The Strawberry Blonde

My therapist likes to ask me questions. He gets one question a session and I know what he’s leading up to – I know what the last question will be. He wants me to trust him first, so I can let the big “secret” fly. They all think I’m lying when I say I can’t remember what happened, but I, honest to God, have no clue what the hell happened that night. So far the questions have been generic. Kind of like questions you’d expect from a student profile your grade school teacher handed out on the first

“Are you sure about this, Opal? We can still change our minds, or rather, you can still change your mind.” “Yes, I’m sure. If you haven’t noticed, we’re starving. We need whatever food he’s got.” “But we’ve never stolen from someone before. For all we know, that guy has some kind of crazy martial arts background. He could probably beat the crap out of us in a second and take our stuff. Then where would we be?” Rocco and Opal are crouched down behind an old, green dumpster in an alley between two

The Most Influential Run Of My Life “Kids made fun of me because I was a slow learner, because I was hyperactive, because of a lot of things. Running gave me confidence.” (Prefontaine) If you could meet any famous person that existed, who would they be? Would meeting this person change your life tremendously? Why would meeting this person be important to you? Maybe you have felt a connection between their life and yours. Out of all the famous people why would you choose this person in particular

about 5 years old when i actually attempted to try the epic sport myself. I stood in the big pale yellow house that was owned by my mother and my over-cranky step-father. It was a really ancient house even though it wasn’t built to long ago. The strawberry-milk colored shutters were creaky when opened, the paint on the outer part of the mansion like structure was peeling rapidly by the day. The indoor part of the house was the most beautiful, starting off with a BIG parlor, that extended into a long

As always, Arindrel found the experience of stepping through a portal to be unpleasant. Unlike her kin, who crossed as easily as if they stepped through a doorway, she felt like nothing so much as a piece of flotsam tossed about by a storm. Her mind refused to let go of where she had been before, melding her sense of two disparate locations until she fell to her knees, her bones turned to jelly. She collapsed on the dirt, trying desperately to steady her spinning vision. To that end she focused

both almost died. I was born on september, 27, 1998 in Paris regional Medical center. I was the biggest baby weighing in at 7lbs. 11oz. 21 inches long. I enjoy listening to my mother telling me about how many curls I had in my hair. My hair was strawberry blonde. I was a cutie! I’m still a cutie. She told me I was born with two birthmarks, a heart shaped birthmark on the back of my head and a brown birthmark on the back of my right arm. When we left the hospital, we went home to an older sister from

The light woke me up. I did not hear anything until the my eyes adjusted to the light. I was lying on my back, staring up at the white sun. Eventually, the white slowly darkened to a magnificent blue sky. I saw fluffy clouds, green trees, and felt the wind on my face. I wondered why I was outside. I did not remember falling asleep outside. I did not remember falling asleep at all… Slowly, I drew my eyes away from the sky and looked to the side and saw twenty or thirty boys surrounding me.

The famous Nicholas Sparks novels “The Notebook” and “The Last Song” are based on non fictional events, while “Rapunzel” is a fictional short story fully based on fairytale. Although these are two different genres, all three pieces share a common story line and even the same themes. The story line, like any princess fairytale or romantic novel involves two people who fall in love but go through many obstacles to be together. However, in the end, they live happily ever after. The two themes that these

After the house was fully finished, my mom wanted to get me signed up for school right away. My education was important to her and she didn't want to waste any time. There were two high schools in Zion. Zion Benton and New-Tech. Zion Benton was where most people went to school here. New-Tech was a small college based establishment that was linked to Zion Benton. Only about 400 students went there (with about 4,000 going to Zion Benton) but you had to get accepted in order to attend New-Tech. I thought

Lust at First Purchase 1 David was embarrassed, scrolling through the Internet pages, looking at various women. He knew he was better than this, but he didn't have a choice. He tried not to think of what he was doing, because it made him feel...dirty, and less than a man. He never thought that he would be this guy. He was a strong, virile man, and he had his whole life ahead of him, or so one would have thought. But he wasn't like any other man. He wasn't even a man, if he were to be honest. But
