Decent Essays
I woke up at around 11:00 the next morning, while everybody else still slept. Despite the fact that I was hung over, I've decided to sit down at the kitchen table and re-write some of my short stories from my past, Just because I've deleted my stories from my computer and my flash drive, it doesn't mean that I've forgotten them. I don't know why I started writing again after eight months.I guess it was because it's in my blood.
While I was writing, Chris entered the kitchen.
"How are you feeling?" I asked.
"I feel like I just got hit with a truck," Chris said. "But I'm okay, I guess."
Chris looked at the couch. "I've noticed that Mark isn't sleeping on the couch," he said.

    Pacing back and forth, I pondered how our volleyball fundraiser was going to stay afloat. The council was distraught, unable to acquire more teams, with the tournament in two days. With our advisors and the vice principal leaning towards canceling the event, my council had two choices: get eight more teams to sign up or call off the event.

    There’s a little slice of Heaven in Marshall, Texas, where the sun shines through the pines and the sound of cicadas serenade you throughout your afternoon and the lake shines like a plate of polished silver in the early morning sun. When I first came to Camp Fern, I was on my own. Everyone else had known each other for at least two years, so I was the odd one out. In my cabin there was the usual sort. There was the popular one, the attention seeker, the joker, and the one you love to hate.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    Like most people who share the state of conciousness, I am prone to day dream. I often float away on the soft clouds of my fantasies, drifting high above reality in the vast blue sky. As a writer, these fanciful mental journeys sometimes lead me to imagine what my perfect writing environment would look like. I am not alone in this wistful contemplation; many other authors, painters, and musicians join me in exploring this mental path, each envisioning their own versions of the ideal creative escape. Some yearn for extravagant spaces, like a sprawling historical library, or a high tech office.…

    It didn’t take much to make Michael Jones angry. Most of the time, it was playful anger. The kind of anger when Gavin decided to be an asshole and Michael gave the predictable response. The kind of anger that was here and gone. It showed up during games when he got frustrated too; he would have the flash of intense anger that would die away.…

    My eyes begin to open very slowly, as I had more eye boogers than Donald Trump has money. I can’t seem to focus on anything in the nearly all white room I am in. As I try to rub my eyes, I realize I am tied down to a small, cold, metal table with no sense of where I am. I begin to panic as and attempt to break out of the extremely tight bright orange zip ties and cold metal handcuffs I am locked into. Screaming at the top of my lungs for help, I pissed off who was ever holding me as hostage, as I heard them scream at me to shut up.…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
