Theo, flushed with anger walks calmly to the front steps. The wind briskly brushed up against Theo’s face. He knew he would never be caught at this time of day, no one could see his face.

FLASHBACK

Theo stumbles into Professor Knox’s psychology class, dreading the fact that he even woke up. His eyes feel so heavy he can barely figure out where he is going. But when he does he falls right back t...

“Cut the carrots!!” Eloise screams to her sous chef.

Marilyn cuts the carrots and tossed them into the pot.

Eloise and Marilyn drop their knifes and let out a heavy breath.

*Pheww*

“We made it!” They both scream.

Eloise looks to her competitor and nods.

“Competitors! Meet tomorrow at 2 pm and we will begin our final battle but for now you may go home.” Judge McKlinger annou...

“I was gone for five minutes! What happened here?” She said angered.

“Cut!” Dommie yelled. He got out of his chair and came storming up to Jessica. “What is wrong with you, you do realize we have two weeks to do this play, we can’t afford for you to play around!!”

“Well sorry if I can’t be as good as Gretchen.”

“What?”

Jessica runs off.

“Who said anything about being as good as Gretchen!” Do...

Life. It depends. What are your morals? There are really only four groups. Power, success, friends and family, and money. See if you want power your goal in life is to be the greatest and most memorable person. Success, you want to have the most merits and awards. Friends and family, you want to have a trusted and honest community. Money, you want everything, you want the unimaginable. But I want ...

“Thats so idiotic!” I scoffed.

“What you think is idiotic will help you in the future! I told you when you were fifteen years old’When the time comes, be ready” Mother said in a assertive tone.

“This isn’t what I want, shouldn’t I be able to choose what I do in my own life!” I yelled at mother.

She slapped my face.

“Do not take that tone with me.”

I ran out the room crying. Why am I doing this...

He walked down the street, lost in thought. Suddenly, a bright light caught his attention. It came from a small shop window, where an old book lay open. He stepped inside and saw a beautiful painting on the wall. It depicted a woman with long hair, staring off into the distance. He was mesmerized by her gaze, as if she were looking right at him. He approached the painting and noticed a small inscr...

Today is the day, it’s my mother’s birthday. When I was a little kid me and my sister used to pick flowers for her. They were always red roses. It reminded us of how in Alice in Wonderland they painted the white flowers red. I miss those days. Well we still give her flowers but it’s not the same. She can’t actually hug us and say thank you. The most we get is a wave good bye. I can’t believe she’s...

I’ve been running non-stop and nothing happens. The doctor told me that it’s genetics but I am the only one in my family who is like this. Maybe in the 20’s my ancestors were like this, but now I can’t even go anywhere without feeling ashamed. When the world is eco-friendly the first thing that comes to mind is healthy, fit, beautiful. Well I’m none of those. The sad part is, they make the clothes...

I always have a feeling its right behind me

But when I turn there's no one to be seen

I have a feeling that its inside me

In my head, in my thoughts, in my dreams

No matter how I try to get away

I never manage to escape

Through the smoke and through the rain

It follows me and brings its pain

I can always feel its eyes on me no matter where I go

It whispers to time and all of a sudden it goes slow

I woke up in a cold sweat, my heart pounding, as I realized that the nightmare I had just escaped from was only the beginning of the horrors that awaited me. It was challenging, moving down here. Painfully, it is the day we go. The day we go down. Every June it gets to hot underground and everyone must go down but little do they know there is stuff down there. Every year on June 1st I have these d...
