a hiding spot.
3. You were better off if your parents saved money to pay the upfront fees to keep you from being taken.
4. Don’t. Get. Caught.
The Snatchers sometimes wouldn’t come for a week or more, but they always came, and we always hid…we were never caught.

Anyone else following me, feel free to answer as well, I would love to hear about you!!
(also if ur uncomfy answering any of these questions, or all of them, feel free to not answer :D)
a - age: 21
b - birthplace: oklahoma city, oklahoma. But I promise I don’t have the accent xD I actually grew up mostly in maryland and northern virginia :)
c - current time: 9:49PM

e - easiest person to talk to: Haha, it’s hard to answer this one, my close friends and my girlfriend are all very easy to talk to (I love you guysss)
f - favorite song: Ummm it changes a lot? Recently I’ve really been into Guillotine by Jon Bellion, and some AnimeVibe stuff (yes I am a huge silly nerd)
g - grossest memory: So like I used to live in the country and we had like 4-5 rabbits and I thought they were the most adorable cutest pets ever. I cleaned their cages and fed them and everything. One day we have stew with ~mysterious~ meat in it. I ate my poor bunnies D: they weren’t pets my aunt had been raising them as food! I still feel horrible ;w;
h - horror yes or no: YES, yes. I love horror movies/games/books/stories everything. Funnily enough I am TERRIFIED of the dark and I scare easily lol (probably because I watch too much horror stuff oops)

I believe that you have to be friends with someone for a while and have a lot in common and get to know each other and understand what you’re getting into BEFORE you fall in love. Even if you feel REALLY in love you should think about it first, a lot of people can get hurt from misunderstandings and there’s nothing worse than dating a cute someone that you can never talk to about anything.
