Doom

How I survived the Zombie Apocalypse Waking up to the loud screeching siren and a voice blaring through the speaker of my phone at the crack of dawn wasn’t the best feeling. The Public Service Announcement stated that that there was a zombie apocalypse and it wasn’t a drill. My heart raced.

rendel: A Stereotypical Evil Character? Although from the beginning of Gardner's work Grendel is displayed as the conventional “evil” character--spiteful towards the world, agitated at nature’s innocent creatures, and disfigured in the ugliest way, Grendel is truly not an evil character.

I am writing to thank you for your service to the United States and wish you a happy Veterans Day.
