me as the house in which I grew up. I must admit that this house‚ although enormous‚ was neither the nicest nor the most comfortable house‚ yet my nostalgic nature has propelled me to treasure that house above all others. Having parted it for almost ten years‚ some details of the house are out of my grasp. The memory of the house now stands as a symbol of my childhood.

The adrenaline pumped through my veins. My heart was beating so loud and fast. There was the ball‚ held in the referee’s hands‚ about to be thrown up into the air. I stood a few feet behind the boy on the opposite team‚ poised and ready to catch the ball when my teammate smacked it toward me. Oh‚ I was so nervous. Suddenly the basketball hit my stomach with incredible force. It bounced off and rolled away on the floor to be picked up by the opposite team. The game had begun‚ and I had already dropped

December all the way to the beginning of July is where I get to watch my project grow and develop. As soon as the herd sees me stumbling down the hill‚ they race to the gate and acknowledge me with bellers. Many of them fight to the front with their broad shoulders‚ as soon and I step foot in the big open doorway‚ I then smell of fresh bedding and manure fills the air. There are green gates hanging up on the side of the barn to my right and cornstalk bales right in front of me. The first two lots

The window directly above me suddenly opens and I freeze in fear. “Why are you opening that window? It’s out in the back hall!” “Well‚ I thought we could leave the door open and have a nice breeze flow in.” An older man around his forties replies. I hold my breathe until his I hear his footsteps fade away into the other room. Of course‚ I could get

We played against higher level teams to make us better‚ and that was the hardest thing to do. We won every single game in the past five weeks‚ and all of those games were for the President’s Cup. “This is what we worked for‚ this is what we’ve been waiting for‚ waiting for our talent to reveal itself‚” says my coach‚

She was oblivious to what I was doing in that moment. We were at the arcade in the middle of July in Stone Harbor‚ NJ. We decided that after we were done playing all the games‚ that we would combine our tickets and split it. After about an hour‚ we came together to add up our tickets. To my surprise‚ she had won more tickets than me‚ but we stuck

Ideal Vacation My family had always looked forward to leaving the valley during the torrid summer months. You see I never really had an actual vacation‚ since my father had been gone for eight long‚ dreadful years. He was sent away to a prison thousands of miles away‚ in Florida‚ when I was only six years old. My loving mother talked about ancient vacations we took‚ but I was too young to remember. My father was back home and he was as healthy as a young doctor. It was now summer of 2010‚ and I

smell of musty river water enters my nose as I took in a breath of fresh air. The sight of my dogs chasing each other like 2 high-speed bunny rabbits hopping around in a continuous circle wasn’t anything unordinary.

With the excruciating pain that poked my eyes‚ I walked to the mirror and was surprised to look at my red eyes. That was not the worst part‚ as I focused more into my eyes on the mirror‚ I realised that at the center of my eyeballs‚ there was a white bulge‚ round and small.

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.
