The grey sky offered little light, Elian struggled to see in the dim evening as he cranked the water shaft. Brackish liquid trickled onto his hands. Scrubbing them together, he tried ridding them of all traces of the deep red stain. It clung stubbornly under his nails. Shivering in his thin shirt and wet hair, Elian moved the metal pail next to him under the stream and hurried with his task. The faster he got the night's water home, the better. Giving the handle one last pump, he stood. He'd…

Stay Word Count: 849 Words CRWR 1202 "Stupid is all you are, and stupid is all you'll ever be." These words float around my head for hours, days, weeks after the argument. I can't seem to remember if she actually said these words, or if I've exaggerated the fight in my mind to justify the way I'm feeling. I had loved her, once. Our first kiss was electric: never before had I felt such a connection with another person. I gave her a part of me I can never get back, so willing at the…

The most important thing to ever happen to me is without a doubt the death of my father. That moment in time has, and will, continue to shape my life until the day I die. A lot of people assume I miss him. I don 't. (How horrible does that sound?) It 's not that I don 't like him because I do, I just find it hard to miss someone I never had. I don 't know him, I don 't know if he has a middle name, I don 't know what he liked to do in his spare time, and I don 't even know when his birthday was.…

I was supposed to leave during 5th period to go on the bus for Track and Field prelims, but instead went straight home after school ended. The race was at a late time towards the evening. I thought that I didn't need to go on the bus, because there was so much time I had before my race even started. Plus anyways, my 5th period was a computer class which I was behind on a few of the assignments, so I certainly didn't want to leave that class early. When I got home, I told my dad to drive me…

Nobody could see Versey’s face, but she wasn't impressed by sand. She always had commentary about everything, and she didn't say anything when she stepped off of the Zipper’s ramp onto the sand. She only lifted up her leg, saw the bottom of her white boot attachments, and turned to wait for Tessla and Raidon. “Where is it located?” Raidon asked when they had gathered at the bottom. The black surface on Versey’s face lit up and projected holographic schematics in the middle of the group. “The…

Worth It. She used to be blind. She used to pretend she could see everything so clearly, but truthfully she never realized until it was too late. There was the fighting. They had none of that when it all began. They were happy, when it began. They'd kiss sweetly, send each other signs they were certain no body else could read. Signs which were entitled to them and them alone. Soft smiles, short but tender gazes. They didn't care who noticed, because they knew everyone would think of it as…

Crunch crunch The sound of the leaves beneath of my feet is almost deafening. Crack Branches snapping as I run. The wind howled furiously against my pale,cold skin . Feeling like knives scratching my face slowly and painfully. My legs ached as I forced myself to run faster. I hear Growls and howls from A few miles away. Wolves are chasing me. Well 5 wolves I almost out ran most of them. Well it make sense. I did kill there alpha.....and Luna. I grinned as I replayed the Luna's high…

I have a friend named Logan who I have been friends with since about the third grade. We have been pretty much best friends for that whole time. Out of all my other friends he is the one who I can trust the most. He is the one who has spent the most time doing fun things with me. Like last summer he invited me to go to the Black River. Until he invited me I had no idea what the Black River was. The Black River is a pretty small river in comparison to the Kaskaskia or the Meramec. The river is in…

The Waterslide Linde Kramer My heart was pounding as I raced down the snake-like waterslide. I plunged into the icy water. The line was getting shorter. If I hurried, I could go again and not have to wait very long! A little boy wildly shot out of the slide. He surfaced, gasping for breath. Wow, I didn't know that supposedly innocent waterslide could be so intense for young children! I looked up at the Florida sun. I felt like I was trapped inside an oven whenever I was out of the water. A slow…
