As he surveyed the area, a flash of scarlet-red energy roared past his head. The green-emblem boy dived to the ground, noticing that Alexis had a contemptuous look on her face, as she furiously pursued the boy.

After I closed the book and once the credits started to roll, I felt as if something in my life went missing. I speak for everyone when I say that it’s impossible to walk away from this story without taking something away from it. Audrey Hepburn says that everything she has learned in life, she learned from movies. A quote from Groucho Marx stated that when he read a book, he brought something away from it. Even if he learned a new word or a lesson in life that he could live by, he at least remembered

October 12, 2010. 9:34:42 pm. The lights are dimmed. I am bathing in sweat. The amount of liquid that is slowly finding its way down my face is unbelievable.
