We traverse through the rigid landscape, the small 2 lane road has more curves than straights. We sneak around the mountains and sometimes through them. Below a river is Surging, from the melted snow. It was the last day of my vacation to Colorado. as we ascend into the sky my ears were popping like a fresh batch of popcorn, we were almost there. Monstrous skiing hills Lie in the distance. We pull into a parking lot shadowed by the ski lodge. I jump out of the car expecting a surge of cold to…

Walking to my car after a late class, there is much more opportunity for observation than during the day. Two girls walk by me, boots knocking against the concrete sidewalk, having a conversation about resumes. It’s one of the most professional conversations I’ve heard all day. The snow from Winter Storm Jonas is slowly melting, but the crunching of what snow is left is a comforting sound. I’m still waiting for that snow day. I unlock my car door, dinging alerting me that it’s open. I start my…

The breeze felt light and soft. It carried smells of exhaust and smoke within the city. Small particles of dust and trash flew in the air. A wrapper brushed against her hair. She discarded it on the rooftop floor. The view was nice. All the lights. All the cars. All the people. It was all so nice. She made her way to the door. She began to turn the handle until she spotted something out of the corner of her eye. A ball floating in the air. An almost clear sphere appeared from the ball.…

changed the tire I was still able to make it to my destination, not when I planned, but I still made it. Having a flat tire was not ideal and it definitely was not a part of my plan. However, I was still able to change my tire, and get on the same road I had a flat tire on. But, I drove in a different lane. Despite inconvenience I still made it to my destination. This experience was a revelation to me. I was dismissed from law school, some classmates made the curve some did not. I learned from…

We all have a place like this, where we go to be ourselves. We all have a place like this where we go to be free. We all have a place like this, that escapes us from our reality and problems I enter the stadium, through a secret door, sometimes it squeaks the screws must be poor. The air is thin with an awful smell, so I hold my nose trying not to inhale. Green, black and white are the only colors I see, on every locker next to me. The locker room is square like a cheez-it cracker. The locker…
