2008 NFL season

Chapter One At eight o’clock sharp Monday morning the phone’s trill cut into Jennifer’s dark thoughts about her business. She glimpsed the long-distance number, probably a misdial or telemarketer. Then again, it could be a potential tenant, someone coming to Oklahoma City for an extended stay. She’d told herself to face reality and stop hoping for prospects, but her heart remained defiant. Her professional tone disguised her excitement. “Hello, Alcove management. This is Jennifer.” “Good…

Dearest darling June, My dearest June; I miss you. Never did I imagine myself in such pain; a pain whose only remedy is you—to be with you. I know I said the same thing as last time, but that’s because I truly mean it. I have tried everything to convince myself that I'll be fine without you, but as I learn to live with this loneliness in my heart, a loneliness I never experience, I ask myself if I'll managed to survive without you because I have realized that without you I'm nobody. It kills me…

“Come on, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go,” Naomi yelled excitedly to her friend Jayden. “I really want to go on walk to see the stars!” Jayden sluggishly walked down the steps of their new house and said yes. The two girls were off in a hurry. Naomi and Jayden have never been around Screamer, Alabama before because they just moved there to have a fresh start. Anyone who has ever lived or passed through this town has said the people are nice, and it is also a very friendly, warm-felt community.…

The final bell rang and like always everyone hurried to the door; the hallways instantly became flooded with teenagers; heading towards their locker, talking to their friends, or just simply flirting with their crush. Teens running towards their lockers and teaches trying to keep order. And people shouting across the hallway just so they can talk to their friend, when they could just as easily take a few steps and get to them. Loud and juvenile that’s what high school is, but I would not partake…

I was walking with my friend to class when it happen. Before it happened, I noticed that I had seen no teachers or adults for that matter in the halls. When it happened, there was the sound of a large crash and the whole building shook like there was huge earthquake just under Badger. What happened? At first, I had no idea what happened until I looked out the window then I saw it. A huge glass dome had covered the entire school. Floods of students like moths to light ran outside to see what had…

When I was about nine years old, my family was debating about going to Cedar Point the upcoming weekend. I hadn't rode many roller coasters in my life at that time because I was only nine. Of course, trying to be manly, I totally agreed with their decision. My parents told me how big the roller coasters are, and how the roller coasters are some of the biggest in the world. I acted like I wasn't scared, and was talking about how I didn't care about the size of the roller coasters. When that…

Describe the experience I decided to visit the Hindu Temple on Lackman Road in Shawnee, Ks. My first impression of the temple is that it was clean and well kept. In fact, there were people painting the entry gate as I drove in. As I walked up to the front entrance, I noticed that the sidewalk has many different, colorful patterns. In short, the place seemed inviting. Once inside the door, my first sense to be overpowered was the smell…incense and lots of it. I located the lobby sign to…

In a single lifetime, there are several paths that rise upon action. Every step, every turn can take you off course. It can change the path that you wanted to follow. We’ve all been lost on a path, we’ve all taken a stroll for a period of time that we wished would disintegrate from everyone’s memory. No matter what happens, no matter the length, I believe that the right path is still waiting to be travelled down. It may take months, most likely years, but everyone will step on that path. The one…

As of last year I had a very successful season and even qualified to compete at the regional championships. At regionals you compete against not only people from Washington as you’re used to, but people from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Hawaii, Alaska, and Montana, otherwise known as Region 2. Last…

Ouch! I was riding my bike in my neighborhood and I came across a hose. A simple green garden hose used for watering trees and bushes. But to me, It looked dangerous. I rode over lots of hoses before, but this one was bigger. I crazily went to swerve away from the hose, but it was too late. THUMP! I hit the hose and flew up into the air about two feet. “UH OH!” I was as scared as a pig waiting to be slaughtered. My bright orange Riprider handlebars swerved to the side so one side was facing me.…
