Donut Despite its location, Dot’s Donut Shop was about to get famous. It was April 27 in Madison, Indiana. The air was humid on this Thursday morning, making your skin feel like used tape.

through my pockets noticing I lost my house's spare key. I banged and kicked and punched the door as hard as I could hoping to get attention from my parents and then, "creeaak." The door opened and I went as fast as I could to get a piece of tape or a bandage running into my parents who attempted to ask what happened. I couldnt find a bandage anywhere in the first floor of the house. I threw myself into attic searching for anything that could repair the doodle. I dropped back down to the first…

loud voices that sounded like Trump and Hillary as they howled at each other telling everybody why they’re better. I still had the bolt in my hand but I needed to hide it as someone knocked on the bathroom door so I said to myself please don’t see it, please don’t see it and opened the bathroom door and this little boy rushed in and said “I GOTTA PEE” as he pushed me out of the bathroom like a bull not noticing the bolt in my hand because of the mist. I looked around the area and it was the…

in society. People have become too fearful of someone knocking on their door and pushing religion on them. Likewise, people see religion as too organized and archaic, questioning why they have to believe in an invisible presence that is looking out for them or abide by the rules and commandments to be accepted into an invisible eternity. In Flannery O’Connor’s “Parker’s Back” and Eileen Pollack’s “The Rabbi in the Attic”, there is a gross imbalance of rigidity and laxness among the main…

In “55 Miles to the Gas Pump”, Mrs.Croom has to break into her own attic from the roof because her husband has a padlock on the door (Prolux, 578). Once she finally sees into the attic, “she recognizes [the women] from their photographs in the paper: missing woman” because there are numerous bodies of her husband’s victims. This is ironic because the Crooms live far away from…

What is a home inspection? A home inspection, as defined, is an examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, which provides a detailed 'snapshot' of the condition of the home at the time of the inspection.

found the fastest route to what is now Reverend Brown, and even passed through walls to get there. The spirit was at the door, waiting. It spoke harshly to him, flashing words before his eyes. Obviously it couldn't actually talk. After what seemed like an hour, Mr. Brown begged the spirit to change him back. Unluckily, it just blew him inside of the school. It pushed him into the attic on top of the stage. Like the ghosts, he couldn't control himself. Then Mr. Brown decided he was better than…
