Involuntary (part one)

It was completely an involuntary action. I wanted no part of it, but everyone began to push me, and I don't like to be pushed! They said it would be no big deal, but I knew, oh I knew this would happen.

----------------------------------

I walked down the hall trying to mute my every step. I casted my flashlight from side to side, peeking through every door. Sometimes I'd slow down to catch a glimpse, then I sped up again to avoid contact with a sight I would not want to see. The possibilities of sights barreled through my head, leaving a lump in my gut. I stopped down what seemed to be the middle of the hall. It was beyond a doubt to dark to see the end. The hall became an endless burrow, bring the term "bind as a bat" seem misguided. I leaned against the wall to the side, and began to slide down as I took a lingering sigh and closed my eyes.

"This isn't going to end well. I have no idea where I am, and all my freakin' friends ditched me... Agh"

Crash! The sound of pans hitting the ground blasted through the hall. I popped up with my eyes wide with fear.

"Oh my God! What was that..." I hit my flashlight, but no light. I couldn't see anything. I reached around to follow the wall, but I was hesitant to what I might find.

"Lucy... Lucy is that you?" A whisper called.

"Jacob?"

"Oh lucy it is you! Follow me, ok?" A cold hand grab my arm, shooting spikes which impaled my entire body. I suddenly felt like throwing up, something was wrong.

"Wait Jacob, what's going on? Jac-"

"Shhh!... You don't want them to hear you do you?"

"Who hear me?" I whispered.

"Them."

"Who?... Jacob? Hello?... Answer me!" But he wouldn't. How could he see down the hall, he didn't stumble nor stop. He kept a slow steady paste.

We walked down the hall in silence, or at least I think we were... finally he stopped.

"Jacob? Where are we?"

"We're here."

Where?! Seriously why won't you tell me?! Jac-"

"I told you shut it! They'll hear us!" He yelled with an angry whisper. I could feel the circulation in my hand stop as he griped it even harder, it soon became numb.

"Ok that's it! I'm done! I hate it when you mess with me! I'll find my own way out!"

"Lucy!" I heard him.

A force hit me, and I collapsed to the ground. My lungs caved in, I could feel the air burst out of me. I fell to the ground... but I couldn't feel anything...

Narcissus & Echo

Narcissist- someone in love with themselves

Echo- the repetition of a sound resulting from reflection of the sound waves

Summary: Echo would sometimes distract Hera with great stories while her husband, Zeus, the King of the Olympians would go out and cheat on her. Well then Hera found out, she had Echo's voice taken away, but instead of it being gone for good, now she could only repeat what everyone else said. In the end she falls in love with boy, Narcissist, who's in love with himself, and he is then cuserd to fall in love with the next person he sees. One day he goes to drink water from a creek and sees his reflection. Because he can't not be with himself, he then kills himself.

I Am

I am blissful and content.

I wonder what life will bring to me.

I hear laughter.

I see smiles.

I want to be surrounded by them.

I am blissful and content.

I pretend I'm ok.

I feel a little better.

I touch my face.

I worry it's too much.

I cry from the pain.

I am blissful and content.

I understand I can make it easy.

I say I don't want to go home.

I dream of my future.

I try to make the best of everything.

I hope all my work pays off.

I am blissful and content.

WTF

Onua, I swear she's crazy. She's my land lord, but I honestly don't know how she got there. I don't even think she has a job. I know she always barbecuing. What? I have no idea, but one day, when I went over to hand her the check for rent last month.... Is the reason I'm not living there now. It was Tuesday, September 13. I sat at the table balancing my money, I wrote the check... I wonder if she even speaks english... I never hear her talk really. I ripped the check from the book, and slammed the door, I think I'll be in debt this month! I stubbed down the steps to her. I raised my head, I really need to act nice, it's only half the rent. I raised my hand, the door opened. "Ahhh! You Sarah!" I haven't even knocked yet... how did she know, there's no window... "You come in! You want food? Ummmy, very tasy!" She screamed. I followed her to the yard. She opened her barbecue... "What... is that..."

"Ummm they called spiders!"

"What?"

So I shoot her in the face, and ran off! And now I'm here in jail!

Forever Fifteen

Forever Fifteen

by Kimberly Steele

Lucy Albert was born in the era of the Black Plague in medieval Italy, she become a vampire against her will. Now she lives in New York living in the modern world. It started out with Lucy at school, a boy named Jon asking for a pencil, they both ended out up in detention. Jon showed interest in her, but Luck denied it. While everyone was asleep she snuck out for feed. She picked an old fat man named Ray, who has a history of the unforgiven. She buried him next to the girl he raped and killed last summer, just to have a little irony.

The scariest thing ever...

To me... any spider. My head pops whenever I see a glimpse of what might be one, and sometimes it's just a flying or a sunspot from the conner of my eye. One story came to mind, it's short, but kinda funny. I remember on a Saturday, I had my friend JJ and Daisy over, we were getting ready to watch a movie, but you can't watch a movie without popcorn. Daisy was being lazy, and it was freezing outside. So JJ came with me to walk up stair, it was dark and all I had was a small flashlight and no one was home, we walked up the stairs, Daddy Long Legs everywhere. I opened the front door with the bag of popcorn in hand, JJ behind me. I turned to him as he was closing the door, and there by his shoulder was a spider the size of my fist. I pointed, with my dropping jaw, "Oh, my, god!". "What?" He turned to see what I was look at, and at a instant he let out it's high pitched scream and the door slammed shut. Knocking the spider to the ground, lucky if fell outside, and not inside. And then we made popcorn... oh and today I almost got hit by a car... but that's a longer story....

The greatest thing I have ever...

... smelt. It filled the air around, embracing me. I walk down the hall following the smell... Apple... peaches... Chocolate... New Car... I never smelt it this before, I continued down the hall, to the open door leading out side. The light pierced through the glass of the door, blinding the out side view. I lifted my hand trying to block some of the sun light. I leaning my head in to catch the scent the again... "From my back yard?" I round my eyes to the left of me, their my dog sat there staring at me. She didn't move, nor blink, she seems... lifeless. "Clair?" She stood up and trotted off, disappeared behind the house. Out of curiosity I follow, as I walked the smell grew stronger. She was gone... the fenced end, and there was nowhere she could have gone... "Did she freakin' get out again?" My voice sounded horse from the terrible cold I had.

At the corner of my eye a gold light appeared, there on the ground was a coin. I bent to pick it up, looked like something from a Lucky Charms commercial... I then heard a small voice from behind. "Hey there that's mine coin!" An irish accent? What? I turned to see, have my eye lied to me... A leprechaun. Yes I could smell it, it hung around him. The smell wasn't bad, not at, if fact it was amazing. "You smell amazing, like... roses, and tea... and cookies... and home..." I muttered. " Well I'll trade you a bottle of my Leprechaunless La Sweet by Calvin Klein for my coin?" So I did, and that's was I were to school everyday, and it

only makes it better that I'm Irish.

The End :)

Summary - The book started out on the first chapter with a letter, that pretty went out to everyone. It stated that everyone has the right to stay in the “badlands” (which are the areas not controlled by the government, and zombies are everywhere) or they could move into small cities that were trying to protect the people.The books about Death, himself coming into the world to stop the undead plague. In the next chapter, a man who just after a car crash is greeted by Death, Death asks were the Senator Moorecourt is? He was the only survivor in the other car. With Death literally looking for and lumping away from the undead, Moorecourt find a place to hide in a small warehouse, only to find out that there are two very well self-preserved Zombies in the warehouse with him...

A little messed up... or should I say very messed up....

Myspace... don't do it!

Ok, I'd like to comment about Myspace.... or rather the people who use Myspace. If someone asks you out on Myspace... please don't say yes. If your fighting with someone on Myspace, no one cares. Fighting on Myspace is like winning in the Special Olympics, even if you win your still retarded. I really only use myspace for people I don't have their number. Yes, it's true I love Myspace, but I don't do stupid pointless things on Myspace.... Well, sometimes I'll post a bulletin about questions...

Across the World, You Are (part 1)

"Why should I Go!?"

"Because if don't you'll never meet them."

"Maybe I don't want meet my parents, maybe they don't want to meet me. That's why they probably left me!"

"Calm down, your plane will be here in 2 hours. Now get in the car."

Why can't I just stay in Japan, it's my home. Who cares about my biological parents, to me their just people. San Francisco doesn't even sound that amazing. America doesn't sound that hot either. "Please May, let me stay! I want to stay with you and the others, please!"

"Oh, I wish you could, but it's time you meet your true parents, and not stay with the people who pretend to be."

The look on her was full of sadness, I guess she didn't want me to leave either. May was my mother, not my birth mother, but my true caring mother. Her family was my family and I always looked up to her, but in a day, she would across the world.

"Clare, I promise everything will fall into place. It may start out bad, but in the end you will be happy. Now let's go, you don't want to be late."

"Thank... for everything, and no matter what... to me you are my mother, May."
