The Trigger Essays

I never thought I’d find myself holding a gun let alone shooting it. Daddy had always kept it safely locked away in the cabinet in the shed. He was a good man my daddy, always abiding by the law.

Dogs have been used by humans for police work for a very long time. To some people, it should be normal to use dogs in police work.

Trigger Warnings We Accept Suffering as Normal – But Healing Is Asking for Too Much. I sit in my theater class and the professor says that we will be doing another play.
