“You know jungle juice,” Adil said, after not getting a reaction out of Michael. “They get a large container and fill it with some cheap juice or fruit punch, then pour a bottle of this stuff in it. Gets the whole room lit up for like twenty bucks. It’s the only way people can handle this stuff.” Michael picked up the bottle and spun off the cap. He then took a long belt from it with not so much as even flinching. “Whoa,” Adil said, astonished. “I guess a big guy like you does need to water it…

give that up she said,” Hopefully she can change her venomous greed and envy with my help, because if not LLEH World will hold her soul. I remember seeing her once in my past too, on my travels through the northern cities of massachusetts before I died and became the reaper, she was six at the time galloping through the gravel like an invisible horse carried her, so innocent, and kind.

“I’m not good at stories, Pidge. Why do you need one?” “Because I’m having the anxiety of a lifetime for the testing we have tomorrow.” “You’re smart, you’ll do fine. Go to sleep.” “Ah, come on Hunk, bore me with one of your stories!” Hunk signed, plugging in his lava lamp for extra light, “Alright, fine. Uh, the story takes place in New Orleans, 1930.” “No, no, no! Do the flapper days of the 1920’s!” “Okay, okay! New Orleans, in the 1920’s. With a man named Keith, who is in his early twenties,…

Stepheny Saavedra Anthropology 340 Dec. 1, 2016 “The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down” is one of the many cases that exemplify the barriers and obstacles people from distinct cultures encounter due to their ethnocentrism and lack of cultural relativism. After escaping to the U.S., a place completely different from what they called home, the Lees had to adapt and place their trust on strangers (to save their daughter) who viewed a condition with spiritual origin to the Hmong as a…

Madame Moreau explains (in French), "Today is a new module and I want to you learn how to converse in French. I have been hearing a lot of English but starting now, if I hear any English being spoken you would have to sit by yourself." All the slackers of the class knew that sitting alone would mean that they would be mentored by the other above average students. Alyssia as always came…

Parental Licensing, Necessary or Inconvenient? What would you do if you figured out that one of your best friends parents had been thrown in jail for robbing an international bank? You probably wouldn’t want them around you, or your future kids, so why should they have their own kids? Those are the kind of questions you get when people who do some crazy things like procreate.
