The way of me beats the way of you. I’m beautiful, I’m perfect, my imperfections are not true. Doubting me will only hurt you, because the way of me beats the way of you. (pride)

Another box of pizza emptied, and added to the shoulder high stack by his bed in which he never leaves, because the food feels his head. Over here his father is suffering, over there his mother cries how little could he care when he has another box of fries? (gluttony)

Blazing hot in the small impoverished town, just one elder woman sews everyone’s clothes. It’s summertime so they call for shorts that’s just the way it goes. She starts her first pair, and sure she is no printer but by the time she’s done it’s already winter. (sloth)

I’m king cole and I am a very Merry soul you see, but there’s people who think different my very own family. Only because my riches are rushing, and they are poor, and they have nothing. I earned what I have and what I have they can’t. I could always help them out but no I shan’t. (greed)

Isaac and Grant have been best friends for life, but once every week Isaac goes home with Grant’s wife. Their friendship and closeness is something he can’t deny, and yet he can’t help crave getting between her thighs. (lust)

Getting ready for school trying to look like her the hairstyle from yesterday was just another err. Her damn blonde hair and outfit perfectly put together. Nothing more do I wish just to look like Heather. (envy)

Dr. Alan Charles, abortion provider, just performed on Mrs. Miller. He comes home to his missing infant son, then finds Mr. Miller is his killer. (wrath)
