I was sitting on an old wooden bench. It creaked when you sat down on it and it shook, but there was nothing wrong with it. It was discolored from the long, brutal winter we had and it had graffiti on it from the local gang. People never sat on this bench. There were other benches that were surrounding it, but everyone avoided this one. I never could figure out why they did not sit on it. I mean, sure it creaks and shakes when went you sit on it; and the graffiti is unpleasing to the eye, but…

Life is like big open ocean. An ocean 's tide is almost constantly in motion. Most of the time the big sea is never calm. There 's an occasional storm once in awhile and it almost feels like the ocean could be reckless and somewhat dangerous. But there is the tide of life. The tide has carried me through life 's great adventures and disappointments. In my 15 long years of life I have experienced many different things, some of them happy, some of them sad, and some of them are mixed emotions.…
Going to school is the same as going to prison. On the first day of being in prison, we all meet up in the main hall and the warden gives us instructions. All of the prisoners are divided up into different halls, and we have a designated prison guard. Some prison guards are nice, but usually they are mean. The prisoners that have been here for a long time can get away with more because they suck-up to the warden and the guards. If we do something bad, we go into the isolation room, where we are…
The restless storm roared through the icy dull sky. The emptiness of the night was soon filled with the sound of heavy raindrops, as they splattered fiercely on the pavement. It was slightly peculiar, as the rain never fell to this extent in the summer. I was making my way home from school in the city, with my clothes and blonde hair drenched. My last resort was a dilapidated barn I found refuge in –around ten kilometres away from my home the last of the paint chips from the old barn door…
I awoke on the couch the morning at the lake with a cool breeze coming through the house. The fire place has just about burned out with only a small bed of hot coals remaining from a fire the night before. I watched as they flickered and crackled slowly changing color as they begin to change to ash. Above the fire place is a trophy deer mounted with an old hunting rifle right below it. It was a beautiful head piece which had ten points in total five on each side making it almost a perfect rack.…

Baseball…- a ball game played between two teams of nine on a field with a diamond-shaped circuit of four bases. It is played chiefly in the US, Canada, Latin America, and East Asia. (Dictionary.com) The only thing I’ve ever cared about though, it intrigued me from an extremely young age. Amidst the time when my brother and cousin played this mysterious game outside my grandma's house every other week. I’d sit and watch them throw the white baseball with red laces, outside next to an oak tree in…
A shark does not complain about waking up early and tackling the day. A shark is up early doing shark things reminding everyone why they are a shark. My stomach clenched, I felt his hand squeeze my tender skin. “How many rolls you got there buddy? Enough to make a Pillsbury cake?”. My heart sunk, I could not respond to the older boy who had just embarrassed me in front of dozens of my peers. That night, I went home and cried myself to sleep for the first time in my life. At 5’6” and 208…
Creeping up to the line of scrimmage, as a cornerback, my mind was trying to figure out what the quarterback was going to do with the ball. I got into a defensive stance, into a mid squat, and I was on the balls of my feet with my left leg in front and my right leg right behind my left. My arms were in running form, with my right arm in front. I was waiting for the ball to be snapped. HIKE! The ball was snapped from the center to the quarterback. In front of me were the offensive linemen with…
