Ginny smiled as she awoke. She had gotten good at waking up at twelve. Her body seemed to be so used to it, she woke at midnight naturally now. Ginny chuckled, how often had she been seeing Ben? It seemed like it had been forever since she had seen him, since she had heard his voice. There was an odd noise echoing throughout Ginny's room and it took her a moment to understand what it was. Then it hit her, it was rain splashing against the house. Ginny leapt from her bed, excited. She loved…

It was a starry night, Karan and I were sitting on my bed, it was about 9:00 PM. We both had nothing to do, I didn’t want to wake my parents, I had an idea; “Let’s jump off my bed!” That’s when things went downhill, sometimes we would flip or jump and do straddle jumps in the air. At the end of my pinkish, orange bed sheet, there was a bed post we jumped from. I told Karan to go to the bed post and do a jump facing the bed. When he jumped off he was beaming; when I saw him next, he…

mouth open, trying to scream, as blood flooded his shirt and chest. Eventually, he fell face forward, and he was dead. Now with 48 people, work was getting harder than it already was. We were sent to our cabins for the night. We surprisingly got to sleep in a little bit. Instead of waking up at 5:00 A.M, we woke up at 6:45 A.M. It was very pleasing. There was a mirror in the cabin, and my teeth were yellow and black, I needed a toothbrush, whoever would have thought that an…

I felt leather around my neck before I could be aware of anything else. What happened last night? I wondered. Did one of my exes have a fetish that I wasn’t aware of? Then I realized that none of my exes would have any clue what a fetish was, nor would they be able to execute it if they could. Jim was so strict about the girls staying on their level and boys on theirs. Faintly, I heard a voice. “Oh, God! Oh, God! Not again! I thought I wouldn’t… Fuck! Just… Fuck!” the female tone had an edge of…

When I woke up the following day and realized the day before wasn’t some sick, twisted unbelievable nightmare ending with a kiss, I felt much worse. Actually I felt seriously ill. I had a girlfriend that caused my mother to fuss over what I was wearing as if this was my first day of kindergarten. This includes her attempt of the tried and true spit on the finger cleaning and hair straitening method. I didn’t have the heart to tell her what I had on wasn’t my choice, but the school's new uniform.…

Waking from a long night's sleep, I start the day off by doing my daily morning routine. Usually, I wash my face, get dressed, then head downstairs to fix myself breakfast. Throughout the day, I use a lot of products that can easily be recycled and reused, whether present day or in the future, that can benefit anyone. Straight out of bed, I go to the bathroom. On the counter is a row of various sized bottles and jars containing the products I use on my skin every day. As usual, I go down the…

I woke to the sound of my alarm clock going off, “Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.” It was 7:00 in the morning; the usual time I get up to go to school, but like usual I slam on the snooze button and sleep for another five minutes. After hitting the snooze button three times I finally got up. Today is the day, our first doubleheader of the season is against Rockford. The coach is starting me at left field and it is my first game ever starting in high school game. I’m a Sophomore at Atwood High School; my…

Its day two alone, and I got no sleep last night. I built my shelter, well I used the plane, but it didn’t turn out very well because doing the work in all this snow is very hard. I didn’t have enough energy, and nothing was going my way. I patched the sides the best I could so I wouldn't be as exposed at night. I layered up will all of my warm clothes, along with some of my friends clothes, that he wouldn't be needing. I laid awake all night thinking about him, how I missed him. And I thought…
