They obviously don’t have the training to properly bag my medicine!” Mrs. Mitty complained while putting the bag in her purse.

Collision Conclusion Pieces of shattered, jagged glass surrounded me as I tasted the downpour of salty tears streaming down my face. I looked around appalled while the wet, gelid air moistened my hair and wondered; what would I do next? I had no control over what had just happened, but after a while, I knew everything was going to be okay.

last grains of sand falling. I heard something, I turned around its my mother. Before I started to walk, I fell in to the freshly laid snow.

Everything went black and then parts of my life started to flash in my mind like the time I learned how to ride a bike, the first tooth I lost, and the first kiss my…

About a week ago, I was on my computer looking at the map around my town creating a bike route. I usually just grab the bike and start pedaling until I get tired and then turn back but, this time I wanted to be away from the asphalt. Being born and raised in Dominican Republic and loving mountain bikes, I grew fond of wondering in the woods and exploring new places. I currently live in The Bronx and here, a mountain bike usually only dreams about its first name; So if i wanted to see the wild,…

SLAM! The door closes with a crash as I awake from my slumber. As I crawl out of bed and start walking to the door, I hear an unfamiliar noise coming from the kitchen that sounds like sobbing mixed with mumbled curse words mixed under someone’s breath.

Lego land 2009 It was July 9th 2009 my 8th birthday, and at the time my life was consumed by my obsession with Lego sets, even though I was known to rage when I couldn’t figure out a difficult part. We were visiting family in California and it just so happened that it was my birthday. And my parents surprised me with a day in Lego land. As we drive up to Lego Land, about every 500 feet there is a letter made out of Legos, W-E-L-C-O-M-E, it spells. After we got our ticket to park we found…

doesn’t like to take it off her back unless she’s somewhere safe, like the RV, but it will be impossible to get the man out of the almost canyon with it on.
