Silent Running

It would then be on private land where we can’t hunt. Instead, it turned and ran right out in front of me. I still had a challenge because the deer was running at full speed, by the way if you don’t know they can run up to forty-five miles per hour. I then shot at it, just realizing it was a buck. I thought it was a doe when it was running through the trees. The horns were in the trees. I hit it in the back right knee. I then shot again missing. The coolest sound I have ever heard in my life…

“Okay, I can do this. I can run this 26.2 mile long race.” This was what I had been telling myself since the start of the week in preparation for my marathon — which was happening today. The reason why I decided I wanted to run a marathon was because of the influence of my sister. It was up in Okanagan where my family and I cheered for my sister as she was participating in the Okanagan Marathon. As soon as she completed the race, and although exhausted, I saw how happy and relieved she was, and…

State Track and Field Around this time last year, my brother, his 4x100 relay team, and hundreds of other athletes competed in Jefferson City, Missouri at the state track meet. The meet lasted for two days and those two days were completely opposite of each other. The first day was rainy and cloudy, there wasn’t many people there, and there wasn’t much excitement. The second day was nothing even comparable to that. It was sunny and hot, there were hundreds and hundreds of people there, and the…

The bright sun reared its ugly head and my forehead immediately began to perspire. My hand gripped Katie’s and we ran. I tried to focus on my mother. Honestly I did, but it was Katie’s scream which got me. I turned my head slowly as we ran past. I saw a glimpse of what would be our new life. It was Mr. Jenkins, or what looked like Mr. Jenkins. He was splayed out on top of his wife. His eyes slowly turned in my direction. They were completely grey. Heavily dilated pupils, cold, barren and…

Have you ever felt like you’re being watched over or something is just willing to take over your life?Well i’m quinn, I was 13 years old and this is what happened. Waking up to the sound of my little brother running down the hallway roaring like a dinosaur, as I get off my bed I get ready for school. I walked downstairs to go eat breakfast, as I am making myself breakfast my brother decides to make his own but that didn’t work out so good as he spilled milk all…

It all started in the high school cafeteria in July. A boy named Carmen and his girlfriend were eating a ham sandwich at a table. And then they noticed a pack of bullies going towards them and they went up to them and said “Hey” “What do you guys want from me? Going to steal my girlfriend huh?” Carmen questioned. One of the bullies said “Pshhhh...No” Carmen questioned “Ok so what are you going to do then huh?” Another bully yelled “WE WILL STEAL YOUR LUNCH MONEY SO YOU CAN’T EAT LUNCH…

I heard the gun go off, and off I ran. I tried to keep a steady pace as we rounded the first corner of the trail. A group of girls began to surround me and I could feel myself getting squished in the pack. Quickly, I pushed my way through the pack and ran faster to catch up with the girl in first place so far. We carried on, I felt my legs start to give out before we reached the one-mile mark. My legs told me to slow down, my muscles felt like they were going to collapse. Then I felt my body…

The sun is bearing down on me and my lungs hurt from taking in so much oxygen. My legs are about to give out, but the yellow finish line is only a couple of feet away. My rival runs with the same amount of force, not giving me even the slightest chance of hesitation. I have to beat him and that has been my goal for many years. I ignore the exhaustion, the weight of moving my body, and the pain in my feet; I sprint and finally, I feel the line press against my stomach and then the loosening of it…

through country after another trying to run around the world two times in a row without stopping nearly dying every time I needed to sleep. As I continued on my second journey around the world I began to wonder what I would do after I was finished running. At first I came up with a simple answer like sleep or eat a burger, but the more I thought about simple things or things I would do next in my life I realized I had no clue. Around the time I reached the edge of Japan I felt exhausted and like…
