What Is This?

“Santa.” “What?” “Call me Santa.” “… What do you want from me, Santa?” she repeated. “See those gifts?” He pointed to a table in the corner, stacked with toys and appliances. “Wrap them. I’ll be back with more.” Suddenly the Christmas-y tentacles reached out and dug into Dianna’s pockets, taking her and her boyfriend’s wallets. “What are you doing? Please, that’s all of my boyfriend’s Christmas money!” “I’m sure he’ll be happy to know it was used to for good. Have fun with the elves.” He disappeared. After a moment of adjusting to the fact that he had completely disappeared, she stood up and went for the door, but she couldn’t get it open. She tugged and tugged, but nothing. She tried one of the windows, but they wouldn’t budge. As she was struggling with the window she began to hear something crawling along the floor. When she looked down she let herself wonder for a moment if perhaps she was having a horrible dream. Creeping on the floor were what looked like little skeletons wearing elf regalia. They twitched and slunk across the floor, the sound of their footsteps driving Dianna mad. “Wrap the presents, wrap the presents,” they whispered, hopping onto the table and trying to push boxes. She watched, horrified at first, but after a while she adjusted to the way they…

“It’s okay,” Joe said. “I can't imagine not smelling cow shit every morning anyway. It’s soothing.” We started laughing until we were both standing there looking at the other, crying. It was the first time Joe and I had spoken that deeply about being an Albert— what it meant and what it felt like. We crumbled at the same time and sat by the wheelbarrow and wiped at our tears and sweat, the liquids hard to tell apart. I ran my palms over the dry grass in the field like it was water, inviting and…

Maximum is one of the older Characters next to Fang (boy) at around the age 18. Both Nudge (girl) and Gasman (boy) are at around 10 to 13, and Angel is 11. Angel is basically Max’s daughter since Max had raised her since she was a baby. They all went to their cabin on the mountain and they were stunned at what they had seen. Max couldn’t take it any longer and decided to bring Fang with, leaving Nudge and Gasman…

you-tube before, must be a new low. Oh, I think that is a compliment, how old do I look do you think? Now I'm a little confused, why did you think I was an adult? Was it the fact I challenged you? Communicated in a grown up way perhaps, I would be really interested to know. You answered nothing of what i wrote, you denied that i have even read the bible without knowing me, you don't know my age or background. No, I went down your post topic by topic, answering everything, further you told me…

The Westcliff Wraith Hayden Andrews and her parents pulled up to their new house in Westcliff, California. “Well, this is it!” Hayden’s parents announced to her excitedly. What did they expect when they showed her this? “It looks like it’s 1,000 years old.” Hayden said, unenthusiastically. Hayden always seemed to have this sixth sense on getting good or bad vibes from people or places, and this place gave off major bad vibes. It was kind of weird, but Hayden decided to give it a shot. Her…

The United States is often perceived as a melting pot for all ethnicities to have equal opportunities for success and wealth. The extent in which this total equality has been implemented into actual reality is rather sparse. As history supports, ethnicity and race are still associated with social and economic oppression and abuse. For members of the population to maintain the ancient idea that America is primarily a white country significantly causes new generations of Americans to wrongly…

Sometimes you must let go of the people or animals you love. I once had a dog that i loved a lot. we would always play together after school, but then we had to move. The one major problem was that the apartment didn’t allow pets. The day we left, I had to say goodbye to my dogs. In the Story “What of this Goldfish would you wish” Sergei and the goldfish had been friends for some time. Sergei would always spend his days talking to the fish. In the quote “After his last wish, Sergei won’t have…

In this semester, I enrolled Eng194 class. I have learned a lot from these activities by homework, working in class and group work. I think there are a lot of knowledge that I can use in my student life. This class helps me to adapt quickly to the life and culture in my university life in America. In the first project, I learned how to writ a normal e-mail to the professor. In this project, I watched the video about worst example that has a plant of typical errors. I listed all errors that I…

Feminism is often viewed as a negative in our society as it is viewed as a group who are hateful towards men out of spite. The truth is that feminism has been wrongly accused of this from time to time as well as been abused by malicious people for their own gain. The true definition of Feminism as labeled by the video “ This is What Feminism Looks Like” is that it is a state of mind where humans just want to be treated equally. There is no mention of hate, only justice which is something which…

This course was critical in helping me transfer from the young adult I was into the business world. After dropping out of high school at a young age, most of the things that I learned in this class gave me the confidence that I needed to make the move into the new world of business. I received my GED instead of graduating high school, which proved I was smart enough to pass the test, but actually learning how to do things and communicate in the real world was not something I was very good at…
