Chapter 2- Abilities 2:30 p.m. 19th November, 2012 Math Class (Room 307, Ellis Public School, New York) School was boring as usual. Absolutely nothing had happened all day to warrant the way I'd felt that morning, and I was beginning to think that it might just have been a freak occurrence after all. To top it all off, I was stuck in the one class I hated...
Rebecca's Perspective If I had known that things were going to end up like they did, I never would have done what I did that day. The trouble all started when a black family moved in across the street from us. My husband took an immediate dislike toward them simply because they were black. I knew where my husband was coming from. I had been raised in the...

Luke either didn't have his cell phone, or he didn't want to answer it. It took everything she had to resist chucking her caramel latte across the room. Or better yet, at the nerdy kid with the...

Do you remember Love Story with Ryan O'Neil and Ali MacGraw? Well, this is a love story of sorts, this is Dog Story. No, Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, and Old Yella are not the dogs in the story, but it is a dog story, just the same.

"Get off of me!" I yell again. I try to move my head away from him and wiggle my body out from underneath him but he just holds me tighter, still smelling me. All the wiggling only managed to make me very aware of the huge bulge in the front of his shorts and now I'm starting to panic. "Please get off!" I'm almost begging.

Last fight for humanity. That's what it's come down to. There are six thousand human beings left in the cosmos. All of us are on this spaceship, the Maverick. We're quite a blend. African-Americans. Caucasians. Asians. Middle-Easterners. Latinos. Jews. Atheists. Agnostics. Gays. Lesbians. All of us huddled together on a city-sized spaceship constructed right...
Red scampered through the forest as carefree as ever. She'd loved these leisurely walks to her grandmothers house once upon a time, mostly when she was younger. Today was no exception.
