The night everything went down, I was still so naive, and like the rest of this damned world didn't see what was happening into it was too late. The doors that had always been open were closing for the last time.425Please respect copyright.PENANAe3APn9EeFj
Too many people hated us, hated him for supporting us. And that lead to his death, and the closing of the only place we truly felt at home.425Please respect copyright.PENANA2rFbUMnP8y
The Eagle Lounge was more than just a meet and greet, it was an escape from the world we lived in, a world where no one who wasn't like us accepted us. There was one exception: Tyler Brown, the owner of The Eagle Lounge. 425Please respect copyright.PENANAkFqfv9NboM
It was he who taught us to embrace our individuality, to be ourselves with no cares for the judgment cast onto us by members of a society who didn't understand acceptance or tolerance.425Please respect copyright.PENANASkBszkQr99
People always talk about the Eagle closing, and it did. I didn't understand why when I first heard the news, but it made my heart bitter, though I didn't know why. Looking back I wonder how I missed it.425Please respect copyright.PENANAB6uF3GxZeR
Rachelle wasn't like the rest of us, she struggled to understand the terminology we used, couldn't hold a conversation the way that we did. I didn't understand why she seemed like an outcast among us "geeks and nerds" as the world called us. But, now I understand, she was never one of us; she was just another person hellbent on eliminating what they saw as an inferior group. And, she managed to disband us by taking out the one person who had held us together.425Please respect copyright.PENANAn15zKQDiij
The day they found Tyler Brown lying in a pool of his own blood was the day of closing. We closed our emotions, we closed the one place we felt at home, and we closed the door to the only chance of unity we had.425Please respect copyright.PENANAGBoVIRweEf
It was what Rachelle had wanted all alone, and she had suceeded. And now I know why she did it. She wasn't like us, she was just another bigot in this world, and we nothing more than a blemish in what she viewed as a perfect society.425Please respect copyright.PENANAZDrunpqwX8
