    Waking up with a headache from hell, I collect my composure and grab my belongings in a hurry. I have a flight to catch and I can’t be late to the airport. Another all-star weekend in the books. This year? A low level professional basketball ball player. I know, not that impressive. My plan was to meet a superstar, but somehow ended up in this bed. He is still sleeping like a baby. Some women in my shoes would go through his belongings and look for their own payout but that’s not me. I do give…

    Looking up at the clock, I notice the big and small hand touch twelve. Midnight. I rub my forehead while examining my fatigued body. My right palm was perspiring to the point that it was difficult to hold my pencil straight without it slipping out. My eyes twitch with the lack of relaxation. I begin to feel dizzy with the hours of focus I have been putting into the finished product. I finally put away my finished math assignment and ready to crash my head into my fluffy pillow of heaven. But…

    I woke up extra early this morning, because I knew I had to hike down and get water. Once I was up, I got all my stuff ready. As usual I was one of the first people ready. Being a morning person definitely came in handy on this backpacking trip. The leaders told us the plan and we ended up hiking three miles. It was the fastest pace we’ve ever had. We stopped for lunch at Squaw Lake, which was freezing and it was the place where we were supposed to have camped the night before. I was so happy…

    down there holding four tickets to the Super Bowl game tonight and a jet sitting outside in the field. I had slept in a little past what we had planned on leaving by but it didn’t matter too much we still had plenty of time to do what we wanted to. 12:00 pm So we go into the jet to find a 370 inch HDTV, a Xbox One hooked up to it with any games we wanted to play installed on it, a refrigerator with all the food and drinks you can imagine on it, and the most comfortable leather seats you can…

    It was a hot summer morning and the birds were singing along with the chimes blowing in the wind. The clock had just struck 11:00 in the morning and the radio turned on. His hand slid over the alarm to shut it off and slowly get out of bed. After making the forever lasting walk down the hall to the bathroom, Trevor freshened up for the day with a soothing hot shower. As he finished up in the bathroom, he could smell the delightful pancakes and bacon his mother was preparing downstairs. His…

    How did mankind make the timetable to mirror the time inside the diverse societies? Acknowledged frameworks for the division of time into days, months, and years, schedules mirror a human push to quantify and arrange the expanded times without bounds. Researchers partition date-books into three general classes, for example, lunar, sunlight based, and lunisolar relying on whether their worldly divisions are chiefly in view of the developments of the moon or the sun or on a trade off between both.…

    the nearest clothes I could find, slipping on my backpack to rush out the door. I didn’t have the time to put on makeup. In second period, John did a double take at me and said, “Wow, you look tired.” The irony was that I actually slept an extra hour that morning, but to him my natural under eye bags looked like exhaustion. In the moment, I didn’t find his comment that big of a deal, yet since that day I don’t think I’ve ever left the house without wearing concealer—it has become just a part…

    from the London based financial information company taps into the need of people for leisure and calls them to thoughtful action about investments through pathos, logos and irony. The at first glance simple arrangement of a sentence fragment and clock parts creates a competition between money and time to entice adult readers new to the investment world to use the company for financial advice; cultured and expected responses are used in a negative light to engender trust and curiosity about the…

    Dawn broke to an explosion of bird songs, the cacophony starting Booker awake with a disgruntled groan. Unimpressed by the early morning alarm clock, he angrily pulled his pillow over his head and attempted to drown out the noise. However, the humorous fact that the sound easily penetrated through the downy feathers brought a good-natured smile to his lips, and with a resigned sigh, he threw the pillow onto the floor and sat up. From across the room, Tom yawned loudly, a sleepy smile…

    Intro In my world, everyone is born with a timer already implanted on their wrists. No one knows how or why we’re born with it: all we know is that it counts down to the moment you meet your soulmate. It took ages for people to reach this conclusion and still, it has been at the peak of human curiosity for as long as I could remember. The Timer has inspired a generous amount of literature (including many famous ones) and even more conspiracy theories than the universal question of life itself.…
