A month ago I lost my best friend, Itzayana. It’s a day I will never forget. Almost every detail is as fresh as it was the day it happened. It was a Friday I was doing my homework. I remember taking a break and getting in my Facebook account feeling very stressful and nagging to myself, “it is only going to be a few minutes”. I got into Facebook and went directly to my messenger because there were two new messages. I checked the first one and it was my cousin from Mexico asking me if I was okay…

It was 7:05 as Michael got in his white Mercedes and pulled out of the driveway. He turned out of our neighborhood onto the main road and he was gone on his way to work. It was 7:15 and there was a loud bang from Sydney’s room as she ran into the kitchen. “Mom! I’m gonna be late to school! Charley didn’t pick me up this morning, I need a ride or I’m not gonna go!” Sydney screamed angrily from the opposite side of the house. Johnelle got out of her bed sleepily and rushed to the kitchen while…

Cabin Number 15 One day, some construction workers decided to build a campsite for kids close to the graveyard and the fishing lake in the forest.

So after they built the whole camping site for kids, the whole place was a huge hit! With kids 7-15. Two years later... two girls complained that strange things were happening in cabin…

“Yes.” I didn’t want to chance anyone having the time to arrive home and having to introduce Blair. He walked to the door without another word. In the car he remained silent as I led him outside of town to the Crossroads Subdivision. The only conversation was my simple cues to turn right or left. Blair slowed the car to a stop in front of the log house. “Thanks Blair!” I said before stepping from the car. Halfway up the walk the front door opened and Jack appeared. His genuine smile shone…

“Thank you Old Lady Daniels!” I turn to face the faded white picket fence and continue to lightly skip to a rhythm, trying my best to dodge the cracks of the sidewalk leading out of the lady’s house. She sits on the wicker rocking chair on her dull porch that’s coordinates with her dull house which coordinates with this dull atmosphere. Once I start to get close to the road, I turn to face her to offer her a friendly wave. “Goodbye, Gregory. And please don’t call me old lady”, she replies. “Yes…

I chose this question because my dad collects classic cars and I frequently see catalogs that come in the mail that are filled with parts for all sorts of car parts. I know my mom gets on my dad a lot about buying too many parts at a time because they can get very pricey. Why are the parts to pricey? I know that the parts themselves are fairly simple and much less complex than a part you would find for a new car. I assume that car parts are so pricey because the parts simply aren’t made anymore.…
