A few minutes we were right above Mauna Kea. all of the sudden a snow storm struck. “Get us out of here,” I yelled. I didn’t have to say it twice. Izel turned the helicopter around.

After swimming through the lake for a few seconds, I abruptly jumped out of the freezing water. My toes turned into a blue that reminded me of the blueberry muffins from breakfast that morning. My body shivered as I exited the lake and threw on a warm towel over my shoulders. Gradually my body heat increased, escaping the risk of hypothermia. At that point, I just wanted to go home. My family and I gathered all our belongings and I dragged my energyless body into the large, gray shuttle. The shuttle smelled of sweat from previous passengers. It drove us down a rough, bumpy trail, causing my tall father to constantly slam his head on the roof of the car. After we finally got back to our hotel, we all let off a sigh of

Two IT’S BEEN A long time since I’ve been on a road like this. A freeway, I think, with roads going onwards and onwards until somewhere I don’t know. I don’t think I ever will. The sun is shrouded by the violet waves of anguish, of the hideous things people like to call clouds.

None of the incantations Viviana had given her worked.
She felt cold, dreary, damp, she tried to open her eyes but something was stopping them from doing so, it was almost like her eyes were not responding to her brain. Consequently, she thought they were frozen but all the sudden, just like that they popped open. The girl sat up. Looking around she realized she was in a tent, there were cots around her but she for some reason she was not in one.
We followed Chera to Maui Beach Hotel and got dried up. I looked back and laughed. There was only one thing that was racing through my mind at this point...i’m alive. That was the only thing that I could think about. I was alive and that was all that mattered to me at that moment of my life.
