Dewas Short Story

We saw a tiny roof on the side of a trailer. We waited under there until the rain died down. I wanted to go home—I really did—but I knew I had promised Phoebe that I wouldn’t run for the hills. The rain died down and we continued walking home.

He told her that in the middle of June they were sent to a place called Gettysburg where they were involved in a large campaign and took part in a battle that took place the first few days of July. He said that in all the campaigns and battles he’d been involved in, Gettysburg was by far the most intense- thousands lost their lives there… He also told her that he and John knew about their father’s death and that he was sorry she had to go through the loss without her entire family around her. He did not want her to worry about him and John; he said that they would make it through. Charity was glad that Charles sounded so positive. She often wondered why she could see some things and not others. Her ability to foresee events close to her had never been keen; however, it seemed that Charles had inherited that ability along with his ability to walk the winds… and, whatever other abilities he had… She would have to ask her grandfather, about this… Realizing just how little she knew of Charles’ abilities caused her a pang of guilt; it had been years since the two of them had had a real heart to heart

The chill of winter air had nudged her from her slumber. Gazing through the window upon the dreary horizon, the blur of gray told Hulga that rain was nearing. Nervously, she backed into the corner away from the window and curled up next to a pile of hay and settled in. Soon after repositioning herself, Hulga heard the consistent patter of rain on the roof of the barn. Her eyes watered as she wondered if her mother had been frantically searching for her.

Crunching rocks filled the girl's ears as she woke up. Allison was unaware that she had ever fallen asleep. She opened her eyes and glanced at her phone, which had stopped playing music about an hour ago, based on the fact that it had reached the end of the playlist. "Wake up honey, we're here," Allison's mother whispered. Allison sat up straight and looked out her window. The sun was shining bright for the first time in ages. Allison suddenly spotted her friends walking their horses to the stables.

Ruby placed her small hand on his shoulder then pulled him into a tight embrace. Eventually, Henry released his younger sister and held her at arm’s length, only then did he notice her own tear stained cheeks and trembling shoulders. He grasped her cotton wrap in an unconscious effort of comfort and readjusted it loosely across her shoulders, patting her protectively before dropping his arms to his side. Ruby reached up and pulled the wrap tightly across her chest and, despite the heat, Henry felt a shiver snake down his

Armed with her best parasol, she left the house after briefly saying goodbye to her extremely distraught father. Their carriage made it’s way to the fair and dropped them at the front, but after less than two hours perusing the grounds, another storm rolled in. The rain came fast and hard, drenching the pair within minutes. They huddled under the scant protection their umbrellas offered while waiting for the coach. Once inside, they giggled and began peeling off their more delicate accessories, gently laying them out while assuring each other the wet would not harm their

She knew his words were false, but she basked in the warmth they had provided someone like her. They were the kindest words she had ever heard from any not tied to Mistress Joan’s brothel. Secretly she placed some hoped that Will’s words were told true, but very little. She looked closely at his battered face and began to imagine how he must have looked before this terrible chastisement took place.

In front of the low horizontal limb of a giant sycamore there is an ash pile made by fires; the limb is worn smooth by men who have sat on it” (2). This portrayal of the river that George and Lennie will eventually arrive at paints the picture of a place that has been visited by various types of people for various types of reasons, but most importantly that those people have left. For example, boys went to the river to swim, less fortunate and often homeless men and women went there to sleep, and other people just went there to relax and sit on the trees. There are traces of these people there exemplified by the fact that ashes from the fire are still there, but the space demonstrates the feeling that the river is a place for brief encounters, but a place for nobody to stay. Thus, To Be in a Rushing River takes place at the river to further encompass the theme of what is temporary.

The water, in her fiery glory, began her journey through the furrows and rivets that the forest floor had bestowed upon itself. Past the river and past the bramble- the water continued to flow. The sky never ceased her crying, only allowing

Charity awoke just before daybreak to the sound of a wolf’s howl. She was use to all sorts of wild critters, but there was something about a wolf's howl, that always gave her an eerie feeling. She peeked out from under the wagon flap, but it was so dark that she couldn't see five feet in front of her. She decided to wait a little while to get up to use the bathroom and make coffee.

Opening her heart, Charity listened with her soul’s ears. One of the singing voices, rose mournfully above all the others. And as she listened, she heard her say, "All the memories I have, they are beautiful within my mind, but they do not feed this hunger, deep inside my soul. "

America possesses many faults; however, this nation also remains very successful. The political system seems more advanced compared to others. This country advocates for freedom and human rights. Unfortunately, the prestige decimates as this past election coincides with a joke, a joke that no one desires to hear and longs to surpass before the memories form. Donald Trump wins the election and citizens question whether Obama possesses the ability to serve another term. Nonetheless, the newly elected President remains the public figure who moves me towards action. Donald Trump encourages my involvement in politics, education of white privilege, and perseverance to defend others.

When dawn broke, he had a clear view of the river, which was a good hundred fifty feet from his back porch doorsteps. Even in the worst of rainy seasons, he 'd never had to worry about the rise of the river; the gentle slope of the land raised the cabin well above flood level. In the nearly thirty years he 'd lived there, river water had never risen high enough to reach the 160-year-old cabin that once housed the overseer of the old Caledonia Plantation.

On Meet the Press with Chuck Todd, Donald Trump was interviewed by Todd, in which different subject were touched. One of the of the points addressed was Trump speech during the Republican Convention. Todd stated that the speech was received with some negatives because it was a little dark. Trump agreed that it was somehow dark, but that it was the only negative from it. Trump went on to say that there is a lot of optimism because he talks about the problems and how he plans to solve them. Trump was also faced with the question regarding his statement “I alone can fix this country”. Trump stated that that he was comparing himself to Clinton and then proceeded to bash her. He went on to say that Clinton record was a disaster and that there are other far more capable candidates that can get the job done, but do not stand a chance to get elected. If these candidates that Trump is taking about are so capable, why do they not stand a chance of getting elected? I feel like Trump always contradict himself.

Mercury is a rocky planet. The surface is heavily cratered like Earth’s moon. Mercury is also covered with boulders and pulverized dust. There is no sign of weather at all, be it clouds or rivers, dust storms or anything. Mercury is geologically dead. Mercury has dorsa, moon-like highlands, montes, planitiae, rupes, and valles. Mercury was heavily bombarded by comets and asteroids. The largest known crater is Caloris Basin with a diameter of 1550km. There are two different types of distinct geographic plains that can be seen on the surface of Mercury. The gently, rolling, hilly plains which are the oldest visible surface on the planet and smooth plains which are widespread flat areas that fill various areas. One feature that is odd would be the rupes, which crisscross the planet’s surface. Rupes are compression folds.
