When Leonard answered the phone, his heart raced because he assumed it was simply another standard check-in from the school. However, the severe tone of the principal's voice on the other end chilled him to the bone. "Leonard , you must come to the school right now. Gigi , your son, carried a gun to school."

I didn't think I'd get lost in the streets of Los Angeles. I looked everywhere for a way to get to this place. I was distracted by the man's words and neglected to take a photo of the building. I walked back a little and heard a faint scream coming from the tunnel. I thought about going ahead for a moment, but then the male voice that followed told me something was wrong. I ran towards the tunnel and found a group of boys assaulting an innocent young woman. She was intimidated by their presence, and their fear fuelled her. “Get your hands off her!” Everyone stopped and looked in my direction. “So who are you to tell us what to do?” asked one of the gang members. I assumed the man was the leader. The tattoo on the right side of his hand confirmed what I already knew: they were a gang. “Listen, I don’t want to smoke with any of y

The gentle materials hugged my body's natural contours, as intricate elements shimmered in the light, producing a stunning exhibition.
