Did You See Me Coming?

It’s late at night, fifty degrees outside. The sharp, crisp air attacks my face while I walk. My hands slowly lose their sense of touch with every passing minute. The only thing I can see is my breath, offset by the dimly lit lights on the cold, gray cement. The only thing I can feel is the heat generated by my sweat as I tread up the steep hill, but that is all I feel. At least, all I feel physically. On the inside, there is a lot going through my mind. I grab my keys and head out the door with

The couples were spinning in their lavish dance illuminated by the soft glow of the strung lanterns during the unknown last quiet moments of peace before everything was thrown into chaos. Thunder-like crashes and the scream of an antagonized soul filled the still moments from mere seconds before. Chaotic screams and frantic callings of loved ones names rang through the lost silence. People needing assurance that their loved ones were alright, to know that misery hadn’t come into their lives again

Wouldn’t you feel terrible if your teacher said that you hadn 't performed well after competing in the final round for one of the biggest ballet competitions in the world? Yeah, me too! Well, that’s exactly what happened to me and my friends along with some other insane situations. You know what all of our problems were caused by that day? MY TEACHER! Let me tell you how this all started. When we arrived at the Skirball Center we checked in and were escorted to a cramped studio where the rest of

Backh woke up on the first day of school he was going into the ninth grade and he was very excited, It was the year 10,000 BC and he lived somewhere in Europe. He went outside to check the temperature and it was pretty chilly so he went back upstairs to pick out his outfit. He was looking through all his furs and choose to wear his new woolly mammoth fur that he had gotten going school hunting the day before. So he went downstairs and ate his pterodactyl steak before going to school that his mom

get me into trouble. Not only that, but she tends to make up a million different lies to make her story even juicer and have my mom thinking I am an awful teenager. My first instinct was to lie and I blurted out “A shirt with daises on it.” I knew at that second she already knew what I wore and tried to play it cool by continuing, “Just kidding, I wore a shirt with roses, why?” Then my mom made a face and looked like she was confused as to why I told her the truth. She then yelled, “Show me, now

highwaymen. And although he had since grown up, to find such treasure in his adulthood went beyond his wildest dreams. A thud to his right brought him back to the present. Alexander dropped to the floor then held out his shaking hands. ‘L..l..l..look at me. I’m all fingers and thumbs.’ Meanwhile, Doctor Melilot raised the crowbar, and with one fell swoop he brought it down on at box. Crack! And when he lifted the lid, Alexander turned red. But not with embarrassment. No, his face turned red because it

verses on paper. Rather, they should be displayed on a wall with vivid colors for the world to see. As one sits down to read Bryant, I’m sure they were in as much surprise as we were. His descriptions so vivid, his personification so lifelike, we fell in love. Bryant did not just explore nature; he embodied it. As one would notice, he often pulled a bunch of themes, such as romantic themes, from nature. If you need an example, we suggest glancing over “Thanatopsis.” “Communion with her visible forms

It was a cold and rainy November night. I can almost hear the sound of my bulky rain boots running on the wet road. My friends, Danny, Haley, Carl, Adam, and I were walking up and down the road with each other like we did every Saturday night. My best friend Haley lived right down the street from the boys, so we would always spend time together on nights like these. We all knew the neighborhood like the back of our hands. Except for carl, it was his first time experiencing what we liked to

should’ve warned us to take a deep breath. Close our eyes. Then again, the holograms should’ve done a lot of things. Like told the truth. Travelling through a vertex is like being dragged underwater through blinding ice. The mask of the universe suffocates me, ignoring that I’m a human being who needs oxygen and heat to survive. I have one thought as I’m pulled through a blanket of frozen light: This. Is. Death. My body fights with my mind as my muscles and lungs scream, Go back. Please, please go back

time, I did not wake up to the smell of soup lingering in the air but the horrible smell of sewage and trash. I jolted up until I felt a hand on my shoulder. “Okay. Tell me exactly what you saw. You were literally twitching and screaming in your sleep!” Devin declared, “Your screams were so loud, you woke up Hayden!” I explained everything I had seen, the scenes, and in most detail, the encounter between The hooded figure, and The Rule Guards. Devin just groaned. “So, you are telling me that now
