The Ride Home When I stepped out from under the dim lighted patio, I had only two things on my mind: Clay Matthews and a ride home. I wish I possessed all his striking qualities. Big muscles, long hair, with that ever lasting look of determination and resilience glued to his face, but hey, my looks aren’t so bad. At school I am considered big, tough, smart, and very similar to Clay Matthews. I have blue eyes, broad shoulders, and hair long on the top but shaved on both sides. I find it not too shabby. As I sat on the creaking splinter filled steps, I stared expressionless into the sky. It was a blue skyed afternoon, the time I do not know, due to my wish of being able to stay outside and bask in the sun all day. It hadn’t been this beautiful out since last September. Birds chirping, sun glaring, ocean glistening, what more could one ask for? Suddenly I hear a rustling of leaves and heavy footsteps. I burst around, but it was too late. Faster than one could react, I was out within a …show more content…
“AARRGGHH!” Anxious, worried, and scramming for my life, I made way towards the wide forest drive road. Of course, there was nobody on the road, due to it being 3 AM. Heart pounding, arms pumping, legs striding, I wasn't able to recall any point in my life where I had ran faster than this. I could still hear the man about 10 feet behind me, chasing me with the same steel bat he had used to knock me out cold about 2 hours ago. After continuous sprinting and hurdling through many objects standing in my way, a thick, wavy cornfield was visible. Immediately, I thought to myself and might just be my ticket to survival. With no hesitation, I then began running towards this ticket and lost myself in it. I then lowered myself into a squat position as to not make my head visible. Panting, exhausted, and terrified, I heard a stomach dropping noise in the
My breath was heavy as I was sprinting from them. I could hear them on my tail. But the only this that was racing through my mind was “I have the book.”
Peanut dust in the air, shells on the ground, country music blaring overhead, and workers dancing around, Texas Roadhouse is known not only for its delectably delicious food, but also its friendly environment and excellent customer service. It is a restaurant I would definitely recommend to people of all kinds from those looking for somewhere to hang out with friends to a family looking for somewhere to celebrate a birthday or other special occasion or even two people looking for a place to have a casual second or third date. Texas Roadhouse is a popular restaurant, so our small wait (no more than 15 minutes) was nothing to be disappointed about. We got to enjoy the restaurant’s simple wooded look with a variety of wall décor representing Virginia schools. We also got to participate in their traditional birthday “YEE HAW” celebration twice while waiting.
Gasping in terror I awoke and shot to my feet. He was gone, but where, how long had I been here and ...
When you see the rollercoaster line. The entrance door has an amazing and wacky art design with many colors. As soon as you enter the coaster there is a decent sized room with multiple mirrors that make you look like different things such as one mirror could make you look like you are very tall and skinny or another could make you very chubby and short. Once you pass that room you go into another room that is just glass above you and to your sides so it looks like you are in a tube under water which you practically are. As you look around you see multiple species of fish and you also see the tube that the roller coaster goes through. So you are practically going across the river under water. As soon as you go out the other side you are still
It was a beautiful night. It was perfect for a walk. As I strolled further into the park a figure approached me. It was as dark as pitch so I couldn’t make out who it was. It was late; you wouldn’t usually see anyone at this time. My heart was beating faster and faster. The strange thing was I wasn’t frightened; it was just my heart beating rapidly. As the masculine figure approached, I began to walk slower. That was when I heard the voice.
Getting old is for the birds! My face might not be the shiny red it used to be and my wheels never seem to want to go as fast like they used to. New and young rollercoaster don’t know how good they have it. They just coast along without a care in the world. What they don’t know is how bad it will get someday.
I found my keys at last and I was racing to my car. My competition with the undefeated clock was soon to begin. I started the engine and took off with the radio blaring like a foghorn, and the accelerator floored. I was about 15 minutes northwest of my house, but I was attempting to cut those minutes in half.
I could the wind blowing against me, as if it was chasing me, catching my like it is a game of catch, I’m the mouse, and he’s the catcher. My palms was getting sweatier, my face was getting warmer the further away I ran. My mind screamed run, run! But my body simply cannot cope with it. Just around the corner, I saw multiple doors lined in the corridor.
In my lifetime, I have been privileged to travel to some of the most beautiful places in the world. I have seen the rich fire of sunset over the Rocky Mountains and the brilliance of coral reefs in crystal blue Caribbean waters. No spot on earth, however, has yet surpassed the beauty of my childhood paradise, a place my family called Tamarack.
I have always been fascinated by carnival rides. It amazes me that average, ordinary people eagerly trade in the serenity of the ground for the chance to be tossed through the air like vegetables in a food processor. It amazes me that at some time in history someone thought that people would enjoy this, and that person invented what must have been the first of these terrifying machines. For me, it is precisely the thrill and excitement of having survived the ride that keeps me coming back for more.
A shuttle bus was on its way with Chicago, Illinois as its final destination from Louisville, Kentucky. There were stops in various cities along the way; Bloomington, Indiana was one of them and was where I got on the shuttle. The shuttle was large: it had many compartments to store luggage on top of the seats as well as another compartment to store larger suitcases on the side of the vehicle. The bus was relatively crowded with most of its seats being occupied and had air conditioning blowing through its entirety. Although the bus was filled with passengers, the environment was mostly quiet because almost everyone on the bus were strangers. There were few conversations going on because people were listening to music, reading, or sleeping.
Eren watched the retreating backs of his two best friends as they walked on ahead chatting animatedly with each other as if they haven’t wronged him in any way. How could they betray him like this? Mikasa must’ve noticed her brother’s grumbling behind her because she stopped and pressed her finger into his forehead without him realizing. The jolt surprised him and anger overtook surprise in a matter of seconds.
Fleeing away from my fears and my problems, I went for a run. The wind blows violently, but I fight with every will in my tiny 100-pound body. I ran for what seemed like an eternity, but 50 minutes later, I collapsed. Gasping for air, ferociously wheezing, and muscles cramping, I swore I was on my death bed yet I felt at peace not just with myself but with Mother Nature who I had just conquered and with Father Time who justified my means of preserving each moment.
Fortunately, I wake every morning to the most beautiful sun lit house. I sit on my porch sipping coffee, while I drink in an atmosphere that steals my breath away. Rolling hills lay before me that undulate until they crash into golden purple mountains. Oh how they are covered in spectacular fauna, ever blooming foliage, and trees that are heavy with pungent fruit. Green it is always so green here at my house. Here where the air lays heavy and cool on my skin as does the striking rays of the sun upon my cheeks. I know in my soul why I choose to be here every day. Pocketed in all the nooks and crannies of these valleys and hills are stately homes, rich with architecture resplendent. Diversity is the palate here; ...
As I approach the island on which my dream house awaits, I catch a quick
