That Fateful Day I remember that day‚ long ago from my childhood. It was warm the night before‚ nearly 80 degrees‚ so I had left my window open. The morning winds where rushing through my school work on the desk. Black and white squiggles on seven pieces of paper‚ every one of them part of an accumulation of the last two weeks of homework. I needed them to get any kind of decent grade in my first weeks of the fourth grade. “It’s Tuesday today dad.” I said tentatively to my father. He just stood

Once the snow starts to pile up‚ you have to be very careful of not slipping off the road. Slowing down five‚ even ten miles per hour‚ under the speed limit

I could see schools of tropical fish‚ starfish floating in and out with the tide‚ and a pair of crabs fighting over a recently caught meal. I looked upwards on the horizon and noticed a storm coming in. “I’ll just play in the water for a few minutes.” I jumped in the ocean and swam away from the beach‚ leaving the stress of everyday life behind me. What feels like an eternity of serene peace abruptly

My Best Day Ever It seems to me that birthday celebrations’ become less interesting as time passes. There are no more party hats‚ balloons‚ cake‚ ice cream‚ and the joyful sound of “Happy Birthday.” I guess that’s why we hold all the good memories inside our heart‚ so whenever there’s a bad issue that may come up‚ we can reminisce on the past. In fact‚ birthday celebrations in my family were rare because my grandmother was raising eight children in a three bedroom house by herself‚ and she
