I woke up one morning with the intention of wanting to do something crazy. Both the timing and the situation were perfect. I called my friends and then told them the plan. At first‚ they were hesitant but after a little peer pressure‚ they finally caved in. In a few hours‚ all of my friends arrived at my house on their bikes. They brought bottled water and granola bars for energy‚ some money in case of emergency and they were even wearing all black as if we were going to rob a bank. As I led them

Boom! The vicious‚ metal monster clasped down on its next victim‚ drawing the helpless people further into the depths of its massive body. The monster slithered like a ravenous snake as it pulled its prey along. The beast flew high above the clouds nearly touching heaven and then bolted like lightning towards the ground faster than the speed of light. As it peered over the edge of the cliff‚ I saw the monster look me in the eyes and scream much louder than any noise I had heard before. In my mind

Prologue: The Thaumaturge “Thaumaturgy the capability of a magician or a saint to use magic to make miracles‚” that’s the general definition of a thaumaturge. Of course‚ there’s a lot more to it than just being a simple magician or some ‘Holy’ saint. Magic itself‚ also called Vis (v-ee-ce)‚ is what’s hard to come by as in this world it’s all but forgotten‚ at least as far as I know. I haven’t come across anybody with a high affinity for magic in the entirety of my career‚ except for my master

My breath is soft and slow‚ and the only thing that I can hear is the faint howling of the wind. I pull back the string and wrap my fingers around the arrow. I aim and let loose. The arrow flies and hits right on the target. Archery is one of the things that I live for‚ as well as soccer and listening to music. My culture is what I do on a day to day basis and what is a large portion of my life. When I wake up in the morning there are a few things that I think about and look forward too. These

The Comeback Walking into the locker room about to get ready to go to our last football game of the season. I could smell the sweaty equipment from the kids who never take their pads home. The Hempfield Spartans 7th grade team would be ending their season 0-7 if we didn’t win today. As I was changing into my pads my friend mike walked in the room. I said “you ready for tonight”. “Heck yeah” replied Mike. I got on the bus looking for a seat I sat in the back with

I have played piano and violin since I can remember. It could be that I have a bad memory‚ that I didn’t do anything until I was in second grade‚ or that making music was not something I wanted to do and couldn’t. I do remember asking my mother if I could play violin. She asked me why‚ and I said because one of my friends did. I started playing piano because my parents thought it a good idea. I did not. My opinion has changed since then‚ I rather enjoy playing now. I sometimes wonder what it

Cheerleading is one of my most defining life experiences. The sport allowed me to explore not only my leadership qualities‚ but also my own mentorship abilities.

When my mother decided to try a new method of keeping me on track‚ I completely lost my cool. It was a typical day at Sabino High School. I

ZIP LINING Screams‚ yells‚ laughter shouting filled my ears just making it even more nerve racking. When I was ten years old‚ I spent a week at Sandy cove Camp for Girls‚ a sleep away camp in Virginia. From canoeing in the brisk waters of a small river to horseback riding through deep forest trails‚ there was never a dull day at this place. I was an archer‚ a cowgirl‚ a swimmer‚ and an artist all in a matter of days. Throughout the week‚ I found satisfaction in thinking that I
