I shove my headphones into my ears and turn up the song I 'm obsessed with, Tainted Love by Marilyn Manson. I light another cigarette then neared off to the park where I can be alone. ~ I push the snow off the bench and plop down. The park is quiet and lonely; no one in sight except for me. I look at the jungle gym and study the frost on the bars. I wish for a damn miracle. I twirl my foot in the snow making an imperfect circle. I switch positions and feel the papers in my back pocket; I take…

My Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose was a math grade. What? A math grade? How would a math grade greatly affect someone? Coming from someone who has gotten straight “A’s” in all her classes, a math grade - a low “C” - would probably cause lots of commotion. Friday, one more day until the weekend and my birthday. After first period’s geometry test, I can relax and just patiently wait for Mr. Keem to post the grades tonight. My classmates and I all frantically pulled out our notes and began reviewing…

The ride from Fallborn to Talon’s Hollow is a long one. Today it is made worse by the waves of pain crashing over me. What they did to me in that place was terrible, but a fine excuse for all the people that now lay dead. After I broke free I had to kill nine of them before anyone would talk. I should have asked them why, but I just want to forget the pain. They erased my memories so I knew they could erase the last year of my life. One of them finally told me that they had a facility in…

Keep it on your radar. Be aware of everything around you. Heads up or you might miss all of the fun around you. Look with eyes wide open. Watch for cues from customers. You have to choose to be engaged in your surroundings and not let the day to day create blinders. Don’t let future growth, new ideas, and potential success pass right by while you are looking the other way. Give us an inch and we can turn it into a foot. Little things are what get noticed, especially when things are…

being encouraged on them and everyone is aware of it because they have the confidence and the courage to have their bodies changed for advertisement and other women probably wouldn’t know that their having their bodies transformed until they actually figure it out and discover changes, which could lead for people to sue companies and that would make profit go down for the society. There are more women who wouldn’t stand up for their self-worth than there are who would and that’s a big problem…

This was horrible. A class about monster tracking...great. I pull up on my black silk gloves they were a part of my uniform, along with a black and red plaid skirt, black saddle shoes, white knee high socks, and a white sweater. I hated it, but I had no choice, nobody can know how different I am. “Right class, what do you do when you see a monster,” asked Mrs. Shard in an annoying high-pitched voice that made my ears bleed. I wanted to flinch, but I couldn't for no one heard what I did.…

castle; I know someone who can help us get to Camelot.” We start walking along along the river. I ask Matthew “Why would Chase want to take over Winter Castle if he was just going to let it melt to the ground?” “I don’t know, but my dad is trying to figure it out.” John is walking along with a puzzled look on his face. “Have you figured it out yet, Dad.” “Not yet,” John responds, “but I have a theory. I think that he wanted to destroy the castle to cause distress to Camelot so he could take over…

happy. I know the catalyst that brought about this happiness, but since it changed so much of my life I don’t know what individual change truly is causing my blissful contentment. Either way I do not wish to tie up my happiness and poke and prod it to figure it out. I’d rather just revel in it and experience my peace since I know it can’t last for long. At least not here, not like this. I sit in the long grass as I feel my skin absorbing the sun. The grass prickles my arms and itches, but I don…
