As the early morning sun begins to rise, my nest is bathed nest is bathed in the warmth of its heavenly yellow glow. I straighten my legs and stretch out my wide grey wings. I look at my neighbouring nests to ensure that they’re all sleeping, then I take off into flight. I love going for a fly every morning and today was no exception. There is just something calming about soaring through the air. There’s the wind rushing past you, tickling all your individual feathers. It is just a wonderful way…

My Junior year of high school, two best friends on my cheerleading team had a falling out and the events between them greatly affected their ability to work together. We were all members of the same stunt group along with another girl who was unaware of the problem. In practice, none of our stunts were working very well because both girls were putting less energy into the lifting me so the other would have to put more into it. I was not aware that they had a falling out, but after being dropped…

“Seriously? That’s it? He can’t say? Really gonna let that slide?” Wallace fought Back Up for the stick they were playing fetch with on the beach. “What do you mean let it slide, we’re strangers, and besides, I want to believe him. I believe him,” She continued with more conviction, “If he has a reason I can’t know… so be it.” Watching Veronica chase the loosed stick, Veronica smoothed wind-blown hair behind her ears. “Besides, he sort of accidentally on-purpose inspired me to start…

(type your memoir here) I didn’t even find out from Jaidan herself. It was at the science field trip in fourth grade when Katie Simons came up to me and said, “I like your outfit, by the way Jaidan is moving to Hong Kong!” That little side note at the end sounded like a joke at first, but I realized she was completely serious when I saw Jaidan out of the corner of my eyes, her shoulders shrugged and mouth pinched. “I was gonna give you a mint!” She exclaimed, elbowing Katie in the side. A mint…

The moment we’re back in the apartment, I’m on my bed with Felix sitting beside me while Thorn fetches some medical supplies. I didn’t even know they had medical supplies. The knife is still in my shoulder and I groan in pain as my back lies against the bed, the blade shifting in between my muscles. My blood has drenched most of my shirt and though the bleeding is now slow, I feel the affections of my blood loss. I’m dizzy and irritable. I want to sleep, but that isn’t a good idea. “You…

Sucker Punch Saturday night started out slow. I was spending more time in the back talking to Angel and Sky than out on the floor. I had gotten a few new outfits with all the money I had made Friday night. “Check this one out,” I held up a hanger with a two-piece white bikini outfit on it. The bra top and the waistband of the thong were covered with red, white, and blue sequins. It came with a matching garter. “Nice. Patriotic,” Angel said. She had gotten a new gown, full length black with…

The purpose of this assignment was to reflect on myself who I was, who I am and who I wish to become. The problem for me is I have never really known much about myself.

This is somewhat true. I know learn different things different ways but the dominant way I learn is Visually. If I put something together I will…

The half-dead man was lying on the stretcher. With the help of constables and people around, he was brought down the building. People had crammed the place, every inch of the stairs was taken up by the neighbors. Even at midnight it seemed that a night out was planned by all at the same time. Lying helplessly on the stretcher, he moved his hands over his body. He knew something was wrong since he never felt anything like that. The pain was getting unbearable with every passing moment. With…
