The Naked Sun

My perfect day would start out with it snowing heavy outside around 5:30 and waking up in the morning to grab my bow and deer hunt. Around 9:00 in the morning I get in my truck and head and pick up my friends; Gage, Skyler, Klo’e, Dayln, Daffy, and Jason. At 10:00 we would go to salina’s paintballing course. When 12:00 rolls around we would go to a Restaurant to eat and I would eat tones of my favorite food like chicken alfredo, Pizza, and I would have cheesecake the best dessert ever. 12:30…

A Childhood Relic It is the October of 2009. My feet hit the smooth, cool wooden floorboards as I rush out the door. I am filled with vitality as I take in a deep breath of fresh air. It is a late autumn afternoon; the orange leaves are falling gently from above. The clouds dominate the sky, shrouding any sign of blue from my sight. I quickly make my way to the backyard where my bike rests. The leather seat and rubber handlebars are speckled with yesterday’s rain. As I walk up to the sleek,…

Summary: Beekle was born on an island where imaginary friends are born. This is where they wait to be imagined by a real child. Every night the sit under the stars hoping to be picked and given a name. Beekle waited a long time and he began to get very discouraged. He did something no imaginary friend had done before. He sailed through the sea and reached the real world where he would find his home. Beekle was surprised because the real world was not like the imaginary. Beekle searched but never…

I was laying in my bed, staring at the swirling blue and dull white colored ceiling. I was listening to the light morning rain slide slowly down my window, while pondering over my day. Then the phone starts to ring. "Gillian, please come down here," my mom pleads... My grandpa is dead, I choked at the thought of it... Getting out of the black polished limousine, I grabbed my moms smooth and chilled hand. I was holding a bouquet of lightly colored flowers, rapped in shiny gold on…

The enchanting skyline that travels for miles and miles; encaptivating lights that reach the stars illuminate the dark sky; melodies of busy streets and hustling people fill the air, all enwrapped by snow. This is the city that never sleeps. 8.5 million of us shine to enliven the streets of New York City, doing our best to last through the dark. These lights range anywhere from the holiday string lights to the billboards that clutter Times Square. No two are the same. All powered specific…

Would you rather go to a different planet to live and try something new or stay here on Earth? Because Mars One is sending people on a one way trip to Mars to live and start building a civilization for the other people here on Earth. So would you go live on Mars for the rest of your desirable life or stay here and keep living the life you already are? So reason 1 why you should go to mars with Mars One is because you still get t.v, internet, a cell phone, and everything else but it’s a new…

The Wet had awoken me again. Much like the patients of the hospice ward, it too had taken permanent residency amongst us feeble, withering souls. Its humid and ungodly presence magnified the discomfort I felt laying between the crisp, sterile sheets of the hospital bed. My senses were only exposed to the incessant beeping of heart monitors, the irritating glare and buzz of the fluorescent lights and the wretched stench of the Wet. But a soft glare from the moon that bathed the room with light…

Today began at The Evergreen State College parking lot at 8:43 a.m. where I met the rest of the class in front of the vans. At this time, the weather was extremely cloudy/foggy and 55 F. As I looked around the parking lot, I noted some spring flowers (I believe to be camas) beginning to bloom, clover, dandelions and numerous buds chirping. We left campus by 9:05 a.m. and from there we headed towards the Seattle History Museum with the goal of learning more about the Pacific Northwest’s history…

EN 281 Setting and characterization It was about 6 a.m. Saturday morning and it is an extremely beautiful morning; one of the mornings that makes you stop and realize just how amazing it is at that particular moment in the world. Everything from how nice the summer breeze felt on a freshly shaved face, how the cool water felt as it ran between the toes and bottom of your foot, the smell of fresh cut grass in air, the sounds, or lack of sound, that summer brings in when it is perfect outside. It…

dancing for me. They were swaying perfectly with the beat of the rope hitting the flagpole. The leaves joined in on the trees dance by falling off and landing gracefully onto the ground. They laid there, probably waiting for the heat of the sun to hit them. The sun was high in the sky, radiating heat to where I could feel it in the shady spot I was sitting in. Yet, the heat was the relaxing kind causing me not to be miserable. Soon, I begin to close my eyes and listen. The whooshing of cars on…
