The Tunnels “Are you afraid of pipes, Jay or should I say jason” echoes from the pipes. You wake up from a bad dream and then you decide to go downstairs while you look at your mom watching news and go to the cabinet and get a sandwich. Then you go back up to get your shovel. Then you go outside banging your shovel against the ground and you hit the pipes. You fall back and try to scream but then you fall down into the dirt and get knocked out. When you wake up, you notice that the dirt is…

of language and, by virtue of language, an ability to have thoughts about thoughts and to imagine alternatives to our current reality.” Animals don’t possess the ability to picture life in any other way than the way it is at the time. For example, pigs roll around in mud to regulate their body temperature, not because it drives them toward something they want for the future. Meanwhile, humans are able to perceive alternatives to their past, current reality, and possibilities for their future,…

nightmares: poisoned seeds, contaminated fields, apocryphal images of eight-legged chickens”. I found it interesting that last year in China KFC, a fried-chicken fast food chain, sued three internet companies that claimed they were using GMO chickens with 6 wings and 8 legs to make their products (Tsang). My initial thought was, are the KFC products in the United States made from mutated chickens? The article expresses that the claims were false but I can see how that still might not calm…

Just minutes before they had gassed the area, and now their gas masks made them look like deranged, mutated pigs. Now all Dinklefart and Granny had to do was break open the doors, steel the so called time machine and bring back a prehistoric friend of theirs-Dr. Traumatizer, escape before the reinforcements come, free Dr. Traumatizer, and get back to…

Nelson Mandela, The South African president from 1994-1999 and anti-apartheid revolutionary, once said “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” This quote makes perfect sense in today's world full of cowardliness and shortcuts. Children and young adults face the challenge of steering away from being a coward and taking shortcuts in a corrupt society. The importance of not…
