Pink and Orange

As I was walking down the beach I saw a man holding a can of soda. He drank it all then threw away the can. I saw nearby a pile of cans that may have been from him. I went over, took a few, and found something very strange. There was an object aglow of…

Mr. Burke

It all happened one night when I was waiting for someone to come see me. It could have been anyone. I was sitting on the front porch swing listening to the sounds of the night when I decided to listen to some music. I started to go toward the door when I saw the most…

The Owl

On the way to work he saw an owl. It spoke to him, saying, “Walk this way. I have a little surprise for you.” But with the way the owl looked and said that short and seemingly innocent statement, he kept on walking trying to ignore the owl and his chants.

The Baby

Pam, and Renya are sitting at the kitchen table. Pam is crying from being yelled at by Russia. (Pam and Renya have been friends since elementary, but Russia came on the scene during ninth grade.)

Mica

“Why do you always have to be stubborn?This is a one in a million. You know, Mica, there are times in my life when I really, really don’t know you, and this is another to put on my list. Why can’t you just say yes and take it? I would’ve died to be able to…

Mary Ann

My laurel advisor had challenged us. Right away I knew it would be difficult. She had challenged us on becoming a friend to one of the “not ‘in class’”. What would my friends think? I would never hear the end of this one. I decided to take the challenge and give it a try. I…

Hunk

I walk down the street noticing all the flashy signs and lights. It’s Christmas. I usually go walking during times when things aren’t very good at home. You see, I’m 18 and the sixth out of 7 children. It’s just me, my younger brother, his name is Cole, and a brother right before me, Porter…

Joe 1

(There is a slight difference in Joe 2.) There once was a man named Joe. He was an ordinary man. He didn’t have much to his name, but he was proud of what he had, and it didn’t bother him when other people laughed at him for his plainness. He loved his life, and tried…
