A Bird
.... is that I’m born to be male once, and then the next time I resurrect I’m female. When I’m in state of being male I’m Ho and when I’m female – I’m Oo. Though I know that I’m the only phoenix on the earth, I still hope and pray that I will find my soul mate and live happily ever after.
People who know legends about me say I’m the Bird of Paradise or the Bird of Sun. Well they might be right. I receive solar energy from the sun and advise from the Paradise. That is why my wings are surrounded by f .....

The Monkeys
.... not pleasing to the monkeys at all. A letter was left on the door of the monkey house which read as follows: Dear Monkeys, You guys have got to start helping out a little bit, because we are tired of helping you do everything. From now on, when we feed you bananas, its your responsibility to pick up your banana peals and throw them in the garbage can. It would be a great help to us. Sincerely, Gus and Barbara.
When the two smartest monkeys, Ted and Jill, finally translated this note, they told all .....

My Journey
.... the principal who kindly tells me to slow down greets me. I quickly find my seat as the last tone of the bell sounds, knowing that I almost didn’t make it.
I began to look around the room, and notice the differences from previous classrooms to this one. I keep thinking that I am finally here, no longer in junior high, but in highschool. It was a completely different territory, where I was a lowly sophomore, rather then the bigshot head of the class ninth grader. I notice that other students are loo .....

Nowhere, Kansas
.... by us, as to get our attention. This skinny man with his apron tied around his small waste started to bustle around picking up a few boxes, “Sorry about the mess,” he replied, in a strong southern accent “just a few days ago we met head on with a twister.”
I looked at my cousin with a slight smirk on my face. I knew we were thinking the same thing, “that was rather ironic.” I turned to the worker and replied, “it was no inconvenience to us.”
We continued to walk into the store and found that there was .....

The Witness
.... with no choice but to take Adam into safety. They presumed that the Mafia was watching every move made by Adam and his family, and the FBI couldn’t risk telling the boy’s mother or any other family members. Adam sat in the backseat, squeezed between two agents. He was confused, still half asleep and luckily, very quiet.
The dark car turned off the freeway and drove carefully down what seemed an unused dirt track. They were taking Adam to an FBI safehouse, to reduce th risk of being found. safe. As th .....

Cinncinnati: Loveland: Paxton Woods
.... rovers and wide-eyed gamblers looking for a chance to strike it rich in real estate.
The westward movement began, and it didn’t take long for people to find the area that would become Cincinnati. Because of its rich soil and abundance of rivers, which were vital to the transportation and livelihood of the day, settlers started arriving by 1788. Most of the city’s early settlers arrived by putting several weeks worth of food and their life’s possessions on flatboats, which were really nothing more than .....

Slow Ride
.... I was pulling hand-brake turns, pretending that I was in a Formula one racing car, screeching the tires and driving on the wrong side of the road. I was taking hairpin turns thirty kilometers over the speed limit.
"I'm in England!" Jack would yell as he poked his head out of the sunroof.
Though I could barely hear him above the blaring music.
I felt care and worry free. We were headed for the first party of the school year, and rather quickly at that. I was so preoccupied with the road and talki .....

Christmas Day
.... which I enjoyed but my mom was not filled with great joy. Today was the day we go into Brooklyn, NY to see my father's parents. When we arrived, I was greeted by all but; I felt a huge pain from deep within my heart. There was nothing to fear and nothing was going wrong so I spent a lot of time in my mother's arms. After a while at the house my father had to call work to see how everything was going. He was on the telephone for a while but that always happened during family occasions. As the day .....

On Taunting Lacy Lou
.... shelter for all sorrows. The tree seemed to guard the tomb where we had buried her that cold July morning. She had died peacefully and painlessly. At least those thoughts are what I clung to after waking up drenched in cold sweat and tears. With the whisper of a breeze, I was flung back into the watercolors of my memory, and one nightmare mural of my childhood protruded.
The heat lavishly fed the dirt pathway with the first freezer pops of summer. School had been out for three days, and lobster bodies g .....

The Doll And A White Rose
.... had to go get some other things and would be back in a few minutes. And then she left the aisle.
The boy continued to hold the doll. After a bit I asked the boy who the doll was for. He said, "It is the doll my sister wanted so badly for Christmas. She just knew that Santa would bring it." I told him that maybe Santa was going to bring it. He said, "No, Santa can't go where my sister is . . . I have to give the doll to my mamma to take to her."
I asked him where his sister was. He looked at m .....

An Significant Experience
.... the "restaurant" we used to run? I swear we had those tall cooks with aprons and weapon-like utensils who used our long countertops to chop and fry vegetables. Where was that huge tray where all the dishes were placed to serve me? As I stepped out of the kitchen, the same feeling crept in. I always remembered living in a mansion. Had it shrunk? When I asked my mom, she gave me a perplexed look as though I had just left a mental hospital. I heard several quarrels within our home, ones I had never before n .....

The Matchmaker
.... last girlfriend was someone that Homer set him up with. Steve and Homer have similar interests in women, so Steve can usually trusts Homer when it comes to being set up. Usually, every girl complains that Steve is too into his team to have time for a girlfriend, let alone a wife.
Homer is one of the “top dogs” at his work, and he has recently begun working with a lady by the name of Mary Larkins. It was kind of weird at first, for Homer, working with a female at a construction site. As soon as .....

Regicide

Anders left his quarters to seek the kings magician, and would seek some answers from the faceless man. Beson was not one of those little tricky magicians, no, he was a true magician who used real magic instead of illusions, for Beson had served Seripita for more than five hundred years yet he did not look a day over thirty five. Beson had come across thousands of kings and had not found one half as sinister as King Peyna, so when prince Anders came seeking a solution Beson was m .....

Descriptive Essay
.... 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 buttons. I watch without blinking, as the mysterious woman fallows the men in rhythmic step towards the grave yard. Sounds of marching and bristling leaves pass through my wind scorched ears. The coffin that is so gracefully carried is, in th .....
