presents due to a lack of money this time of year, or most times of the year, settled for something different. Dad took us kids out into the desert one by one and told each of us to pick out a star in the night sky; we could pick out any star we wanted. I remember staring up at the night sky and being totally astonished seeing all of the twinkling stars and lights and then my father crouched down next to me: “Rich city folks, he’d say, lived in fancy apartments, but their air was so polluted they couldn’t

The fog rolled in thick and heavy, as if the forest itself wished the boy to lose himself and perish in the wilderness. He wandered around unhindered and confident, carrying his stern expression and tight posture perfectly. One would be able to tell immediately that he was accustomed to this forest and could travel through this terrain with ease. "Come out, come out wherever you are..." the boy hummed in a singsong manner. His blue eyes pierced through the mist with untold perception, and his long

Our plan was to walk the whole duration of the sun being up. We had a little less than an hour till it set. We reached a hill that overlooked the city. Bits of wreck were here and there, fires still lit in places, a heap of zombies at the other end of the forest and not far away was the Army Base. "See that?" Matt pointed to the large square block of buildings, electric fences and military equipment. My face lit up knowing we were so close to getting what we wanted. "The Army Base! We should make

The Last Human “BOOM!!” The International Space Station (ISS) shook. My face plummeted against the ice-cold window. In pain, I looked down at earth and it was glowing blood red. Suddenly, the lights began turning off, one by one. First in America, then Australia, then Japan, then Canada, and progressed to what seemed like a global power outage. Then, nuclear bombs started going off, mushroom clouds popped around the globe. Antarctica turned grey. The world was in disaster and it looked like the earth

a sea of sparkling beauty, only comparable to a poem. The meadow is breathtaking this evening, as the sun sets behind the trees in the distance, leaving a glow of pinks, peaches, ambers, and crimsons behind as if a bowl of fruit had exploded in the sky. Every evening, slightly before dusk, I come here to catch a glimpse of the sun going down, and to feel the warmth of the last few rays on my skin before saying goodbye, and welcoming the faithful orb of night. This place makes me feel at home, comfortable

When the sun goes down, I wake up, shrouded from the eyes of everyday and hidden from the gaze of blind hate. When the sun goes down, I can breathe. My lungs filling, loving, holding desperately to the leftover crumbs of yesterday’s sorrow, yesterday’s joy, tears, echos, hearts not broken but shattered, dreams not discarded but miserably abandoned. When the sun goes down, I can live. Crawling through the nooks and crevices, cocooned in a loose fabric bodiless, when no one can see the tainted

a glare of red, the glimpse of a golden crest, zipped across the labyrinthian city above the heads of busy commuters. Suddenly, screams of " What was that?!," rose from the astonished crowd below as they craned their necks up to the cerulean blue sky to catch a glimpse. " It's a bird!" proclaimed one man, " No, it's a plane!" shouted another. However, it was neither a bird nor a plane; it was a valiant symbol for all to see. To them, the symbol was a living beacon of hope, safety, and justice. With

Every early day I take a morning stroll across the neighborhood, it usually feels perfect outside but this time it wasn't. It was cold and I had put on a coat, and I thought I didn't need a coat. While I was walking I thought about where my coat was in my room and I realized that I had left the coat on the hanger in my closet. As soon as I started going farther down the neighborhood snow began to fall, which was no help because I had no coat. By the time I got to the city I was going to head back

from above was granted access to the vast lands covered by the grand trees below. Birds flocked from tree to tree scavenging for anything edible that they could clench their beaks on. Their screams echoed bounced from tree to tree and into the night sky as water slowly leaked from the trees like a faulty tap and made a thud when it slapped the surface. Decaying plants filled the air with a smell that could bring a bear to his knees. A thick mist covered the landscape and could scare away any animal

The air was fresh unlike in the city where he typically was he looked at the trees next to him this entire place looks like something out of a Tarzan movie he thought there were vines hanging from tall trees that seemed to cover the sky, he looked up the black night was littered with stars he had never been able to see them this clearly at home. He took a deep breath almost not noticing when he was in a large clearing
