    The other day, while standing on the elevated train platform, I realized that it’s always the same people waiting for the same train. Morning after morning, the same commuters wait while knowing a little bit about each other; who has a new bag, who brown bags it, who got a haircut, if someone is late or on vacation. We know all of this about each other without ever saying a word. In fact, we don’t even look at one another. I share my mornings with anonymous friends I never talk to. There I stood

    Talia Pocket Watch

The pastor continued to drone on about her father. What a good man he was, and what a great loss it was to their community. She smiled bitterly. Not many people had actually liked him. One could only describe her father as guarded. She pulled the sleeves on her sweater back over her wrists and tried to tune in for a bit. She eventually

    The Website appeared rather easy to navigate; there was an icon next to the screenname 2FunLovers4U labeled private pictures which Heather proceeded to open. “Oh my,” she gasped when the images came into view. There were several thumbnails that, when clicked upon, filled the screen. They depicted an attractive white couple, in their thirties maybe, fully exposed and with their faces in view. The man was more than well-endowed and from his macho poses wasn’t afraid to advertise the fact. Likewise

    “No, don’t back out. Say what you had to say.” Zane said. Malice watched Zane and considered telling him, in the end he said, “We’re more than just demons.” “I know that, we’re hybrids.” Zane interrupted. “Will you shut up and listen?” Malice snapped. Zane detected that his happy-go-lucky friend had vanished and had been replaced by an alter universe version of him. Zane held up his hands in order to indicate his surrender and urged him to continue. “Like I was saying, we are more than demons

    “Maxen? Say something. Please. And above all, promise me you don’t hate me.” Like a fish gasping on land, Maxen’s mouth opened and closed, yet no sound emerged. His legs gave way, and once his kneecaps cracked against the floor, he closed his eyes, tears carving their way down his cheeks. Audra knelt before him and wiped away the tears caught in the fresh stubble darkening his jaw. This news was a lot to absorb, and she would not push him to speak until he was ready. After taking several long, shuddering

    The Finger That Will Never Heal Cristina Welsh “Close the door. Close the door! CLOSE THE DOOR! I said CLOSE THE DOOR!” I heard this and assumed a bee was circling around her head. I was laughing until I heard the pain and agony in her voice. I shut the door afraid of what was happening. Then I saw… My little brother Gavin had just scored three goals in his soccer game. This is the most he had scored all season, keep in mind he’s only six years old. The entire family, Mom, Joe, Gavin, Mackenzie,

    These three main factors are dependent on each other, and we are missing one part of them, we will find a hard time to be a successful family. The parallels I can draw from these points are, if we are close to each other, we will trust and support each other, and when we start to support each other to overcome the obstacles in life, we will be happier together as a family. That was just one example of many how they are dependent on each other. Something

    Lord of the Flies

    • 8 Pages

    Hidden inside every human being is the urge to obide by law and authority and to act civilised, but hidden much deeper is the temptation to resist acting lawfully and resort to savagery. Sometimes, these two impulses conflict with one another and people are confused as to which desire to follow through with. William Golding’s Lord of the Flies and John Polson’s Hide and Seek are two prime examples that demonstrate the conflict between civilised behaviour and savagery through their characters’ cultured
