2005 NBA Draft

It had all started at about three AM. Lace had been one of the main streets of the slums at this time of night the street was alive with the homeless, the drunk and drugged and the all around bad and as usual Lace seemed slightly out of place. Perhaps not as badly though. She had found a jacket a week earlier with a hood and it had kept her mostly safe from both the cold and any watchful eyes. Her reason for being here though was not at all out of place. Hands stuffed in her pockets she quickly…

There once was a man named Julian. He was walking beside the road. He looked around and suddenly stopped by a man in the woods. He was wearing a dress shirt. Julian walked toward the man. "who are you and what are you doing in the woods?". asked Julian. "I need to show you something." said the man. The man pulled out a hairy animal paw. "What is that?" asked the man. "Its called the monkey's paw. " said the man. "Whats so great about some monkey's paw." said man. "Its maid to grant three wishes…

Waking up early in the morning, and then coming to absolute torture! School It’s just hard, and boring! But currently I’m in maths, why does it have to be so hard and boring? Why does Mr. Holland have to give us a test every week? When will we even need to know algebra? Can’t he just stop giving lectures and move on, like hey, we are in 7th grade not college! We are in middle school not COLLEGE! He makes me want to fall asleep… “Hey Alex, wake up it’s time for lunch!” Louis says, he’s the boy…

I plugged my phone into my wireless speaker and turned the volume up, since the horses are out in the field i don’t have to worry about scaring them. A song I didn’t know came on but it had a good beat to I started to dance around doing my own improv. I had taken some dance classes back in boston. “Hey City Boy” I full swing in the middle og my dance when a gruff voice startled me and made me drop the hay the voice laughed “Damn anything’ll scare a city boy won’t it,” he guffawed, he was…

"It’s taken me nearly three hundred years, but I think I figured it out. Although three hundred years had gone by he only looked to be in his thirties. He came around in a swivel chair to the side of his desk, stretched his long arms into a large cardboard box, pulled out the exact skull Azazel gave me, and placed it on his lap. "Let me guess. She must be another one of your girlfriends." Tubal glanced at me. "No my fiancé." Azazel answered. Tubal tipped his head and smiled. "Ah, I see…

Ponyboy was really the first person I could express my opinions to and the first person I could really talk to about how I feel about this stupid social division we have to go by. Even though he doesn’t really understand how we Socs have problems too, I can see that he at least sort of understands- not completely, but just a little… Knowing that he sort of understands is a mixed feeling of relief and just a bit of an absurd feeling as well, I mean, a Soc and a greaser actually having a nice…

Void There are 365 days in a year. There are only 365 days in a year. There will only ever be 365 days in a year. Every time I try to rephrase a sentence it gets progressively more severe; how do I sound less eccentric, how do I tell people what I mean without rambling? I believe that if I get my point across it doesn’t matter in what time frame, if it takes me a year and a half to tell you about the time my dog ran across the road and almost got hit by a car, then it does. No matter how I…

The room was dimly lit, cold, and humid. Krebs leaned against the washing machine covered in years worth of dust. Nadh sat next to him with her hands over her mouth to prevent herself from laughing. “Guys come on, where are you?” called out Chloroplast, “ATP can you tell me where they are?” “Aren’t you the one that said that that’s cheating a few minutes ago?” replied ATP. “Ugh, Fadh, a little help here?” “Sorry, no can do. Don’t make rules in the first place if you aren’t willing to follow them…

I am an independent girl from China. I moved to America two years ago without my parents. I am friendly. I always try my best to help people, because I know how frustrating is it when one is facing difficulty, or sometimes my negligible help will cause one’s success. I am an athlete.
