The year is 2019, and America has barely survived a third world war. The background is a room with blue carpet. The walls are beige with a dark wooden boarder around the top. A long, wooden table sits in the middle of the room. At the end of the table sits President Donald Trump, turned around looking at a screen where the news portrays the current state of the nation. Enter Niccolò Machiavelli and Augustine of Hippo. Trump: [turning to Machiavelli and Augustine] Hello. Who are you? Augustine:…
Miranda had to be prepared as if she was going to have surgery because of the anesthesia. She was dressed in a gown and placed on a gurney. We did not have a room. Instead, she was in an area where patients wait to be taken to surgery. There were eight separate stations for patients. Miranda was in the one closest to the door. The nurses and doctors were great. They entertained her the entire time we waited…

81224, five numbers without much significance to many people; however, to me, those numbers can bring a calmness on my soul. Those numbers are one of the many ways to represent Crested Butte, Colorado. The emptiness of the town is short lived when you start walking around. The constant cool temperatures make walks enjoyable and outdoor activities a must. During the winter, temperature is constantly in the negatives. Despite the bitter cold, the slopes are never empty. Though there are bigger…

been too long since they had seen each other last, but one would have assumed it had been ages, the way they came together. "Iris!" He beamed, opening the door. "Barry!" They embraced tightly and all of Iris' oxygen supply was suddenly out of the room. Pulling away slowly, Iris was able to take in Barry's appearance. Disheveled, no surprise, his hair sticking up in several places, his t-shirt smelled freshly-laundered, but also, so unmistakably Barry Allen. In his dorm, it was easy to pick out…
closely to see how she could ensure students were fully enjoying the play. At times she would walk around the room putting away some items the students were finished playing with, but pulling out new items they hadn't touched yet. Ms. Stacey would be crawling around on the floor with the children, taking direction, and following the student's lead, while Ms. Brittany would be scanning the room and monitoring all groups paying while making sure students did not harm each other or…

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.…
I walk out of the room into a long hallway and out of nowhere a door was slammed shut. I question my decision on coming to this place was taking this big of a risk worth it. The only option I have left is to crawl into one of the vents. I make my way out of the vents into the 2nd story of the building the Lobby is downstairs it’s abandoned there’s blood all around. All the computers are broken I can’t imagine what has been happening here I make my way into a room full of corpses and ripped…
her full length mirror––I did not have one of those at home. I remember this particular mirror, as it had collected many years of experience and had, no doubt, seen many reflections and curious onlookers. It leaned up against the wall in her dining room, waiting for the next observer that happened to chance by. It stood the test of time––it survived many decades since its creation in the early 19th century––and parts of the intricate patterns in the dark wood showed signs of abrasion to confirm…
