The Prescott Ghost?” Sarah scoffed and took another drink. She was starting to feel a little woozy but brave, nonetheless. “Whatcha got to…

Ossineke, Alpena, Michigan. If you use your right hand palm as a map of Michigan, it’s located in the point finger. It has been 2 months away from my arrival, time flew so quickly. The first time I came here, I figured out that I have been pronouncing my city name in the wrong way. The right one is Ossineke(Os-san-nek) ,not like my awkward Indonesia pronunciation with palembangnesse accent. My host family name is Maggie, she is very kind and friendly.Everywhere we go to places in the city;…

Sitting there on the cold metal bleachers with the smell of popcorn in the air, I waited for the moment until he arrived at the game. Sixty-five agonizing days without him had passed and I was ready for our reunion. Five, ten, fifteen interminable minutes pass, and my excitement grew with every second that ticked by. His black, four door Denali pulls into the parking lot and that was the moment my nerves started to kick in. I could feel my blood rushing through my body and my palms started to…

For this reason was that the time we were together, mostly his mother was the one who would be after us making our lives impossible. We met in the park, it all was like love at…

“N-nooo! Please stop this I don’t want any of you to, to die!”, screamed an adolescent male. He soon woke up out of breath and said exhaustedly, “Why, why have I had that same dream three times in a row.” After he said that he felt his face and saw that he was crying, ”Hehe, It looks like I was crying like in the dream, why, why was I crying.” As he said that he started to reluctantly get up outta bed and said, ”Well I might as well start getting ready for school.” As he said that he checked the…

Do you ever see the way you change and it all seems like it is okay until it isn’t? In the middle of my middle school year of 8th grade, I had met some new friends and started hanging out with them. At lunch we were all just laughing and having a good time and everything in life was going great. We all had been eating our food and talking about sports and trucks and what plans we had coming up that evening. As lunch came to and end we all headed to our classes like a normal everyday routine.

Having vacated Mac ‘n hiavelli’s, Russell and Phillip then quickly made their way over to Russell’s transport as fast and furtively as two bank robbers not wanting to draw attention to themselves after the crime. “What the hell was that all about?” Russell demanded. “I’m never going to be able to show my face in there again. And even worse, I only received half a haircut. I’m going to have to go to one of those automated places now.” “You saw it,” Phillip proclaimed. “I know you saw it. You saw…

This has caused Tony to perform poorly in school and makes it difficult to receive proper guardianship. Additionally, it places stress on his life and alters his…
