On a scorching hot day‚ I feel a slight breeze as my hair falls above my eyes. We are all excited to finally go to the playground after a day of hard work. On a typical day‚ my friends and I play competitive kickball games that usually end in an argument. But today‚ I smelled the musty and sharp sense of rain from last night. I looked to see there was mud covering the whole field‚ which resulted in the teachers howling at us to get off. They informed us that we had to go to the sand to play. When

It was what seemed like an ordinary day. The sun rising over the horizon‚ the birds singing‚ and a noisy crowd in the center of the village. A few feet to the right of the village was the shore‚ toward where I was walking along with others; suddenly‚ we encountered something never seen before. From far‚ one could see what looked like tiny floating mountains. Out of amusement‚ we ran to the shoreline only to find out the mysterious objects were enormous boats; huge in comparison to the ones from the

I did not know what it meant to be happy until I was almost twenty years old. Growing up‚ I viewed the world through what seemed to be a veil; everything was muted‚ grey and distant. I had reached a point where I accepted how I felt‚ where I came to regard it as normal. Looking back‚ I realize how wrong I was. My first semester of college was a wake-up call‚ both for me and my parents. At the start of winter break‚ my parents sat me down in our living room‚ holding me between them‚ and asked

I grabbed a small flashlight and ran outside. Right before I grabbed my phone‚ I tripped. The flash light flew out of my hand a few feet away from

They called the team name from the front of the judge booth. “Seymour Tigers‚ you may take the mat!” The nerves were rushing through all of us. The adrenaline kicked in and we got on the mat cheering and yelling variations of “Go Seymour!” or “We got this girls!” I know who said “We got this.”. It was Emily‚ who in the beginning was across from me; she gave me a nod and mouthed “Good Luck”. Other girls on the team gave each other the same look of reassurance too. Suddenly‚ the arena that had been

I remember the time when I had locked myself in my room for hours; peeking through the small keyhole‚ I could see the guests moving around the hall and I decided not to go out. However‚ my mom kept knocking my door‚ insisting me to come out. I pretended to ignore her‚ but when the guests started calling out my name along with her‚ I had to open the door reluctantly. Instead of having any conversation with them‚ I thought it would be a better idea for me to just go for a quick handshake and walk away

So‚ this is what the world has become. Bullets continue to tear through the other side of the car. The small explosions and ricochets cement my feet tighter to the ground‚ and I press as close as I can to the driver’s side door. Every muscle in my body aches‚ but I know that I cannot give up here. She needs me. More than that‚ I promised my dad I would keep her safe. But‚ most of all‚ I swore to myself that I would never let anything happen to her‚ no matter what it took.

All my life I have imagined different crazy scenarios that would never occur‚ but sounded amazing in my head. From being a sword fighter in the older days‚ to traveling through space with a Wookie and a man. These various stories have always been something I’ve had an interest in creating in my head. Zombies‚ of course‚ has been one of them. The first and most important thing would be going for a weapon. Obviously‚ you don’t want something too loud‚ as it would alert the other zombies around‚ but

Grendel‚ arrives to the porch of Herot‚ as his demon like appearance is exposed due to the glimmering overhead light shining upon him. He hurriedly grips the door handle and tears the door straight to the floor. The collapsing door and Grendel’s stomp into the grand entrance was as loud as thunder. Straight ahead of him‚ lay the warriors‚ sleeping like rocks. The walls of pure gold were so shiny‚ it was as if it was reflecting off the warriors skin. A sense of pure joy fills his mind‚ and his mouth
