It was a normal day in Denver for for me until this strange boy with crutches was carrying a BB gun.Everyone was looking at him funny and I just did not want to see him because he might shoot me or my family.So I went up to him to see what he was up to and he looked at me and picked his gun out of his pocket and said “what do you want your little city boy”and then I see a lady run up to him and take the gun out of his hands.And she said “I’m so sorry about my son, he can shoot anything in his sight
breath and closed my eyes for the final time. I attempted to gather my thoughts, but it was no use. There were no thoughts that could justify the action I needed to do. I composed myself and cocked back the lever to load my BB gun. The steel and carbonate composite that made up the gun never felt colder, even on a hot summer’s day like today. The world seemed to stop spinning and there was nothing but silence. It was only myself and the task at hand. I removed my finger from the trigger guard and placed

PRIMANOS As a child, Arthur was born in the early 1930s shortly after the tragic death of his father. At the age of two, his life was also found to be in peril.

A Christmas Story the Musical The movie A Christmas Story has always been a family favorite and tradition, so when the opportunity came up to go and see it as a theater production, my mom and I knew that was exactly what we wanted to see. On December 2nd, my mom and I spent the day together by getting dinner, going shopping, and ending the night with a play. A Christmas Story the Musical was produced by the Morgantown Theatre Company and directed by Hillary Phillips, both whom did an outstanding
