Blood now dripping down her cheeks and a thorn peice into a her tuft as she caught herself in a compact thorn and nettle bush. No! I can't. I can't escape! She thought rapidly not thinking. Bam! She had been hit. Blood spilled. As the she cat suffered a long painful death. It wasn't her fault. Her Insides cascading down the overgrown forest. Her body lifeless. Eyes still filled with fear as if she had never died. She suffered her final breath as she laid cold on the

    Participating in the previous three Olympic games, Usain Bolt from Jamaica holds the world record for the 100-meter dash. A normal human would struggle to complete his rigorous training, yet Bolt trains daily, spending “90 minutes in the gym every day” (Citation). He focuses on speed and agility, core strengthening, and weight training during those ninety minutes. Examples of his power-filled workout include reverse crunches, box hops, cable knee drives, medicine ball slams, barbell lunges, sled drag, and more. Bolt performs each action quickly and explosively. For speed training, he completes twenty block starts and steadily runs repeated 20, 30, and 100 meters for an hour, each sprint working on acceleration, deceleration, or top-end speed. (Citation). He will sprint wearing a weighted vest, and he varies his speed and length of rest to place him in the most developed athletic shape to win.…

    I should’ve known something was wrong when the dear fell into the road on my way to the top of the Roan. I was driving along the rough road up the Roan, when out of nowhere, what appeared to be a yearling doe fell from the top of the Plateau and started running at full speed down the mountain. I assumed the doe had gotten a late start and was trying to catch up with her herd, but it had a primal fear in its eyes that I thought was brought on by the unexpected sight of me in the truck. This was odd because deer aren't…

Fear gripped him as he thought back at all those stories his neighbourhood friends told him, bloodthirsty savage cats in the forest, who kill for fun and laugh at their prey as blood flows out of their life-sustaining arteries and heave for their last breaths and...maybe he was just thinking too much.…
