It Starts With Little Annoyances

Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! There was a knock the door late at night. There was a letter, it was from the manager at the sunny slope apartments. The next morning we opened the letter. It said we were getting evicted. We didn’t know why. But we knew what it meant, we had to move! We were so worried, because we didn’t know where we could move or even worst of all we didn’t know if we were going to have to move a different school. I had been at that school my whole life, and known all of my friends there.

Charlie closes the door and flops on his bed.”God I hate this place.” He thinks. “The sink is leaky, the walls are too thin, and the heater is always being “fixed”. I get home from work late at night and the neighbor above me is always blaring music. I’ve only lived here a few weeks and im already at my wits end. I haven’t bothered to meet any of my neighbors save the one that i am constantly asking to turn down their music.” He looks up at the ceiling and sighs. Thats when he hears a strange noise at first he thinks it must be one of his neighbors televisions but then it gets louder and he recognizes it as the sound of someone crying. He leans his ear against the wall he thinks it coming from. The sounds he hears when he presses his ear to the wall nearly break his heart and he immediately feels the need to comfort, to say something.

Dustin was at home he wanted to see where Jimmy was. Dustin looked at his phone it started ringing. The words read, TORNADO WARNING GET IN YOUR HOUSES,AND TAKE COVER NOW. Dustin’s heart started pounding.”MOM,There’s a tornado.” then he remembered his mom said she would be working late. Dustin grabbed his coat,and put on his shoes and went out the door. It was very windy,and the rain was deafening. He could barely see ten steps in front of him. It looked like the air was polluted. The streets were flooded with water as he could barely walk.Dustin managed to see the alley,he tried to walk to the alley but the water was weighing him down. It was like a river,Dustin tried to stand up but then the water surged and he was rushed downhill with

If you can get through life like this and get away with it, hey, that’s great. But its very, very unpredictable. There’s so many ways you can screw it up. And i'm afraid it might end disastrous soon. Hyung, for yours and ours sake.. we need to interrogate him again, soon." Hoseok spoke. His words were somewhat of an inspiration. Actually, all of them cherished Hoseok. They all knew he was depressed, he grew up underprivileged and in a rough area, he was depressed about not having a soulmate. Jung Hoseok would seem like the last person to say that life was wonderful.

I hurried out to take the pup back to the nest, trying not to cause anymore trouble. I took the pup back to the nest and played with his soft fur with he rested in my lap. Time rushed by, and I spent most of my time in the barn with my brown and white pup. I don't think I could ever thank George or Slim enough for the pup. Slim walked in and he said the pup could get hurt if I pet it more, so I went to the bunkhouse. On my way to the bunkhouse, Carlson and I met up, and we entered the bunkhouse together. I went directly to my bed, I was very tired from all the barley bucking I did today. When I went to the bunkhouse, Curley and every man except George, Candy and me left to see a fight. They believed that Curley’s wife was with Slim, but he was in the barn, and she wasn’t in there. I got up from the bunk, and went to sit with George at the table. George brought up Andy Cushman, haven’t heard that name in a long time, but I remember, “his old lady used to make hotcakes”(56). I got distracted and started drumming out a song I heard not so long ago on the table. I really want to move to our own place an’ live offa the fatta the

It had been dark and overcast the entire day, but as night approached the true intensity of the storm erupted into a light show of lightning and a symphony of thunder. The rain didn’t just fall, rather it blew in sideways in ribbons of cold and icy stinging pellets that tried to cut at Mike and Katie’s exposed cheeks. Mike tilted his head into the wind and clutched his coat collar closed with his left hand while pulling Katie close with his right and heading them both toward the bright sterile lights of the emergency room entrance.

No sounds come from inside the home. Just the twinkling of the stars overhead, and my breaking into someone’s home. Perfect. Nothing unusual here. It’s eight p.m. on a Friday night, and the entire house is pitch black. Hopefully, that means the bastard isn’t home. Nobody goes to bed at eight, right? He has to be out, probably cracking up over the girl dumb enough to lose her family’s heirloom. I heave the window the rest of the way up cringing at its squeal. I go completely still, gulping down breaths to stay quiet. My heart nearly

"Oi, don't do anything yet mate. We need a student. We can get All Mighty with this student, he has to save him."

Armando Harmon lived in a small California town. The town’s name was Arcata. Home to the college of Humboldt State University. This small, college town hugged the pacific ocean with beaches at the bottom of cliffs. Armando worked as the manager of the Best Western Arcata Inn, near a giant, grass field that led to the shore. Armando sat at his desk for hours upon hours each day, waiting for someone to call when he or she had a problem. Of course, this job was extremely monotonous, and did it never change. At least twice an hour and 12 hours per day, some rowdy hotel patron would phone the front desk for some silly reason. Regardless of reason, he hated having to lug himself all the way from one end of the hotel to another, through the long

North Korea is a mystery to the world as is the world a mystery to the citizens of North Korea. One of these “citizens,” the main character of “Escape from Camp 14”, is Shin.

At 11:34 p.m. Marty Wilkins pushed the button for the 24th floor of his apartment elevator. The metal doors slid noiselessly across greased tracks and he walked to the window at end of the muted yellow hallway. He climbed out onto the fire escape, scaled up its ladder, and padded silently across the roof. Marty sat on the knee high retaining wall that bordered the roof, and his feet hung loosely into the nothingness. He liked the way the wind bounced up from the street, bringing with it the smells and sounds of the Friday night.

At an average apartment complex, a broad, sturdy man stood in the stairwell. He wore a brown hoodie and white sneakers. He was known as "Hoodie Ralph". There was another strange man in the stairwell. His face was blurred so no one knew what he looked like. He was known as "The Shadow Man". As they stood in the stairwell, the conversed for a few moments before trailing up the stairs. Ralph waited on the second flight of stairs while "The Shadow Man" continued. The man walked to a brown door and waited a few seconds before signaling Ralph. The two men converse and Ralph ran back to the second flight of stairs. There is no movement in the stairwell. Ralph then bolts to the door and the two men charged into the mysterious room. They destroy the room in a violent manner. Beds are flipped, tables are turned, and items are stolen. "Hoodie Ralph" and "The Shadow Man" had succeeded in a break in of the

SU-HYUK (mid 30s), a prosecutor, locks his wife EUNHEE (mid 30s), his daughter GA-YOON (10), and his son JU-WON(7) inside the house so they cannot leave. He even locks the entrance door from outside, tints the entire window, and blinds each room so no one can see what they’re doing from outside. While the village people get curious about what’s going on, Su-hyuk just tells them his wife and the kids are on travel. However, the villagers are doubtful and watch on what Su-hyuk is doing. Su-hyuk’s family also feels very depressed and even sometimes doubts him, but they maintain a harmonious family, believing him that there is someone outside the house who is trying to harm them. Su-hyuk drives to a old garage to meet a murderer JUNG-GU, who is beaten up, tied to a chair, and resists telling where he hid the dead bodies. Later, Jung-gu escapes from the garage and threatens Su-hyuk and his family.

As Jungkook walked towards the bench to take a seat, he noticed a couple who piqued his attention. The woman in the black dress who was accompanied by a man seemed to be similar to Jihyo’s physique. The woman then turned her head to the guy, making her side profile visible to Jungkook. And as if his intuitions couldn’t get any wrong, it turned out to be really Jihyo.
