On May 9th, 2014, ALS took the life of my grandma, Nancy May, or as we would call her “Granny.” ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a horrible disease that slowly killed her through the nervous system by weakening muscles and affecting her physical function. In the month of March, 2012 she found out she was diagnosed with ALS, which happened to be one of the worst days ever for me. Even though she was battling with a disease she knew she would not win, she still managed to care for us. A…

Wind bustled through the branches of the trees, making the leaves howl in their symphony. Walking along the gravel path in the woods makes you realize how intricate the clash between weather and nature can be. Two natural forces both in harmony and constantly fighting. The rain was going to come down any second; it’s distinct smell was filling the air. Plush, intertwining clouds pushed their grey front towards where I stood. The trees continued their protest against the wind as it blew their…

Several men that hung around Doc‘s house after seeing the big Indian carry Charity inside, stepped up and told Jeremiah that the Sheriff, Mr. Reed, and several others were conducting a search of the outbuildings and storerooms around town, looking for Jane Reed; saying she was still missing. Someone voiced their opinion that she had run off with a boy. “We know she's missing,” Jeremiah grumbled, “We might know where to find her. Y'all help us find the Sheriff!” Doctor Lane was staring at…

Hero’s Journey CALL TO ACTION Blip. Blip. Buzz. Text messages one after another came on Asian Name’s iPhone screen. They read, “Where are you? We’re waiting! Don’t forget the vodka! You promised to bring it.” Instead of hurrying out the door, she slowly walked toward her dresser and stared at herself in mirror. Her narrow, oblong face with prominent cheekbones and that small cleft chin were so abhorrent. Her slit-like eyes were mere dabs of royal blue that sat below her excessively thick, dark,…

Fuck. He was gone again, and it was getting to be too much, these separations. It had always been like this for them, and being fiercely independent she had always been able to shrug it off and keep busy until his return. However, lately she 'd been growing increasingly needy for him. Frowning, she hugged her arms around herself as she snuggled into their bed and thought about how their relationship had progressed. They had started off as friends, both enjoying joking and teasing each other.…

The yelling and the screaming these imbeciles do in this damn place is just so agitating! It’s all because the pastor makes a reference to the bad in this world. To me, it’s just pointless. My grandma loves it though. She’s a southern woman with strong beliefs and seems to think God has something to do with everything. Oh yea, I almost forgot. This dreaded place I’m referring to is church. What really sets me off about church is that it’s basically just a big fake that makes you give the church…

It was just another day in Germany with my family and I. We were eating lunch one day and we received a telegraph from my boss, Hitler. The telegraph said top secret and contained information that could destroy the world. Hitler wanted me and a few other soldiers to work separately from him and the army and become secret service men. So, I left the dinner table and told “ The Crew” to meet at a diner in town. We meet up to discuss how we are going to get the weapon. I read from the telegraph in…

The rabbit stares me. It stares into my eyes as I collapse to the floor, back against the wall. Sweat runs down my body, from the damp hair plastered to my forehead to my aching ribs. My breathing is ragged and my white shirt sticks to my skin, wet and uncomfortably warm. The rabbit tilts its head from across the rectangular practice room, eyes boring into mine with mischievous curiosity. Its white fur shimmers as it grabs the left side of its scarlet blazer, pulling out a pocket watch. It…

What were your overall results for this questionnaire? After taking this questionnaire and basing it off my sister and mom I found that with my sister I have an equal low/high tendency to pursue and a low tendency to withdraw with my mom I found that I have a low tendency to pursue and a low tendency to withdraw. I wasn’t that surprised by the results as I am well aware of how I act in conflict with both of them, but it was interesting to think about each question and ask myself if I was…
