I ran my hand through my tangled brown hand and sighed. Today was eventful. One minute I'm in my room playing a video game and the next I'm involved with the fate of mankind. Let's start from the beginning. I had just gotten home from school... “I'm back!” I yelled as I unlocked the front door to my house and stepped in. My mom popped her head from around the corner and smiled brightly. “Welcome home! Go to your room I have a surprise for you.” She then returned to her post at the stove. “...okay.” Usually I didn't like the surprises my parents left. I do love them, but sometimes they can be a bit much. For example, for my fourteenth birthday last year, they got me a barbie. I walked down the hall to my room and placed my hand on the door
I come across a rear projection TV on the side of the road one day, load it up, and take it home. I eagerly spend a good four hours stripping it down and saving as much as I can. I end up with a 48” fresnel lens, two hefty speakers, a couple large capacitors, three glass lenses, and a glass mirror. Left over is a box of electronic waste and the particle board skeleton of a TV. I take the electronics to my local electronics recycling center, and set the wooden frame on the curb. I took 70 lbs. of trash and turned it into 10 lbs. of treasure ripe for projects, 30 lbs. of recyclables that would have gone to a landfill, and 30 lbs. of refuse that I had fun
It has been a long time since the people of Corrigan were evacuated. Every one of us had either been relocated or went to stay with family. It is as if the fire burnt the relationships between everyone. That fire was started in the forest and spread through the town like the devil possessed. Houses were burnt, homes were lost but apart from a few minor burns and scratches, no one was seriously injured. Some came back including us but I couldn’t bare bare the bad memories and feeling stirring me up.
The drive to tennessee was too long. I don’t enjoy sitting in our sedan squeezed between my two younger siblings for 8 whole hours. As we enter the downtown area, my mother asks me to give her directions to aunt Jane’s house off of our map.
I headed out first,swimming my way back onto land,I screamed as I felt myself get scooped out of the sea by some men and women,scared that the man in the blue car had returned. But these men and women were dressed in hazmat suits but without their helmets on. They looked over me as if they were scientists,asking me and each other several questions. I couldn't muster out any words, I was terrified, I wanted Craig to help me but I was terrified of what they would do to him. This part of the dream is very spacey and is chopped up. I hardly remember most of it. From what I can remember after they’ve finished me out of the water. They place me in this building, this building filled with children. They all looked genetically modified or something,
This little devil like boy was featured in a hilarious comedy that I unfortunately missed out on until I was thirteen years old, because my parents believed it to be too profoundly inappropriate for a young mind like mine. Me being me, I continued watching it anyways. This character has always stood out to me as my favorite. He never behaved how he was supposed to, nor did he seem to love anyone, but that’s what made me like him even more. He’s always making up evil plans to annihilate his mother or ruin others lives. He loves to create new weapons and technology that will help aid in his plan to rule the world. He even has a time machine that he uses to get himself into some unfortunate situations. From completely changing the entire
For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. [NASB Col 1:13-14]
My brow furrowed and I tilted my head, sure I had misheard him. None of this made any sense—the apologies, the guilt I could feel emanating from him. There was a part of me that would have loved to have believed that he had truly changed for the better. That he was repentant—at least a little—for his past actions. But this was all too perfect—too good to not be an act. That had to be what this was—some kind of facade that he was putting on with the expectation of … what? Getting me to go along with some plan? Getting me to do some kind of work for him and Ryan? I had no idea, I just knew that I still couldn’t even find my voice to even ask.
I woke up feeling indescribably. It’s the day I either go to the moon or die trying. It was a lovely sunny day and I had adrenaline already going throughout my body like crazy. I was so excited to get on that space craft that I almost skipped everything else that I have to do. After getting ready for the day I had breakfast which consisted of steak, scrambled eggs, toast, coffee, and orange juice. After that we drove to the Kennedy Space Center in a van and started preparing to take off. As I was getting ready I got an unexpected call from the space center that informed me that the Ibm’s numbers didn't match up with the handwritten numbers. I was well aware of the fact that if these numbers werent spot on I would be dead and I was determined
“Wow, even Alec has his limits, I'm shocked.” Anger helped force the sarcastic tone back into my voice. Nobody thought I was pitiful.
When I left school that beautiful Spring day, I had no idea what was in store for me. After another long and boring day, I happily walked out the building and was searching for my dad’s car. He was parked on the edge of the street and told me to hop in the backseat. He looked at me and said that he has a surprise for me. I was extremely excited.
The trailer door fell in front of me and made a thud as it hit the grass, suddenly the dark trailer was lit and my horse was illuminated, as he began calling out. I undid the “butt bar” and walked into the trailer. When I got to my horse, I took the coarse leadrope into my hands and untied it from the old rusted eyehook wedged into the board in the corner. Each step backwards off the trailer brought us one step closer, quit possibly into the beginning of the rest of our show lives together. I looked at Bailey, he threw his head up like a sports team throws up their fists at victory, and I gave him a solid nod.
One day, my brother was playing the game on the xbox 360 console in which I did not know of. Me being me, I made a joke about him playing the game, then I watched him play and thought it was pretty cool. Back then I was around 10 years old and at the time I was not into that ¨kind of stuff¨ cause I did not see no use of it. But seeing him play and not being good at it made me interested. I felt as if he can do it I can do it. I asked my brother can I play and he responded anxiously yeah. Since then I played the game non stop. In addition, I only played Grand Theft Auto V on multiplayer mode which was an action adventure video game series.
I have to get him now. I don’t know if I can touch him though. I mean, he is a kartoal. He is leading us somewhere. This is bad. Now that he knows that we know, he is going to try extra hard to kill us. I have no other choice but to follow him though. We turn into a forest. This is bad. He drifts behind us and pushes us forward. Kaylee shoots me a terrified look. I brought her here. I have to keep her safe. I try to smile to tell her that it is okay. That it will turn out okay in the end. The Beast guides us into a group of trees.
In… Out… In… Out… I think to myself, trying to figure out what just happened, but at the same time trying to think about it at all.
It all started after school, Im in 12th grade my last year until college. I had a English Assignment given to complete, I finished the assignment and headed to my Honda 2015, I got in my car and headed straight home. I felt weird the whole way because of the highway I had to cross, so I decided to call my boyfriend, Jahir. He answered but the line was slightly being interrupted. My car broke down unexpectedly on an empty, creepy highway, what made it worse is that it was dark. Very dark.I told Jahir about it as he was on his way to pick me up.
