The Travel Mishap At a Chinese auction, four people’s names were drawn for an exclusive trip to the Bahamas. The four winners arrived at the airport, ready for their tropical vacation, when at the last minute their happiness was destroyed.
“Well this is just fantastic, now isn't it?” complained Miranda Bailey.
“Ugh. I’d rather be stranded on an island than be having a ‘vacation’ in the middle of Ohio,” ranted Tom Hanks.
“Call my Aunt Marie, help her gather all my things. I forgot my phone charger and my coat, she lives 20 minutes from Cincinnati,” said Tyler Joseph.
“We shouldn’t even go at all…” groaned Eeyore.
For some reason their glorious trip to the Bahamas had to be swapped with a trip to Cincinnati, Ohio. But as some sort as compensation

Now, I bet you’re wondering how I know how all of this happened. Surprisingly, I was actually their server, even though it was a buffet (since it was a pre-planned dinner that was included with their stay, I had to serve them if needed).
“And what would all of you like to drink this evening?” I asked the group.
“Just water, but no lemon. Lemon in the water is just nasty,” replied Miranda.
“Like my mother always said, life is like a glass of chocolate milk,” piped Tom.
“I’ve got a migraine, so why not just some tea,” added Tyler.
“And I’ll take coffee, but black, like my soul…” said Eeyore.
“Okie dokie fam, I’ll be right back with that for you guys,” I said to them as I skipped away, trying to hide the awkwardness of what Eeyore said.
I came back with their drinks, and naturally they were off to get their food. When they came back it was slightly awkward, because I was just sitting there, so I decided to make small talk. Well, that small talk ended up being them telling me all about how they got there and how mad they were about it.
“Okay, okay. Yes, this was a pretty bad thing that has happened, but it could’ve been worse,” argued Miranda. “So what if we didn’t get to go to the Bahamas, but we still got to go on a vacation.”
“Yeah, we could’ve been sent somewhere against our will or something,” added
When I stepped out of the hot, airless plane into the bright, dazzling sunlight beaming down across the burning concreate, I felt excited and nervous. Holding my beach bag in my hand and slipping my Ray Ban sunglasses on with my other, I flip-flopped down the airspace. Overhead I heard the screams of gulls and the chatter of the small fluffy birds. I suddenly realized I had arrived to Hawaii. This trip was such an unforgettable vacation for me because I got to witness the beauty of nature that Hawaii has to offer.

“Not if you don’t know it isn’t real, it isn’t yuk.” Orson sighed but continued. “The funny thing to this day is…my brothers didn’t care once they found out it was me.”
'What should we drink?' the girl asked. She had taken off her hat and put it on the table.
I decided at this point that I wouldn’t wait for the rest of the guests, and walked in to mingle with the people who had already arrived.
Growing up in Jamaica, I enjoyed worship. I remembered looking forward to church. We clapped our hands and stomped our feet and made a joyful noise unto the Lord. We didn't have keyboards and drums. We clapped and sounded like timbrels. I remembered when I learned to testify and it helped me and several others to build our confidence. I would sing in the local churches when they have special events. I watched young people being filled with the Holy Ghost and I wanted it so badly that I would pray and ask God to give it to me. I remembered watching my mother and my sister speak in tongues and I so wanted to do it.
Author Shirley Jackson uses irony as an ongoing theme to trick us unexpectedly, only creating a bigger confusion to what’s actually happening. Jackson short story is truly stunning in the sense of uniqueness; she is able to show us this shift in paradigm. The Lottery is about a village that does an annual lotto during the first day of summer, expect the winner is killed not given a huge cash prize as expected.
“Wow, you’re on time!” I chuckled generously at his joke as we were shown to our seats. The chemistry between us started off kind of slow. The server approached the table and asked us what we were having. I order scampi shrimp with dirty rice, followed with a long island ice tea. Vaughn ordered fish and a glass of water. When he ordered water that brought up concerns.
When Carrie got on the train from Columbia City to Chicago she had only few cheap items in her trunk and her sister’s address on

I turned back around to my friends, and acted like nothing happened, but I was silent for the rest of the day. Little did I know that
The hosts come to our table and escort us to the buffet. The buffet is set up in a different room adjacent to the dining room. A long table is covered with a white table cloth. Large white plates start off the buffet line followed by multiple silver chafers. I pick up my plate and make my way down the line. Apple roasted pork shoulder with pan jus fills the first chafer, with beef tenderloin in the next. As I continue, I scoop garlic whipped potatoes onto my plate along with bacon maple balsamic Brussel sprouts. Continuing with the exceptional staff, bus boys line the room making sure the chafers never run low on their content. I head back to the dining room anxious to begin devouring my
Attendant: “Here are your drinks. The food will be out soon. Shall I carry your tray for you?”
Throughout someone’s life they will go to many places with their family, friends, another relatives. I have been on a few vacations that have made a lasting impact on my life. But one of the most memorable vacations I have experienced was with my cousins. I went to goa beach. Most of you probably don’t know about that beach but it is a very famous one in south India. I enjoyed myself to the fullest. The beach environment was enlightening. I would not have wanted to take this trip with anyone other than my cousins. We had a great time on the ocean sands and swimming in the ocean everyday made this vacation unforgettable.
“Gagandeep sir. We are grade eighth students. We were suppose to in our English class.” I murmured.
