I was sitting pretty unlike he had seen me before, my braids were gone replaced by long flowing dark brown hair, and dirty pants replaced by a black fitted dress, that showed all of my glorious curves, and they were glorious to me, seeing how I was so straight up and down for years.
My nails... ( added 114 days 1 hour ago.) |

Mulaykah (8)
It has been 8 years to the day I last seen my best friend, Andre.
My family moved away from the home that I grew up in until the age of 13.
I had begged that we not move, if we didn't really have to. But I guess they felt we had to, two weeks later we packed our bags and our things that... ( added 114 days 2 hours ago.) |
Can You Teach A Writer How to Write? -
Hannah Quinn (18,283)     
Hannah Quinn  
Yes ! (and) No!
This is a common and interesting debate, and often carries a touch of snobbery about it - on the anti side that is, which doesn't automatically make the anti side incorrect. But, is it?
First, what does it mean: teach writing? Obviously, we are all taught to write... ( added 171 days 20 hours ago.) |

Nothing happened. "Oh, come on," Rudy said, reaching up and pushing the button again, this time a little harder.
Still nothing. The door refused to open.
The button on the small wire was rigged to open the door, and if the button was pressed the door would slowly roll open. It did... ( added 172 days 2 hours ago.) |

The loading door, or what could have passed as a loading door, was not very tall, but it was wide. The height was around eight feet, the length more than twice that. The width ran along the wall almost to one white corner, or actually to both white corners since the door was in the exact... ( added 173 days 13 hours ago.) |

Michael Ramzy
He stood very still, almost like a statue. There was nothing around him, no clue as to where he was or could be. All he saw was white, not a milky white haze or fog but a real whiteness that blinded him. The room he was in was large, like a rectangular hall. All four walls were white. The...

Jim, now with his back to the hallway, turned and tried to head towards the front door. Murphy moved in his way, knocking Jim down.
"Jim, I'm telling you, just let this happen."
Jim crawled backwards and stood up. He waited for Murphy to come at him a little and then he would strike.... ( added 215 days 9 hours ago.) |

He saw Murphy's back, lowering down as to pick something up. Murphy's sister was there also, the dark figure, and was pointing at the ground. Murphy shouted something at her but Jim couldn't make it out. She lowered her dark, gangly body down as well and when they both rose together, they were... ( added 215 days 9 hours ago.) |

That sounded like McCoy, Jim thought. They two looked at each other with wonder stricken across their faces.
"Dude, what was that?" Jim asked.
"Um, well, I bet it was nothing. Hey, wait here, practice some scales and I'll go check it out, alright?" Murphy put his guitar down and exited... ( added 215 days 9 hours ago.) |

The two exited the room, Jim following Murphy down a small group of stairs into what seemed to be a garage converted into a rehearsal space. The large room was covered in carpets and egg crates, to help produce a better sound in the room. There was a nice 6-piece drum set and a wall of... ( added 215 days 9 hours ago.) |

Jim approached the door to the mysterious house. He looked around for a moment, trying to see through the small windows next to the doorframe. He could see a light on inside and shadows of people in the back living room. He stood straight up, took a deep breath, and rang the doorbell. Jim waited.... ( added 215 days 9 hours ago.) |

Jim climbed into the Beretta, shutting the door behind him. He laid the back of his head up against the headrest and closed his eyes. "This is my ticket out," he thought. "No more cleaning up after wasteful, rude richies. No more disgusted looks from them. No more of their crap." A small smile... ( added 215 days 9 hours ago.) |

Today was the day for Jim. Everything was finally going to change.
Jim, wrapped in a towel covering his recently showered and cleaned body, was searching through his closet, looking for the perfect shirt to wear. Hung in his closet were rows of button-down work shirts with "Jim" plastered... ( added 215 days 9 hours ago.) |
"Why We Make Mistakes" a Book Review -
 - Dianne Lehmann (5,838)  
Dianne Lehmann
Written by Joseph T. Hallinan, "Why We Make Mistakes," is a clear and well written look into some of the inner workings of the human mind. While he does devote one small chapter at the end to advise us on how to make fewer mistakes, that is not the main concern of the book. So if you are thinking... ( added 218 days 7 hours ago.) |

Michael Ramzy
She sat on the swing, the thin metal chains holding it under her small figure. She looked across the playground and saw him coming. He had his baseball cap pulled down over his eyes, as always. She smiled.

I glanced at the photo, then turned my eyes back to the vial of medicine I was stretching my hand out to. I was only inches from it when I stopped. I was kneeling in the elevator with my arm out and I just stopped.
The man continued to choke and clutch his chest, but I could no longer hear... ( added 245 days 16 hours ago.) |

"Are you all right?" I asked. The man was quite heavyset, his large blue suit rumpled from both the humidity of the day and the weight it wrapped itself around. Although crumpled, it was still an expensive and well-tailored suit. It might be hard to imagine a very large man with a... ( added 246 days 13 hours ago.) |

Irony is not what I think of when I think of a rickety metal cage which rockets me up to the top of my apartment building every night when I get home. I never really thought about it before, to be honest. Yet if I had, I certainly wouldn't think of anything as dark or dramatic as irony.... ( added 247 days 10 hours ago.) |
Just Why Are Palindromes So Good? -
- Cameron Home (287)  
Cameron Home
Like always, I shall start on a question I have lately been pondering on. Palindromes, why are they so good? All they are words and phrases backwards. Some are boring and plain like Bob and Hannah but others are amazingly witty and interesting. What has gotten my mind interested in such things is... ( added 248 days 5 hours ago.) |

I just finished teaching Sunjata, the epic about the king who began the Mande Empire in West Africa. Now I'm moving onto A Thousand Splendid Suns .

Territory split among us comes between us
All we know, we leave behind.
Leave behind a world where we were

All we ever knew, we knew as brothers
