    Alex Jenny told me about Ms.Stiles, and how she suspects she knows something. I really did not think that was true. I told Jenny that Ms.Stiles has been a big mythical creatures nerd and she has a bunch of books about them, too. We decided to follow Ms.Stiles to see if Jenny could hear her thought. Jenny was not very good at staying hidden and accidentally bumps into her. Something happened to her when Ms.Stiles caught her from hitting the concrete.

I waited until Ms.Stiles was no where near us to ask her what happened. “ I think I just saw the future,” Jenny replied when we sat down. She told me that she saw someone looking at some papers and Ms.Stiles…

    distance from him. Nobody ever stopped just to make conversation with Chuck. Afterall, who would want to talk to a dirty homeless man? Chuck’s dark brown hair was oily and unkempt as if he hadn’t known the pleasure of a shower or a comb in a while. His beard was grown in uneven patches along his jawline. His once green, now faded to a light grey, jacket covered his torn and sweat stained t-shirt underneath. He wore a pair of denim blue jeans that were shredded at the knees and rested just…

    Jenny must have subconsciously picked up on my complaints of verification because she tasked me with the duty of writing dining guides. One part of me was excited to write because I am an English major and spent the last three years writing every type of paper under the sun. On the other hand, I was nervous because I am not familiar with writing for a magazine and after three years of writing, not super confident in my ability to write. However, I kept positive thoughts, and as an intern, there…

    hayduke hess When jenny pointed out the trees we knew there must be water. So we started running as fast as we possibly could in the heat to get there but every step brought excruciating pain to our feet. The ground was flaming hot it burned my feet so bad. When we got there to the trees the ground felt so good and cold in the shade. I saw three big white blobs in the middle of the forest but as soon as we got to them I noticed they were camping trailers with red stripes and…

    eye contact. I wish he'd just make his decision to kill me or not. When a hand is placed on my back and an arm drapes over my chest, Alfonso and I both look at stranger. I blink several times this time. I find a very similar face to Alfonso's. Same red hair and green eyes, just the opposite sex. Jenny has come for me. She gives me a brief smile before she uses her arms to hug my head and I would've been shocked by the fact that this is the closest she's ever been to me, if it weren't for the…
