The scent of popcorn wafts over the peeling red walls of the ancient gym. Fluorescent lights blind me as I turn to glance over at the creaky old bleachers. The shuffles and murmurs of parents fill the sticky air while they come in. Clad in itchy mesh jerseys that boasted a large spur on the front hung over the equally uncomfortable shorts that resembled the jet black of my jersey‚ I block out the cheers of the crowd while attempting to perfect my form. Swish! The basketball floats through the air

The clouds huddle together ominously‚ their dark curves mocking the landscape. The horizon is threatening and angry‚ the clouds roll in with the roaring thunder brewing destruction. A flock of birds disperse rapidly as a bolt of lightning illuminates the gloomy sky. The once golden land is now a black haze. The violent wind hurtles towards me‚ tearing through the building that once protected me. Anything standing in its way is wrecked. The wind charges through the leaves of the swaying trees

At the end of the road was a narrow‚ overgrown trail‚ that followed along the sloping edge of a branch head. At the end of the trail‚

I woke up one April morning with the chickadees chirping rapidly in the tree branches. I threw my pants and socks on and rushed down the stairs as the smell of fresh bread assaulted my nose. Mom was already awake and greeted me with a slice of crispy toast‚ the butter was perfectly melted and seeped into the crust one squeeze‚ and it oozed out and dripped on the floor. Once I put my boots on‚ my feet were excited and before I knew it‚ I was flying out the door. One step outside and the smell of melting

Finding my self within the middle of nowhere‚ I gaze the crystal moon standing with the exception of the coal black sky in the midst of lustrous crystal sparkles. The mist grasped within the air obscuring my vision like peering through a ocean of grey. The glow was dimming‚ producing new dark virtual portrayal patches around me. The wind hastily howled between abnormal branches‚ conveying the scent of rich tree decay. The air is thick‚ clammy with the puff of mouldering of leaves. The constant ticking

The night was cold and quiet as if the whole city block went to sleep. With nothing but silent raindrops and distant voices‚ I wake up from my four hour slumber and looked at the time. Glancing at the clock on my computer‚ the numbers on the screen clearly says 12:20 pm. “Yeah‚ today is Halloween‚” I think to myself sarcastically.

It is the first time we have been here since the snow melted. The grass is three feet tall‚ as are the yellow tansies. We drive in on the dusty gravel road‚ hauling our campers and four-wheelers. The road twists‚ turns‚ rises‚ and falls with every second we drive. After a long wait in the vehicle‚ we arrive. I take the first step out onto the rough‚ rocky lawn‚ breathe in the fresh air‚ and make my way to the back of the truck. Dad and I get the camper ready as my brother unloads the four-wheelers

The air is thick and heavy even away from the shoreline. As she steps outside her hair becomes a frizzy fuzz ball. Smells of salt wafts up so strong it burns her nose hairs. Taking a breath in she lets the humid air fill her lungs. She walks across the scorching sand until the chilly water brings her bare feet some relief. Sand kisses in between her toes‚ sliding away only after she lifts her foot to take another step. Just above the sand‚ the water twirls it in a hypnotic dance overtop her perfectly
