It has been a year since the last time I visited a place which left enduring memories in me - an old palace once belonged to my friend - The Great Gatsby. I still remember the day I have met him for the first time in one of his weekly generous parties. It was a summer day in 1922‚ soon after the end of World War‚ the golden era of the United States‚ when the laws against alcohol have just been repealed‚ I as well as many people were attracted to long Island with the hope of following their American

There was no visible light out. It was calm out tonight; mid night dew still fresh on my boots. The smell of fresh pine covered the bare spot of the forest I was now camped in. It was time to break camp; camping too long in one spot could give away my posion. I quickly put away the rest of the salted pork in my left leg pocket and mounted my gun on my right shoulder. I started to stand up‚ but very slowly as to not alert a fly. I finally reach mid standing (not quite standing‚ but not quite crouching

I absently look at the time on my watch‚ “Sure. I’ll meet you around eight or so. Stub and Herbs?” “Stay strong‚” he salutes with a fist. “Army strong‚ Sergeant‚” I smile and continue walking toward the Arby’s down the street. I check the time on my phone‚ class started fifteen minutes ago. May as well make a few bucks to get by‚ I shrug. I cross the Arby’s parking lot and walk next door where a gaggle of crackheads‚ homeless and welfare check recipients all chain smoke in front of the small

DUDLEY WAS ROUSED FROM SLEEP BY A QUIVERING‚ SHAKING HAND ON HIS arm and an apprehensive voice shuddering his name‚ “D-Dudley wake up!”. He opened his eyes drowsily‚ vaguely making out what seemed to be a figure. Was John waking him up for work? He felt an unbearable disequilibrium agitating him‚ he did not have any drive to work at the sawmill. A strident voice of modulation triggered the release of the grip. “URUSAI!”. It was a voice he could not understand. What was happening? Was it a dream?

Thunder could be heard rumbling and lightning lit up the night sky. Emery Clarkson‚ a man in his thirties‚ emerged out of an Clarkson Corporations after a late night of trying to finish the never-ending‚ mountain-of-work on his desk. His hair was dishevelled‚ his face exhibited a weary expression‚ his suit was wrinkled

The sound of soothing music penetrated time and space‚ interrupting a peaceful slumber. The melody beckoned her to come closer‚ drawn into another world‚ another dimension. Obeying the Piped Piper‚ she followed the sound into the dense mist that made it difficult to see. The encompassing fog obscured all vision and her fear hung on the distinct possibility of running into something unyielding or worse falling into a deep chasm. Until suddenly realizing that wouldn’t be feasible as her feet weren’t

Reaching the 10 mile mark to get back to the original camping site got everyone happy but the happiness soon died as the dark clouds caved our heads and tiny little droplets fell down like bullets. The strong wind howled through the river and the thunder roared. Trees on the side started dancing and leaves clapped their hands. My canoe started rocking harder and harder from side to side allowing the big waves to come into my canoe. Three canoes was already ahead of us and another just went past

We stop at a stop light in a town right outside of Panama‚ we roll down the windows and you can smell the salty ocean water. We are finally here after twelve long leg cramping‚ neck hurting‚ and back wrenching hours in the car. It was all worth it though just thinking about getting your toes in the tan hot sand. Once we were finally in the city and driving down the strip we rolled down the windows and just admired the view of the ocean and all the waves crashing in. I couldn’t wait to get to
