During a survey in 1993 conducted in ancient Ephesus, also known as Turkey, a mass gladiator grave was found. This grave was discovered when the surveyors were looking for the Holy Processional Path between the Artemisian Temple and the City of Ephesus. Four gladiator tombstones were found nearby also supporting the theory that this was a gladiator grave. Gladiator fighting began in Ephesus approximately in 69BC and continued to gain in popularity throughout the years. It is known that…

I have been beyond lucky to have a comfortable life. More than comfortable actually, I have been able to do and experience things most adults have not done. I have traveled to Japan, England, Scotland, been on four cruises to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, St. John/ St. Thomas, Tortola, Nassau, and the list goes on and on. I have owned a horse, taken riding lessons, dance lessons, I ski every year, my car was a gift to me, and I don’t really have bills I have to pay myself. Although from the outside my…

THIRTEEN I’ve been getting awful flashbacks all the time ever since father died. It was like I was reminded of him and every one of his words and advice I took for granted. It was a melancholic distraction from the real world and I was slowly drowning in thoughts I couldn’t comprehend. Almost interrupting my deep thinking, Theodor whispered quietly to the crew of anxious people. “Let’s go. She’s nearby.” He quickly stood up, checked his watched, and hurried out the back door. They…

Four years have passed since I gave him my soul. He came to me today with a box. This box was odd. The odd thing was it was colored, these colors were like a void in space in time. I couldn 't keep my eyes off the box. The colors of the box moved like a wave the colors came in shades of blue, pink, and purple. Maybe my curiosity will kill me. Before I could open my mouth to ask my curious questions he started to talk in a hushed voice. "Elizabeth I know four years ago we made a deal, but now…

I gripped my lacrosse stick like a blanket on a cold winter night, scared down to my bones about what I was about to do. I peeked the back door open to see if anyone was watching, but I knew that no one would be up at this time of night. I grabbed my backpack from the table and quickly ran out the door toward the woods not sure what was lurking in its darkness. I ran through the trees as briskly as I could, nimble on my feet. I knew no one could catch me now, no one knows what I’ve done. I was…

Wasting no time, I snatched the paper and carelessly read it through. As my eyes brood over into the eyes who glared at me with a sense of hostility while I was validating the missive, generously I delivered her a trifling fake smile. “At least, I'll be free from school for two weeks… yuhuu.” Free from school for two weeks like a bird, the excitement sparked in my entire body. That’s incredibly superb. It is something that I at all times look forward to. Recalling Miss Rina who was so cocky,…

My circle time topic is covering the topic respect. I would introduce the topic by having all the children sit at the rug. When all the children are sitting crisscross applesauce I would begin. “Hello boys and girls! Today we have some really special guests with us for circle time. We are learning about something very important today. Raise your hand if you can tell me what the word respect means?” I would then pick on a few children and listen to their responses. “Very nice answers, respect is…
