Jedd: A Short Story

“For the first time on the expedition the vista was primarily sky rather than earth. Herds of puffy cumulus raced beneath the sun, imprinting the landscape with a shifting matrix of shadow and blinding light.”

He slowly got on his knees as tears started to flow from his eyes. She was visibly disgusted at the sight of his crying, sending a powerful kick towards his stomach, causing him to cough up spit. He coughed violently as he held onto his stomach. She looked down at him shaking her head as she pulled him up by his head.

Jonas clutched Gabriel closer to his chest as they rode the sled down the snow covered hill. Snow and rain pounded Jonas' back, while the winds around them threatened to throw them off. The hill seemed to become steeper and the sled picked up speed. As Jonas dared to open his eyes he could see that the lights were becoming brighter, and heard the soft sounds of singing becoming louder. But as the sled got closer, the wind became stronger, and the snow and rain came down harder. Jonas had to use all of his strength to keep the two of them on the sled. He was so close, he could feel the Elsewhere. Jonas' arms ached, but he could not give up now, he had come so far and is he was so close to reaching Elsewhere. But when one incredibly strong gust

Once my dad arrived, we were on our way. I jumped out into the first park that we came to and the fresh new powder exalted me. We then rode over to our friend's cabin to say hello and have a Pepsi. We asked our friend, Bob to come along for the ride and he was delighted to join us. From there we cut across flat lined Twin Lake and then across the untracked Eggleston Lake. To my unpleasant surprise, we approached the lodge, and sleds were buzzing around like crows on road kill. Ten miles down the road I expected to, at least, see some other people riding, but we had the whole mountain to ourselves. We rode from mountain to mountain, crossing open drainages and gigantic playgrounds of snow one after another.

There once was a 13 year old boy named Jonathan who dreamed of becoming a soldier just like his father, cousin, and brother. His father would not let him because he did not want anything bad to happen to him. One day, the tavern bell rang to call all soldiers to come fight in a war. This made Jonathan think that this could be his opportunity to finally become a soldier. When he returned home he told his mother that he was going out to see what the ringing of the tavern bell was for, but he was really going there so he could join the troops. When he arrived, he was recruited by the Corporal to join them in a war against enemy soldiers.

Both of our families went to the ski lift, and everyone filled with joy ready to go ski. We started out easy and went on one of the blue square mountains, but then we stepped it up and went on the second easiest black diamond mountain. That was pretty hard even for me and you could tell Aidan was struggling,

Water, glittering, as the sun throws sparks across the creased, sapphire expanse. Flashes of the lullaby of rising and falling waves through the trees. Golden sands shimmering from across the lake. Our soreness melted as we drove into Windhaven, the group of cabins where our family stays during the weeklong annual family reunion. We got out of the car and breathed in the fresh, lake air laced with nonchalance and the feeling and freedom of summer.

Ethics is vital to philanthropy for nonprofit organizations. Ethics are rooted in the moral behavior of the individuals of organizations entrusted with charitable donations intended for the neediest members of society. If an organization is not trusted to make ethical decisions, it can not only have severe ramifications for the organization itself, but takes money out of the hands of the people it is intended to serve.

I'd like to start this little "journal" off that my friend is making me do with this. I am not a happy story. In no way will this be a great story with a happy ending for me. For whomever may find this one day do not feel sorrow for the person I am. I was created from pity and sorrow. I also do not want you to go off and hold my story in your heart and break down everyday due to you trying to carry my emotional burden. Now, this is the story of Jeremy Dunlead, the story of me. I was born with a what seamed to be a curse on me. My mother died as soon as I came out womb. My father remarried when I was around the age of two. However they didn't last. After they divorced my father became a heavy drinker. He always tried

Unexpectedly, Cousin Linda is on the way coming to see me. Hooray!! What an inspiring word, I missed her to such a point. The moment she ran on to the gateway, quickly, she fed me major embraces and say how you are? The desire we will receive a respectable time like some time lately. The succeeding day we found the opportunity to take in our preferred spots and mouth around the school and companions when Massy, the shepherd waved to us. Circulating around the battlefield, his group with their heads downward, plucking the grass to nourish themselves. Linda expressed: "Massy got hitched now, we should go visit his married woman". That was fresh out of the box new data to me, we walked the separation to the tent, and adult female turned out and

The part of legalization that everyone has a problem with, the cons. And while I myself agree more with legalizing, I will not disagree with the cons of marijuana. The main problem is that marijuana can be addictive. In a research study in California, 1 in every 10 pot users admitted to developing a dependence for the substance overtime. Another danger of the plant, is that second hand smoke can occur, and someone who is not a smoker can end up with the drug in their system from being around a smoker. Even though marijuana helps with certain diseases, it is known to decrease mental health. When you smoke weed, it restrains your blood flow and affects the brain. As well as mental health, physical health is also, in danger.

I gasped for air between sobs. Tears from my wide, moistened eyes streamed unchecked down my pale
