... I just thought to myself, "yeah, whatever. Ross is okay, nothing bad happens to him. What could possibly be wrong -- after all, he's my brother." I still didn't realize what had happened, until I heard my Grandma on the phone saying Ross had passed away. As these words came out, I went into a horrifying shock. It was one of the worst feelings I have ever felt and probably will ever feel. I didn't know what to say to anyone, I didn't want to talk to anyone, especially my Mom. I imagined how my Mom was feeling and began to sob even more. "October 6, 1998 - - - a day of doom." I thought. Memories washed over me ...

... had a little bit more strength but light had a little bit more cunning. They continued to fight for a very long time until one day the light was tired and she called to the dark. "We must create beings that will give more meaning to our lives for we must live together for eternity." The dark agreed and so it was settled. They would conceive two new beings. One would be female the other would be male and the two siblings would be fertile and give birth to the universe. The light gave birth to a god, the first god, and his name was Thrakath. He was the creator of the universe and the son of the light ...

... directly in front of me. A woman of widowed stature now stands before me, amongst the fog, as if to hesitantly say something to me, but doesn’t. She watches attentively as the four men, who are appropriately suited in black trousers with brilliantly colored brass buttons, gently lift the coffin from the hull in the back of the vehicle. The hearse rises an inch or so above the tires, due to the strenuous weight of the beautiful silver coffin. A faint shiver whips through the chilled wind as the frozen handles of the coffin are reluctantly grasped by the eight men in black trousers with brilliant brass button ...

... moving to my nose, and then the rest of my face. After I rinse my face I dry my face I start to get dressed. First I pull off my pajamas. Next I put on my socks, the left one first then the right. Following my socks I put my jeans on, both legs at once. I then put on my shoes, right then left. I put on my shirt which is always 100% cotton. Now that I'm dressed it is time to fix my hair. I pull my hair up using three clips, a big one and two small ones, all made by Goody. The big clip holds the majority of my hair, while the two smaller ones hold down my fly away wings. I do not use hair spray. Once I have fin ...

... to a normal close, a nurse's call light from one of the patient's rooms had illuminated. On one of my many repetitive walks down from the station to a patient's room, I had nothing else on my mind except for my evening plans with friends. I was extremely happy that this would surely be the last call light I would be answering that shift. As I entered the room, a crying relative came yelling at me. "He is going, something happened, do something, do something now!", demanded the distressed lady standing right at the bed side. I had seen this man before, although I had never spoken to him. I had know idea that ...

... a door. I stared at it. A second later it opened! I ran out of the kitchen as fast as I could and ran up the stairs. Up stairs it was even darker. I saw a long narrow hallway with a lot of doors on both sides and on the end. I checked all of the doors and I could only get into one of them. I walked into the one that I could get into and heard someone yelling and pleading. I grew scared but then noticed it wasn't a person. It looked like a hologram, but you could see and hear him. He seemed to be pleading for his life. I could not see whom he was talking to, but I don't think it was a person. The man was bald ...

... mode. The second icon, which resembles a 3-dimensional cylinder, lights up whenever the C.P.U. (Central Processing Unit) is called upon to processing information. The final of the three icons takes the shape of a sun. The sun is illuminated whenever the computer is on. Near the very top of the box there is a rectangular slot which measures 1� by 5 ¼� where the CR-ROM drive resides. On the front of the CR-ROM drive there is a single oval button, which activates the slider mechanism and opens the door. Below the CD-ROM drive is a 3�x 5� disk drive. There is also only one button on the front of the disk ...

Well its time to go, Mrs. Little gets into her car and heads for town.

... not a sound had been heard over the consistent clip- clop of the horses. Their hooves hit the dirt road, broadcasting a message for nearly a mile of the nearing prey. The sound alerting all the nearby predators to keep a good watch, to be ready, for the prize will soon be in their grasp. The fog, like a blanket spreading it self out on the land, concealed all stars, the only light was from a lantern suspended above the stage driver. The passengers nervous, expecting to hear shots fired. The jumped at every bump in the road that the wheels struck. Clutching their baggage close, they prayed that the night would ...

... up with electricity. The green of the leaves glows like sunburst emeralds. Shortly onward the wind picks up and the trees dance as if performing in a musical ballet. All the colors seem to be out of a fairy tale story book. There are huge flowers everywhere. There are millions from the size of a quarter to the largeness basketball. Oh, the smell!!! I have never smelled anything so beautiful in all my life. Only God himself could create a smell so sweet and delicate. My heart is immediately thankful that god gave me such a heavenly paradise. As I continue my walk I wonder if I am alone or if this enchanted tropica ...
