Dead End Like magic, colors swirled through the air and you could practically feel the static in the air. Three people surrounded an arched-shaped device. They chucked bloody body after bloody body through the back of the device. The device flared wildly before dimming after each body passed through, never to be seen again. On December 1, 2345, Abby Emperado set off to her trip to the Philippines to visit her family. What started off as a light storm to the Grand Teleportation Center turned into a full-out thunderstorm with trash cans flying all over the place. When she reached the Center's bus stop, she left the bus quickly, but to her avail, a few trashcans hit her. Groaning, she angrily stomped into the Center only to …show more content…
"Dulce, I want you to check what organs we can sell from this girl. If she's already this disruptive, we don't need to keep her in the reserves," decided Crystal. The three parted ways, off to fulfill their duty. Dulce looked over Abby's organs, Gavin sterilized the equipment, and Crystal went to grab prisoners that met the requirements of their requests. In about two hours, they were all finished and met up at the basement. In the basement, Kyuss angrily plays Flappy Bird for almost two hours. She brought copies of the files for the requests they were given a while ago and looked to her phone for some amusement as she waited for her colleagues. Gavin arrived second. He brought all the sterilized materials needed for the procedure. Dulce entered after him. She came in dragging a still unconscious Abby. She starts to look at the request files to see if any of her organs matched up those requested. Making an appearance, Crystal arrived last with a line of prisoners, all wearing shackles on their wrists and legs, and a stack of files about these prisoners. "You know the fastest way to a girl's heart? By cutting her open!" exclaimed

    Many people see the words “Civil Rights Movement” and automatically think of the bus boycott, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Ku Klux Klan. However, the movement was much more than that. In the book At the Dark End of the Street: Black Women, Rape, and Resistance- A New History of the Civil Rights Movement from Rosa Parks to the Rise of Black Power by Danielle L. McGuire, the author shows us some of what was happening in the lesser known parts of the movement focusing on how sexual violence against both women and men played a big part in the Civil Rights Movement.

    For this project, I am focusing on Flora from the book, The Game of Love and Death, by Martha Brockenbrough. I chose the song, Dream a Little Dream of Me, sung by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong for Flora because it sounds like a song Flora would sing at the Domino. The jazzy trumpet with the noticeable walking bassline, paired with the chemistry of Fitzgerald’s and Armstrong’s voices produces a song that undeniably represents Henry and Flora. When I heard the version of this song sung by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong I couldn’t help but think of Henry and Flora singing this to each other, specifically when they are on the rooftop dancing together or perhaps as a duet at the Domino or Majestic. Every lyric in the song, starting with “Stars shining bright above you/night breezes seem to whisper I love you,” showcases a song that I can see Flora singing it in the Domino, Flora and Henry singing it to each other, or even the song playing non-diegetically while Flora and Henry are dancing on the rooftop, or when Death finally comes to collect their souls.…
