“It’s time,” I say to Jack, my voice quivering. I pray that he can’t tell how frightened I am; not for myself, but for him. I must be his strong. “I don’t want to,” he pleads with me. I can tell that he doesn’t want to go into rug, his eyes beg me to change my mind. I don’t respond to him, but instead bring my face as close as I can to his. I breathe in his familiar scent and drink in every detail I can of his face. I’ve seen nothing other than his small features for years, but new details…

I was very excited but very sad at the same time. I was sad because this was the first vacation that I had ever been on before and I was sad that I would have to leave my pets. Driving was the best part because that meant we were getting closer to Florida. But knowing I was 5 at the time I started getting really antsy. When…

I’ve been here for hours. I can feel their eyes on me, their big gray eyes gazing over every inch of my body. I’ve been pretending to be asleep, waiting for morning, for help, something anything. Wait I think I may be getting ahead of my self here. It all started about two days ago. I collect gummy bears. I have ones in every shape, size, flavor and brand from all over the world. Unfortunately, there are still a couple of brands I have not gotten and one flavor. Normally I go on eBay to look for…

In this term project i will be using lime green as my color. The story that I am creating is about a mint lime honey candy is eaten by people (depends on how many page I draw). The person shows an expression with eyes popping and mainly the expression when eating mint flavors. The facial expression of the character is the main, and around might be an aura like include the flying hair or belongings of the character. I am thinking of initially doing a girl eating a mint candy at first. Then I…

This is the story of X, who took the responsibility of her mistake and found a way out. She was a very lazy girl, and therefore, she never did her work on time. On one fine day, all the students of her class were asked to do a research and then write a report on it. They were given a weeks’ time to do that. X thought that 1 week was more than enough and took the assignment for granted. Though she never did her work on time, but she never failed to submit her assignments on the given time, and…

“What nail polish should I use?” 17 year old Camille Belcourt asked her best friend Magnus Bane. “Magnus, did you hear me?” She waved a carrot stick in front of his face. “Hellooo??” “Um, use the dark grey with the purple sparkles over it. Who's that kid over there? Is he new?" “Please don’t tell me you have a new crush.” She put her head in her hand, which was actually very hard considering she was painting her nails. “Which one?” She followed his gaze. “The one with the black hair.” “Uh oh,…

Passion and ambition are the most human of emotions. Dreams separate those who can see where they must go from those who wander aimlessly through life in a simple and intrinsically animal pursuit of living. Without desire, or want humans would never have transcended their anatomy to build amazing skyscrapers, 3 million kilogram rockets and amazing ways of enjoying life.
