Guiding Light

Grass under my stomach reminded me of our yard in Lousiana. Cool breezes sending chills up my back, while I`m laying on the trampoline. All I see is clouds of grey, the sky is upset. My friends laying beside me trying yo find images in the darkness of the sky. A field of a corn a few doors down. The smell of my neighbors jumblaya and apple barb pie fills the air. We are having dinner with them tonight. Today the flower`s crest the ground and tomorrrow they will be gone. We have a regular metal…

It was Thursday night and I was cold. I was walking down a dark alleyway following one of my friends to meet up with some our other friends and this was her shortcut. I constantly kept feeling the urge to turn away and run, but she held my hand so tightly I could not let go. Even though I did not mind, I was still shivering so much from the cold and cringing of the thought of getting caught. “Lee, I really don’t think that we should do this.” I erupted. “Why not? I thought you wanted to do…

Her grey-blue eyes rimmed with red stared out of the window, watching the trains chug passed as the rain fell. It was as if the sky was crying, crying for her. She saw her reflection in the window staring back at her. She was weak and scared; worry had infected her thoughts and spread through her veins as if it were venom. A single tear rolled down her cheek, staining the envelope that she was grasping onto, turning her cold knuckles pale, pushing it to her chest. The fear of what the truth held…

would be able to see the green light on the end of Daisy’s dock at home. Immediately after saying this, he seems shocked. “Possibly it had occurred to him that the colossal significance of that light had now vanished forever. Compared to the great distance that had separated him from Daisy it had seemed very near to her, almost touching her. [...] Now it was again a green light on a dock. His count of enchanted objects had diminished by one” (98). The green light…

of display. She looked as though she was opening up. Ready to embrace the next life. Her jaw lay slack, slightly ajar, her head turned at a small angle. The tub was only filled up about a foot. She wore a black bathing suit that contrasted with the light red water. Her wrists had two cuts each. One, two. One, two. Quick, efficient and no room for second thoughts. Palms were faced up and the streams of blood were still draining slowly onto the white tile. Red spots danced about on the floor and…

the wind was blowing through the leaves. Marcus and his parents had just moved into an old farmhouse on several acres of secluded land. After a couple of months of living there, Marcus had started to notice odd things, like the flickering of the lights, shadows walking out the corner of his eye, and sometimes even objects moving. Marcus tried telling his parents, but they didn’t believe him. There were no electrical issues because they just had electricians check the house for those things, so…

Silence Drip, drip, drip tears fall into my lap "I don't want to be here, I just don't" I mutter to myself. Nobody knows were I am what am I going to do? Aliens are trying to take over the world and they finally got me. My mamma she doesn't know were I am. Were are they taking me? I keep thinking. Finally the ships doors opened these blue egg looking creatures grab me by the arm and start dragging me down a green carpet. I look up and see a large creature just like the blue aliens but bigger,…

American traditional style very much in this oil painting. What I saw next is the names being crossed out I thought it was silly but of course there is a meaning behind it -- history. From there I moved to the tattoo artist and what he is wearing, such a light pink color. Men would not dare to wear pink back in the day. That is when I realized the man he is tattooing is a Sailor. And that's when all emotion went into this painting. The artist achieved a very strong meaning with this painting--…

"Laguno Candate!" the hooded apprentice screamed the spell. His orange fiery hair flowed and floated. Snake like, silver eyes squinted with concentration. He struggled to keep up the spell. His sparring partner screamed, as fiery rain plummeted down. His robe caught fire, he dropped his sword and the fiery rain stopped. The hooded boy fell to the ground. Laughing through his exhaustion. His master came over standing in all his daemon glory. "Good young, daemon apprentice. Your spell work is…
