That date will forever be special to me, as it has affected my life in so many positive ways. We found each other at just the right time for the both of us, and together changed our lives for the better. If it weren’t for a friend’s persuasion, and maybe a little fate, I would not be where I am today. A few months prior to the 30th, I broke up with my girlfriend of 2 and a half years. She…

The feeling that is carved but hated all at once. Yet, hating it is why it is craved. Stephen king knows much about this for being an author in the horror genre. By being an author of such, he is able to account for terror and why it is a good thing. In his essay, “Why We Crave Horror Movies” he explains the want/need for terror…

    The Ford Focus RS is at the apex of small car performance, an all-wheel drive model powered by a high-performance 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

    12:00 the time on her alarm clock reads as she sits up upon the bed awaiting something. Her face gave off this excited but anxious look that I have seen before in most girls her age. For the many years I have walked this earth and have tormented women like her. The native ones who would do anything to please the people she cares about. The sight was all too familiar with the scent of dirt and salt that fills the lungs to the single candle like that ignites the room. All was familiar except the…

    I was cold. I mean, everything around me was cold. My blanket didn 't seem to do much at the time so there wasn 't really any need for it. The book I held in my hands didn 't satisfy me, but the rain outside did. I watched as the raindrops slid down the window leaving streaks of water behind. The conversations from the children filled my ears. Every day was the same. I didn 't want to be a part of their conversations, and even if I did they would call me a witch or a freak. So I never bothered…

    I open the door to my room, and immediately drop my bag in the corner by the door. I sit down at my desk, and turn to page 37 in my textbook. I begin reading about the Aztecs, but it doesn’t stick. I close my textbook, and go downstairs to the kitchen. I struggle trying to find where the snacks are, but finally find them in the 2nd cabinet. In my old house, they were in the top cabinet, but I guess I’ll just have to get used to it. I grab a bowl of chips, and sit at the island staring at the…
