One child in particular was happy, he had straight A’s, he got a new video game, and his birthday was today, his name is Chris. Chris is 11 years old, he is average height for his age, he has striking blue eyes, and loves to play sports as well as video games. As the kids stroll towards home, clouds abruptly enter.

The exception with these pens, is that they weren’t your everyday dollar tree pens, they were pens with power exceeding that of superman’s, but the children wouldn’t know this for another day yet.

The next day was Saturday, when kids just chilled, had fun, and conversed with each other. Every kid in town had the ‘mysterious’ pens so they weren’t brag worthy, but still some people claimed that the pens glowed when put next to each other. There was one exception to the pens, Chris had a pencil. Chris, being the humble person that he is, doesn’t say anything about having a pencil while everyone had a pen. That Saturday, while Chris was writing with his pencil, his friend Laura came up to talk with him about the pens. Laura had chocolate brown eyes and blondish colored

    I stand in the stationary section of Walmart looking at journals. The shelves tower over me as I take in the possibilities that await for me on this quest.

My eyes rake across each package until I come across the one that I know is the most powerful tool the world has to offer.…

    I walked briskly on a summer morning on the sidewalk to my college campus, Yale! I had been accepted in the middle of my Canby high school days because of my excellent grades, leadership skills, and my confidence in speeches.

Ever since 5th grade, she has taken my ideas into her projects, wowing the teachers and getting perfect grades. One time in middle school I caught her fumbling through my locker searching through my binder to find my lab notes during lunch.…

    At my birth, I received a gift from the devil. Since I didn’t give a damn about anything other than my pacifier, I had no idea about my hair color, my jaundiced skin, or the UV light over me to try to get rid of the extra bilirubin in my blood. How would I know that my mom would have met someone with the rarest blood type in the world, one that would cause me to destroy my own blood cells and release their contents into my veins? The yellow color would soon go away forever, only memorialized by all the photographs taken by my proud parents. “Why do you look so yellow?” said my best friend Garret when I showed him my baby shots.…

All have had an afterschool snack and have settled into the family living room with their laptops, phones and tablets.
