Goosebumps

to and, at the same time, his insides would try to find a secret passage to break loose; ascend from the staircase of his ribcage; shapeshift to the form of the bitter taste of truth - perpetuated on his tongue, but only making it as far as mere goosebumps. Thus, when he first laid eyes on you, all the sirens rooted within his walls exploded glowing fireflies, flooding his mind with reveries of you and him - collapsing the system he took such good care of building and now he's swimming against…

There is something about it. The soft breeze causing goosebumps to appear on my arms, the leaves tickling my legs as I part the branches away from myself. I notice that nearby bees echo the sounds of crickets and I begin to laugh. “What’s so funny?” Mackenzie asks, dodging a branch that came too close to her face. “Nothing,” I say when I realize how stupid it may sound aloud. “We should have worn bug spray,” Mackenzie says, scratching her arms causing red lines to appear where she had just…

could tell. Blues music used to sound all the same until I listened to Vaughn. He opened up my eyes to the world of Muddy Waters and B.B King, and all the greats that I learned to admire. I wanted to create music like that. Music that gives you goosebumps, music that touches your soul.…

Opened Doors I vividly recall glancing at the closed, sliding doors of our convenience store; my glass-paned cage. Goosebumps rose on my skin as I sensed my father’s presence. I turned away from the cash register. “Dad, I think I’ve hit a wall,” I said. “I’m not successful here.” With an invigorated sense of optimism, I left with what I learned at my father’s convenience store and sought out my future. I was so enthusiastic! I finally had an opportunity to open doors for myself. But I was also…

It was a perfect evening for a soccer game, the weather was just right, with a nice breeze that wasn’t too chilly. The parking lot was filled with cars as it was the North Polars first home soccer game of the season. Walking up the stairs , onto the bleachers, the first thing you hear is the energizing rap music, the parents sitting on the left and students on the right all dressed with school spirit, red, white and black and across the field the visiting team had a couple of spectators dressed…

entirely, through it I was still able to find my way going along living life. Going through the motions of uncovering your eyes and saying boo is the part that is supposed to be funny to little kids although, what I saw gave me pure fear and sent goosebumps down my spine making me shiver. Once the eyes were exposed I sensed something moving on my face, relating to miniscule insects crawling all over. My hands went up and were placed upon on my face and I started to move them around when the…

and thanked em for what I did for her brother. I really didn't do much, but the Washbournes appreciated it. I got to know Lucy more, and we went and visited a Chapel. As I picked up Lucky off of the carriage, she gave me a kiss on the lips. I got goosebumps from head to toe. She told me that she liked me, but warned me that she will always be a rebel. This made me never wanting to go to war again. As I went back to the fort, I had heard that Watie’s men are going to kill any of Clardy's men. I…

There is a place that everyone retreats to, that generates them relaxation and pure happiness. My sanctuary was plainly the basketball court. Once I arrive at the gym, I get hit in the face with the chilling breeze of the full blast air conditioning they had on, which would make you want to put on a jacket. To get to the court I had to walk through to two gigantic black heavy doors, generating me to exert all the force I had to pry it open. Arriving onto to the court my nose begins to go numb to…

We began the journey to Colorado in a hot, unairconditioned car. My shirt was sticking to my back and there was literally steam coming out of my ears because my blood was boiling with fury and anger. Out of all the days in life, I needed some peace, and thanks to God, I experienced it at the end of a long drive and a hike up the mountain with my cousins and siblings. The peace I experienced on top of the mountain was like no other. Standing on the edge looking at the beautiful…
