The day started off early, with a crisp breeze touching my pure, uncovered skin. I detected a hint of warmth that wisped around and hugged me tightly as the sun twirled higher into the cloudless sky. I was meeting up with a couple of friends to explore the seaside. Meredith, Ashley and I were so thrilled to finally go on one last enormous adventure together. We were in the spring break of our senior year and were all heading straight to our colleges when summer started to settle into our new…

The setting of Brother Bear takes place right after the Ice Age in Alaska. Mountains, glaciers, forests, and plains cover the whole scenery. Whereas, after animals and people die, they take the place as spirits in the sky with the Northern Lights. Throughout the story, the mood tends to change. For example, the mood changes from happy to sad in less than a day. Kenai went from happy, to excited, to disappointed, then determined, then to grief in less than twenty minutes. The main moods for the…

At 7:27 on this Sunday morning, the sun is just peaking over the tall pines covering the open field of grass. Just as the rays of sunlight are meeting the ground, a calm breeze soothes the field from one end to the other. At this point there is only one thing missing, the cattle. When the sun is finally on display for all to see, the cows wake and walk with their baby calves to the middle of the field to see what another day holds. Perhaps they wonder what wild animals will come through their…

I looked out over the ocean and all I saw was a brilliant shade of a light sea blue and it took my breath away. I turned to look at Shay and I saw he was watching a little screen to my left. It looked like the topography under the water. “Why don’t we go have some fun?” Shay whispered in my ear and my heart fluttered. Shay and I climbed down from the top and Bender took our place instinctually. “Go change into your bathing suit, babe. Let’s have some fun!” Shay said and started blowing up the…

I’ve always loved the outdoors and the sense of adventure that only nature can bring, which is how one day last summer I ended up ziplining in Tennessee. As I hooked my harness into the final platform and looked over the mountains, I experienced a sense of wonder. All of my problems seemed far away, and I felt invincible while breathing in the clear air that seemed to hold infinite opportunities waiting to be discovered. I didn’t know it then, but I would later be reminded of this moment while…

A bright blue sky hangs over a warm evening day. The smell of trees and fresh cut grass lingers in the air. Dogs run freely around the yard, cats sleep quietly in the shed minding their own business. Chickens roam eating anything they please. The warm summer breeze blows the few leaves that have fallen. A short small dirty blond girl was barefoot jumping on a trampoline. The warm breeze blows through her hair. A couple summers ago during school, Shelby jumped off of a trampoline and her knee…

By the time Briar Rose made her way back to Sara's fortress, the sky was utterly dark but for the light of the stars and the waning moon. The Sea Kingdom was beautiful, there was no doubt about that, and it was a comfort to see a clear night sky again now that most of the magical residue had begun to fade away. Idly, Rose dragged her fingertips along the smooth stone of the outer walls as she walked, not quite ready to go inside just yet. Even though here she was free to come and go as she…

The grass glistened like crystals from the summer morning dew. The sun was rising over the mountains in an elegant fashion, providing light for the world to see. There was a faint hint of a breeze. The trees laid upon the mountain restless. The mountains had jagged edges rocketing to the moon. The view was insurmountable, as the lake below glared with great brilliance showing undiscovered life and happiness. The land remained untouched, with a triumphant glare. This is where I wanted to begin my…

“Adam”, shouted, his friend, “Kepler is under attack, Lord Vector, and his army have surrounded Kepler from all angles”. Adam was confused and shocked. “How did this happen, I was asleep for a couple of hours and this happens!” said Adam confusingly “Sorry sir but I have no idea, it’s like they appeared from thin air”. Adam and his friends quickly rushed to the top of the building to see what was going on. As Adam and his friends reached the top they saw Lord Vector awaiting them. Lord…

The Runners It was December 24, 2256, Caleb looked out of his window at the House, a light gray building that young boys stayed in for 14 years, at the morning sun and dew that had collected on the long grass overnight. He brushed his dirty blonde hair out of his sapphire blue eyes to see that all the boys around him had their light, gray smocks on. Caleb thought, “What a boring place.” He looked out of his small, dirt covered window and saw the short, white buildings that he and his friends…
