It's been 10 years since I last journaled -- orders from our friend. We spent the rest of our senior year in High School training to discreetly and efficiently suit up, use stealth techniques, and go out on special operations to remove obstacles for law enforcement. All this while going to school. It became like an … Continue reading “Meeting Boo”

Semper fidelis
We spent the next hour watching and listening to law enforcement briefings from several agencies. They all had different agendas and dealt with different perspectives on criminal behavior and the challenges of their jobs, trying to protect the law-abiding citizens from the criminal element. The things they all had in common? They were under-staffed, under-funded, … Continue reading Semper fidelis
Thorny Roses Forever
"Long time, officer," Rita said as she slid her glasses down to the tip of her nose to get a better look. "Oh, it's gon' be like that, Rita?" Sarah smiled as she settled into the booth with Rita. "I don't know, officer. Is this an official visit or a class reunion?" Rita asked as … Continue reading Thorny Roses Forever
Have a little talk
I couldn't help but wonder what people would think to know the things we know now. If someone had told me these things, I'd think they'd lost their minds and were stuck in some fantasy world. Only it was really happening. The seemingly impossible was not only possible, but undeniably so for me and those … Continue reading Have a little talk
NASK
Although we were wearing them on top of our regular clothes, it was comfortable. The only places where it touched my skin were on my hands and neck. It was very soft but seemed to move when I moved -- like it was alive. "So, how do we take it off?" I asked. "Mask first." … Continue reading NASK

In front of him are several police officers in plain clothes siting in folding chairs.] "According to our inside man, the Bloods are planning something called NDX." "NDX? That … Continue reading Stay sharp, stay safe
In the divot
"In other news: Some are calling a 15-year-old boy a hero after he subdued two attackers in Northern Durham. WRAL's Craig Knighton has the story." "A boy, whose name we cannot release because he is a minor, was walking along this quiet street after school, when two assailants on a motorcycle attacked him. Little did they … Continue reading In the divot
Defend yourself
We’re in high school now – going to Northern High. I haven’t heard from my special friend since that night he told me about the gifts. I kind of expected to hear from him before now, and honestly wondered if the psychologist was right. Maybe I’ve been falling asleep and not realizing I was asleep. That … Continue reading Defend yourself
You can call me ‘friend’
Mom insisted, so Duke ran all the test they had to make sure I didn’t have anything out of the ordinary. They took many vials of blood. I peed in a cup. They did x-rays and put me in an MRI machine. For that one, I had to be really still. It was very cool! … Continue reading You can call me ‘friend’
I’m not Superman
I told mom when I got home. She looked at me, squinted, and asked, “Are you sure you’re not exaggerating, ‘Ziah? You’re just full of surprises these days, aren’t you?” I said, “You’ll see, mom. Wait until you see the stop sign.” Dad came home later than usual that evening. He's a police officer. He had gone straight … Continue reading I’m not Superman
