Stand My Ground

dressed in my camo coat put my boots on and my orange snow mask, my orange vest threw the sling over my shoulder which is connected to my shotgun. “my dad laugh at me he says it too cold the deer won't move.” I said “I had a dream last night and I shot a eight point.” So I get a granola bar and leave to go deer hunting. I have to walk the whole property to get to my stand I finally reach it and start to climb up my deer stand. Woof finally reached the top that is a 15 foot climb up. Ch ch there…

Bullets whizzed past my head as I ran away from the action towards a nearby spring to fill my now empty pitcher. I had to make countless trips back and forth from the battlefield to this little safe haven. I crouched near the water's edge and filled up the pitcher. I peeked through the reeds and watched as men fired cannons. I took a deep breath and stood up. I ran back towards the battle field, water dripping down my hand. I spotted a soldier lying on the ground either taking cover from…

Great! Now, I have to wait about 5 hours. My face is as red as a tomato. My legs are shaking I look like someone who is scared of rollercoasters and just got off one. My mouth is watering my mouth is also filling up like a pool. Now we are only 70 people away. The sweat is dripping now so hard that I have to wipe it with a kleenex which makes a red mark on my neck. My stomach churns as if it is making butter. I feel like I have butterflies roaming in my stomach. Katy Perry’s heels are clicking…

different idea, with her sleek, dark brown fur and steal eyes anyone would be afraid of her. She challenges me, daring me to come closer to show me what she would do for her cub. This is my territory she seems to say, pawing at the vibrant green grass under ground with her huge threatening claws that could swipe me to the ground…

When we have marching band season, we sit in the bleachers at football games, cheering for our teams and singing songs with my friends. These are one of the many fond memories I have about the season. Fall is the best because of marching band, weather that is just right, and gorgeous leaves falling on the ground. Of the three reasons I love fall, marching band season is my favorite. There is something about sitting in the cold air in a pair of marching band overalls, a coat you can’t unzip, and…

knocked him to the ground. Now, finally in a position to retaliate well, I proceeded to punch the wolf repeatedly until it stopped moving and made a soft wimper. With one out of the way we turned to the other two now approaching us with precaution. Their paws stained with blood as they tackled us to the ground I swung my elbow up with intense force against its nose. With a loud crunching sound his nose began to pour out blood. The wolf breathed heavily and eyes closed as my fist met with its…

I walk into the festival theatre with eyes of wonder staring at the blank canvas stage. I take the very best seat so I can enjoy the first performance of the grand celebration. Everyone remains restless and cheerful as we wait for the curtains to be drawn into the sky. The performance starts. A woman as beautiful as an angel emerges through the darkness of the moonlit sky with hair as glistening as stars. As she dances through the clouds of awe - with music as her wings - and lights the stage…

Last spring my organic seed supplier had a special on pie pumpkin seeds. Naturally, I decided to grow pie pumpkins for the first year ever. The five vines I planted produced over 100 pounds of pie pumpkins. This left me with a problem: I can only eat so many pumpkin pies. I can only give my neighbors and friends so many pumpkin pies. I did find the pumpkins work well in pumpkin soup (something I've eaten a lot of lately) but I still needed something different. I recently found it: pumpkin…

to Bailey's POV* Great. I'm in a net, in the middle of a jungle, and nothing to do. I sat there for a while, dangling in the air. Hen I heard more rustling. I snapped my gear to the left, to see a man wearing a whole leather outfit, leaning against a tree. “Well, I didn't expect to catch a girl.” He said aloud. I rolled my eyes. “What do you want?” The man chuckled a little, then came closer. “I'm looking for Pan, do you know where he is?” Pan? Why does everyone keep saying that name?…

scorching hot outside. Fall has finally arrived and I’m back at school for another semester. Fall baseball has just begun and it’s time for the first scrimmage. I walk out of the locker room and put my hands over my laces, and step out on the concrete and hear that first crack of the spike hitting the ground. I head to the best spot on the field the third base dugout. The field looks great the grass is cut with a diagonal line pattern going left to right, the dirt is a brownish red color…
