“Okay‚ everything looks good‚” they nod and hand me a small plastic receipt‚ “Go ‘round the corner and one of our technicians will be with you shortly.” I’d been donating blood to ZLB plasma for the past few months‚ ever since I’d left Lana and the luxury of Kenwood for this small one bedroom apartment in Stadium Village. Twice a week I would come here‚ less than a block from the apartment that Chris had let me use while he was deployed in Iraq. He was just a young boot-ass then‚ always getting

The Chimaera’s Island I was on my ship‚ looking at a map trying to determine which direction we should head‚ to reach land‚ but suddenly some of my men barged open the door to my study. “Odysseus”‚ one of my men shouted to gain my attention. “When will we be home?” I had no clue when we would be home and I was in no position to lie to my crew. I looked up from the many maps scattering the large desk and said‚ “My men‚ I will not lie to those few who have survived with me. I have looked at many of

"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

Mustafa Hafezzada A Renewed Drive (Historical Site Report #2) The Getty Villa‚ located in Pacific Palisades‚ is by far the museum that resonates with me the most. From the artwork to the building itself‚ I’m in love. I went with a childhood friend of mine because I had an extra ticket and I coerced him to join me. The tickets were free‚ but the parking was fifteen dollars; a very fair price in my opinion. To get to the Getty Villa you must drive on a pathway that felt very rough in my car

Gon’s boots crushed the flaky snow littered around them‚ the pure white color brimming off the snow nearly blinded them as they’re eyes were already so adjusted to the Ruin’s crude lighting. Naturally‚ Gon was freezing in the new wintery environment with Whale Island’s warm upbringing and naturally‚ Killua was indifferent to the sub-zero temperature. "Don’t you feel like we’re being watched?" Killua slipped in. His comment made Gon’s stomach twist in such a way he hadn’t felt before since fall

The ship floundered‚ bobbing in the ragged sea like a bloated corpse. Three rows of oars slapped at the angry sea‚ but could not hold the waves at bay. The sea was no friend to the finless creatures on the wooden vessel‚ and their terror screamed louder than the wind. Another wave swelled‚ hammering the ship until the wood groaned. The mast splintered and fell. The wind howled. “Man overboard‚” came the wavering cry. Distance and rain watered down the call to a whimper. It was only a matter of moments

“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

Paned Nights At quarter to two‚ the moon shone down with an ashen glow. Its sullen radiance provided the perfect ambience in front of his bedroom window. Lighting barely filtered through the layers of fog‚ another set of curtains that hung beyond paned glass. Expected footsteps pierced through thin walls‚ disrupting him from slumber and once again‚ forcing his attention across the street. A young boy could be seen‚ the mop on his head bouncing loosely as he jerked himself through the barricade of

Chapter One We played in the woods until dark. The moon cast an eerie glow on the trees as we ran around. A bat flew overhead and I ducked. It was my turn to count for hide -n- seek. “One‚ two‚ three four‚ fi- Aaaaahhhhh. What was that?” I asked myself outloud. I began in the direction of the screams when I came upon a house. The front door was wide open. I saw someone dash across the opening. Then the screaming began again. “Aaaaahhhh! Help us Alex! We’re in here!” The sound was clearly coming
