A dark and dismal place like a ghost town not a soul stirring in the dead of night. You look around and see a shadow moving through the darkness of the streets. You turn but they're gone, an eerie feeling washes over you like a cloak. You feel coldness seeping through your bones chilling you to the core. This is what you feel like in Hallo Town, the skeletons hanging in the trees, the wind whispering through the town. Pumpkins burning and grinning at you with eyes and a mouth made of fire at every
Pilgrim at Tinker Creek After the winter, people look forward to having all the flowers begin to bloom again and birds begin to fly, announcing the start of spring. The grass turns green and people begin to be outside without five layers of clothing on and snow falling from the sky. Spring is when everything comes alive after the winter hibernation. My favorite time of the year is spring, when you wake up to the birds chirping outside of your windows. It is the time of year when you walk outside
Roderich entered the bar at the time he was needed. It was 9:00 pm on a Saturday, and the usuals slowly trudged into the bar. Next to him was an older looking man, with long blond hair, and enjoying his gin a little too much. The man sighed. "Son, can you play a memory? I'm not really sure how it goes. But it's sad and sweet, and I knew it complete, when I wore a younger man's clothes." He then turned away, back to his gin. Roderich decided, for the man, to play his song. The song was filled with
Balance. A word I’ve heard so much once I began high school…balance your schedule, balance your academic and social life, balance time with family and friends , balance your budget…whew!

The gym where I practice to win, the YMCA, is a place where I know who I am. It is a place I can go to escape my problems for awhile and release some stress. It is not the actual physical building, but rather the events that have occurred over the years. It is where I have formed some of the closest friendships. It is the place I have invested years of hard work for many of my accomplishments. To some it may seem odd that a place associated with sweat and physical pain can mean so much to one
A sport of endurance, a combination of saliva and sweat, and a stank aroma of staunch determination and pure will. Each champion poised like animals contained in a cage. These images are similar to the ways that Norman Mailer portrayed the ruthlessness of the sport known as boxing. Mailer’s hard-hitting imagery immerses the reader into the brutality of boxing through Benny Paret’s last fight, showing the champion’s descent from the greatness he was well known for with examples such as “he went down
Have you met someone so annoying that you just wish for them to shut up, but they don’t? That’s me, I'm Landen. I enjoy talking in a high pitched voice and coin collecting. I also like playing Xbox, Legos, playing with my bird and my favorite climbing anything. My personality is...odd. I'm not silly I don’t do anything out of whack, I don’t have funny jokes just immature ones. I'm not mature, far from it actually. I'm very annoying just ask anyone(that knows me). I like to say that I'm a nice

Someone comes up with an amazing idea but before she explained what she wanted to do, she wanted to know if she would get the amount of money she needed to make the software possible. After receiving the money, she worked for the same amount of hours each day because that is all she is getting paid for. She was more concerned about how much she was getting paid rather
I spent a good time yesterday! Even though the night was cooler than today, the movie was cooler than the one I saw last week. Have you noticed the slang word in two different situations? That’s cool! The word cool has become part of our lexicon through decades and not only because its coolest sound but also for its versatile. Since it is a word that deserves its analysis, this paper will be based on the influence of the word cool to the community through the history. It is true that cool started

I smash my way the through the dense forest bush, cutting through the leaves with my long sharp machete. The rain pours trough the tiny gaps between the trees. With my shaking hands I slowly pick up a large leaf, and place it under one of the many gaps. As the water steadily drips into the leaf I take a small look around. nothing but green leaves, dirty thick mud and lots of hollow bamboo trees is what I see. I have absolutely no idea on my whereabouts in the world but it think I'm somewhere in Asia

Death is the one thing promised to us in life, and in present times, it seems we are all trying to cheat the inevitable end. Some would say we are successful since we have extended the average lifespan to an incredible to 79 years, but we still die eventually. Perhaps one day we will find a “fountain of youth” and harness eternal life; however we don’t know when this technology will be useful for us and we have to cherish the time we have. John Keats poem When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be

As I recollect on what love means to me and what love should be i think of 5 basic characteristics
I perceive myself to be a well-rounded person and that, compared to others, I am equally as sociable as an outgoing person, a bit more physically attractive than the average person, a lot more academically successful than other students, and less spiritual than a person of my religion. With that said, I perceive myself to be a pretty sociable person, but my sociability can also depend on the situation I am in, the other people involved, and my mood; a physically attractive person: on some days,
