Goosebumps

Suburban life had never been so boring, Tori thought, flicking up the volume on the TV in hopes of drowning out her parents squabble. She was pretty sure they’d been at it at least 15 minutes; which was, in her opinion, 15 minutes too long to spend arguing over which type of wine and cheese to take to the get together tonight. “Tori, turn down the TV you’re going to go deaf!” Her mother called over the cacophony in the house. Tori rolled her eyes a little but turned it down for a minute before…

Mikensie WIlliams Stockton LA 7 September, 2016 Scared One time I was at my church playing with my little sisters Teagan and Kelty and my two friends Cienna and Trinity. It was in the evening and we decided to play hide and go seek tag, but when we got out of the gym it was very scary the shadows, no lights except the one flickering light. Teagan and Kelty went too hide and when we went to go and find them we got really scared. Every time we went out a door would open then close!…

the trees bracketed in their dirt circles in the pavement. A crushed crisp packet skitters across the street. He steps closer. She can smell his cologne under the alcohol now. See the fibres of his jersey. He looms over her, blocking the wind. Goosebumps erupt on her skin. His hand comes up to tuck her hair behind her ear. His voice is coated in sugar. The world comes crashing back into focus. His words aren’t sweet. An engine purrs and she looks up to see a car rounding the corner. A familiar…

against me and recoiling, a way that welcomed though never invited me over. I felt the unexpected brazen burn of the chilly water all around me, suddenly, my entire summer of half-remembered daydreams turned into an awakening of reality with the goosebumps to prove it. I thought about how much I’d missed out on last year. I thought…

If you could choose anyone to be for a brief period of time, who would you be? A simple question you may think, but take a minute. There are so many people in the history of the world that it may seem impossible. Some may choose a historical figure like Abraham Lincoln, whereas others may choose a Celebrity like Samuel L. Jackson. In my case, I chose someone who has been an inspiration to me since I was a kid, Princess Leia Organa from Star Wars. Although she is a fictional character , I believe…

Prologue: "Hey sweetheart, can you open your eyes for me, please?" His deep, husky voice asked. Quickly remembering my warning, I shook my head, making his arms tighten around my body. His arms got tighter and tighter around my waist. When it became too much, I let out a squeal. Even though I was in a lot of pain, I still kept my eyes shut for dear life. I couldn’t—No, I wouldn’t open my eyes for this monster of a being. I would either burn or drawn to death than give into him. "Playing…

It was a chilly, crisp January Sunday, of my eighth grade year, much like the kind that sends goosebumps throughout your entire body the second you step foot outside. However, the cold air that day wasn’t what made my mind wander, rather it was set on the one thing I love doing most-- basketball. It was the day I had been waiting for since I signed up; tryouts for Indiana Elite SWISH were finally here. I awoke that day and got dressed in a pair of burgundy, Pike Central basketball gym shorts, a…

I’m sure she is the one who was made for me, No doubt, she is the one to first steal my heart. The one whom her voice simply gives me goosebumps.
