Nick Logan

days after Christmas. I lost her. She was ninety-eight years old. When she passed away a part of me broke; I cried for days. I wouldn’t eat; I couldn’t sleep. My family thought I was having a nervous breakdown and honestly I was. I had lost the person I turned to when I felt I had nowhere else to go, when I was scared and lost and confused. Losing her made me more scared, lost, and confused than I had ever been before. She was my closest friend and the one person I knew would be there for me no matter what. I came to Utah State University to feel closer to her; I did not know what else to do. I knew this is where she found herself and I latched on to that fact. I chose to live in Valley View Towers because they have the shortest walk to Logan Cemetery where my great-grandmother is buried. I go to her grave once a week and talk to her just like I did when I called. I tell her about everything that is going on. Sometimes it is trivial: “I got a good grade on this exam,” other times it is far more substantial: “I don’t know if I can handle this week.” She was my rock and without her I am on the sand hoping the tide doesn’t come in and wash me out to sea. That is how I felt when I finished high school, even when I started college; it is only now beginning to change. During the fall of this year I rushed to join a sorority; my great-grandmother was a Kappa Delta here at Utah State University in the forty’s. All the tales of what her and her sorority sisters used to get up to…

The assailant did not come out of nowhere, rather he walked up to Jack and seemed friendly enough. The aggressor began by asking for directions. Nothing really seemed out of the ordinary for…

In the poem, Out of the Sea, Early by May Swenson, the subject is the love of nature. The speaker tells a story about how beautiful the sun rise is by comparing it to things that have never been imagined before. The speaker however, is a more complex character with different outlooks on the ocean. The way the speaker delivers his tone is through a calm voice, representing the ocean that he or she is conversing about. Based upon the word choice, we can infer that the speaker is a sailor that…

she shook her head. But that was how she was, that was who she was- what had Logan said? The bravest person he knew… Blinking her eyes closed for only seconds, Veronica took comfort in those words for only a few moments. She definitely feel brave- she hadn’t felt brave when Aaron Echolls had a gun on her, and she didn’t feel brave hiding from her dad. The bravest person in her life was her dad, and with a weak sob Veronica opened her eyes again, to see Logan back from the bathroom, leaning…

The man and the band that no knows anything about. If they do know something they are never quite sure if it’s true. Nick Blinko is a British outsider artist, schizophrenic, and lead singer and guitar player in the experimental Anarcho-Punk band Rudimentary Peni. Yes that’s “Peni” as in “Penis” Little is known about Rudimentary Peni and even less is known about Blinko. What there is to know is shrouded in mystery and all seems to come from a very small pool of original sources. Pooled here is…
