Placing a Character in a Situaton

    Sacagawea and five other people share a microwave and a small refrigerator.  Messie cooks her own lunch every day and leaves a mess.  Her idea of cleaning up is to put a half-eaten plate of food in the refrigerator, not wrapped up.  It stays there getting more and more disgusting until someone else throws it out and washes the plate.  Messie never washes a dish or throws out her trash.  When another person once complained to Messie, she became angry.  Sacagawea and the others are getting more and more annoyed.    
    Sacagawea always stays out of it. Instead of confronting Messie she just cleans up the food and the plate when it gets too bad and never thinks about it until then. What Messie does with her food is her own problem, not Sacagawea's. That is the extent of it in her mind. When it gets bad, she'll throw out the food, but otherwise, she would do nothing.

Wrong

the fear inside
that sick feeling you get
when you realize
something is
really
very
extremely
wrong
but you don’t know what
you just have that sense that somewhere
something has
just
been
utterly
destroyed
but you don’t know what
but you do know
that something
will
be
revealed
soon
but you don’t know how soon
all you know is
something is
wrong.

Keep

    Records may fade and so may the journals I keep, but deep in my heart I know that even if this love passes away, it will still be written on my heart for ever and ever. I will keep the memory of you close to me as the years pass by. When I am old and look back on my young and foolish years, you'll be there, same as you ever were, writing our story on my heart forever.
