The sun had already disappeared from the sky by the time she arrived home. Lisa unlocked her front door and went inside. The house looked just like she had left it. Her horror book lay on the table‚ just where she left it‚ waiting for her to read the last pages. Lisa locked the door and threw the keys onto the counter. She sat down in her reading chair and continued to read her horror story and nibble on biscuits. After a long day she needed time to relax before her husband came home from work. As

The dust has made its home with us for seven years. I know this because for every year that the dust has blown‚ crushed‚ and swept through our Valley I’ve given birth.

He sent a letter

Maya Jones shivered‚ her eyes falling shut. She threw her head back‚ a small moan escaping her parted lips. She felt herself losing control of her body. She began to feel light like a feather‚ and no longer felt any worries. Maya felt the bed beneath her dissolve as she began to float. This was a feeling she’s never felt before‚ it’s what most people would call an ‘out of body experience.’ “Don’t stop.” she whispered. “Please.” Denver’s lips found her ear where he gently bit on her ear lobe.

Now and again she would glance up at the clock‚ but without anxiety‚ merely to please herself with the thought that each minute gone by made it nearer the time when he would come.

We have explored a variety of writing styles with food as the central theme throughout. My first essay was an ode to steak‚ which took you through all the senses from the hint of smell to the first savory bite.

The last essay was to capture and critique a moment shared with lobster. I am proud of all my essays. If
