    To myself, the noble. How can I find a single reason to stay alive when the shining light of yesterday is a promise on borrowed time? It’s a dream warped by sadness, a world in pieces that I am obligated to rebuild in her name. Success simply means we get to move on with our lives but move forward sharing the profits with friends.

    New Orleans: A Short Story

    (2)The last of my clothes were out, my duffle bag open at two AM. The dark night filled my room, only the moon as a light source, and the trees rustled in the wind. New Orleans was crime bound at this time at night, people were constantly missing, gunshots constantly heard, but I learned to deal with it. Sirens wailed in the distance, and caught my attention. I walked over to my window and looked outside-the sirens carried away towards the mansion down the street. Probably one of the…

    Chapter Twenty-Five All Paths Eventually Cross It was a night of tossing and turning and awful dreams, spent much as I’d spent most of my evenings in Ann tar: being drowned by a bunch of nightmarish sea witches. By morning I was worn out. My limbs felt sore and stiff as wood, my head groggy. I might have felt better if I hadn’t slept at all. Isabel woke me at the crack of dawn. “Rise and shine, Mr. Greene,” she chirped, pitching a log into the campfire. “The gang took Emma into the woods to…

    I took a deep breath and began pacing around the room. Thoughts were circling through my head. What about my friends? I won’t know anyone. A flurry of contradictory thoughts came in response. But you don’t know if it’s better there. I sat on my bed and let out an exhausted sigh. I had to choose between staying at my home school, or going to a new middle school that had just opened up called Metro. My mother had first heard of Metro through a neighbor whose son was starting. She was told about…

    Critical Preface Going over the whole interview and realizing how many similar situations I have gone through with my Grandpa is what surprised me the most. This paper was completely different then I thought it was going to be. I assumed it would just be about me asking my grandpa questions and he just answers them and I’d put dialogue with a little bit of background information on paper. After I think about how I was going to originally start the paper I’m glad I realized that I need to change…

    "Ngh... where am I?" I thought to myself. I couldn't see anything around, instead being surrounded by a calming, warm white light. "Welcome, human." I jumped as a calming women's voice came out from nowhere. "You are about to enter the wonderful world of Pokemon." "Pokemon? Pokemon aren't real, you're crazy." I laughed into the void. "Silence!" The voice commanded. It was almost like another person was speaking. "Geez, no need to yell, lady." "Sorry, normally people would be more excited…

    Did you miss me.....the way his deep and smooth voice said that made my legs feel like they were jelly as I grab a hold of Lysander. I felt my foot step ahead one after the other as I realize I was running towards him, arms wide apart reaching forward to him. I launched myself to him arms wrapping around his throat and the feeling of his strong arms wrapping themselves around my body. I left my head up grabbing a hold of cheeks, I look down at him into his warm brown eyes that gaze back at me…
