“Can you give me at least this day to sleep in?” I asked, while being a little annoyed as I opened my eyes looking around the room, with my gaze ended up looking straight into Tommy’s green eyes. “But it’s already 10 a.m., how long do you want to sleep? I cannot wait to eat our birthday breakfast that you promised yesterday” he asked as he turned around and left the room, shutting the door without waiting for my response. This is was the way all of my days started out including my birthday.…
thoughts and reality at the forefront of his mind. The first thing he wished to do was forget; to burn away the burdens following him with the scorch of the steeply-priced whiskey that awaited all men in favor of strong drink in the A-Deck smoking room. Normally, Allric would not be given to such arbitrary behavior, but the need to commemorate the…
The story is about a kid the age of thirteen, me. I was up stairs on the second floor, in my room waiting, for my mother to come home from the store at the edge of town by the highway. That is where my story begins. There was a sweet smell coming from the kitchen at the middle of the three story house. I could not find what that smell was. I went down the winding ,creaking stairs. The first floor looked like no one was there. I saw my father sitting in the broken down tv chair. I asked “where is…

in Rochester NY my home town. This night would be different than any other night in my short life, this night was very different and only now do I understand what happened on that August night. It was hot and sticky but we had a fan running in my room. I fell to sleep thinking about whatever it is 9 year old think about. I fell into a deep sleep only to wake up roughly four hours later. I woke and stepped out of my bed…
water in hand ready to partake in my morning washing. “Ah, yes, good morning to you as well” I replied. He led me to my privy chamber, where my servant soaked my hands and face in the bowl of water. After the cleansing, a second servant entered the room to aid my dressing. “Good morning, King Polaris”, he stated with a grin. My servants then assisted as I donned my royal attire. While in this process, my lovely wife, Cassiopeia, comes and gives me a quick peck on the cheek. “Hello, Cassie”, I…
poking out from behind the clouds for a split second. Suddenly, something scuttled down a shadowy alley, cold pushing its warm skin back. Lamps flickered as it ran by, climbing walls and jumping from ledge to ledge from above. A woman changing in her room with the window opened screamed when she saw it for a split second, before being torn to pieces by its clawed hand. The clang of chain could be heard whenever it breathed or thought about moving. Somebody stood in the middle of the street,…
8:05 A.M., Chris is sprinting his down the hall to English, only to find everyone sitting down, staring at the entrance of the room, and the teacher marking everyone but him present.

The way to fix EJMHS’s issue is to rewind it’s ban on bags in classrooms, which would also help with other…
The road, or more appropriately named, the path, that led to Opal, essentially consisted of dirt, and what appeared to be barbed gravel. Needless to say, it wasn’t the most favored path to traverse, amongst the neighbors, especially those with wagons of poorer quality, as the spokes of the wagon would often break, or create a hitch. While I didn’t so much have an issue with taking the path, aside from the pseudo-agonizing distance, it was truly, and utterly, an eyesore. However, I did enjoy the…
