Freeway

Start:4:39 P.M. 11/17/15 On May 31, I sit on a cheap and uncomfortable chair, straining my neck painfully in hopes of seeing a glimpse of my only brother in his high school graduation gown. I see the blur of a couple hundred teenagers talking excitedly and patting their hairspray-drenched hair. My mother looks at me sadly. “Our little boy is leaving the nest. At least he is graduating, an adult that I need to let go of.” I tense up, anger and annoyance creeping into my body. My mother is…

Cheyenne is freaked out and just wants to be let out of the car. Later, they get to Griffin’s property and Cheyenne stays in the car while Griffin talks to another guy named Roy. By the sound of their…

It’s Superman!” (Quotes 1) This quote from the Adventures of Superman is usually what comes to mind when the word hero is mentioned. Superheroes such as Superman, Batman, and Spiderman have abnormal powers that allow them to be transformed from ordinary men into idols that always succeed in their quest to save the people and the…

From a young age I’ve always had dreams, goals, and things I wanted to accomplish. My very first dream started out at the age of 6 when I saw my best friend’s new golden retriever puppy and I decided right then and there that I just had to have one for myself. It become an obsession. That puppy was the only thing I could talk about, dream about, and I just knew that I couldn’t live my life without it. I would consistently beg my dad for that precious puppy and he would always give me the…

Later Start, Fresh Start Don’t you ever stay up late at night that when it’s time to wake up in the morning you just can’t get up? Late start is your solution.

is terrific. But I could only imagine what happened next. In the corner of my eye, I notice a truck entering a sharp oncoming ramp, traveling at an immense rate of speed. My instincts told me to put my foot on the brake. As the truck entered the freeway, to my astonishment, I noticed the truck leaning all its weight onto one side. My initial thought was that the truck would balance itself out; and, in the same split second, the truck tipped over completely. My…

new and I don’t like that business anyway. I looked up the restaurant you work at. Nice reviews! Tell me how you like your job. For introverts like us it should be a good exercise. I like how you describe your place. I live literally next to the freeway so little peace and nature would be appreciated by me. You mentioned the books I told you about. I remember you put down something in that list of the books that you could do right away. I am waiting for a Goodreads invitation from Emma…

“Mmmmmmm,” hummed the engine. Abruptly, the noisy world, with all the cars swiftly zooming by, went silent. The van continued rolling, propelled by the force of what had recently been a working engine. The silence remained unbroken until finally, my mom interrupted it. “I think something's broken,” she said to my dad with a worried look on her face. “Nothing happens when I push the gas.” “Pull over,” he told her calmly as the van rolled on. “I’ll take a look and see what we can do.” Deep inside,…
