Halls of fame

hallway, but at the end is the figure of a little girl. The opposite way it is then. Gun at the ready, I try and figure my way out of this maze of an orphanage. I hear laughter behind me. I sneak a look back and see a boy standing at the end of the hall. I…

The hallway is lit by a single light attached to the middle of the popcorn ceiling. There used to be two lights but one bulb flickered and died leaving the hallway dim.

The flooring in the hallway is a worn dark…

The man leapt up and took the notepad from the rock. He scurried to the puddle, fiddling for the pencil which lay submerged in the filthy water.

Celebrities are annoying people who has to have all the attention on themselves. In my opinion celebrities are not a big deal. They are just people who make a lot of money doing movies and songs. The world makes them a big deal because they come on televisions, radios, and magazines so they must be idolize.
