The structure looked medieval. I could picture knights standing guard at the entrance way. I ran up to it and pretended to be a fairytale princess being carried in on a throne by four strong men. The crowd going wild cheering for me as I waved passed. After, I ran up the top and pretended to be a marksman, protecting the king from any threats nearby. I laid on my stomach with my imaginary Sniper, ...

Taking a 100 foot rope into the games with me wasn’t a mistake. It was chosen because of the versatility of the item. Using this item crossties can help catch fish to eat, it can be hung and used as a trap on the ground to hoist up any caught prey such as rabbit, or deer for fearing in later. Although non lethal on its own, with proper combat training this rope can also be used to harm and take do...

The lake was our vacation spot. We would go camping here every summer with the family. I remember the time when you tried setting up the tent and you just needed one last knot and down it came because of the wind. We couldn’t stop laughing at you scram inside trying to escape. It was always such an amazing time being out here with you. We would wake board, fish, throw rocks and just be ourselves. ...

When I look in the mirror, I see me. The me that was made from all my past experiences. The me that continues to try hard everyday in hopes that tomorrow is better than the last. I see the me who has discipline, courage, and a strong mind to battle these thought provoking demons daily. The same person who can sometimes get weary in thought. Allowing self doubt to overcome the emotions. It ls mysel...

Steven opens the door and gets in the car. A second later I hear him cry out in laughter. Curious what he was laughing at, I climb in and saw him still cackling, he was looking in the direction of the driver. I turn and took a double look, he was wearing a Yogi the bear costume. I chuckled right along with Steven and remembered it was national Forest Fire Prevention Month. The driver asks us to pu...

While on my night run, I saw her sitting on a bench slumped over. She looked like she was crying with her head tucked in her legs. It was a whaling cry, something you’d hear from a mother who just lost her child. As I get closer, the whaling slowly becokes what sounds like a growl. I’m beside the distraught figure, I bend over to touch her shoulder and the skin of her face melts off. The figure tu...

I walk around, shielded my the robes I bear. Enchanted with the ability of invisibility, I am not seen, heard or spotted. I see the exit. Guarded heavily by the undead, ready to rip and tear through my flesh. I make a mad dash, the robe flies off after getting snagged. I barely make it. The horde of the undead saw me, but it was too late, I was out. The memories come flooding back, having to find ...

The one who snorts and laughs at every joke, the one who isn’t scared to let the house get a little dirty sometimes, the one who can’t stop singing their favorite song five times in a row, the one who makes funny faces at themselves in the mirror, the one who can’t seem to ever get the steak just right after watching Gordon Ramsey, the one who was sits on the couch and wonders why life is the way ...

Another puff of the joint she brought and now I see it. Her smile when she giggles, her snort when she laughs. It’s addicting. We come here everyday after school and just hangout. We would talk about how our days were and what was coming up during the week. Her parents aren’t really parents to say the least. She picks up her brother from daycare everyday after she leaves from here. She will go hom...

Isn’t she just the cutest little thing? She gets so excited when she goes out with her friends. They chatter like there is no tomorrow. As much as she is friendly and kind, she can also be the meanest little monster around. Mess with her while she’s trying to eat and she becomes a ravenous beast ready to pounce. It’s not that she is worried about the food being eaten, it’s more of the principal th...
