The bar is quiet. I mean, not that it isn’t always quiet – what with us beingthe third dive bar on the one street, which is really just a mesh of Trost nightlife that spreads out five blocks in either direction, which makes the competition more than tough on a good day – but tonight is practically empty. We usually have a couple regulars who slump over the bar from sundown to sunrise, but today there are more stools empty than occupied. Maybe there’s a game on? But that wouldn’t explain why…

Things changed after Order Sixty-Six…fall of the Republic…the fall of the Jedi…and the rise of the Galactic Empire. I remember that day, my parents were both Jedis in love, but they kept their love a secret along with my existence. By the age of eight, my parents always told me after the war, they would leave the Jedi order and be a real family. Then that day came, peace talks began; the war came to a close. My parents took me to the Jedi temple to face the Jedi council when the war ended, but…

So I knew that it was going to be very hard to win this. As Mitchel and I went back to the show ring the announcer said over the intercom, “The first place winner of this class will win $300. The second place winner will win $200.” This made my stomach turn. It took the judge a long time to figure out who he was going to pick, then finally he went and talked about the lambs. He ended…

The Infiltrator As the transport entered Acadia 4’s atmosphere, the friction of the descent unleashed an aura of dense orange flames. Eric Nels watched out the Portside windows as the blaze extended across his view of sight. Expanding, it appeared to ignite the rockish landscape below. As the craft escaped the boundaries of the atmosphere, the flames quickly subsided, revealing an unobstructed view of the surface below. Although, the rocky terrain of Acadia 4’s surface was easily apparent from…

Have you ever went through something and at the time it made no sense to you then later on one day it comes to you in perfect sense as to why it happened? In my belief everything happens for a reason. Every little small thing that happens to us leads to something in the bigger picture in the long run of our life. Sometimes it’s hard to comprehend in life but it is definitely a concept i have always reminded myself. Sometimes unexplainable things happen to us. They happen sometimes for the…

step down from their position. They also have Safety Patrol for fifth grade students and make sure that all their students get to school safely. They recite the pledge everyday and third through fifth graders can sign up to say the pledge over the intercom. Something unique is that they have an outdoor learning center and fourth and fifth graders maintain it. The last thing is that the fourth graders are in charge of picking up the recyclables. Nurturing Pedagogy was apparent at Walnut mainly…

The first day of seventh grade is something that’s almost impossible to describe with words. This was actually the first day of Middle School for me, which can prove to be very hard. Actually, the first week of seventh grade was just like the first day, because I didn’t find it so easy to adapt to my new school. On the cool, foggy morning of September 3rd, I woke up at six in the morning, which felt very unusual, considering the fact that I never wake up this early. Not even a second after I…

JFK Assassination John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States of America. He was shot while riding through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. He was then rushed to Parkland Hospital and approximately 30 minutes later he was pronounced dead at the age of 46. At 1:00 P.M. his body was removed and taken back to Washington aboard Air Force One with Jackie and his successor. It is said that Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots for the sixth floor of the…

On Halloween, Merlin Evans, third-grade teacher at Brecon Hollow Elementary School, closed the hefty storybook perched on his lap, and smiled down at his students seated on the bright blue carpet before him. “Thus, the valiant King Arthur and his noble knights saved the day. The End.” “Awww!” the children chorused. “We want more!” said little Leon with an eager grin. “I love hearing about the Knights of the Round Table!” Gwaine leapt up, unable to contain his enthusiasm. “Please, Mr. Evans,…

I grew weary after that and just looked at myself in the mirror and asked, what’s going on? A voice over the intercom said that lunch would start in ten minutes. Ten minutes passed and the door opened with two guards wearing suits. We were escorted to the lunch room I was ready to eat but then I saw what we had to eat. It looked like raw meat. So I just sat down…
