"Black Blood"
Narrator: Tamir "TJ" Martin Jr.
PRESENT DAY
I've been black my whole life, so this comes as no surprise. But it still hurts me anyway. I know not what to say. They, clad in blue, take our lives. Red hands dare snuff out our light, then throw our image on the screen; screaming we are the "obscene". Another victim painted guilty, chalk outlines plague the city. If I can't make you believe that this blood on the street is worth as much as the protectors you hold dear... If I can't just make you see this black blood on the street, then this assault will permeate endless, I fear. I have been black my whole life. It should come as no surprise that I am angry with this norm, now I'm welcoming the storm. You, under oath, dare to lie. I know not how you sleep at night. But they protect you just the same. This whole damn system is to blame. Another killer found "not guilty", chalk outlines plague the city.
Another way to judge the guilty, chalk outlines plague the city.

"Stavesacre"
Narrator: Mr. & Mrs. Arroyo
PRESENT DAY
As lovers do, we were made to drift apart, so don't we refuse to start? Our story rolled the credits before we got off the ground. Things will always be the same here stuck on old Peppertree Lane. There is sin stuck in the clouds, so why don't we be honest now? I should've known we were always doomed to fail. Our fortune on the walls in braille. We were never meant to be more than the parents of our kids. I will never be the same. Twenty-four years, we're both to blame. Our boys don't live here anymore. What are we still doing this for? Things will always be the same, in this old house I dare not claim. These walls aren't big enough for you and I.

"By Proxy"
Narrator: James Langston
PRESENT DAY
If I, by association, could walk into heaven... I would be one grateful heathen. If I, by proxy, could shrug off the flaming sea and dance among the clouds... you and me. If any "god" should call you when we pass, can you see if they'll allow me in your class? I'm not sure I even believe in God anymore. I hope he understands if I come knocking at his door. This time we have above ground is not enough to spend together. I'd like to spend forever with you. If I, as a rare exception, could walk into heaven... I hope I won't be quite as stubborn as I've been. If I, vicariously, could enjoy admission to the gates and live forever as the love in life you claimed... If you should ever miss me when I die, can you see if God will allow this to fly?
