The agent I met recently said his client “Thinks out of the box.” I would rather that and am keen to meet him. There’s an hour before, so I

I never chose to live in Newark, New Jersey. After I was born, my dad left us, and my mom fell off the wagon we just kinda ended up here. I swear my mom has vodka coursing through her veins instead of blood.

It was around 7 o 'clock p.m. when a group of my friends and I decided that we needed to come together and go out, and what better is there to do in early October than visit a corn maze. After nearly an hour of planning around all ten people 's schedules, we

Essentially, people are able to survive, if they adapt to the world around them. Octavia E. Butler creates this notion in her dystopian novel. In the year of 1993, Octavia E.
