"Treason" is now part of the site. I wrote it in 2002 (fall semester, junior year of high school) as an assignment for English class. The idea was to imitate the Southern Gothic style we had recently reviewed. I put a ton of description in here, that's for sure. I remember that, at that time, it was a little over-the-top for me; I've become more sparse in my writing since then. I'm not sure it should really be called "Treason," because I don't think the final bit of dialogue uses the proper definition of the word. But the past is the past.
As a side note, one line of the dialogue in this story was the inspiration for a little literary magazine I wanted to run with Lisa and my room mate during my first year of college. It was to be called the Yankee Spy. Lisa still makes fun of me for that.
