2009 NFL Draft

After five days of nervous energy, at last, Malcolm is here in my apartment. I’ve uncorked a bottle of wine and prepared pasta with pecorino cheese and sausage for dinner. I pour two glasses of wine while he talks of how great it felt to drive the coast route. Something he hasn’t done in a while. And that he would have arrived earlier. Except Emese insisted to fix breakfast, and while eating, initiate him into the art of writing a screenplay. After dinner, we walk to the beach. “You seem…

Querlinks Through the eyes of shella These are the journal entries of a 10 year old girl named shella. These entries portray the feelings of this young girl and act as the sole account of what happened to this town. Children play in the streets and dogs bark in the distance as parents leave for work. All is calm and well even though world war three has been going on for five years and the U.S.A is in it. But all is not as it appears. There has been strange happenings. Disappearances. They say…

Demons by Imagine Dragons (Catcher Scene) Verse/ Hook/ Chorus Analysis When the days are cold And the cards all fold And the saints we see Are all made of gold When your dreams all fail And the ones we hail Are the worst of all And the blood's run stale Holden, as this first verse suggests, was dealt a bad hand. He has undergone traumatic events that no child or person should have to endure; he has been molested, has watched someone commit suicide, is addicted to drugs, and watched his little…

“We’re going to have to go through the back, because if a nigga sees you, they’re going to attack you.” I was quiet, my hands were beginning to sweat, and I think I was in need of the bathroom to shit. Once we got to the strip club, my eyes went wild seeing the lights flicker crazy through the floor. Weed and alcohol slaps my nose as they enter my nose making me cringe. Sky seen this. “Don’t worry you’ll get use to the smell after a while.” She grabs my hand interlocking with mine and pulls me…

8:05 A.M., Chris is sprinting his down the hall to English, only to find everyone sitting down, staring at the entrance of the room, and the teacher marking everyone but him present. This would not have happened if Chris’s locker had not jammed when he attempted to open it to put his bag inside. East Jordan Middle High School has an issue with the amount of tardies and absences of students. The way to fix EJMHS’s issue is to rewind it’s ban on bags in classrooms, which would also help with other…

“Steven!” Peridot screams from below, “Steven. Steven Steven.” Peridot says. Steven can hear her slowly walking up the stairs. He realizes Peridot is standing next to his bed, so he opens his eyes and sits up. “What Peridot?” Steven says. “Steven. My screen started beeping and it said: Halo we've?” Peridot says confused. Steven gasps in excitement. He jumps up and grabs his phone off his night stand. He shuffles through the apps and open his calendar. “HALLOWEEN!” Steven yells. “It’s next week…

“Class, what happens when a person is in a coma?” Silence surrounds the room. “Okay, well there are many theories for what happens when people are in comas. One of the most common is that the patient is just in a dream and keeps thinking about different things, good or bad. Another theory is that the patient can still hear everything but just can't move or see. There is even a theory that people have to fight their worst fears while inside their head. Doctors and researchers say, ha,” I shook my…

“Mother had written him that she felt she was dying and wished to see him before she did. It must have been hard for both of them… I remember them sitting in the garden talking before she passed. He was crying. Vera and I were watching from my window. She whispered to me that she would never let anyone hurt me again…” I reached and touched his cheek. I saw that his eyes were misty. “You must have loved your mother very much,” I said softly. “Yes, I did- you are the only person I’ve ever loved…

Despite being exhausted from the day’s events, I didn’t sleep much at Char’s. Not only did I not have my sleeping pills, but my mind was whirling with possibilities of what Aiden and Mason meant by “tomorrow.” Which is today. Meaning something is happening today. And I still don’t know what it is. But I do know that I’d rather have nothing happen. Of course deep down, I really wish I could tear Kaitlyn and Ryan a new one for messing with me, but I can’t. I had all night at Char’s to think…

Don’t Run. Don’t move. Don’t even breathe. It’s what Dean taught you to do if you were ever trapped with a monster. In a locked building, or underground, anywhere that you might be that you couldn’t get out of. “Don’t run, just hide. Sammy and I, we’ll come find you. If you run you’ll make noise, or you could fall, l something could get knocked over and give away exactly where you are. You're better off hiding until you know you’ve got the upper hand.” Dean had given you the same lecture at…
