Mrs Skoda's camp coffee

A love story

The summer of 1958 was an idyllic time to be 15 years old. While the adults were concerned with their car payments and fallout shelters, my pals and I were more concerned about meeting girls at the beach.

Our little cadre consisted of 4 gentlemen, (Harry, Andy, Jim , Pat) and myself.
We decided to hang around the jukebox at the pavilion and hope that some girls would show up.
They did. Five girls from Schenectady. We had hit the mother lode.
Harold danced with Sandra, Andy danced with Susan, Pat danced with Pat, Barbra danced with Jim, and I danced with Mary Lou.
We were invited to Barbra's parents' camp later that day.

    About noon, on the fifth day of their journey, Charity told Uriah to stop the wagon. Looking around, Uriah did not see anything in particular that caught his attention and did not know why she wanted him to stop; as far as he could tell, there was not anything they needed there. And, his mother had not gotten off the wagon to go do her business or said anything about eating lunch.

    As Fin walked along the street the leaves of the oak trees shone like patches of blue velvet, but when he stopped still nothing shimmered. The waves refused to move. The glow of the city still seeped into the morning sky, forever. He felt he must be dreaming, and yet he was sure he wasn't dreaming because everything felt so real. Surely his brain was not powerful enough to create such a masterful illusion. Or was it? He felt his head imploding just trying to figure it…

    Imaginative Writing

    Tim O’Brien is an American author who writes stories based on his experiences in the Vietnam War. O’Brien, throughout the story ‘The Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong’, describes the changes that Mary Anne goes through during her time in Vietnam. Mary Anne’s physical and mental changes that she goes through during her time in Vietnam also press and signify the changes that the soldiers, and possibly the civilians, go through in a time of war. O’Brien also chooses to have Rat tell this story even though O’Brien informs us that Rat has a reputation for exaggeration and overstatement of facts, which makes the story difficult to believe.…

    How To Write A Short Story: The Red Panther Party

    November 22, 2014 was a rather chilly day for going outside. The autumn skies were a pale blue with an overcast that had been drifting for days. The leaves had already turned and were beginning to settle for a long winter. Megan, and few other friends and I had thrown an ugly Christmas sweater party the night before and decided to make it a sleepover. Once we had woken up and retrieved our hot breakfast and warm coats, we stepped into the cool, fall morning air. The plan was to finally show my friends an old girl scout camp that was shut down in the early 1900s. The camp was pretty successful at first, but sadly shut down due to the drowning of a young 13 year old girl who had been swimming in a lake nearby. All of my friends found it extremely fascinating so we decided to take a look around the abandoned campground.…
