When we first arrived to the pueblo I couldn't help but notice that it was like a miniature town everyone knew everyone and they would walk to stores instead of looking for a taxi or something. But there was indeed something called “mototaxistas” which were the taxis there and that's exactly what we used to get to the house my dad has there. My grandma, my uncle, brother and me got…

Garage Workshop I've done it countless times. I walk up the driveway of my dad’s generic suburban ranch house and open the fading, white garage door.

I was able to swim to the very bottom and stay there for countless minutes thinking about my life, just enjoying the water on my skin and around me.

The Transition When I woke up, I smelled pine and the sun shone so brightly into my eyes, almost to where it blinded me. I felt a hunger that I had never felt before. After that, I ate all of my food I had in my backpack, but it only made the hunger worse. Then I saw it: a ginormous pool of blood, my blood, surrounded me. When I looked around a second time, I spotted a small village close by and I could hear a conversation between townsfolk clear as day. Then I realized, I can smell, hear, and…

Malls are the second most frequently used venue for walking (Eyler, Brownson, Bacak, & Housemann, 2003). Many malls open early so that people may mall walk.

Julius Caesar and the Coliseum It is another day that l wake up. I walk to my father’s room only to hear him talking to another person. He was saying,’’We need more entertainment in this disgraceful mess.’’ I think to myself, “Father has always been talking about having a theater outdoor.’’ He was tired of the complaints from the poor.
