October Sky

Creative Writing I needed to escape hell and it was now, or never. Within seconds my father was already on to me, the one who created this miserable hell, had me in his grasp this whole time. The brass bells banged and clanged across the courtyard. Guards, on high alert, stood at each exit creating an impenetrable wall. I was surrounded and there was no way out of hell. I had to resort to desperate measures, it involved jumping off a five-storey mansion into a bale of hay. A die-or-do moment…

It was just an ordinary day at Tropicana City, the sun was shining and there were no clouds in sight. Tropicana is a beautiful city that is by the ocean. About 10-15 miles away from the shore, there is a very dark and gloomy island that nobody has ever been to. Although Tropiana is a city of beauty, there is a gloomy part of town that no one wants to visit. I went to the library with my twin brother,Nathan, to do our homework. I was working on my math homework and my brother was reading a book…

May, blue sky have hung a fireball sun, the clouds seem burned by the sun, and disappeared without a trace. The weather was hot like death, the wind has never appeared, and the air stick together seems touchable. It is always a great time for mountain hiking, the feel of conquering a mountain, the sense of accomplishment is so satisfied. Conquering the mountain is not easy, but the trip of conquering will gave the most precious experience. It was the first day of May, the sky still sleeping,…

concrete that is coated on top of it. The trail is marked at a mile long and your destination is a high top view of your surrounding area. You see the sun setting behind a tall hill of trees that are miles away, and the eagles flying throughout the sky. As you look over part of the world, you realize the world is truly a wonderful…

with a very familiar melody. One that mimics the saxophone. The padre would point up to the sky and say, “Everything turns on Jazz.” (This would be another topic of discussion: whether or not he says it in French) The camera would follow the direction of the padre’s finger and pan towards the night sky. The electric piano in the background of the music sounding like the twinkling stars above. In the night sky, the blinking light of a Mexican-Afro satellite is visible to all. It would be a…

Would you like to visit the Bahamas? I would like to visit the Bahamas so that I can see the blue water, go on a cruise, and visit the island of Nassau. I would like to see the pretty water. Going on a cruise to the Bahamas would be extraordinary . Learning about pirates in Nassau would be awesome. The Bahamas have beautiful blue water. Sitting by the clear water would be relaxing. Because the water is so clear it is easy to find seashells in the sand. Watching the animals through the…

were showing off their beautiful orange skin. To Ebony, this autumn day was perfect. She kept on dancing to her heart’s content. That is until she stopped when she could not see herself anymore. Was I really dancin’ for that long? She thought. The sky was now pitch black. A murky haze blinded her from her surroundings. The moon was full; however, it was to no avail as clouds were blocking the moon’s light. Ebony took a deep breath, before taking slow steps to the tree that held…

When we think of autumn, we think about the hot and humid days coming to an end, and the various colors of changing leaves. However, if you want to experience the true beauty of autumn, the Blue Ridge Mountain is the place to be. The sight of the mountain and the sound of the aging trees and their various color leaves brought peace to my soul. Also, the various fragrances that lingers in the air is breathtaking and relaxing. As I drove along the long frosty, and foggy road of Blue Ridge Mountain…

Journey The sand feels great. It’s warm. It’s as if I’m walking through a warm puddle on a cold night. The sand caresses my feet every step I take as if it’s hugging “the webbing of” my toes*. The blazing sun is like a light in a building of thousands of people; as it is shared by the vivid life of the beach. The people on the beach are having the time of their lives as if they were celebrating a nationwide event of some sort. The great island of Costa Rica is just generally full of life. The…

The early morning sun peeks over the Seattle mountains and through the tall evergreens, the light reaching for every material within its grasp, illuminating the once dim street. On this bright May morning, the light stretches toward the window belonging to Gwen Kennicott. Within the next few seconds the light has cast a shadow through her blinds and onto the grey walls. On an ordinary day, the light trickling through her window wouldn’t have stirred her, but this was no ordinary day. The 18th…
