Lucille could feel the slight breeze across her face as she rocked in her chair. The smell of turkey drifted through the halls and into her cell as she looked out the window.She always wondered what made the leaves change.What made anything change and, unfortunately, she could only chalk that up to time. Nothing stayed the same, her life and background made that perfectly clear, but day in and day out she sat in that chair; looking as the leaves changed, then go back in time as if nothing happened

It was pitch black outside as the storm raged on. Elizabeth Walker stood looking out the kitchen window of her one room cabin as she finished the last of her meager dinner dishes by lamp light. The lightening flashed and in its bright glow, Beth saw a horse silhouetted against the horizon, seemingly headed her way.

The constellation Virgo has multiple different origins depending on which mythology is being studied. Most myths generally view Virgo as a virgin/maiden with heavy association with wheat.

Like Dwight Lyman Moody had once said, "Character is what you are in the dark." Even when alone, your true nature shines bright. This message can be seen within "Winter," a short story told by my friend, Adam. The story takes place with a young man within a snowy, wintry forest, where those who inhabit it struggle with the constant blizzard that preys among them. Many leave their homes in attempt to search for resources for their families: food, firewood, and materials for clothing and tools. Young

Re-creation is when something from the past is brought into the present in some way, shape or form. There are many ways to accomplish this. Monuments exist to mark locations of events, and if some event or topic is of such a large size, a whole area of land may represent it. Another form of re-creation that I actually thought of before the ideas mentioned previous is a reenactment. A reenactment is when someone or a group of people try to, usually in a controlled setting, repeat an event that

The sky looked gorgeous looking at it in the night. Even the smallest stars shone with the moon. It seemed so quiet; just Pony and I, alone. I always had an admiration for the sky. The silence was interrupted by an engine from a distance. It seemed to be heading towards us by the headlights getting brighter and brighter. Seeing the blue Mustang, Pony and I knew it was Bob and his gang. The car looked dull and dark blue in the night. Bob and his gang flung out of the car. Bob shouted, “ Hey whatta

For the past two hours and twenty-three minutes a low humming had been simmering over the surface of a foggy inland sea. Rising and falling was the sound of a tide, though not a wave could be seen. The air felt thick with an unseen energy, as cold and stifling as the misty chill in the atmosphere. From time to time miniscule bubbles would rise from the icy surface, shining with kaleidoscopic light. One by one each bubble would pop, only to be replaced by a new, more beautiful bubble, each one shining

Have you wondered if there was something much more superior than earth, like a different world or reality? Based on one of my experience I come to terms that this world isn’t really what we see it to be. I had gotten off from school early one day last September. My plans where to take a nap, however I found my self-wandering around my house looking through old stuff in the attic. It was a bit cluttered so I decided to tighten it up a bit. There were old newspaper articles from the 1980’s, old
