Homeostasis literally means “same state” and it refers to the process of keeping the internal body environment in a steady state‚ when the external environment is changed.

I believe that children are very easily influenced‚ and as a child‚ I was exposed to literature almost every night. I began to read Goosebumps books when I was only five years old.

We kept on getting pushed back in the order since people were coming in with much more serious injuries. There was one person who was sitting across the room from my dad and I he

If there was a word to describe this story‚ it would be "death‚" or any word along the same context.

Parasite When Cynthia wakes up this morning‚ the first thing she does‚ like always‚ is to look at herself in the mirror. This has been the first step in her morning rituals for as long as she remembers. Every morning‚ she would inspect her face minutely‚ carefully observing every little imperfection.

I waited for that moment to happen‚ but all I saw was the series of decisions that led me to the situation I was in.

Her soft hand had brushed my cheek sending goosebumps down my arm‚ but that was over an hour ago‚ if only she knew how to save me from this endless darkness.... Now I was on my own.
