Cloud Gate

It was 4:07 on a beautiful fall day in October. The trees were covered with their fiery orange yellow and red leaves. Every color foliage offered was upon this road. This road was my favorite road, I walk this road every day, winter, summer, spring, and best of all fall. I have many memories on this old dirt road, my first bike ride, where I first drove a car and where I got married. Whenever I walk this road it brings back the old memories.

I saw many more pink houses, Ariana Fans, and some of her dogs. We walked in a narrow, brick path lined with lavender. We came to a large gate around the large, pink sphere. She whispered,"I.....I have to go. You probably should too." She darted away from the gate as fast as the could. I picked up my pride and pressed forward. The gate had a little brown box to the side. It had a space where you could put in a code. I tried many codes but none seemed to work. An alarm went off and…

Mouth grasped open, trepidation creeps in, eyes bugged huge, and a feeling of increasing dread is what is felt as you read along.

the best coffee ice cream I have ever tasted. It was as if the beans had been roasted right before the making of the ice cream. After I finished my magical beverage, we continued on our trip. Finally, we reached our hotel, the beds were fluffy like clouds and the pillows were like they were made for my head. After we arrived we crawled into our rooms to rest for the night for we had a exponential day ahead of us. When we awoke that morning we gathered in my fathers room to discuss the days…

Trojans prepare to attack the Achaeans, Hector issued orders and is seen as god-like amongst the other Trojan men as, “Hector carried his shield, an even perfect circle. As some ominous star now suddenly appears, shining through the clouds and then disappears again into the cloud cover, that’s how Hector looked, as he showed up in the, then in the rear, issuing orders.

Lightning could be seen in the distance zapping at the ground. I made my horse go faster so we could get to Bree sooner. It was about twenty miles away from where we were. After a loud clap of thunder shook the ground, rain started…

“Jacob?” a quite, petite voice said. The white light was streaming in through my eyelids. My eyes opened, to see the bluest sky I had ever seen. Clouds floated in the air so beautifully, almost as if they were dancers on stage. As oxygen flooded into my lungs, I instantly felt rejuvenated and healed in places I didn’t even know was broken. I was laying in a field of grass, completely content with where I was. The grass was soft, almost as soft as a pillow. I was on a slight hill, with shade…
