One day, he and the dog deviated from their normal path and were led to an abandoned church. Thomas decided to stop and sit on the front steps of the old church. He began to cry and prayed that he would one day become healthy again. After regaining his composure, Thomas began inspecting the church's exterior, which was in major disrepair, and he felt that he needed to do something to spruce it up.

About a week later he told he that he was laying down and felt a cold draft like something was breathing down his neck. When he got up to investigate it there was a hand that held him down and before he was going to scream it covered his mouth. He heard someone whisper "Shhhhhhh". And he felt his shirt lift and a hot burning claw scratch his chest and when he tried to struggle it choked him and he passed out and woke up later to a bunch of bloody cuts and burns all on his body. He was basically bathing in his own blood. He ran out of the house and came to mine which was across the street and he told me but told me to never tell anyone.

Thomas gives many examples of his thesis but the one that sticks out the most was on line 8-9, page 2 and stated “One girl who seemed hopelessly out of control turned out to hungry for attention and direction.”

I woke up later when I heard some rattling at the door handle. Panicked, I call out “Ethan, is that you?” As soon as I said that, the rattling stopped and I could hear footsteps in the hallway as the front door slammed open. But there wasn’t anybody there. I screamed as loud as I could and not even two minutes later Ethan was running inside to find me. “What’s wrong?!” He asked looking terrified. “Nothing, just a bad dream I guess.” I said with tears streaming down my cheeks. “That doesn’t explain why the door was open.” He said sternly. I insisted he should go home and he gave me his phone number in case I needed anything. I tried as hard as I could to stay awake, but eventually I succumbed to my

Makayla dropped Lacey off at daycare and then was off to work for the rest of the day. When it was finally time for her to go back home for lunch she wasn't feeling right about the whole thing but she did it anyway. She packed up her office and went home for the two hour lunch that she had every day but little did she know she wasn't returning to work today. When she got home she could feel a presence in her house but she wasn't quite sure what it could be and she didn't know if she wanted to find out, so she walked into the kitchen and started making her lunch. Forgetting the bad feeling she had walking through the door. She sat down to eat her lunch when she heard a loud knock coming from upstairs. She was scared but she reminded herself that it was her house and she shouldn't be scared in her own home. So she walked up the stairs and looked in all of the rooms and checked out every little thing that could have made the noise. She walked back downstairs and now she was very frightened. There was someone in her house and she could feel it so she rushed around trying to find out what it could have been. That's when she saw it...him. There was a big shadow in on the wall and she had no idea who it could be or why they were here bit she did know one thing, they didn't belong here! She walked back into the kitchen to get herself a weapon and tried to walk back up to the space when she was grabbed and

In Woodbridge VA, there are many legends one of the most recent ones are about the killer clowns. I heard this story from my friend while we were walking through the woods. He said there were clown sighting in these woods recently. I asked him more and he told me the story. I didn't believe him at first so, I had to investigate. I wanted to know what the legend is, how the story came to being, and why people still believe it.

His night on the town started with a shitload of beer and a bevy of enticing women as distractions.

When the woman turned to her friend and then began to speak, Bryan caught sight of her ass, so full and round, and he grinned.

A possible theme for Oedipus the King by Sophocles is that one’s blindness can hide the inevitability that is his destiny. Oedipus is in this situation. He struggles to escape his fate: killing his father and marrying his mother and believes he is successful. Sophocles believes that the gpds control one’s destiny and the inevitability that a person will do what is destined despite there hero’s intentions.Oedipus represent the standards of a true tragic hero: he is well known, basically good, his punishment is out of proportion compared to his crime, the audience at some point feels sorrow and pity for him, and Oedipus has a tragic flaw. During the whole story Oedipus thinks that he may be able to change his fate a live life how he wants but he falls to that which is his destiny.For these reason Oedipus is truly an example of a tragic hero and is unable to avoid his tragic fate.
