1.08: A Short Story

Verin watched a group of young soldiers grapple behind the mess tent. He split his time between checking on Fynta and offering pointers when one of the guys showed bad form. So far, comms were still offline to the group that had entered the temple, but Verin didn’t worry. Fynta was impossible to kill, and he had little stake in the others. Granted, he rather liked the Togruta. She’d fought well on Tython.

You see that skinny boy 50 feet on the wall, covered in white powder and shaking, about to fall? “Yeah, that’s me”. The thing is, this is not like any teen story because something horrific is not happening, rather, something special. Something new. Something unexpected. I finally conquered a 5.11. Now, you may be wondering what a 5.11 is and why I have white powder and why I am so high. No, I promise I am not high, well, I am, but on a rock climbing wall in Stone Summit of Kennesaw.

My family didn’t really care if there is a long line as long as we get in there. We went into Adventures since we never have been there. Like usual we won't go searching for a ride so my dad, my 2 sisters, and I went on BigFoot Rapids I knew that there were drops but wasn’t that sure. People were screaming so i thought why would they scream for no reason. Thinking in my mind I’m gonna

“How long do you think it’s going to take us to get to the top?” Ralph asked.

Three days passed before Jingyan took a trip to Su Zhe's residence, following a familiar path to a destination with a wholly different sort of anticipation. He made his visit at night, when there were less watchful eyes and more shadows to hide his trail. When he finally stepped into the courtyard of plum blossoms, he detoured to the pond before entering the still-lit room of the house.

It is a cold, October evening. My house is crazy. There is clothes everywhere, stacks of food for us, and enough Redbox DVDs to last months. My parents have been preparing my siblings and I for this weekend. They write down emergency numbers, not that we would need them, and tell us to maybe give our grandparents a call while they were away. My parents finish packing their suitcases and are now saying their goodbyes to my siblings and I before they leave for California for the weekend. This is the first time we will be left alone without adults. I am so excited. After what seems like an hour of hugging and kissing goodbye, my parents finally leave. I immediately call my friends and they say our plan is on for the weekend. We’ve had this plan

A sudden rush as the drunkard next door plummeted through the drywall that separated us. A swift jerk sat me upright to see him quietly apologise and exit out the front door. I turned around to face the clock. It read ‘3.10.’{...} I picked up my pack of Imperials, lit one and followed the smoke out into the balcony [...] The town looked dead, apart from the working women who gathered at the end of the street. A cold breeze ran along the ground as I pulled out a chair to sit on. My hope began to end as I hurriedly puffed it away, blankly staring through the glass door, passively acknowledging that the walls needed repainting. I put the cigarette out and walked back inside, locked the door, drew the curtains, slipped into bed, pulled the covers

Xion emerged from the dark portal into an alley. 'It's super quiet...' Wasking out of the alley, she found day that the main square outside of the Collisuem was empty. 'Where is everyone?' She wondered.

''What are we going to do?'' Panicked Cisco, helplessly looking in horror the Dominator's ship slowly, but surely going down. ''Can't you use the ship's tracker to keep it away from Earth? Long enough to get inside?'' He quickly inquired to Sara.

“Believe it or not kid, I’ve been looking out for you,” Cide said. Femca shook her head.

“I heard a rumor,” She continued in a slow, almost monotone voice, “Pinkie, if you are using those zebra chems, you need to stop.”

It was an average spring afternoon on April 15, 1989, my Brother John and I had plans to make our way up to Sheffield for the Liverpool match but had a dilemma as to whether to take the tube or drive. “the train will be much faster” He argues, I give in to his argument, eager to start the journey. With the shambolic construction on the M62, we take the train. I was expecting the same as the year before. A victory. The trip was like any other, we arrived at around 2:20 pm. I went to join some Liverpool fans in singing and marching to the stadium as the smell of beer and meat pies filled the air. There were thousands of us, and only seven turnstiles, there was a big crowd all trying to get to the front and the steward on his horse did
