It was inky and stormy out‚ the wind was roaring like a hurricane was upon us. The year is 1882. I was with my best friend Lux‚ we were just ambulatory to head home from hanging out after church. It was approximately one O’clock in the morning‚ and as you can imagine it was fairly dark out. Anywho‚ we were walking and I saw this man with a ski mask on‚ only as he was approaching us‚ we realized that he didn’t have on a ski mask on. His skin was black as the night sky before us. I had never seen anyone

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

Touchdown! I jumped up in the air and cheered because my favorite football team won the game I was watching. Then a news flash storm watch popped up on the t.v. It said severe thunder storms‚ possible hail‚ high winds‚ and even said it seemed supernatural. Lightning flashed and I noticed my phone was on the back porch. I decided to make a run for it. 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

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. A bullet shatters the window

Over the past few months‚ I have not purchased many things for myself or my apartment . I have purchased a storage container‚ Amazon Prime‚ and Bath bombs.I purchased the storage container for my utensils and other things in my kitchen. Because my apartment is small I have a little to no cabinet space which is why I opted to buy additional space.

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

Over the next three weeks‚ we went hiking every morning. Our hikes were fun‚ at first. Soon though‚ I wanted to quit and sleep in‚ but the others seemed fine with it. It was just my luck that all of them were morning people. Every morning‚ one of them would haul me out of my sleeping bag and pour cold water on me to wake me up. It takes me thirty minutes to be fully awake and functioning; cold water speeds up the process. Annabelle had gotten bored with just hiking‚ so she added rock climbing

I began questioning my sexuality in seventh grade. I had just been given my first phone and suddenly a whole new world opened up to me. The LGBTQ+ community welcomed me with open arms as I read up on labels and identities‚ and I soon discovered that I’m bisexual. However‚ this “whole new world” also exposed me to bigotry‚ hate‚ and ignorance. Very quickly‚ I learned that people like me aren’t entirely accepted or respected. From hearing “f*ggot” and “gay” thrown around in classes to my friend’s negative

Ever since my freshmen year of high school‚ football has been the only thing that has mattered to me. I was given the opportunity to dress varsity as a freshman and being around that atmosphere‚ being on a successful team was intoxicating‚ especially to me at such a young age. I loved every minute of it‚ and I knew I wanted to be the one out on the field making the plays I watched that whole year. I made it my goal from that year on‚ I was going to give everything it took over the next three years
