Old dusty clothes draped over the old faded grey rickety chair, resting in the corner. The

pitch black wallpaper ridiculed with silver spider webs obscuring the majority of the walls,

with the windowed wall disintegrated from the events of the world. The single bed relaxes

blue duvet, faded from time, neatly made mocking itself and the rest of the room with its

emptiness. The dark wooden bookcase, filled with torn, old half eaten storybooks, half

The leaves stop their dancing and the fluff was no

longer sticking to our fingers. We were dragged into the house as soon as we reached the

bottom, for sustenance, before being sent off onto our quest.

another, and it felt like we were getting nowhere and just walking consistently on the dame

spot. The bright green fluffy texture that use to cover the ground had turned and ugly rotten

brown colour. It was very fortunate that we were wearing foot covering devices otherwise we

more like a mountain, we knew over and we had reached our final destination. Looking upon

our destination from the top of the mountain, it looked just like a castle that was constructed

from the forest. Wooden and damp, from the skies crying the previous night. Smiles that

    The Montrose Precipice I It all went back to the summer of 1932 when tragedy struck; its affect was wide-spread in the community, most of it at least. Little occurred in Montrose, Colorado, but what it lacked excitement, it made up for in character. Stories arose, those about the precipice, the ancient precipice, home to a demon, or so they say.…

    September 11, 2001 was a day that shook America to its core, but to me, it had little meaning. Though, it probably should have. My dad is a pilot for United Airlines and he was piloting a flight on this dreadful day. As if it wasn’t bad enough that he was in the air, he was in the same airspace as the hijackers that took over the first plane to hit the towers.…

    The ray of light from the flashlight casts a luminescent glow on the ground, allowing us to keep a watchful eye on where we are stepping. As we walk, I feel the crunch of breaking thin ice, and the stickiness of the mud under my feet. I smell the crisp, clean aroma of the morning air. We weave our way through the woods trying to avoid puddles of unfrozen water, and logs that are in the way of the trails we have made. Finally, I spot the…
