All the sudden, I feel like a million pounds is pressing on my back. I am surrounded by darkness and suffocating. I go to move my legs and find that I now have what feels like an additional fourteen. This isn't a big deal to me, after all, I do lucid dream often. This is just a dream of course. After squirming my way out of a tight spot, I notice that the darkness is simply the sheets covering my face.I can now breathe better. I can't help but laugh at my stupidity and I often enjoy controlling…

Jimin stood at the front door of the mysterious old man that lived next door and prayed he wouldn't be home. He clutched at the sheet of paper in his hand and held his trembling finger a few inches from the doorbell. "You can do this," he whispered to himself, "It's just for a month." Just as he was about to press the small button, the door opened and a man with grey hair gave Jimin a questioning look. "You've been standing on my porch for the past ten minutes. Did you need…

I was born and raised in Germantown, Tennessee, in other words, I've known nothing but the south. I have never once set foot in the northern territories that stretch outwards in the United States, as my feet stay planted in the soil grounds of the southern borders. While growing up I didn't think much about how much impact the south has had on my lifestyle. However, I have picked up a lot of traits and ideas that have crept up on me during the twenty years of living in the surrounding areas of…

To the woman who passed by me last week: It has taken me a minute to really contemplate on whether or not it was worth it to write to you, to evaluate how I actually completely felt about the entire situation that occurred. I, seven months pregnant and closing in on eight months, walked past you carrying McDonalds. No it was not the healthiest of choice, but as you walked past me you snickered to the two men whom you were walking with, “Really? You’re pregnant and eating McDonald?” I do not know…

Pro Athlete It's the big day for our first game. I wake up around 6 am and get ready for the big day. I go down to the kitchen and grab a protein shake. At around 7 am in the weight room lifting. I go till 9 and then take a quick shower and dress for our three hour practice. We do a ton of drills from three point shots to free throws. Than i stay for another half hour to practice my dribbling to keep up so i will be ready for the game tonight. Its around one when i get home and i take another…

I had never seen a ghost. But like they say, there is a first time for everything. It was a class field trip to the Alamo. I’ve always heard rumors that there have been ghost sightings there, but I didn’t believe it. I don’t believe in ghosts because nothing paranormal has happened to me. That day, we all were excited, yet a bit scared to see how things would turn out. As we all walked through the Alamo, our tour guide began to play around with us. In that moment I knew something ghostly would…

Everyone dreams of being an MLB player or an NFL player but many people don’t think of what their goals are when they are younger and in school. What do you want to happen while you’re in school? Get good grades, be great at a sport, or become more spiritual? My goals are to get straight A’s, get under 13 minutes in cross country and become closer to God. My questions are, how am I going to do that? Will I become a better person in the process of these goals? These are ways I think that I…

“Is this just a way for you to go gambling,” I asked. “no, well kind of, we’re going to Las Vegas because we didn’t really do anything special for mystique’s birthday,” my dad said. I couldn’t believe I was actually going somewhere fun for once. “We’re going to the hotel Circus Circus for a little 2 day 1-night vacation,” my dad said. 4 days later I woke up at 7:00 am. My oldest sister came over and we got into the car. When we got on the freeway I said, “we forgot the Capri Suns!” The car ride…

Everyone has pet-peeves. The one thing that just drives them crazy to the point they can't do anything except focus on ignoring it. My biggest pet peeve is lied to. I absolutly hate when people lie to me or withhold the truth from me in any way. Recently, I have had my best friend lie to me multiple times because she was embarrassed or because she didn't want me to get mad. I’ve tried to tell her that I’m going to be less angry if she is honest with me, but she doesn’t listen. As much as it hurt…

The last couple of months have been dreadful. It was filled with exhaustion, boredom, false hope, and above all, plenty of freezing. It all started when we left the steamboat that brought Martin and me all the way from Seattle to the Yukon. The second we placed a foot on the ground, stampedes of other prospectors hurried along the harbor, as every moment that they were ahead of the others bought them a bigger chance in hitting it big in the mines. This is what they believed in the beginning, at…
