I would quietly observe the deep blue suffocate the sun, and wonder why things are. I would question why our world came to exist and why the sun would set every day, only to climb back up into the sky. I couldn’t let myself fall back to those lazy days, sitting on…

The warmness of the afternoon mixed with the cool breeze blowing lightly tickled my nose as I swung in a white crochet hammock. I could hear the faint sound of the lapping of the lake on the rocky shore. Bugs chirped to say goodbye to summer and the sun cast across the water making it glimmer. I looked across the water to cherry island which I longed to visit but my mom and dad told me no because it was private. I saw the old boat "patches" resting on the grass near the shore drying.

It was late, there was music blaring from the car’s thumping speakers, and the only lights in sight were those from the headlights illuminating the dark country road. It had been almost three weeks since I had departed from the United States and my family in search of adventure and knowledge.

How does one recall their favorite book? It is different for everyone. For me it all comes down to visualization. Being able to see what is happening in my head during the story either makes or breaks it. I am a visual person who always seems to attempt to see the deeper meaning. In order for an author to catch me is to give me something to work with so that their words create a moving picture. There are few who are able to do this for me but when they do I binge on their writing. Patricia…
