... numerous and shamefully underrated by my dormant faculties, so rudely aroused before their time. But here was nature, determined to be wonderful with or without my participation, and somehow at some subconscious level, stored for future reference, I seem to have imbibed her subtle stimuli. Along the eastern shores of the night-sky a splash of colour would emerge. The all-night cricket band would reluctantly wane under the first gentle reveille from those "early-birds" of epigram fame. And then would come the most striking sensation of all: the smell of fresh dew on the grass - I think the terms "exhilarating" and ...

... I do not leave the house until the remote was found. I always knew he loved me, but his anger always got in the way. I tried my best never to make him upset by staying out of his way. I felt that I was the young boy in the story, “Arm Wrestling with My Father� because the only time we were somewhat close was during physical actions. A fine example is that he would never miss one of my football games but would not interact in any other activities with me. Our relationship now is a lot better than ever after getting some major counseling. After a counseling session, my father came up to me with tears ...

... filled his ears. Now he heard the shower hitting the water in the tub from underwater. Everything seemed a lot quieter now. Johnny felt tired and dizzy and glad to be motionless, resting, quiet. Everything felt perfect. The water landing was still a little warm, but the water filling the tub was the perfect temperature. Johnny couldn't think how he could be happier -- maybe if he didn't have to go to work in an hour, but right now that seemed a long way off. Johnny closed his eyes and rested peacefully, slipping in and out of a half dream of floating through warm liquid clouds. Suddenly, Johnny felt very cold. ...

... we questioned him about his numerous float trips down Current River to be extremely careful when we came to a fast moving bend in the river called Wallace's Point. He said, “Wallace's Point is lined with so many root wads (root wads are clumps of tree stumps, roots, branches, leaves, and whatever else might float down the river) along the banks, and it has so many sunken canoes and sunken logs along it's main channel that safe passage through it is impossible - unless you stick to the right side of the bend.� As we neared the end of a long straight away in the river, I noticed the speed of the water w ...

... and action, belief and reality. However, the beginning of the ninth grade saw a drastic change. Due to circumstances I had to switch school districts. No longer did I see my friends, I was like a little duck lost in a big pond. There were different faces, different looks, and a different feel. I can truthfully say that the first day of school was one of the worst days of my life. I had never been so far away from my friends. That year, nevertheless, still saw me pass with a 3.5 grade point average. Still, something was missing. My best friends were all gone. While they were busy enjoying high school togethe ...

... flight attendant said to us, "Welcome aboard the Pan Am 747 to London" while looking at our tickets to point us in the right direction. As I walked down what seemed to be an endless aisle of seats, I noticed a graceful all metal staircase that spiraled into the ceiling. The stairs gave off a feeling that a person has to have privileges to walk them. When we finally reached our seats, the seat belt signs turned on. I quickly hopped into the window seat and buckled my seatbelt. Soon the soothing voice of a flight attendant was giving instructions over the intercom on emergency procedures. I began to hear the whini ...

... quenching and replenishing that glass of coke would taste. This caused me to immediately jump out of the pool and run in for a drink. As I took a cup from the cabinet I saw in the reflection of the glass a blue sheet on the refrigerator. I immediately turned around and there I saw under a magnet, on the refrigerator, the summer reading list! I wanted to start reading as soon as possible. Although I wanted to see how many books I could read that were on the summer reading list but would not have to go to the library to get a hold of. My mother is a big book reader so I checked her collection and I found ...

... we drove down the street, the suspension on the car suddenly snapped. The car violently jolted to the right and the car was thrown off the road and onto a hill. The car was inches away from flipping but luckily no one seemed to be hurt. That experience really changed how I thought of my life, or so I thought. The next major experience was during this school year. I went out to a party one night, and I never expected to get into problems. I had a little to drink and I guess it clouded my mind so I had a lot more. I didn't think I was drunk until it was too late. The whole night blacked out and when I awoke I was in t ...

... still for about an hour then I shined my lantern on his eye and I could see that it was opened so I attacked, I got one of his pillows and suffocated him, I then dismembered his body in the bathtub so there wouldn't be any traces of blood to be found. I then put the body parts under the planks in the floor," explained the butler. "When we went to the house to check out a scream a neighbor heard, the butler opened the door and was real nice, he let us snoop around the house to show us that nothing was wrong. He said he had a bad dream. Then when he took us into the old man's sleeping chamber he started to get r ...
