With my backpack repeatedly hitting my side, I rushed through the front door, ran down the hall, bursted into my room and immediately shut my door. I dropped my bag .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/GothikahLIVE/1493516/ I had been breathing enough on the window that I could no longer see clearly through the foggy glass. Dad sat quietly in the front, steering the car down an open road. He hadn't said a word in over an hour and the only thing I heard escape him were soft sighs or grunts. The sky was gr.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/GothikahLIVE/1493514/ The Silent Treatment covers a teen named Jason who begins seeing a therapist about his anxiety, depression and selective mutism in the hopes of bettering his life even if some things stand in his way. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/GothikahLIVE/1493513/ I was sitting in my last class, Mr. Darvin's English III, in the dark, head on my hand as a video explaining Lord of the Flies shot out of a projector.

She .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/GothikahLIVE/1493498/ The halls were painted perfectly with gray and blue, the school colors.
