was now broken as well. The precise splinting of *this* break was now more crucial than ever. Greg gathered the sticks and ties from the old splint that lay scattered about. Knowing the pain that would be coming, he put a soft stick between his teeth, and took a slow deep breath. The torture of straightening out the bones began, one bone at a time, and he completely bit through the stick. Once both bones

wonder when the cake will be served, I look back to my house. I continue playing with the sticks that are in front of me. Since I am by myself, I try to stack the sticks on top of one another. Bored, I walk through my yard to see if I recognize anyone. I find a huge stick on the ground, which grabs my attention. I always love clearing out the backyard with sticks so I continue on my way. As I pick up the stick, I swing it around like a sword. I find the perfect spot to start whacking at the weeds,

my famine, which only allowed for my hunger to grow greater than it has ever been. My ravenous self rejoiced when I saw a white takeout bag in her hands. I pounced over to her, only for myself to discover my only hope for sustenance was, mozzarella sticks.

I was only grounded one time in my childhood by him and he spanked me one time when I was a small child. I always felt he was someone I could run to when I needed it and I feel

The Cow Taught Me How “Life is dangerous, that’s what makes it interesting.” - John Twelve Hawks The best thing I ever did for myself was throw a stick at a cow.

The Thing on the Stick What would happen if a group of school boys were stranded on an island, with no adults? What would they do? These are some of the questions posed in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, where a group of British school boys are stranded on a small, deserted island, and where order slowly breaks down into chaos and savagery.
