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.464Please respect copyright.PENANAnDd8TnVKPk
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.464Please respect copyright.PENANAiAtsmLDb1u
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. 464Please respect copyright.PENANAz3dhxoHDpo
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.464Please respect copyright.PENANAOQcdWM0wMO
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.464Please respect copyright.PENANAT9DaEL1Wa3
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.464Please respect copyright.PENANAAtfvBgS7mB
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.464Please respect copyright.PENANAN0AooUStZL
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.464Please respect copyright.PENANAn4LgR2Qtfw
