Thoughts like: what’s going on, and what just happened flashed through my mind while I was hanging there, off of the edge of the Boardwalk. I really didn’t understand why I was dangling by one hand and staring at what seemed to be a cement wall about 20 feet ahead. I heard my mother scream something about my name and I instantly remembered what I had been doing before whatever I’m doing now. I look down and see the big fish below me. As a ten year old, many things seem “big”, but these fish…

Five AM and I’m wide awake, I lie still as I listen to the unfamiliar voices as they echo through the thin walls of the distant hotel room and the unfamiliarity of my surroundings floods my body with a mixture of anxiety, excitement and hope, as I begin the journey of my three-month escape. I can’t believe it, I finally made it to London. Everything is simple, but nothing short of thrilling. My hotel is extremely small, but I find it fascinating and appealing. It’s a small narrow, dull brick…

My heart stopped. I gaped at Blake or Loki or whoever he was in utter terror. My hands were clammy, my face soaked in sweat. I opened my mouth to scream, but only a small squeak emerged. I told myself to run, but my feet would not obey, and I stood rooted to the spot. He stormed towards me, a pure malicious grin upon his face, and sneered “shame, I was really starting to like you.” In one fluid motion he had cast his golden scepter aside and grabbed me by the throat.

We made it to the dentist and we were the only one’s there, we were the last patients of the day. Everything was smooth…

Guayabitos is a place that is very familiar to me. It is a beach resort in the west of Mexico that my family used to go to everytime we visited our relatives in Villa Corona. It’s a pretty place with gentle waves, and hot sand, and a lot of people. There are two little islands that you can see from the shore and could be reached via boat (we visited one of the islands once, but it was full of crabs and we weren’t able to get off). I was about seven or eight years old when we went to Guayabitos…

The Barn The sun is just starting to peek over the horizon, casting soft rays of light over the Earth and turning this usually chaos filled place, into a calm haven. Here I can clear my mind and enjoy simply being and breathing. This is an opportunity never able to be seized once the afternoon rush of people start trickling in. There is not a cloud in the sky and a cool breeze rustles the leaves of the trees. I make my way towards the barn to see my horse before I head off to school. The old…

Sometimes, Clover 's kind of a clairvoyant. Okay, not really, but she can just tell that it 'll be a shitty day. She has two tests (one is a presentation, though, but still), she doesn 't have a partner for an upcoming project, and she ate all bits of satisfactory food yesterday. She knows she 'll be a pain in the ass today. She rubs her eyes, rolls out of bed and lands on the floor in a heap of pillows and . . . herself. With a yawn, she stands up and stretches, letting another yawn fill the…

Harrisville is a tiny town that is almost completely dependent on tourism. Harrisville has beautiful, sprawling beaches, a faultless state park, and an up-to-date harbor. However what it seems to be lacking is people. When the recession hit this small, tourist town, its profitable production nearly stopped. Now the harbor is barely utilized by local fishermen. A state park established in 1921, now struggles to fill just half of its 229 campsites. Along with the vast expanse of beaches, the…
