Dear Luke, Calum, Michael, and Ashton (AKA 5 seconds of summer), This letter is something I wish I could say to you. But knowing myself, I know I probably won’t ever get the chance. It 's going to end up being a pretty long letter, so bear with me. Before I found out about you guys, I had never cared that much about music. I understood the effort it took to produce it, but I rarely listened to it. The times I did listen to it was usually when I was in the car, or there was nothing better to do.…

Long ago, there was a man by the name of Ahkmenrah. All my life me and my family have been poor farmers that can barely produce enough food for ourselves. Ever since I was a small boy father and me have worked in the field tending to the crops, Mother is in charge of staying home and working in the house. Once me and father came home, she would tend to us and make dinner. When I was a young boy we moved into the city of Babylon to become more successful and to have a better life. Father says…

Who would have known that they end up getting married. Now look at them, Ryan shakes his head. You have no one to blame but yourself. Walking into his empty condo. Jenna was quiet during dinner. Only answering when needed. The kids were excitedly talking about their day. When they got home, Jenna saw the papers Ryan faxed to her. Scanning through the papers quickly. Happy with the proposals. Hoping Mr. Phillips would be too. Surprised that Ryan didn 't put up much of a fight…

Andrew, Yes lad, I was wearing a heavier belt than I was last week. You have taken this belt many times before, but of course your backside is very sore and tender now, so the licks will have come really keen. If we are to get rid of your rebellious nature, you have to feel the belt keener each day, which means that it has to be laid on harder each day to achieve this. As I am a fair man, you will be pleased to know that comparing today vs previous days, I didn't increment as much how hard I…

"I have no use for cowardice pigs in my army!" A gruff voice echoed. Laying the boys lifeless body upon the ground, Arien focused his attention upon the hilltop. "He did not deserve such a fate! You bastard!" Intrigued the King stepped out from behind the wall of thrity or so archers, "And who are you?" he questioned calmly as though nothing had happened. Heart sank, stomach knotted as Arien's angered gaze became one of burning hatred and disdain. "I am Arien! True King of Volsted!" "Ah,…

1. Why do you want to be a Co-Chair? There are many reasons why I want to be a co-Chair. The first reason is that I want to actually meet new people. I think being a co-chair is a great way to meet different or new people that I have not talk to or even meet. Another reason I want to be a co-chair so I can enhance my leadership qualities, so in the future when I have the opportunity to be a leader, I will have had the co-chair to prove that I was a great leader. (Only if I get the chance to…

Returning Memories Does people ever feel like they are lost in the world and they don’t have someone to talk to? Well that is how I felt all my life, I am Heaven. Raised from a broken family since birth. My parents got a divorced after I was born and it caused a catastrophic toll in my life. At first my life seemed alright but eventually it became fake; my smiles covered the pain that existed and my positive attitude was corrupted by depression and negative feelings. One fateful day changed…

Angry red lines. That’s what I called them. I hated them, loathed them. But at the same time, I needed them. I needed the pain, the sight of blood on my wrist. But summer was coming soon. It would be too hot for jumpers and long sleeves, so I was trying to go cold turkey. But it was so hard. So, so hard. Often I found myself holding the blade in my hands. Most of the time, I don’t even mean to. It just sort of, happened. And I hated myself for it. I wanted to stop. I really did. But it was like…

I shove my headphones into my ears and turn up the song I 'm obsessed with, Tainted Love by Marilyn Manson. I light another cigarette then neared off to the park where I can be alone. ~ I push the snow off the bench and plop down. The park is quiet and lonely; no one in sight except for me. I look at the jungle gym and study the frost on the bars. I wish for a damn miracle. I twirl my foot in the snow making an imperfect circle. I switch positions and feel the papers in my back pocket; I take…

In the world that we live in, there is often upsets in our lives and in the lives around us. Being that we are all a part of one society, everything that happens to one society happens to every other society as well. In the article, " The Earth is Cruel", by Leonard Pitts, he goes on to discuss all of the horrible things that occur in Haiti, and how they are still able to stand back up on their feet and move forward with their lives. In this article, I believe that there is one central theme…
