Walking

people – at the very least – slowly walking on the moving stairs? In our panic, we might assume they’re lazy and use that quality to silently lash out at them. If you chill out a bit, however, you’ll probably come up with a few excellent reasons for their stagnation. For one, it’s not possible to judge someone’s ability just by looking at them. No one’s walking around with a sign reading “arthritis” or “recovering from surgery.” And nor should they have to. Walking on the escalator is just not…

to where my window was and nothing was there I was horrified. We went back inside, Robert, Gilbert and I were talking about what we were going to do today. We thought about going to north central park around 12 a.m. Time passed by and we started walking to north central, Robert asked us, “What would you all do if a bizarre figure starts chasing us?” I told Robert “ I'd run and find somewhere to hide around the park.” We walked to the entrance of north-central around…

Tom Godwin’s “Cold Equations” and Ray Bradbury’s “The Pedestrian” both share similarities in their respective views on the effect of technology on human freedom and individuality in the future. In “Cold Equations”, if a human stows away on an EDS ship, the computer systems of that ship’s calculations for the exact amount of fuel needed to get from point A to point B would be incorrect: “Additional fuel would be used during the hours of deceleration to compensate for the added mass of the…

Of course, people can’t walk as far as they can drive and that is exactly why a shift to a walking culture needs to happen on a city level first. There is a phenomenon that calls “drive until you qualify,” which is basically an idea that people would drive further and further from city center until they find a big house that they can afford.

I was facing a building I didn 't know the name of, I started to panic, so I started walking. I wasn’t going to turn around and go back into the building to look like the confused freshman I was to get my mind in order. Therefore, I turned right at what I now know is Magruder and headed towards the library. Once there, I still had no…

Walking quickly, I passed three identical red houses, my tension sky-high. Will the dogs come after me when I’m there? I thought. My heartbeat slowly quickened until it was beating out of my chest. Why do I have to do this? My parents knew I was afraid of dogs, yet we went here. Right next to the three loudest canines in the whole city of Markham. Realizing that I was quickly approaching what was my greatest fear, I didn’t think I would make it home again. Gripping my green-gray fall jacket…

They had my hands behind my back and rushed me down the hall of the juvenile cells. “Come on man, I didn’t do anything wrong!” I exclaimed. The officer ignored my comment and we kept walking. “Where’s my phone call! I have rights!” We reached the cell and another officer opened the door and I was pushed into the small room, then they locked the door as they left. Hours passed, but I didn’t get to see the light of day then the lights for the halls turned off. Someone whistling walked down the…
