If you had told me when I was a teenager, that in ten years I would have to teach students how to fight against a flock of fowls rather than to write an essay, I would have laughed in your face. It’s not a laughing matter. When the first wave of chickens began attacking their …
Yawning, I try to keep my focus on the road. I knew it was a mistake to leave this late at night, but I just got so distracted. I yawn again, this time my eyes watering. I blink to get rid of the tears. My vision cleared just in time for me to see an …
I get out of my car after a long drive home. I hate the commute, but it's a price I'm willing to pay to live further away from people. As I head inside my house, I notice that it seems quieter than normal. Putting my stuff down, I head to a room at the back …
Power can be so addicting. I can easily make anyone obey. The people in this society are so unthinking. Have you ever wanted to twist a kind soul? Give them a taste of strength, and then take it away? It can send them into a spiraling black hole. The weakest in mind are so easy …

Each one was only supposed to speak for 10 minutes to give a brief introduction to their specialty. Instead, they have droned on for …
I’ve been wanting to make this trek for a while now. I wanted to take this hike with some of my friends, but they weren’t able to join. I’m close to getting out of breath, when I find a nice shaded area off to the side. I head in that direction. Once there, I discovered …
The anger is burning hot within me with every word spewing from his mouth. I hear people muttering nervously, but I ignore them. I'm much more focused on the vile oaf in front of me talking down to me. Does this idiot really think he could ever be a match for me? I glare at …
I run as fast as I can through the woods. My heart is pounding, and I'm breathing heavy. My lungs burn with pain. It's down to just two of us. We began with 15. No one expected me to make it this far. All of us, including me, thought I would be the first one …
