recognizing it as the forest that she used to walk in when she was younger, which was about a mile 's walk from her uncle’s house. Though there were quite a few noticeable differences, the layout was fundamentally the same. Before it had been such a bright place that she was able to visit, to have fun with her brother and relax. The clean, fresh water was now replaced with a dirty, murky looking version. Though it was bizarre, that when looking into the water she could see a perfect reflection…

What Was I Doing I woke up at eight o’clock in the morning like any other day. I got out of the bed and pulled open the curtains to see what a beautiful day it was outside. The sky was crystal blue; the sun was shining, with a slight breeze. I could not have asked for a more perfect day. I went to the kitchen poured a glass of orange juice; and made some bacon, eggs, and toast for breakfast. Before sitting at the table to eat, I opened the window to feel the cool early morning breeze. While…

It's early and I am back on the road again. The next town, or should I say settlement, because I'm not really sure if it qualifies as a town, is Roedtan. It's not long before I get a ride but it is with a farmer and he only takes me about 20km. It's still another 10 to Roedtan and I start walking. It feels like I might be somewhere in the desert.

Bright and warm, the setting sun lit up the romance between the couple. Hand in hand, they walk the edge of the beach, barefoot. Her white sheer knee length dress waved in the wind, tinting orange and red from the sunset. They smell the salty aroma from the clear blue waves that slowly push onto the beach. “Ohh! Look!” He said as he ran a few feet in front of his longtime girlfriend. “What?” She called as she ran towards him. “A seashell.” He smiled as he gingerly placed in her hand. She looked…

not in fact spend all it’s time underwater. We believe that Surgasaurolus spent its time in large bodies of fresh water rather than salt because it more closely resembles current freshwater creatures than saltwater. We assumed that of the time the Surgasaurolus spends on land, most of it is just spent resting. Since the creature’s legs are so thin and long, it is difficult for it to walk or run on land, yet it still needs to come up to land almost daily because the majority of its enemies were…

I was very thirsty, so I tried to stretch my arm out to get a cup of water, but nothing--nothing--moved.
