dear journal,
i think im in trouble now cause i went an stabbed my dad in he leg with a pair of scissors. i dont know why i did it but i was scared becaus he suprised me. the police came. dad is trying to keep me home but they are going to arrest me. the sheriff doesn't want to put me in jail with the black men so he is going to put me in the cellar of the court house. hopefully my dad will forgive me and take me home. i don't want to go there i want to stay home with mah an pah. i wish i didn't stab pah he didn't deserve it. i haven't ate in over a day now because of being in the cellar and its dark, dirty, and scary down here. i want to go home.
