Yesterday‚ my life changed. Arald‚ one of the older‚ hardened slaves had come up to me‚ taking my hand and pulling me behind the lean-to that all the slaves have to stay in. We lived on a small plantation‚ with a cruel Master who forced us to start working before the sun has risen‚ and to end much later than it has gone down. He was vicious‚ whipping any slave who was too slow‚ or who did not do a good job. He’d sold off Ma and Pa a little while ago‚ leaving me with my younger brother‚ Tommy. Since

My father trotted up to the dart game‚ like he was a big shot. I requested if I could play at least once. He said “sure thing.” As I walked up to the stand with the dart already on the table‚ I thought I was ready to throw it at the rubbery balloon. I closed my dark brown eyes and squinted very tight at the only balloon I wanted. With my trembling arm I tossed the dart at the balloon‚ but I “wamm.” I had popped the wrong one. Dad started to play the game‚ trying to win me the certain fluffy white

“Once upon a time…” Sitting in my chair‚ looking at my vanity. I sat there waiting for my third sister to retrieve me for the ball that the Duke was having. I looked at the liar in the mirror. She wasn’t bad looking‚ long brown hair twisted by the maids‚ feathers adorned her she again‚ this year she was an owl‚ one of those pretty barn owls that live in my bird collection.

It was simple and quite childish at the same time‚ seeing little kids pretending to call each other‚ but never really used one in her childhood. While moving into her new apartment and settling into her room‚ a plastic cup with a string was neatly placed on a telephone holder. Wondering if the previous

"I know‚" said Peter‚ interested; "two buck rabbits will fight all day if you let them‚ but they won’t hurt a doe." "No; and quite wild beasts — lions and elephants — they’re immensely gentle with the female beasts. And we’ve got to be‚ too." "I see‚" said Peter. "And their hearts are soft‚ too‚" the Doctor went on‚ "and things that we shouldn’t think anything of hurt them dreadfully.
