After getting out the taxi (which took me an hour to find), I took a deep breath and walked up to the house that hadn't changed at all. When the door to the house opened, I took off my sunglass and looked up at the mother and father couple. "I'm back." Ahh, please don't say anything about how ridiculous I am.

I have always lived by the motto “Heart over height” in every aspect of life, and in every endeavor I encounter.…

    She walked along the winding, worn out trail. The autumn leaves of the willow dance above her head as the cool breath of the evening air tickled her freckled cheeks. She looked up peacefully at the blue sky that waited for night to come, and soaked in the array of colors that overlaid the hilly landscape. About a mile down the stretch, she could see the small lake where her father and her would go fishing. Despite never catching much when she did it was always little pan fish that were enough to satisfy her efforts.…

Finally, I saw an arm holding a stack of books, a leg, another arm, and Emma slipped all the way through the glass. “That was awesome,” she said, setting her books down on a table. “We made it back, and hey, look, your room is perfect, except for the pile of dirty clothes in the corner.”…
