Missing
Chapter one
So here I was. Alone in a small Arizona town that up until today had housed a bustling community. I have no idea what happened either. I woke up to find everything the way it usually was. Hyperactive brother, overprotective father, working mother. A normal life for a normal girl. My name is Juliet Grim.
“Jules, wake up! Now!”
Juliet Grim woke up this morning like all the rest. With her father making a big fuss over her waking up and taking care of the animals. They could wait and ora o two, right? But according to him, “They are to be fed at six o’clock sharp every morning without fail!” She chuckled a bit as she imagined him saying that over and over again each giorno she was late. Seemed to me, da the sound of that shout, that he was gonna be saying it again. Juliet quickly dressed herself in her usual baby blue jeans, a t-shirt from her small selection, and the bronze cintura buckle that she won from the fair a few years back. She considered combing her hair, but decided against it. It would be a mess after taking care of the animali anyway, not to mention, she never has been the type to make a fuss over her appearance. The way she figured it, if she had to dress up for a guy to think she was pretty, he was the wrong guy. She finished dressing da slipping on a pair of work boots and exited her room. She was shocked to see that her father wasn’t there leaning against the secondo floor railing, arms crossed, tapping his fingers against his forearm. She walked through the empty house, out into the yard. It was a big property, almost 10 acres. Her family supplied most of the towns produce and dairy. She spotted her mother and 8 anno old brother milking a cow a few feet away and walked towards them. Her mother spotted her coming and waved.
“Hey there, honey! te took such a long time getting up, we had to feed the animali without you.”
“Ya, sorry about that, Mom. Bet dad must have been pissed.”
“Who, dear? Oh well, doesn’t matter. Could te do me a favor, sweetie?”
Juliet frowned. What did she mean ‘who?’, this giorno was beginning to get a little weird. “Sure thing, Mom. What do te need?”
“I need te to head down to Phil’s store and give him some papers for me. They’re over there da the chicken pen.” She said, turning back to taking care of the cow.
“Ok,” Juliet said, while inwardly cringing. Phil’s ‘store’ was a small bar. Normally, she wouldn’t be allowed inside a bar, but this town was a small one and ran on it’s own rules. She really hated having to go there. It always stunk of cigarette smoke, the bartender was always having loud conversations with his unemployed son, Steve, there were always these two big burly men having some contest o other, and the sounds of the daycare across the strada, via always drifted in whenever someone opened the door. Juliet sighed and went to go get the papers.

Don't be careless
About the world
Many people are penniless
They have nowhere to go
Generations through generations
Our numbers subtract
Stand up and fight
We are not powerless
Together we unite
And restore our happiness
Come on let's be earnest
We can improve academically
mostra that we care
Our people need compassion
We live and love
And we think of above
Forever and ever
We will be together
No matter how wicked
o cruel we can be
We all live and die
In this democracy on Earth

Reality hurts, I have experience
It makes te feel free, and then drags te to the ground
It tells te that everything will be ok
Later it crushes all hope and faith
It makes te see what te want to see
Let’s te feel what te want to feel
It puts te in those “oh snap” positions
It laughs at te in the face for your mistakes
It can help te find Amore o heartbreak
In the end reality gives te the same outcome
The very outcome te tried to avoid
Reality doesn’t control me, I refuse to be destroyed
It makes te feel free, and then drags te to the ground
It tells te that everything will be ok
Later it crushes all hope and faith
It makes te see what te want to see
Let’s te feel what te want to feel

It can help te find Amore o heartbreak
