There was a loud clunk as some bright white lights flashed on and broke through the darkness under the canvas sack. I could make out a few shadows‚ but other than that the material was too thick to see through properly. Did I mention my mild claustrophobia? Either way‚ I was scared. More than scared. If it was one thing I’d leant in my profession‚ it was exposure to fear didn’t always create tolerance. Dr Crane had kindly proven that. I could hear Alexandra breathing harshly to my right‚ but the

High school is a period of wonder‚ excitement‚ and mystery‚ where a teen’s first taste of freedom guides them on their journey. On the contrary‚ it is a time of social pressure and anxiety‚ where fitting in with “the crowd” is what looms on every young boy’s mind. This was me as a sophomore‚ trying to fit into the archetype of the athlete; the student who could clock a 6 minute mile or just hit a jump shot. I would mirror their actions‚ trying to force myself to copy certain qualities‚ like music

At one point in my life‚ words were incomprehensible‚ the difficulty to concentrate became harder and harder each time. Unable to understand the words floating on my paper. It wasn’t until the age of eight‚ I was diagnosed with a curse called Dyslexia. As a kid‚ not being able to understand how you failed a spelling test or being so troubled with math questions was really frustrating. No matter how you explain any sort of reasoning‚ it’s always the same look of confusion or disappointment

I have an uncanny ability to read people; I had a good feeling about this guy. He called two days before Memorial Day and ordered a silk cemetery piece for his mother and one for his father. Not too unusual‚ since my sister and I owned a small flower shop in our hometown and it is common for out-of-state customers to have us deliver their orders to graves they are not able to visit. The fact one piece was to be delivered 25 miles away‚ wasn’t a request we had every day. His mother was buried in

Khadijah Williams Everyone has their problems‚ some maybe silly as others are difficult in many ways. Khadijah went through something that kids normally don’t go through it never get to experience in first hand view. She went through poverty and homelessness. Khadijah never had the opportunity to ride a hoverboard or have a Iphone at an early age‚ like kids do now and day‚ and she never had Nikes or Jordans or Converse. She grew up in skid row with her mother and her little sister‚ she had other

So‚ shoutout to Crystalwolf101‚ Snow Fire‚ and White Horse! The tomato was first used for food in Mexico and first grown for food in Central/South America. I know‚ I haven’t been updating lately‚ but sorry‚ I cut my finger with a saw‚ so it hurt to type on anything that wasn’t a phone‚ and I got stung by a pesky mosquito on my eyelid‚ and that was swollen. These might all sound like excuses‚ so sorry about that‚ so I wrote a slightly longer chapter. Warning: Violence and deaths‚ probably in the

Fishing out of the keys‚ it was almost impossible to come back empty handed. Most of the time we would come back with a bloody boat and a cooler full of fish that my dad would need to filet right there on the dock. “Jeremy get the front lines.” “ Jeremy go wash these off.” “Jeremy this‚ Jeremy that.” I love to go fishing but I don’t really like the constant requests my dad makes nor how long it takes to catch a damn fish. Fishing is something that my dad and I can do together and even after I

“TIMEOUT!” It all came down to this. The seniors had been honored‚ tears were shed‚ and the fans were ecstatic! Our district rival‚ St. John of Plaquemine had the ball with just over two seconds on the clock. Our small forward‚ Dustin Blanchard‚ who also happened to be one of the two seniors honored that night‚ just drained what everyone had thought to be the game-winning lay-up. The noise was deafening as St. John’s Hayden Heminway stood to throw in what had to be a full court pass‚ a prayer to

You would think living in the Pacific Northwest‚ having to succumb to a harsh cold winter snow would be a norm. Well it’s not‚ and unfortunately snow is something of a blessing and more often than not‚ typically short lived when it does appear. Winter break of 2015 was no exception‚ I hadn’t done anything all break and my parents wanted to go out and do something before everybody was forced to go back to work and school. We had planned to go out sledding with some family friends up on Larch Mountain

Have you ever had a feeling that you were meant to do something ? That you couldn’t have been made for any other purpose in this world... For me ‚ that was cheerleading. It was my second year at rochester and I had been in dance but quit when school came around. I felt a little out of place‚ or maybe more than a little but my cousins went there so I had someone at least. My mom had talked to my aunt and she said that Courtney was starting cheer and I could be on the older girls team as well
