    I had purchased a commercial-residential high-rise, including the rights to the back rent, which I got at a substantial discount. However, after deducting what I owe, I was still just the proud owner of mortgage papers. My joints ached as I made my way down the hall. Ten years ago, I was a florist until my doctor diagnosed me with arthritis. I resolved then to get enough funds to draw back and live as comfortably as I could. Buying poorly managed buildings, casting out the dead beats, up the rent

    5 Birthday Secrets On our way from the professor’s office, it was so dark in the streets I almost tripped on the end of the sidewalk. Then I remembered that it was our Birthday today.

We both turned around and said "HAPPY BIRTHDAY." then "JINKS." We had cake, ice cream, and all that stuff [even a soccer ball piñata.] it was all so fun. After the party

    Many jazz artists as we know it are quite talented. Their talents are unique in that they can translate human emotion through singing or playing their instruments.

    Disputing the Canon I was in the best of settings when I realized that Shakespeare was indeed great. My freshman year in high school, I had English class with an esteemed teacher, Mr. Broza—hailed as the Paul D. Schreiber High School Shakespeare aficionado, founder of Schreiber’s Annual Shakespeare Day, and, perhaps most heart-warming of all, a self-proclaimed Shakespeare lover whose posters of The Bard could be found as wallpaper in his small office. How lucky I thought I was. Indeed, if I wanted

    The children disappeared into vapor as she continued to tumble and by the third to last step of the staircase the knife was firmly working its way up through the witch’s jaw inching its way closer to its hilt. Soon it completely severed her tongue, and making its way into her sinuses. With the pressure put on the knife from being slammed into the second to last step, the knife began cutting into her brain.

The naked eye——a painter’s

    Deep in the thick swamps and woods of Northern Gulf County, amidst the buzz and sting of mosquitoes, chirps of squirrels, and swirls of the Apalachicola, is a long-lost story. One hundred and eighty years ago the town of Iola sprang out of the cypress swamp of what is now north east Gulf County. That small community, was, and still is an enigma in the wilderness of territorial Florida and has all but faded from the memory of Gulf County and is nothing but a boat ramp now. You cannot discuss
