Ever since I was a young Boy Scout‚ I was always the youngest in my troop and seldom had I the opportunity to be the team leader during our annual big gamea two-day competition involving all units‚ from young children to experienced adults‚ preparing for the event. It wasn’t until I was in 10th grade that it was my turn to become the leader of a team. Thus‚ I had great aspirations for this game‚ imagining myself breezing through it all and winning. Despite my excitement‚ all of my hopes were diminished

It takes Vanessa three times to properly close the car door. The first time‚ she’s shaking so violently it barely latches. The second time she slams it‚ then slams it again‚ just to hear the noise. Her clothes‚ and everything else she’s thrown into the backseat‚ shift against the door as she does. Vanessa can still hear her mother’s incoherent yelling in the house‚ her aunt’s placating voice barely heard. She is well aware that her mother doesn’t actually think she’ll do it. Despite the fact that

I stared out into the open sea‚ swallowed by the darkness of night. I looked upon the great body of water that I had worshiped all my life‚ as it became evil. Being a mere twelve years old‚ I couldn’t grasp how a sea could become so punished by the likes of God. I shivered. A gust of wind began blowing my long‚ rugged hair toward the east. I was sitting on the edge of a rocky mountain‚ one that had become my source of solace over the years‚ watching the sea below growl back at my internal anger.

I used all my might to get up‚ trying to escape this appalling place. I’m wanting to survive another day. Hoping you won’t find me here. I needed to stay quiet because if I didn’t it would find me in an instant. The day my brother and I planned to go spelunking‚ I kept telling myself that it won’t be that bad to convince myself that it will be a fun experience. I drove to the cave‚ where I saw two signs and my brother. The first sign said Draflain Cave‚ the second sign said explore at your own risk

It was about four in the afternoon‚ and Mum had just sent my little sister Lillie and I out for a nice stroll before tea. Jauntily‚ we skipped about‚ discovering fascinating‚ minuscule insects every now and then. After walking around for a kilometre‚ we found a well-kept but slightly abandoned field‚ looking much like it was just recently mowed a week ago. Never ending plains of olive-green-grass reached over the horizon‚ and the birds in their singsong voices chirped merrily in their summer’s evening

“ it’s twelve o’clock and I need your attention…” I continued to sing and play my guitar. The recording booth seemed emptier than the Vegas strip at seven in the morning. I’m hoping the producers on the other side will connect with the words I’ve written. “keeping me hopeless until I wake tomorrow…” I tried to hold back the tears as a recall that night I drove off into the endless Vegas sky‚ leaving everything I knew growing up‚ family and long time friends. Up until a few months ago‚ all I knew

Rahel’s Story Sitting by the window‚ Rebecca was lost in thoughts of the past‚ the song playing on the radio had been their song‚ he would play it and she would sing. Those had been the good times. "Rebecca are you packed yet?" her mother yelled from downstairs‚ rudely awakening her from her daydreams. "Nearly finished Mum"‚ was the reply‚ in reality she had hardly begun. She didn’t know what to bring‚ what was important to her and what she would need. It was only for 3 weeks. She put

…My Destinations September 16‚ 2011 Welcome to Iloilo Water Treatment Plant! This was our first destination. I felt very amazed with what I saw for it comprises a very wide sedimentary basin‚ as what people there said. Even though I’m far from the speaker (can’t hear much!)‚ I’ve gained something.
