Chapter 1 I awoke. There was a crash on the main deck. I heard a loud crack from above. I ran up the stairs and what I saw shocked me. The small wooden boat was completely in flames! "Help, help, somebody please!" I slowly moved toward the sound being careful not to get ...

Out of my love for you is conceived only pain However that gives me some pleasure Your face reflects the night of a full moon And your love blossoms and blesses my life Each day of the year they know, they know All know of unbounded and devoted vow And absolute obedience to your love You ar...

"Inheriting Murder" I woke up. I didn't open my eyes. I didn't want to. Natasha smiled in spite of herself. Remembering yesterday, who wouldn't? The way Marry Anne fell in that fountain in the mall after Billy pushed her, then Beth pushed Billy, and I ended up the only dry one, now that was...

With an exhausted sigh, Dirk Crozier unlocked the door to his business office at exactly 8:53 to begin another night of work. As he walked through the doorway, he threw his hat in the general direction of his coatrack. It missed, of course, but Crozier didn't bother to pick it up. He car...

"This has got to be the most boring thing in my life" Michelle said as her and Cassy followed the band around the museum. "I totally agree and I always thought this place would be interesting." The girls had been literally forced to follow the band around that day at the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. ...

Buzz, buzz, buzz, boy I wish he would turn that alarm off, it's just so not a pleasant way to wake up. My master does some silly things. Well I do have to go to the bathroom, so I should get up. I can't wait to see what other animals entered my yard last night as I slept. Sniff, sniff... ...

Back again right where SCRAM! left off at UTS'S house, we catch LENNY still in action running off camera (slow motion to be more dramatic). WALDO chases after him all the way outside to LENNY'S car. Back inside UTS'S house: Close up on: CINDY (Blinking and sort of dazed she sta...

The Dream Final Paper Praxis I Sahna Carmona It was late December, the drifts were piling up in collusion against the rails of the porch. Little could be discerned above the sound of the wind, wrapping itself around the northeast corner of the house. Restless, it continued to bully what r...

Love: Is it a Fairytale? "Love is...an all consuming emotion that encompasses your entire being.... love is pain and regret and contentment and overjoyment and friendship...love is the sweet and the sour.... love is the one thing that we as people all have the capacity to feel...love is the one pur...

A soliloquy for Judas Was I so wrong, so arrogant? Maybe it is right that I found my way here, a place where life has lost its plan, its blueprint. A land, I thought, so rich with promise when first I saw it. I saw diversity and young life springing from the ground. Only now I see t...

"Linda, why don't you meet your boy friend today?" "Oh, Amy, Are you crazy? Meeting a jerk like him right before my birth day is like a nightmare." "But still¡¡ It's your 20th birth day. Why don't you just call him then?" My boy friend, John, he has been acting like a jerk since when we were you...

One in every seven teens has tried it. If not tried it then at least seen it or smelt it. Some people do it for fun, others use it for medicine. Although it is illegal, it's widely used and known. You know what I'm talking about. Pothead, stoner, dead head, loser, hero. Those are only a fe...

Dear Dad, I know that you are angry and upset with me, and I understand why-but I also want to explain myself to you. I am too uncomfortable to talk with you in person and I thought that, by writing you a letter, I could say what I needed to say without either one of us getting too upset or fighting...

The Life Sitting on her off white, lightly flower imprinted love seat, Tira looked around confused. She had just woke up from a nap she hadn't intended on taking, but wasn't sure what had woke her up. Then she heard a knock on the door. She walked towards the door and yelled out, "Who is it?" Sh...

Who am I? I can not believe mama, no way did this ever happen? No wonder papa was never close to me, and threw me out when I was pregnant. Mama and papa always used to say how much I had disgraced the family name. I can not believe it. Mama was so rude to me, how dare her. After all she had done wor...

This particular situation occurred when the previous worker's shift was about to end and mine was about to begin, so I was not completely up to speed with everything that had happened and would need to be done on my shift, and the individual that was leaving his shift was likely just ready to leave...

A quarter of a century was to elapse between the time when he saw his father sitting with the strange woman and the time when he was to see him again, standing alone upon the red clay of a Mississippi plantation, a sharecropper, clad in ragged overalls, holding a muddy hoe in his gnarled...

Things Only Get Better "Evan." My eyes examined the words, "Evan Evan..." I repeated. It was written all over her binder. Not one centimeter without a heart or something else. I knew right then that she was in love. Riley and I have been best friends ever since I can reme...

Dear Mom, I think you've probably already noticed the length of this letter and are probably thinking that you won't have time to read it and that it's not important. Just so you know, this is not one of those letters with a joke and a funny picture at the end. This is something I want you to read ...

It happened for as long as I could remember. I was ten and my sister was four. I am middle- height with light brown hair, which goes blond in the summer. I have pale skin, and when the heat and sunlight touch it, my skin develops in to a sea of freckles. My sister has brown hair like mine. She is sh...

Writing Collage His tall slender build and big bright eyes are the first things I remember. I also remember that his brother looked just like him. He moved in across the street when I was eleven. He was the first guy I ever had a real crush on. He was always quiet, reserved; yet some...

OK... I'm going to ask you to listen very carefully. I'm going to be real straight forward here and I don't want you to think there is any underlying feelings here so take this word for word. The second worst thing you could do to me is not talk to me. The absolute worst thing yo...

Supposed you have many beautiful dresses in your cabinet that some girls of your age envy you because of that. Among those, you only chose five best to wear in the costume party.
