Nevermind

Reading, a pastime I did not really enjoy, There was nothing anybody could do to get me to read. If someone wanted me to read they would have to strap me down in a chair, and force my eyes to go across the pages. Okay, not literally, I am over dramatizing, but I really did not like reading, until one day a book I read changed everything. In the late Autumn of 2008, my mother was searching through the Scholastic Book Club catalog that was from my school library. In it were many books that I…

Pinecrest Lake is a popular reservoir located thirty miles east of Sonora, and one mile from Highway 108. The pretty lake is hemmed in by a long forested ridge on its south shore.

The minutes turned to hours as Jimin twisted his mind to reveal even the smallest details and ideas about what he could use Yoongi for. First off was his initial plan, revolving around manipulation, just as his lifestyle did as well. He could also play the game of innocence, pretending to essentially become the personal therapist of Yoongi and let him vent out all of his life's secrets after gaining the man's trust. For now though, he'd stick to winging whatever plan could develop after the odd…

Lionel let it go, though by this point keenly aware of how much of an “artful deceiver” his son had turned into - sprinkling just a bit of truth among a myriad of lies. When his grandmother found a gun under his bed, Jeff had insisted to his father that it was just a target pistol, for use at a shooting range. When he asked to see it, Lionel discovered it not a target pistol, but a Colt Lawman .357 Magnum with a two-a-half inch barrel - not the type found at a shooting range. Jeff explained it…

It was a morning like any other, I woke up and looked out my window to see the old rusted piece of metal some like to call the Golden Gate Bridge. I always woke up at 6:30 sharp to make sure I had enough time to read over the papers that were due in a few short hours. As I carry along with my morning routine I realize today was partner day in biology, the day I dreaded most in the semester, mostly because my partner usually makes me do most of the work and the parts they do,they mess it up.…

Huck is introduced to the story as an archetypal hero; he has an ordinary life, he receives a call to action, and at first refuses this call. Before…

Throughout the world, many hundreds of people have been diagnosed with terminal illnesses. Some of these illnesses are very painful and can cause suffering to those diagnosed until they eventually pass away. Today, a few countries have legalized a method to circumvent this suffering; it is known as physician/euthanasia assisted suicide (EAS).
