Mary had to make a decision and she knew that whatever decision she made, it would
upset someone. It seemed like such a silly reason for people to get upset but she
knew the minute that she began to consider doing it that there was no way everyone
in her life would be pleased with what she ultimately decided to do. It was simply
a question of who she would rather displease most. While this had always been her
parents, and especially her mom, in the past that she tried to keep from upsetting,
she decided that this time the person she was going to please the most with her
decision was herself.
One foot in front of the other, One more step, and then one more. Jack's only
thoughts were to keep moving no matter how much his body screamed to stop and rest.
He's lost almost all his energy and his entire body ached beyond belief, but he
forced himself to take another step. Then another. And then one more.
The headphones were on. They had been utilized on purpose. She could hear her mom
yelling in the background, but couldn't make out exactly what the yelling was
about. That was exactly why she had put them on. She knew her mom would enter her
room at any minute, and she could pretend that she hadn't heard any of the previous

this before, but he couldn't quite remember the time and place it had happened. He
desperately searched his mind trying to locate and remember where he had tasted
this when the bicycle ran over his foot.
She looked at her student wondering if she could ever get through. "You need to
learn to think for yourself," she wanted to tell him. "Your friends are holding you
back and bringing you down." But she didn't because she knew his friends were all
that he had and even if that meant a life of misery, he would never give them up.
There was a time and a place for Stephanie to use her magic. The problem was that
she had a difficult time determining this. She wished she could simply use it when
the desire hit and there wouldn't be any unforeseen consequences. Unfortunately,
that's not how it worked and the consequences could be devastating if she
accidentally used her magic at the wrong time.
Twenty-five stars were neatly placed on the piece of paper. There was room for five
more stars but they would be difficult ones to earn. It had taken years to earn the
first twenty-five, and they were considered the "easy" ones.
I recollect that my first exploit in squirrel-shooting was in a grove of tall
walnut-trees that shades one side of the valley. I had wandered into it at
noontime, when all nature is peculiarly quiet, and was startled by the roar of my
own gun, as it broke the Sabbath stillness around and was prolonged and
reverberated by the angry echoes.
Terrance knew that sometimes it was simply best to stay out of it. He kept
repeating this to himself as he watched the scene unfold. He knew that nothing good
would come of him getting involved. It was far better for him to stay on the
sidelines and observe. He kept yelling this to himself inside his head as he walked
over to the couple and punched the man in the face.
I checked in for the night at Out O The Way motel. What a bad choice that was.
First I took a shower and a spider crawled out of the drain. Next, the towel rack
fell down when I reached for the one small bath towel. This allowed the towel to
fall halfway into the toilet. I tried to watch a movie, but the remote control was
sticky and wouldn’t stop scrolling through the channels. I gave up for the night

Filled with fear, I reached down and to my surprise, I pulled out a raccoon skin
pair of underwear. After my initial relief that it wasn’t alive, the image of a
