One RIKER OXFORD RAY felt the water rush in. Clear blue broke onto the beach, collecting sand over miles down the peninsula. He laughed. There was nothing to do in the night but watch the stars and ocean and laugh. So he stood on the edge of the pier, feeling the break of the water. His hair was dark, and it glistened in the lights. He was of average height, and gauntly featured. Another explosion of water spread before him, like a plain of crystal. He watched the violent swirls of the ocean…

When the house was built the plumbing had never been fully perfected. In order to rent the house, the landlord made his best…

Imagine the reactions of fans at a tense hockey game when one of the team’s captain just received a penalty with two minutes left of the game. Would opposing fans have a different opinion about how just the call was, even though both saw the situation? Most likely. And while one may think that this difference may only exist for subjective matters, a study conducted on Dartmouth and Princeton students in 1951 proves otherwise.

Callaway wasn't the first to pursue the lost garden. Columbus went inspecting for it in Venezuela. Dr. Livingstone presumed it was in Zambia. John Calvin preached that it lay hidden in Iraq. William Warren, the president of Boston University, took a sabbatical Arctic cruise to confirm its location at the pole.

Peyton stood in the elevator. They were all stuffed. Crowed with security guards, full with suited administrators clutching clipboards, carrying manila folders and cold expressions. The university president’s secretary stood at the front of everyone, her tight brown curls like a helmet ready for war. One of the security guards, Frank, took Peyton’s computer from her hands as they entered and placed it in a brown box. The saccharine scent of cheap perfume permeated the enclosed metal box and…
