Bow tie

My fingers raced between the motherboard and the back of the case. I guided cables through the case cutouts like a weaver maneuvering threads in a tapestry. The satisfying “click” of plugging in each cable to its spot on the board drove me to completion. Now that everything was plugged in, I had to work on the most painful part: cable management. Remembering what I learned from YouTube, I routed the cables behind the case until they made two distinct paths. The cables were two rivers flowing…

cleanly in order to win. Dressage is another popular English event. It is a lot like Western reining, but more proper, elegant, and dance-like. The horses prance, spin, and canter in a routine put together by the rider to music. The horse may even bow at the end of the performance. Eventing is a combination of show jumping, cross country jumping, and dressage. The rider and their horse compete in each of the three events, and whoever has the smallest number of penalties at the end of the three…

LaToya Ruby Frazier is exhausted. She flew in from Braddock, Pa. to Chicago at the crack of dawn to speak at the Art Institute of Chicago in front of a packed crowd. Today is painless compared to the previous 365 days. She reflects on her weeks in Flint, Mich. where she documented Flint's horrific water crisis. The tragedy in Flint exposed thousands of children to high levels of lead. Back in her hometown of Braddock, Frazier's spent the last month around the clock at the local hospital by her…

children groaned, then the rest of the class agreed. All of a sudden the tour guide turned around. “Your teacher's right.” He agreed, while Veronica looked back at him. The tour guide looks like a very strange man, wearing a tan tweed jacket and red bow tie. “Thank you,” Veronica smiled, looking at his name tag ”The Doctor.” The class continued on, until finally they…

"Yeah watch out for the triangle guy!" "Wait..." A geometrical yellow demon surfaced right before them. "Good morning, everybody! This is the dashing Bill Cipher," He took a moment to adjust his black bow tie accordingly. "Coming to you half dead from the soon-to-be former Mystery shack! How are y'all doin' tonight?" "Gah, it's the triangle, the triangle!" "You leave our Uncle's brain alone yo-" "Ho-hey, hod, it everybody.""Instead of you know, simply…

I'm not dreaming. I'd be screaming by now if I were. The world around me dissolves, bleeding and fragmenting until nothing is left except me and the encroaching dark. I float in the quiet abyss, wondering if this is what death is. The rumors in the After tell a less peaceful description of the time after death. A gust of wind shoves me forward and rips my clothes off and I watch my polo shirt and blue jeans sway behind me, moving with the current of the wind. Shivering, I wrap my arms around my…

Looking back I think to myself and I see some softball players as looking cute while playing and some of which even wear bows at the college level. They then bring up the point that we wear tight uniforms. Well, looking at womens tennis they also were tight uniforms and may I add skirts. In track you see short shorts or tight compression shorts on men and women. So that is…

Rapid deforestation started in the Amazon around the 20th century and has increased through the beginning of the current century. Certain regions of forest has been eradicated for farms, dams, natural resources, and for an expansion of the modern world. Consequently, indigenous tribes are being forced from their lands and brutally harmed. Deforestation in the Amazon causes a decrease…

The outside of the castle with its gargoyles and being surrounded by dead tress made it look like it was owned by Dr. Frankenstein, but the interior looked like something out of an expensive catalogue. The old man bid me farewell, and I started walking away from his castle into an unknown forest overflowing with creatures I couldn't possibly understand. A slight breeze pushed through the forest causing the few remaining leaves that hung to the trees to plummet to the ground. My feet became…
