John and Carrie. I’m about to share with you one of the best‚ worst‚ and wildest experiences I have ever faced. It all started on a cold‚ September day‚ with it storming cats and dogs. I was in my bookshop‚ right next to the Blackleaf Lake‚ when he walked in. John was soaked from head to toe‚ and I just assumed it was from the storm. I got up off of the reading couch‚ and asked if he would like a towel and something dry to wear‚ and as I approached him I noticed what he was wearing. He looked

"I’m going to do this‚ Mom‚" said a young girl. In the distance‚ some people waded into the bay. They floated on their backs. They floated slowly towards the ocean‚ picking up speed once they were in the aisle between the two wharves that split the beach. "No‚ you’re not." Three lifeguards were on the double wharf. One sat relaxed in the chair strategically placed to see both sides at once. Two lifeguards stood at the far end‚ one on each wharf‚ beside the ocean‚ ready to jump in the ocean at a moment’s

“Maddie‚ wake up‚ wake up!” I hear my little sister Haley scream from behind my door. “Haley‚ it’s only 6:30 in the morning‚” I moan. “I want to play before camp starts‚” whines Haley. “Ok‚ I’ll play with you‚ but camp starts at 9 am‚ so we have two and a half hours‚” I say. I get up and I put on my red t-shirt‚ throw on some shorts‚ put on my blue shoes‚ and brush my hair and teeth. I go downstairs‚ and at the backdoor I see Haley and Maisy waiting for me. Maisy is my other little sister. Maisy

The Greek air was crisp and cool breeze ruffled up the colored leaves that cluttered the ground. Soldier Aturmica stopped for a moment. She closed her eyes‚ and allowed her senses to amplify; from a deer chewing while grazing the fields to a leaf falling on the ground she heard it all. “What’s the hold up?” Realizing that she was not in her own world she blushed. She was holding up the rest of the soldiers behind her. “Are we there yet?” Another asked. “We keep heading east‚” The commander

Five other women were here for the weekend‚ two of them with their partners and the other three alone‚ like Ariel. The two accompanied women were alone now‚ anyway‚ because this particular session was only for the infertile women‚ a chance to vent in private. They sat in a circle in the incense-laden room‚ and the conversation leader – a licensed therapist named Cindy – held up what she referred to as the "talking stick‚" what looked like a mini totem pole. Like the stick‚ Cindy was thin and knobby

“Well‚ I see it happening‚” she said laughingly‚ “That’s why I asked.” Shauna shot her mother a warning glance that said back the hell out of my love life mom. The queen understood what her daughter was trying to say‚ so she shut her mouth quickly. “Mom‚” said Shauna‚ “Can you please just say Christophe’s prophecy?” Her mother sat down on a stool‚ her eyes turned bright purple‚ and she spoke: Take the boy upon a high mountain in the east. Find the statue of Peast. Break the spell that has been

contaminated to even try to boil. The pipes ended up getting clogged and didn’t work anymore. Our family and others are very dependent on this river. Maybe‚ we’re all moving East‚ finally away from this nightmare. It’s where all my friends went. My parents were hoping the dust would all end soon enough. That’s why they decided to stay. “Do you think Leo and Pa got some milk today?” Ma asked‚ enthusiastically. “When was the last time they got any milk from our futile cows?” I questioned apathetically

Something flew by her. This time‚ she definitely knew it was a bird‚ a crow or raven of sort but bigger. Glancing around‚ Annabeth didn’t see anything but knew that something was there. Another black bird like creature flashed by her face. It left a long scratch down her face. Long but thankfully not very deep or bad. It reminded her of the time she had gotten a paper cut at school‚ but a lot longer. She looked down at her braclet. A shield‚ a flashlight‚ a knife. A shield would might work. Her hand

We were all strangers before this was ever planned. No one really thought it was possible to start with. I stepped into the portal of time that illuminated my bedroom wall. Like an endless spiral of darkness is what it looked like. I struggled to place my portal-acquiring-device—also known as PAD‚ in my pocket due to the overwhelming pressure‚ however I managed to just before I reached the other end. Lost in utter confusion‚ I wasn’t entirely sure what or where I am. I sighed in disappointment

I could only stare agape when our commander stood there lik an ignoramus. Odysseus sneered and cackled nearly overpowering Polyester’s vexing thunder. I faced Odysseus’s backside‚ my lips pursed and dark fists so firm not the cyclops himself could free my grip. However‚ the other men began to lower themselves into a corner‚ ready to cower and continue shivering. For what then had marked our second day in that putrid cave.
