There’s not much to do, being alone and all, so I’ve been sitting in a folding chair on the porch for some time now. Scanning the edge of the forest, I realize I haven’t seen the white cat around in a while. Speaking of things I haven’t seen... A few days have passed since I met Ice at the grocery store. He’s been crossing my mind randomly, but I haven’t heard from him. I’m starting to wonder whether I imagined the whole thing. Either that or he was humoring me by asking for my number and never…
“You’ve read the story of Jesse James, of how he lived and died. If you’re still in need; of something to read, here’s the story of Bonnie and Clyde.” This is the opening stanza from a poem written by Bonnie Parker herself, titled “The Trail’s End”. The story of Bonnie and Clyde is definitely one that was remembered, which is what they both wanted. They spent the majority of their young lives together on the run from the police. The impact they had on the world around them is one that lasted…
My hearts beat louder and faster the further away we got from Santa Maria. Silence was the only noise that came. Besides the van's engine and graveling ground. In the mirror, I saw Roberto. A blank expression. I was hoping to seek comfort from, but instead all little hope I had left just evaporated.

already done and hair was almost done just needed a few touches here and there. My make up resembeled something of a movie star, never had I seen myself so beautiful. My hair looked so perfect fixed as if it was part of a fairytale movie. Long blonde wavy hair with flower pins…
“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same.”- C. C. Scott People think Tony Stark is selfish. Tony Stark knows he’s selfish. People think Tony Stark is only a playboy that doesn’t even know what love is. Tony Stark does know what love is. It’s Pepper, it’s always Pepper, and her eyes, her hair, her smile and her whole being. He knows the media lie. Pepper knows it too. (“Did Tony Stark cheat on his…
My father watched the dark, thunderous clouds swirl above our heads with anxiety swimming in his eyes, which were the shade of the metallic gray of our little fishing boat. The sharp taste of the salty sea air was heavy on my tongue and in my lungs. Underneath us, our plain gray motorboat rocked like a bucking bull. I clutched to the co-pilot’s seat like a child to its mother, watching the dark waters churn beneath us menacingly. “I’m sorry, Remi,” my father muttered in his strong yet raspy…
with the typical set, one mom and one dad. My mother is a petite woman, she stands at five foot four inches and she has the softest features. The women of my mother’s side all possess the same traits, these serenely crystal blue eyes and sun kissed blonde hair. My father on the other hand is six foot and has large goofy-looking everything. The man has dark hooded brown eyes, salt and pepper hair, and rough to the touch skin. I am tall and statuesque with hazel eyes and very soft skin so I got…

mean and were also ugly that is was disgusting to even look at them. They made babies cry, and everybody was scared of them, but they also had their sister who was always somewhere around. She was beautiful, she had pretty blue eyes and had luscious blonde hair, unlike her sisters, (they were so ugly that they looked like witches). Oh! Did I mention these sisters were very rich and powerful, they were princesses? But they didn’t look like it. Their sister, on the other hand, was always kind and…
"A dance my lady?" Beckett asks with a glowing smile his hand extended for hers. She giggles and takes his hand "You really want to dance with me when I 'm wearing this?" She asks her open hand gesturing to her simple half sleeved navy shirt and jeans, her usual work clothes for Happy Valley Preschool where she was a student teacher. His eyes travel over her body slowly, his lips curling upwards obviously liking what he see 's "I think you 're the most beautiful girl I 've ever met.." He says…
