Cat's Eye

Small but fearless, scared yet ambitious, young Samantha walked down the alleyway. Not dark but it wasn’t bright either, 4pm wanders. The air conditioner mist from the apartments fogging up the dull walk way, she pushes it out of her face like it’s a hands on substances. A mild shadow appears in front of her, she isn’t in a frightened zone but she is in a contemplation zone, to go back or to stay. “Hi Samantha Everson, it’s me…” says the shadow that is slowly becoming a human appearance.…

She dipped smoothly and spun around and surveyed her reflection in the mirror. She had not seen herself since Miss Muller's basement and the image that was reflected back made her gasp. She stared at her gaunt features and into her sunken dull blue eyes. Her knee-length pleated skirt loosely dangled from her emaciated frame and her stocking sagged. Far below down in the street the door bell rang. Anna sped quickly out of her room and down the steep, twisting staircase and flung open the door.…

to lesions in patient’s eyes is a major obstacle to the treatment. Nanotechnology provides novel opportunities to overcome the limitations of conventional drug delivery systems to reach the back of the eye through fabrication of nanostructures capable of encapsulating and delivering small molecules. This review article summarizes the current ocular drug delivery systems that are associated with development of nanocarriers for treatment of ocular disease in back of the eye. The application…

handing me a package, with an envelope atop it. As I took it, the distinct sound of coins rattling around inside caught my ear. "Do you remember this, David? If you don't, perhaps the name Kopesh will jog your memory? Remember? That prince with the third eye and the saber from India? I should hope you remember him, but more importantly, his instructions. Just in case, I've left an envelope with the full details inside. I already succeeded in my bit, as the color of the object itself will show,…

Rocks slipped under her feet, as she climbed higher and higher. Susan Blake is a thirteen year old black belt in karate, eighth grade student, and a highly trained detective, in her own opinion. She has jet black hair, and tanned olive skin. Her most trusted characteristic is bravery, which always helps her on a job. But today it seems like it is failing her. Suddenly a huge chunk of the rock fell and she was hanging on by just a ledge which was slowly weakening. Susan quickly reached up to a…

Original Paragraph: “It had been so long since she’d done something like this in Rifthold- since she’d crouched on the emerald rooftops and learned what she could about her prey. It was different than when the king had sent her off to Bellhaven or to some lord’s estate. Here, now, in Rifthold, it felt like… It felt like she’d never left. As if she might look over her shoulder and find Sam Cortland crouching behind her. As if she might return at then end of the night not to the glass castle,…

“Look, J!” M exclaims happily. “It’s a fox!” J turns around to look at M. She is pointing to a small creature peeking out from behind a large tree. J frowns, slightly disappointed there are any ordinary creatures like foxes in such an unordinary place. She turns away from the two, going back to the rusted compass in her hands. The fox moves from behind the tree and M gasps, causing J to turn back to the younger girl. Her mouth drops open. It’s no ordinary fox like she’d originally thought. No,…

Persephone straightened her skirt. She was more nervous today than she'd ever been before. Interviewing the Malfoys was a huge task, and to make it easier, she'd decided to interview the youngest member of the family, Draco Malfoy. When Mr. Malfoy came into the room, she stood and shook his hand, and invited him to be seated. So far, he seemed withdrawn and quiet, not the evil mastermind so many seemed to view him as. She decided to just dive in. "Mr. Malfoy, would you mind just telling me a…

Daylight saving is when we spring forward an hour at 2:00 am on Sunday, March 12, and fall back an hour on November 5 (2:00 am). Daylight savings originally began in during WWI in order to reduce the amount of fuel consumed by artificial lighting. It was then removed until WWII. But WWII is long over so why do we still have it? Most people think that it helps with safety, less car accidents if there is daylight at the end of the day. However, this “benefit” only comes at the cost of the loss of…

by stating that one of the three colors that the human eye is sensitive to is the color yellow. However, according to Lilienfeld et al. (2014), the Trichromatic theory actually suggest that the human eye contains specific photoreceptor cells, specifically cones, that are responsible for colored vision and are sensitive to the colors red, green, and blue. Also, the paper incorrectly defines the location of the rods and cones within the eye by stating that these photoreceptor cells surround the…
