The Roar of the Water It was a cold and foggy morning; Dylan was awakened by the beam of the sun in the distance, peaking over the canyons across the river. The sand was cold beneath his sleeping bag. He could feel that the first lair of the sleeping bag was wet due to the precipitation that occurred over night. As he crawled out of his sleeping bag, the exposure of his bare skin to the air brought an instant chill to his body. The remainder of the group began to awaken and arise to the crisp…

Upon first glance of this image, the eyes are drawn toward a young, dark complexioned child lay swaddled in a stained diaper without a left leg. He is sprawled upon several dirty pieces of the remains of a blanket. Lying amongst the battered blanket, the child presents an expressionless look upon his face. It appears that he feels no pain. what happened to him had no effect, and it is an expression that hurts. Another focal point of the image is the crib. It resembles a hospital bed rather than…

Imagine you are outside lost in what seems to be a never ending forest, with ungodly creatures and mass amounts of stars, plus a slight breeze of the never forgiving woods. You are trying to sleep in a green army tent with a friend right across the tent, with each of us on separate cots. That slight breeze that you thought wouldn't bother you sends a chilling sensation down your spine. You are trying to go to bed but the breeze is not going to stop. So you try harder but you can’t fall asleep.…

Fallen After a stressful day, Aubrey decides to go up to the roof of her apartment building in the middle of downtown Seattle to admire the lights of the vast city. She navigates herself toward the edge and takes a seat, swinging her legs over and allowing her feet to dangle. Aubrey stares out at the traffic of people who were just leaving their work that evening. A loud horn from an aggravated taxi driver causes Aubrey to jump, which then follows with her shoe falling off of her swinging foot.…

Here I woke at the crack of dawn and silently drove past the tracks of the Main Line. Here I hurried to a Celebrantes choir rehearsal to sing “Yesterday” by the Beatles. Here I drifted my attention away from the conductor, listening to the hourly chime bells ring the “Star Spangled Banner” at eight o'clock sharp. Here I made my way with others through the amphitheater into separate classrooms in Crossman Hall. Here I sat idling, waiting for my colorless substances to briskly dissolve so I…

As the sun rose on the horizon its gleams lit the waves of the ocean. The waves were very gentle that morning. As I progressed with my vacation at Cancun, Mexico I decided to take a quick run across the shores. While getting ready, I felt a tight squeeze in my lower stomach. It was such an unordinary sensation that I was going through and I was not able to understand exactly why I felt this way. But without minding these situations, I got dressed and headed out the door for a morning jog. The…

There was a rough breeze blowing in my face, and it was a cold day. The leaves were just starting to fall off of the trees. It was a nice fall day in my backyard, and I was flying my new drone higher than I've ever flown it before. It’s height was about two times the size of my house and it looked about a centimeter wide from where I was standing. I was just thinking of how great this video would be that I was getting when suddenly, the drone jerked backward. I tried to make it come back to me…

It gets stupidly hot in Danielsville, Louisiana, especially around summer. This would be fine I guess if we had something to do, to keep our mind off of the heat but there isn’t anything to do. Danielsville, Louisiana has three churches (Pentecostal), twice as many bars, one high school and no books stores or libraries. This means you’re either too drunk to read, or too Christian to read anything good. Big enough to have a mayor’s house, but not big enough to be on any map of any kind, it’s the…

Winter, two years after graduation. It’s a shame that I’m sitting in my apartment doing absolutely nothing. Maybe I’ll paint. But then again, I’m feeling very drowsy. It’s only 4 P.M. Must be the rain. Suddenly, my stomach starts to growl. I haven’t been grocery shopping yet so I guess I’ll make a PB&J sandwich. I turned on the stereo and ate. After I finished eating, I turned the stereo off, went into my room, and got some shut-eye. I jolted awake to the sound of my phone ringing. I looked at…
