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

Families were gathered for a fun filled summer day. Children were building sand castles and splashing in the water‚ people young and old were lying on beach towels basking in the sun‚ couples were holding hands while walking along the shoreline taking in the beautiful scenery‚ and ATV’s and golf carts

I sit up drowsily in bed; the sun is shining through the window‚ making little patterns of light on my sheets. I rise‚ feeling the coolness of the wood floor against my feet as they touch the ground. I walk to the closet and grab my faded old jeans; I slip them on‚ buttoning the snap in one fluid movement. I pull open the top drawer

For a guy who had just recently got used to waking up at 10 AM‚ and spending the entire day playing soccer and video games‚ it was quite a challenge to wake up at six in the morning and take the metra to downtown by seven.

The spectacular exhibits from all over Chicago offers a remarkable insight from the era of gangsters and mobs to the era of the city’s becoming

Domestic Violence Domestic violence has been prevalent throughout history‚ quickly gaining a disheartening reality of popularity. It seems as though it has become an infinite epidemic. The same question still remains‚ though‚ for many. What is it like‚ and why can’t the victims just walk away without explanation to his or her abuser and without emotional attachment? It’s not as easy as it looks. Women who are in an abusive relationship often feel as if they deserve the

I crouch alongside the Pennsylvania State House silently. I peek out from the edge towards the front door. Two guards stand on each side engaging in small talk. With a groan‚ I slump back against the building. How am I supposed to get in? I lean my head against the wall and look up toward the sky. 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
