The buttons to the pump were all faded from the sun and there was so much dirt you could see every little grain of it. I told my dad I would go in and

“We’s the same” Faces of disgust surround me in every direction‚ inching closer to me until I could feel myself pressing against the wall. Their eyes‚ cold and merciless‚ pierce through my skin‚ sending shivers down my spine. The strong scent of impending rain hangs in midair as the clouds loom in the sky with every shade of storm grey. Sealing my eyes shut‚ I breathe in deeply diverting the stares to face my rich‚ black complexion. A colour so gloomy should be invisible among the fair‚ but instead

We rolled out very slowly then the countdown happened all I saw was the lights go from red to green is half a second then we shot straight up 120 mph then 130 mph straight down.

But with what can be mistaken for the fur of a humble dog‚ his pelt protects him from this almost supernatural presence‚ or at the very least‚ muffles it’s cry. Upon getting to the spot‚ looking over the cliff‚ down to the cold winter see below‚ ‚ he hears a faint whisper from behind. The wolf’s shadow begins‚ “She is awake”.

Cancun‚ Mexico: where the ocean is so salty‚ the water burns your eyes‚ the humidity does not allow you to wear denim shorts‚ and the jungle extends far beyond where your eyes can reach to. The Riviera Mayan Jungle stores my memories‚ waiting for me to return. Looking out the airplane window‚ I wondered where the aircraft would land; there was no runway in sight‚ just layers of jungle‚ every shade of green.
