Deluge

My fingers shook like a leaf caught in the breath of winter, sweat stippled my body, the breakfast burrito in my stomach heaved, and with growing anticipation, I sat down in my seat and started my math quiz. All of my life, I had been quiet and reserved. As a baby, I rarely cried, and in elementary school, I was deemed, “the shy kid.” As I progressed through school, my reticence was easily overlooked, but at the end of seventh grade, my parents decided to move.

After Prometheus moulded man from clay Athena breathed life into man.

Before this happened, however, the Mediterranean was a vast desert 3,000 meters deep. Then, about 5.5 million years ago came the deluge. As a result of crustal adjustments and faulting, the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean now connects to the Atlantic, opened, and water cascaded spectacularly back into the Mediterranean.

The environment is tropical, with two seasons choosing the agrarian cycle: the tempestuous season from May to…

incited to perform a comic drama routine custom-made toward politically inclined people. He, nevertheless, does not just ridicule people or the foundation by indicating out imperfections or reprimanding pointless angles.
