Then I lived in a small town in Italy, but it had no name. This had begun when I was only six years old. That was when a small black and teal tattoo appeared on my upper arm. No one knew why it appeared so as as grew older. As I grew up I got a job for a grumpy old man, with a wild red mustache and a big temper, I started to wear something to cover it up. One specific night on my 25th birthday, I had just gotten off from an unwanted night shift at the restaurant with my horrible boss. Once I got out of the taxi, I slumped my shoulders, and slowly walked into the second story apartment, laid down on the recliner and turned on the news.
What I saw surprised and mystified me, but before the segment was over I fell asleep. At least I think

So I gave her binoculars and told her to give me a thumbs up on when to run. After I got the signal, I sprinted up a ramp that had been dragging along gravel road, and a torn grassy meadow. Once I stepped up onto the deck I saw a captain leaning up against the wall crying, with a silent sob. And one single passenger, sitting up on the opposite side of the deck. With a small piece of paper sticking out of his coat pocket. I grabbed the piece of paper, uncrumpled it, and read it. The letter said”
I see that their has been another mishap with the ship, it must of crashed through your town after a canal breakthrough. This has happened before in other places that I cannot say, because memories have already been erased, and damaged has been paed for and rebuilt. Either way, the ship will not stop until, you do these tasks.
First, wake up the person who had the note with them.
Second, get the captain and him below deck, and close the

Not long after, his wife that I hadn’t yet seen came up the stairs. Right as she topped the stairs she started to yell at him and tell him to be nice, and stop acting like a 5 year old. Then she stopped and apologized to me, before they both disappeared with the ship. Leaving only the note, and a powder to put on me, and my niece so we’d remember. After that everyone forgot within the hour. And exactly 59 minutes and 24.5 seconds later everything seemed normal again and most of the damage was repeated, while a small, unseen, non-excistent tornado was blamed for all of the damage, that was leftover. This was the day that i learned that anything can
It was the day of April 13, 2000. I woke up at exactly 12 o’clock because my boyfriend was to pick me up at 1 like we planned the night before. The day looked quite nice, but I was in a fowl mood. I got into a car accident the night before and had a huge argument with my parents about the car. I finally dragged myself into the shower and got ready in half an hour. Then I went downstairs, sat on my couch, and repeatedly told myself the day would hopefully turn out better than last night. At around 1:15, my boyfriend came to pick me up. We took the 5 freeway to the 57 since it was the only way I knew how to get there. As we approached the 134 freeway, my girlfriend veered to the right, taking the 210 which was wrong way and got us lost. So, we exited the freeway and got back on the right track. Then finally, before long, we reached Norton Simon.
Although the flight was scheduled to depart from JFK Airport at about 7:00 p.m., it was delayed due to a disabled piece of ground equipment and concerns about a suspected passenger mismatch with baggage. The airplane took off at 8:18 p.m., shortly at 8:25 p.m., Boston air route traffic control center (ARTCC) instructed the pilots to climb and maintain an altitude of 19,000 feet and then lower down to 15,000 feet. However, at 8:26 p.m., Boston ARTCC amended TWA flight 800's altitude clearance, advising the pilots to maintain an altitude of 13,000 feet. At 8:29 p.m., the captain stated, "Look at that crazy fuel flow indicator there on number four... see that?" One minute later Boston ARTCC advised them to climb and maintain 15,000 feet to which the pilot replied: “Climb thrust”. After an extremely loud and quick sound, the cockpit voice recorder stopped recording at 8:31 p.m. At that moment, the crew of an Eastwind Airlines Boeing 737 flying nearby reported an explosion in the sky. TWA Flight 800 aircraft had broken up and crashed into the sea, 8 miles south of East Moriches, killing all on board. (1,2)
Later on the afternoon of November 10, the captain of the Fitzgerald made radio contact with another ship, the Avafor, and reported that they "had a bad list (a list means that the ship was going from side to side), had lost both radars, and was taking heavy seas over the deck in one of the worst seas he had ever been in." Captain McSorley was a sailor of the Great Lakes with over 40 years of experience.
Everything started a few years ago. It was a warm and beautiful night in Africa; the dark blue sky was full of stars… and those were the last things I remember before I woke up in a cold and wet floor. I do not know where I was, or why I my hands were tight behind my back.
I spent most of my high school career depressed and anxious about everything. I was lost alone and some days it was it was hard to get out of bed. I was happier with my friends that was only a temporary satisfaction. I found myself through Art: writing, poetry, or short stories Art help me express myself. My art screamed more than I could have ever said. Art give me the confidence in the person I convey through right. Being creative lowered my anxiety and maybe feel like I could be myself.
I made my way quickly to the top deck again so that I could try to make it onto a lifeboat. The only people left on the ship were men, who were sitting on the floor, crying. I asked a man what was happening, and why everybody was crying.
You know, sometimes being judged by your cover, isn't a bad thing. I don't let anyone know who I am, everyone knows my cover, but that's it. We all have something to be sad about, something to cry for. But how often do we think about that? We don't, when was the last time you looked at someone, and asked yourself, I wonder if life is more than a smile, I wonder if his life is hard? We don't, we just look at people and assume that they are happy, or sad.
Suddenly, something peculiar occurred: the deck was silent. The floorboards weren’t creaking, the drunken sailors weren’t obnoxiously ruffling my hair, and my father wasn’t grabbing me by my cravat, yanking me above deck. Everything was quiet. I leaned over the side of the net bed and I grabbed my old blue coat with the shiny gold buttons, and I bolted above deck. The ship was almost like a ghost-town. Nobody was working on cleaning the deck or furling the sails. “Dad? Dad, are you here? I’m sorry for sleeping in late!” I hollered, slowly opening the door to his captain’s quarters. “Is anybody here?”
We have arrived!” says Mother. I am so ready to be off this boat. “Isn’t it pretty,” says Elizabeth. She smiles at me from where she is standing but, through her smile, I can see fear and pain. I walk over to her and tell her it will be all right.
On that fateful day in March, I was a couple months shy of my third birthday. My family and I lived in New Mexico at the time and were renting a house with an outdoor in-ground pool. The day was beautiful. I was outside with my oldest sister Rachel and my father. Rachel was diligently reading curled up on a bench that sat against the house, and my father was mowing the backyard. My mother and my other sister were in the house. Off to one side of the house there was a group of large bushes. I was playing over there with one of her large cooking pots, off in my own little world. At one point while amusing and en...

Nearly everyone knows someone that has used or sold drugs. Drugs affect you in many different ways. My tattoo is a band-aid in the crease of my elbow, remembering one of my family members, Devin, time of addiction. When he was addicted, I noticed many different personality changes. After I realized that they were addicted also changed my view of them. He also had two kids, and they way it affected them had the greatest impact on me. They had to stay with my parents a lot, and basically had to live with me.
Many artists say that they were born to do art, that it was always in their blood and that they cannot remember a time that art was not a part of their lives. For me, this was exactly the opposite. I was always trying to do my best in science and mathematics and art was not even on my radar until I was a freshman in high school where I met my first inspiration for art, Zack Smithey. I was lucky enough to have Mr. Smithey as a guide for the start of my art career all four years in high school and he really pushed me to develop my portrait work. He helped me develop the foundation of my artwork, but at that point I was merely duplicating what I was seen and really had not developed an aesthetic of my own. For me, art was a challenge for me to
I could not believe what I had heard that evening. It never passed through my head that I was going to be listening to such a story. I did not think at all it was going to be as strong as it appeared to be. At beginning of it, the story did not even seem to be a story. I thought I was just going to be an advice for life. At the end of that night I, just as William in, “Flight Patterns” by Sherman Alexie, did not have the most minimum idea of what Fr. Andreas and Fekadu had gone through. I was only paying attention to my own problems. I had shot down others reality and had not even pay attention to other people’s
I am sentimental, out-going, indecisive, understanding, curious, naive, lazy, and young. I want to be ... , well a lot of things, and growing is discovering what they are. I feel people cannot see the potential within, although there is no one to blame but myself. I look to others for approval instead of to myself. I aim to please; it leads to approval. I don’t like to discuss my faults; I pity myself.
