Sky Blue FC

I did not dare let go. As the apathetic wind blew, my grip tightened on the wooden spool in my hand. Wound onto the spool was a white nylon string which had risen several feet above me. The blue, diamond-shaped tissue paper at the end hovered in the sky, but it did not stay for long. The next thing I knew, the delicate kite collapsed down onto the ground after the umpteenth time that afternoon. But this did not discourage me because I knew wind was something not possible for me to control.…

Tomson Highway uses a variety of imagery to set the mood and the tone of the trek, as well as put the readers unto an atmosphere where Okimasis’ inner thoughts lie as he approaches the last leg of his race.…

A plume of black smoke erupted from the front of the car, causing Dale to pull over. He parked the rust-covered vehicle on the side of the road and stepped onto the sand, obvious frustration covering his face. He walked around to the front of the car and cracked the rusted hood upwards, a giant explosion of smoke and the deafening grind of metal against metal filling the air. Dark clouds loomed over the gloomy hellscape, casting an array of shadows down onto the sandy plains. He stretched his…

The fire was coming closer each time, and I got everything that I needed into my hiking bag, I started to run as fast as a panther to get out of the blazing fire which looked like a pathway to hell, my long red baggy pants and my green sweater started to slowly infuse into me since the heat since the blaze from the fire was deadly.

highway into a ditch and hit a tree. They said the cause was being ejected from the car due to not wearing a seat belt. As we rolled down the road on the way to the funeral home, I gazed out the window and I notice the trees were more barren and how the skies were so gravel grey bare. I was still agnostic, refusing to accept the fact that my best friend is gone and this time will be the last time that I will ever get to see her. The memories of the happiest moments…

hit the smooth, cool wooden floorboards as I rush out the door. I am filled with vitality as I take in a deep breath of fresh air. It is a late autumn afternoon; the orange leaves are falling gently from above. The clouds dominate the sky, shrouding any sign of blue from my sight. I quickly make my way to the backyard where my bike rests. The leather seat and rubber handlebars are speckled with yesterday’s rain. As I walk up to the sleek, steel frame of the bike, I catch a glimpse of my own…

Today began at The Evergreen State College parking lot at 8:43 a.m. where I met the rest of the class in front of the vans. At this time, the weather was extremely cloudy/foggy and 55 F. As I looked around the parking lot, I noted some spring flowers (I believe to be camas) beginning to bloom, clover, dandelions and numerous buds chirping. We left campus by 9:05 a.m. and from there we headed towards the Seattle History Museum with the goal of learning more about the Pacific Northwest’s history…
