Light crude oil

A perfect day is any day when I spend it with my older brother and older sister one of those days would be like this. I’m awoken at four AM to see their faces to be told we’re going to San Diego. On hearing this and seeing them I got out of bed ecstatically to get dressed quickly and jump into my sister’s car. After what felt like an eternity we finally arrived in San Diego as hungry as a bear. The three of us decide to eat breakfast and plan out the rest of the day while we eat. We all eat…

Storm brought his empty plate into the kitchen. He stood by the sink and watched Penny out in the patio. She stood back listening to the conversation between her mother and father, Arnold, and the two plump astronomers from ANU. She nodded her head politely and no doubt about it, gave polite chuckles at just the right time while they chatted on and on with each other. He caught her eye as he walked past the open doors into the living room, and gave her a wave as she gazed over her shoulder at…

We arrived in the middle of the night, almost in secret. When we were a couple miles away, we could see dimmed lights up ahead. The closer we got, the brighter they shined our way. They resembled the stars in the sky, but instead they had fallen onto the ground to illuminate the night. When we drew into town, everything seemed so strange to me. These building seemed foreign, I didn’t recognize anything. The stone buildings, seemed strange from my perspective. Strange in a way that this was all…

Standing ahead of the closed door to Lt. Marshall’s office, Edith seemingly felt panic-stricken. An irrational thought ran through her mind, one that screamed RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! Fear is a powerful thing and it crept inside her unexpectedly. She took a moment to regain focus. Running away wasn’t the option, combat the tension built inside was. So with courage, Edith knocks delicately waiting for permission to enter. “Come in.” A profound voice from behind the entryway said. Edith enters…

Sweaty palm clinch, with knots in my stomach. My eyes darting through the crowd of nameless faces. I inch closer to the stage. “Coming to the stage, MO’NIQUE!” I exhale a final nervous breath, releasing all inhibitions and walking onto the stage becoming Mo’nique. Well, the awkward tween version of her, at least. In the Little Miss Continental Pageant, we were required to introduce ourselves as a well known African American woman, answer questions about current events and raise money for a…

Prologue The enigmatic sky was as black as tar, rain fell heavily across the pessimistic city from swirling grey clouds. Blue flashes of lightning struck the tops of towering derelict skyscrapers. Hundreds and thousands of buildings jumbled together in a massive multitude of disarray. Deep in the crevices of the city, in a small dark alley stood two figures, watching each other in contemplative silence. The first figure who stood in the entrance of the alleyway was a young man. The young man…

My personal initial thought was, why did a Caucasian male paint this? What significance does this pertain to him? Maybe he was just a racist dude and was a slave owner a painted a moment in which one of his slave tried to escape, I don’t know for sure and others don’t. Only he does. Aside from that, in the artwork, it is easily shown that there is an African-American male that is hiding up in the trees, purposely hiding from what looks like a group of men along with a dog and someone riding…

Hours upon hours of labor were placed before me on a day that seemed just as normal as any. It was a rather crisp day in the relatively non-existent Florida winter. A day in which I was asked to complete what was quite possibly one of the most incredibly difficult assignments I had ever been given. I had enlisted the help of a handful of close friends to finish the mission that was placed before me in view of the fact that there truly was no way for me to be victorious in said battle without an…

Santos ACS 5 Janna Corn 18 September 2014 Light Since the first days of the humankind on Earth that was something present and helped them develop their skills to survive. Light, even with a lot of studies about it, continues to be an ambiguous topic to explain. Therefore, most people know that it has uses and a lot of concepts about its functioning or essentially its definition. Many scientists around the world developed concepts to explain what light is. This happened because each of them had…

stared down at my schoolwork while my mind remained static. Suddenly, I found myself beginning to radiate golden light as my body faded from existence; then before I knew it, I rematerialized out of thin air. This does not happen often, so I was rather confused as I stood atop a cloud, high up in the sky. That is, until I noticed a large, human-like figure appear before me in a holy light. He raised his hands and smiled down at me before bellowing out, “Behold, for it is I; Gabe Newell!”…
