Ok boys. Tomorrow night we will be attacking Ralph's camp and our objective is to get Piggy's glasses. I'm not expecting any injuries or any deaths. All we need is to get the glasses.

One of the most famous caves is the center of a local legend that is said to be a rebellious…

Fear is my biggest weakness. Fear of being out there, alone. It was one of those hot summer mornings; a gust of warm wind brushed against my skin. I was standing before an old rusty gate of my new high school waiting for someone. Ever since we moved to California, Lily, was the only friend I had. She had dark hazel eyes that bubbled with hazing richness and expensive taste. Her silky hair was a soft brown, like the bark of an oak tree, not dark but simply gentle in any light. I met her at a…

crabs and sand fleas, which were very pale and white. Still to this day I can smell the ocean, salty and breezy. The smell of the ocean is really different than in Illinois. In Illinois, we have more of a farmland and dusty smell, not as fresh as the beach air. The first event my family and I decided to do was snorkeling at Destin Harbor. It was pretty exciting and a neat experience. We had to put on goggles, snorkel, and fins. This way we could explore the sea life out in the ocean. My…

My mom and dad…
