George Wing Instructor: Abby Wolford English 101-004W June 12‚ 2013 Cramer Lakes The Cramer Lakes are nestled six miles up a gentle incline from Redfish Lake in the Sawtooth Wilderness of Idaho. The jagged‚ irregular peaks of the ridges surrounding the lakes form the horizon. Mt Cramer towers over the rest at an elevation of 10‚715 feet‚ the second highest mountain in the range. Each of the three lakes has a short outflow into the next‚ eventually reaching the South fork of the Payette River

A single bed and stainless steel toilet and sink are the only things that belong to me. For three days‚ I was given three meals a day and nothing else. After breakfast‚ two men with the crest of New London on their shoulders drag me into a room with a simple electric chair in the middle. They gag me and stand upright at my side for what seemed to be a few hours. A

Annie Normile 11/22/14 College Writing I Professor Liddle Exploring Authentic Experiences The ground beneath the stiff leaves is frozen. The cold‚ brisk air invades my lungs‚ I exhale‚ my breath visible. I step over fallen branches and get tugged on by thorny vines. The untrailed path I forge to the top of this mountain is steep and difficult‚ but worth the work to be a new explorer on the fresh‚ dewridden ground of this lonely mountain on this brisk morning

Dinosaur Park just outside of Glen Rose‚ Texas. The park was passable as a campsite and had the requisite toilet and water‚ but the big positive draw for this campsite was not the park itself‚ but the bluegrass festivals held each year around Labor Day and the early fall. If one has never been to a blue grass‚ they have missed an extra special entertainment venue. The concerts provided some of the best bluegrass bands in the country. And‚ notwithstanding the outstanding talent associated with some

It was a typical spring day; flowers stand tall‚ soaking in the sun’s warm rays as they swing in the gentle yet crisp breeze. A song composed of chirping birds slightly overpower the sound of traffic as it is still early in the morning. Macy Jones awoke after a well rested night. Her facial expressions indicate happiness however‚ a way of reality hit‚ quickly transforming the slight smile into a deep frown. Macy Jones is not pretty‚ nor does she feel loved. She often wished her dull brown hair be

Kaytlin Edwards Melted Knee Everything appeared to melt from the heat of the sweltering sun. I had fallen twice that day and every time I tried to get back up it was like a cloud of darkness was in my head and covering my eyes. Dribbling a ball up and down a court in 100 degree weather can cause a little bit of dizziness. Except the third time I fell‚ my head did not experience the darkness; my whole body did. It was as though someone let a cage of butterflies out in my stomach‚ but not the kind

In a southern Oklahoma there is a large lake full of fish. In this place‚ on many warm summer days‚ my family and I would bring our boat to the lake and ride the cool calm water. We would anchor our boat and cast our rods and relax catching countless sparkling rainbow trout. My family and I did this for many years. The lake was large and always full of people‚ and it was surrounded by trees and full of fish. The smells were great‚ as well as the campfires and food‚ and it was always a good getaway

I’ve seen it all. The horrible facsimile of reality we live in is beginning to break down. Things aren’t right. I’ve seen things. Things that make me question my sanity. A recent trip to the grocery store turned into a Lovecraftian nightmare. I usually have to go to three different grocery stores because crème fraîche is impossible to find in this land of abundance and my fancy French cookbook calls for it in nearly every recipe. Grocery stores are demonic. The vast selection of yogurts alone should

They have drink menus for dinner lunch and breakfast. For the beginning of the day they have traditional tangy orange juice and sweet apple juice. For lunch they break out all of our favorite fizzy drinks. And for dinner they get wild and bring the margaritas to the table‚ whether you like them frozen or liquid they have it all.

Our world is plagued. Never thought that things would end up this way. Without warning nations fell‚ bodies stacked‚ and there’s very few survivors left. At least that’s what I think... They said this would be for the greater good‚ but seems like the total opposite. “This is a new era in warfare!”‚ “World peace at last!”‚ their voices scream in my head. To me‚ it’s all bullcrap. Look at where it got us. No world peace. No safe haven. I look and see emptiness.The city is empty‚ quiet‚ and lifeless
