Going into my second year of college at Lindenwood University, I decided to try to join a fraternity. My first year there had been marked mainly by my efforts to get used to living away from home, as well as getting to know an entirely new group of people who had ideas and lifestyles that were MUCH different than I was accustomed to, having grown up in the tiny southern Missouri town of Park Hills.

In other words, I had no friends and couldn't have gotten laid if I had hundred-dollar bills instead of skin.

"Court, Brenda," Hernandez, one of the nicer guards, banged on the door and woke Brenda up again at 7 a.m.

She was a bit groggy, having been awakened at 3 a.m. for "pill call," awakened again at 4 a.m. for "breakfast," milk, cereal, an inedible biscuit, and a hard green pear. To top it off, the jail had sent her mother's mail back the night before because some jail clerk had interpreted the "no sticker" rule to include printed postage stamps.

Looking at your belly after eating too many cheeseburgers is one of those purely reflexive things that you do, as if to confirm that you did eat too much. The sight of your belly hanging over your size too small pants is an instant confirmation of your prosperity and well being, but with his much thinner and in-shape younger brother Jim there, Rick couldn't help feeling envious. He'd start eating right and exercising now and again, but working a desk job and being a fan of baseball and football wasn't especially conducive to a healthy lifestyle. In the end, it always came back to this; come the next holiday gathering, Rick would be the fat and prosperous one, Santa Claus for all seasons. "And so what if I am," Rick muttered to himself.

News

It's early on a Monday morning. You wake up and find you have your dorm room to yourself. The night before, your roommates had been talking about "hooking up" with some girls they met on Facebook while you were busy ignoring them and putting the finishing touches on your three page manifesto explaining why you decided to go on a shooting spree today...

You are senior English major at Virginia Tech College and pretty much hate the world. People have been treating you badly ever since your family immigrated to this country from South Korea. You thought that after you graduated high school, things would get better. At least in high school, despite the racial slurs and insults, you had something to look forward to. You'd go to the university, get recognized for your psychological and disturbing plays and people would shower you with money, fame, and love.

Robert awoke groggily from his cot in the citizen barracks. The daycycle klaxons blared their morning greeting like a small, but very excited bee lodged in the ear canal. He reached for his Wakey-Wakey pills, and forced two of them down.

Zing!

"...you motherfucking WHORE!"

I was really warmed up now, lobbing pitches of pure venom and hatred over the phone with increasing vigor, hitting my target more and more as I ramped up into a truly epic rant. Standing in the bathroom, I could hear people milling around outside as my voice increased in volume, ringing back at me from the ceramic, reflecting the blackness swirling around the depths of my vision...
