Watching the cars going down the quarter mile of black pavement at a high rate of speed simply amazes me. There are so many different cars at the track racing. From a 1970 Chevelle to a brand new 2003 Corvette‚ and sometimes if your lucky

The Wounded Soldier A blast of cold air hits on his face like the blade of a shredding knife. Bodies of fallen comrades and enemies lay all around him. The smell of flesh from both sides of the war together with the dust and smoke almost made him sick. He has never been more aware and cautious‚ cowering in fear at the sounds of machine guns. The thought of reuniting with his family is the only hope that gave him the strength to continue‚ allowing him to forget about the inclement taste

I pulled my attention away from the note long enough to see the bus leaving from the curb. I continued reading‚ the note listed directions on how to open a portal to another world

what I think... They said this would be for the greater good‚ but seems like the total opposite. “This is a new era in warfare!”‚ “World peace at last!”‚ their voices scream in my head. To me‚ it’s all bullcrap. Look at where it got us. No world peace. No safe haven. I look and see emptiness.The city is empty‚ quiet‚ and lifeless. I thought this would end all wars‚ but it’s much worse. Instead of helping people. It infested them… Before all this I was a Navy Seal fighting on the front lines. I was

Standing there you can’t help but hear the rolling wave’s crash at the water’s edge.

you are living in the future. If you are at peace‚ you are living in the present.” ― Lao Tzu As I left the Indianapolis airport at almost midnight‚ I knew that I was in an unfamiliar place‚ however‚ I couldn’t see it either.

Rocket Man I am finally ready. The ever so daunting transition between childhood and adulthood was now staring me in the face. After almost eighteen years of laughter‚ love and tears. The world around me had slowly but methodically changed me for the better. And it was not till now that I realised how unbelievably thankful I am for it.
