I awoke that day to the sounds of men yelling and whips cracking‚ people screaming and chains rattling. I had no idea where I was. Though I had a splitting headache‚ I could tell I was moving‚ on something like a stretcher. I opened my eyes slightly‚ and saw that I was being carried by some men who appeared to be Fulani‚ along some sort of beach. I assumed I was on the coast‚ for when I glanced toward the sea it appeared to go on until it met the horizon. After understanding where I likely was

I peered down at the several plastic bags that I was holding; full of the essential shopping that I had gone out to get last minute for dinner. One of the bags (the one that was hurting my wrists) was clearly overfilled‚ but I couldn’t do anything about that‚ not now‚ in the middle of the street. Letting out a heavy sigh‚ I carried on walking‚ reaching carelessly into my pocket to clasp my phone. In the humidity‚ it felt lovely to have the cold‚ metal block against my hands. I pulled it out‚ feeling

Someone shuffles next to me who coughs weakly vibrating the bed. Puzzled‚ my neck twists around to catch myself gawping at the same golden eyes. Occasional snorts and grunts escape from the loftier man who hovers over shielding her from me as if I was about to pounce onto her. I try to question her presence just as her gaze alters to the man followed by the flowing brown colour of her hair.

“Bro these guys are huge! We are about to get beat so bad. And look how fast they are.” Austin Blake was usually never intimidated. As the captain of the defense he was generally so stoic you would have thought there was no one he couldn’t beat. His attitude always inspired confidence and tenacity in us. He was our fearless leader. But today it seemed as if his lack of confidence was just a foreshadowing of yet another total mental and physical collapse of a team in the face of Westwood High school

There were no tents or signs of shelter aside from a couple of low hanging branches that could provide some protection from a light rain or a particularly bright sun. A thin river ran at the far end of the camp‚ which was a small incline about ten feet deep with a couple of willows and an assortment of other trees that benefit from the running water. I took

Sparta Essay By: Belle Cardwell The rain; it’s calming like my mother’s grasp around me‚ engulfing me with warmth. That is over‚ though. Today is the Flagellation Day. It’s the day that proves if you’re man enough to become a Spartan Warrior. The heavy beatings and rude nature of the Flagellation go completely against my name‚ Charis.

We were always told not to even come close to touching his band equipment but we never really listened to that. We later found out about a man named Tony Lovato‚ my cousin’s semi-good friend with whom he jammed out with every once in a while. Many know of this man as the lead singer to the band Mest‚

we watched our house become nothing by the destruction of the tractor‚ I watched all the happy memories fade away. I cried for weeks and weeks‚ not realizing that all that time I could help repair and not destroy our family. I wasn’t even thinking about other families‚ just myself. I knew that was selfish‚ but I was only a child. There were probably a bunch of people that passed away and I was crying because I didn’t have a home. What if my brother was still in the bathroom and he could have died
