(314) 493-6100 allent517@ritenourschools.org There seems to be a problem by Travis Allen It 's 4:00 am, my bed feels something like a cloud but less wet, laying facing the ceiling wondering if I will ever serve as a greater purpose other than grow up, get a job, get married, have a nice family, then die, you know the usual, none the less it still scares me knowing that one day I will die and no one will remember me or that I ever existed. Feelings of sadness soon swarm my mind until the alarm clock suddenly went off at 4:30 am which could only mean one thing; …show more content…

I started to pick up my speed gradually,

hoping that the car wouldn 't either but luck

sure wasn 't on my side that morning, the car

shifted speeds as I did, which at this point I 'm

pretty sure we both knew that we were on to

each other so I cut to the chase and book it!

Lighting seemed like a turtle compared to me,

I ran so fast that I didn 't realize I was already

at the front steps of my school in 6 seconds.

Thoughts of fear and excitement paraded

through my body as I sat Twitching to tell

somebody about what I had just experienced

but then I remembered that the only friend I

not going to come I began to dig into my

lunchbox picking at my

It was only eight in the morning and his room was more of a mess than it usually was, plus, worst of all, he didn 't have a single pair of shoes that matched the floral skirt settled upon his waist. He bought it just for that damn pair, those adorable, dainty tan shoes, and now, the thing was useless.

Jack Davis uses an authentic voice through the implementation of genuineness that’s evident through his lack of biasness. Jack Davis doesn’t degrade the characters of those such as Neville and Neal, instead exhibiting attitudes in response to the context of the story.

Displeased her pretty dress was covered in blood and tomato juice, she had stripped down to nothing and had begun to walk away from the scene of the crime. The guards charged her with indesentcy and destruction of property after trying to restrain the young Fae and she knocked over the dead man 's tomato stand in her attempt to run away.

It was a while before the last stroke ceased vibrating. It stayed in the air, more felt than heard, for a long time. Like all the bells that ever rang still ringing in the long dying light-rays and Jesus and Saint Francis talking about his sister. Because if it were just to hell; if that were all of it. Finished.

I am from the grass fields to busy roads, from tracks to trails. (Rough, Twisty, covered with many tiny stones) I am from the empty parking lots and sidewalks. The swift, fast-moving kid whose neon green and black kicks I remember as if they were my own. I am from the cushioned, leather couches to hard, wooden stools, from the flat screen tvs to projectors.

It’s a weird Thursday morning in the town of DeWitt, Iowa and I’m drift to school and the day, weather and people around me on the bus are just giving me a creepy vibe. As usually the bus driver is stressed because conditions are not ideal for driving and the kids are all going crazy and I have no clue what’s going on. Usually when I hear stuff like this I want to know what’s up, but at the same time don’t want to speak to anyone on the bus, so I didn’t think it was a big deal. Then I get to school, go to first block, which was basic drafting at the moment, and there is still a curious feeling in the air, so I asked Bob, a short red head, what was going on.

I overslept because I had gotten off late the night before, and had arrived expecting a lecture. We were doing a group project, and the look my professor gave me sent ice through my heart. I sat down with a group of girls whose names I didn’t know but were always nice to me, and kept my head down and covered the entire time, filled with a fear I had never experienced. When everyone got up to leave class, the sudden movement was too much for me, and I bolted from class, hyperventilating all the way to my car. I don’t know how long I cried, but I called into work, saying I had thrown up.
