Most teenagers would not be excited to give up their phone for a week so that they could live with a group of teenagers whom they had never met previously so that they could spend time during their summer vacation doing service while at school; however, that is exactly what I and each of the other participants on my Adventure WV Habitat trip did at the end of this June. I really enjoyed this trip because although most people could not imagine spending a week disconnected from technology, I…

Two zombies tried to cut us off. Dean ducked the one's outstretched arms and I struck the other with the stock of my shotgun. Neither of the undead would be denied, though mine had to pick itself up off the pavement before it could resume the chase. We made it to the brightly painted red door and I gave a yank. Nothing. I pushed and pulled in desperation, trying the latch for all I was worth but still nothing. It held fast. The reanimated creatures were getting closer and we were running…

The third stanza begins with the moment of Zeus’ ejaculation or the sexual orgasm that he had (‘’ a shudder in the loins engenders..’’) There is also reference to the trojan war (‘’the broken walk, the burning roof and tower and Agamemnon dead’’) that was very damaging.

A light drizzle tapped the roofs of houses, and the heads of people. A large storm came in a few days ago from the east and the remnants are still lingering throughout the air. Cold, and muggy, the air clings to the faces of bystanders. The paper white breath of people stay in the air for a split second and disappear after only a few milliseconds. Wind dashes throughout the town. Weaving in and out of alleyways, through the streets, and over the top of buildings. Smoke billows from chimneys.…

If anyone acted in a manner that was disrespectful towards the emperor or his advisors, that person would be immediately executed and his/her family would suffer the consequences.
