Grand Trunk Road

Michael stepped from the doors into an arid desert wind and found himself on a dusty, winding road carpeted on either side by rolling yellow sands. He looked back for the bus, but it was gone. "Find the road and just keep walking," was the only advice that he had, an so he set his sights on a distant horizon and began to walk. There was a flash of blinding sunlight, and suddenly he was in-- The midst of an abandoned metropolis. The concrete in front of her was cracked and blades of grass…

windshield wipers to the highest setting, nevertheless I could not see as I pulled out of the alley. As I rounded the corner my car slid to the right across the road. Even though I had a ton of homework to do when I got home, I decided to drive slowly and carefully to make it home safely. As I was driving along I noticed a car alongside the road with their flashers on. As I drew closer and closer to the vehicle I noticed the car had a flat tire. I looked around frantic to see if there was any…

The Ways of a Small Town Who wants to wake to the sound of car horns, jackhammers, and all the different sounds of a city that truly never sleeps? Who wants to sit in traffic for over an hour just to move a mile every 5 minutes?

from the norm and take a different road. Maya was taking the road that not many people would travel. She had many opportunities to go home and go back to Mother but she decided not to and to stay out in the world by herself. Frost and Maya can connect based on the fact that they both had two roads. Frost had a road that people usually took and it was pretty standard and then one that has been overgrown because rarely did anyone travel it. Maya had similar roads. She could do what almost…

The library was quite, and for the most part, empty. There were a few students milling about, the yearbook committee in the back, talking in hushed tones, and the occasional stray teacher, but that was all. The air was thick with heat in south California, causing Dory to curse her natural long dark blue locks, which was pulled back in its usual ponytail. It was quiet, too quiet! She slammed her head against the table wondering how she had gotten into this mess. She took the towel to her…

There are many different forms of pain. One Saturday just like any other, me, my dad, and my brother hooked up the trailer to the truck. We did this almost every Saturday. Since we borrowed my grandmother's mower to mow our yard, we had to mow her yard too. Our trailer is in pretty bad shape. It gets the job done, but the gate is close to falling off, one of the chains has been ripped off, and the backlights do not work at all. Morning dew was still on the ground, which made my shoes wet.…

Unable to find one’s way; not knowing one’s whereabouts. It felt as if we were in the middle of a desert and there wasn’t civilization in miles. Are stomachs were growling at us, our mouths were as dry as bone. We had no idea what we had to do because Neither have us never been put in this situation before and no one has ever told me what to do if this ever happened. This is what it means to be lost and that is exactly what Sam and I were. The sun was bright as day it just was a beautiful spring…

Imagine three senior girls piling into a small tan beat up car. It’s just like any other day, the sun is shining and they are all laughing and having a good time. They are going out to get something to eat during their lunch break at school because their school allows off campus lunches.

They pull out of the parking and start heading to Dairy Queen, the music was cranked up too loud and the sun…
