My eyes slowly flutter open, when they come into focus I look around. The lights are sill dim, but Shelby, Dr. Sherry, and even Sophie have all have left, leaving me in a soothing silince. How long have I been out, it couldn't have been that long, could it? I ask myself. I wonder where they could be, then I see a white door out in front of me, realizing I'm still laying down I sit up, I then look down and see a medium sleeve dark chocolate brown shirt, I slowly pick it up and sniff it.

“Transportation planning in the United States is in the midst of a shift similar to that taking place in the United Kingdom, away from the singular goal of moving vehicular traffic… it places a greater emphasis on passenger rail networks, which had been neglected until recently.” The emphasis of mass transit had been ignored for many years in America. The thought of owning our own car and having your own things is the ‘American dream’, although in an economic stand point is…

There were several trees placed in the scene showing off their beautiful colors of light and dark green. The trees were very tall, appearing to almost touch the skies if looking up. Some were aligned around a circular light brown path along the ground, appearing to be dirt while the rest of the trees aligned themselves along the shape of the small stream. The sun was shining down towards the left of…

girls passed notes, giggling obnoxiously. A couple was making out in the back of the classroom, ignorant to anything around them. And Celeste waited for it to end. ~~~ It became a game to her. Walk home across the train tracks, balance on the rails and pretend to worry about what would happen if you heard it approach behind you.
