Forest tell her a few days prior, “We’re gonna die anyway, so I have no need for friends.” Just like any of us, Tickle Me Pink hated being in the box, trapped in her small corner, upright, where she remained still for…

I scurry across the long and dreadful hallway asking myself, why did I bring Jackson into this? This is all my fault. I must save him. The door to the control room is so close I can taste it. I am sprinting now. I must make it to this control room. I must free Jackson. I could feel my heart pounding straight out of my chest as I make my way closer and closer to the door. But then, I realize I’m not getting any closer to the door. Every foot closer I get, it moves a foot further. I stop, and so…

now?” Kate whispered. Just as Mr. Jacks started to open his mouth, the trees started swaying and a face emerged from the light. “Darby!” Kate ear-piercingly screeched. They were so happy to see each other that they hugged tightly. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw silhouettes moving towards the shimmering blue light. Four more people escaped the first force field, holding on to the hope of seeing their families again. “What do we do now?” Kate thought. The sky was a million shades…

As the season gets closer to summer the nights start to get warmer, and as the nights get warmer the kids play longer. Picking up my phone I texted my friend Elli to see if she could get anyone to play night games at the Mapleton City Park. Earlier that day at school we had began planning on having night games, and the park was a central place to have them. Even with both of us trying we couldn’t get anyone who could come play. Only one person said that they would be there, who just…

“You should be ashamed of yourself for what you did,” the headmistress says seething, barely keeping her cool, “At this academy we hold our girls to a high standard and what you have done is unacceptable.” My hands lay, fingers clasped together, in my lap motionless. I sit poised in the uncomfortable wooden chair and rethink everything that’s happened, how I got in this situation, what I’m going to do after this blows over, and what this means. “I’m sorry-” “No, I am sorry, Miss, but sorry will…

your best friend, apparently. That’s exactly what Jay did, as she watched the shadow trail her from the corner of her eye. Creepy old guys were a normal part of working the overnight shift at a 24-hour convenience store, but usually they were only after a pack of crisps or a carton of beer, before leaving. They didn’t usually hang around, or trail store employees. Quickly turning the corner and pacing into the next aisle, spotting some blond chick perusing the junk food aisle for something…

Baring their Teeth: The Anasazi Legacy The culture of the Ancient Puebloans, or Anasazi, is mostly left to mere guesswork. Their written language is a dead to today 's linguists. The only thing left to understand about their lives is found in what they left behind; which was much more than a few pieces of gorgeous pottery. For 2,000 years the anasazi ruled Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, and Kayenta, spanning most of the southwest United States writes Kathy Weiser. From 1200 B.C. to 1300 A.D. The…

The Perfect Shot I can do this. I know I can. Everyone is counting on me. My friends, my family, and my team. I have to make this shot. I can't let them down. I won't let them down. To most people, taking a penalty kick in a soccer game is simple. All they have to do is kick a ball 12 yards just enough so that it crosses over a white line and rolls past the goalkeeper. However, it's not as easy as it seems. It can be this easy if players think positive instead of thinking negatively about…
