Desire coming from the flesh of a woman, Jesus Christ is GOD's son.

There I was sitting at the table eating what the nuns like to call food what just looked like to me slop I was sitting with my friend Felix. He came across a carrot and it was a full-size carrot he just sat there and stared at it not even touching it if he did not hurry up and I was going to grab it and eat it.

A few months later, I found myself riding with Halt back to his quaint little cottage nestled in the woods. He was teaching me about animal tracks. As our horses tread against the snow that lay on the ground, I noticed a massive print next to the cottage, and Halt said it was a giant boar. A man was lying in the bushes and came out to claim that he had seen the boar first hand, and that it was a mad and destructive one. Halt told him to go to the castle and tell the Baron to gather a group of men so that we can all go hunt the boar in the morning. The next day, I found myself on horseback on the outside of a circle of warriors, and Horace. If the boar were to escape through our circle, I was to chase it down and finish it off with my bow.

My heart wasn’t with him and it had been this way since the moment he brought me home to his apartment above the garage the day we were wed. I had at this point given up fighting to free myself and sunk deep into my thoughts. Upon remembering the day we met I could recall almost every detail about him; from the twinkle in his eyes to the gleam of his golden watch. There was a gleam of hope which I saw when I looked at him much unlike the strain and exhaustion I see as he lurks in the grey shadows of the garage. Though I detested this awful place, it was not New York I longed to adventure away from, it was him. Him and his oh-so ordinary ways. I wished to live a life of the extravagant and the bold, a life with Tom, a life that was not

Ariana Price is a 19 year old female who lives in Dublin, California along her best friend Ashley Jacobs. Ariana Price is a 5’2 brunette with a slim figure. Ariana loves to travel around the world and prefers not to stay in one place for long periods of time. Ariana prefers the outdoors rather than being locked indoors. Her best friend Ashley is a little different and prefers to stay indoors and does not like traveling as much but she likes to hike when she is in the mood. One day Ashley was feeling like going to Napa, California and thought that Ariana would love it as well. So she brought it to her attention “Hey Ari, I think that since we haven’t gone anywhere in a while I thought that we should go to Napa! You know? The Wine Country.” Ariana thought about it for a while and then finally made up her mind. “Sure why not? I was going to ask you about it anyways and also I found this great place to hike if you are up for it.” said Ariana. Ashley then said in a very happy tone “Yeah, sure I have been wanting to go hiking but never really got the chance to go. “Well hurry up and get dressed we are gonna leave soon! It’s not that far, it is only about an hour away from us” said Ariana. “Ok Ariana, calm down, let me go get ready and then we can go. Oh and what is this hiking place called anyways?” Ariana had forgotten the place so she looked on the internet for popular hiking trails and finally found the park she was looking for. “The park is Skyline Wilderness park and they

“ I knew they could catch up with me. I wasn’t worried so I continued up the path.” Tracy exclaimed. Minutes later, she was getting a call from an unknown number telling her that her kids were wondering where she was at the bottom of the mountain. Clearly embarrassed she regained her kids and started the hike. From high up above it looked like they were hardly moving. All of sudden they all turned

Going through the motions of clearing away the remnants of the failed luncheon, Casey pondered the events of that afternoon. How did it go so wrong when it had started out so pleasantly? The only thing she knew was that she hadn’t been truthful when Fiona had asked if she had seen anything in the house since moving in. With Ray standing there, she wasn’t able to tell Fiona all that she had experienced. Ray would think she was going mad and want to take her back to Macon to see Dr. Cannon.

We had started hiking at seven O’clock in the morning and got to the top at eleven O’clock. Most people hadn’t thought to hike in the morning when it’s cooler. We could tell, or hope, that the heat had gotten to them because some of them were really grumpy. On our way down we ran into the angry Canadian in the shale section. We named her this because she was wearing a Canada. We stopped and talked to them and learned that they had taken a different trail up than we had that had taken much longer. She was not happy it had taken so long. We saw at least twenty more people on the way down but none of them were quite as entertaining as the angry Canadian.

Had we gone the right way? Now, I wasn’t so sure. Making an executive decision, I turned back around, Nat trailing behind. We took the other side of the trail’s divergence, hoping that the path would now be straightforward.

Kate’s family was off again for another annual camping trip; a trip she hadn’t enjoyed since she was a child. Back then they were close and happy but now she had to give up a weekend with her friends to tough it out in the woods. Since she begged not to go that morning they were running late and had to walk up the mountain at a more than average pace. Kate was exhausted so they stopped for a quick break next to a crowd of trees.

The path we took now was mostly goat trails and significantly more rugged. My parents, who were sufficiently into their middle years, compared starkly to Alina and Franchesco. The suburban living had taken a toll on their confidence in the considerably wilder environment and I noticed their feet stumble where our guides had perfect grace. My siblings and I however, still had a sense of nature and felt accustomed to our bodies in the outside world. I became determined then to continue exploring the nature around me and take every opportunity not to fall into the comforts of a stagnant
