    gates in many, many years. A heavy curse lay on the blackened stones of the might fortress, and no living thing dared venture within the crow’s watchful gaze. Jason stepped out of the woods and studied the fearsome fortress, which loomed on a hill, many yards above his head. Jason wore a long dark coat, which barely managed to conceal the hilt of a long sword hanging at his belt. His bright blue eyes shone out from beneath his curly dark hair, and his right hand clutched nervously at the cluster

    Pikes Peak Have you ever looked off a tall cliff? Now Imagine going 30 mile per hour on a bike with curvy roads with huge cliffs on your side with no rails.

    They were on their morning walk through the endless trails and old dirt paths that twisted and turned until you saw no end. The trails were covered with fresh snow stacked upon autumn’s forgotten leaves that were never bothered to be picked up. Walking into the woods, holding his gun with an old torn red flannel tee on, Jason has doubts that this might be his last season. Charlie was already climbing down the hillside, straying off the trails, and hoping of making the first kill to prove his worthiness
