The Road

startling the travelers into action. They quickly sprinted past the figure into the uncharted area of the field to the west, narrowly escaping the figure’s grasp. As they ran further and further through the field, a street came into view. It was a paved road with streetlights, along with the occasional lonely car rolling past the fields. The travelers were overjoyed by their newfound discovery of an escape route, but the feelings soon faded, as there was a rather large obstacle in their path. A…

Imagine three senior girls piling into a small tan beat up car. It’s just like any other day, the sun is shining and they are all laughing and having a good time. They are going out to get something to eat during their lunch break at school because their school allows off campus lunches. One out of the three girls buckles their seatbelt, the other two did not even think about buckling. They pull out of the parking and start heading to Dairy Queen, the music was cranked up too loud and the sun…

the car we couldn’t even see. The car began to make weird noises and slowed to a stop, making everyone very uneasy and worried. We were already stuck in the storm, and it was bad enough to drive through, and now we were broken down on the side of the road during the storm, with no clue as to why we were broken down. My grandparents and two of my cousins got out of the car to check and see what had happened and why the car stopped. After looking around, and checking everything, they noticed that…

Brennan was excited for this road trip. His son would be arriving in less than a month, so, this was his last chance to just let loose and have some fun before fatherhood. New Orleans was the perfect vacation spot too: he and Andy could spend the entire weekend visiting every bar in The French Quarter. Plus the food on Bourbon Street was amazing too. So, it would be one hell of a weekend. Brennan wandered through the gas station aisles, debating on which snacks he would like to purchase. He…

I am wandering down the road. Right down the very middle, marked with a dotted yellow line, worn from years of wind and rain. My new cane taps in front of my feet. A tap with every step. Tap on the right. Tap on the left. Over, and over, and over. That’s the only sound I hear. The only light comes from a lamp post on the corner of the road, and also marks the end of town. I may not be able to see it anymore, but I know it is there. The other end of town is marked with a painted wooden sign…

A Simple Story of My Past The day I could have died could easily be considered as one of the most important events of my life. It permanently changed my view of the school system and how politics have infiltrated it. As respect for it plummeted; respect for my Mom soared. From it I have learned the importance of facades, confidence, and connections in maneuvering bureaucracies at an early age. The Middle School that I attended was positioned atop the hill in the beach town of Laguna Beach.…
