... stories were ghost stories. A group of five to ten children would sit around and listen to the teller with great attention and tension. As a rule, for the best effect, these frightful stories were told at nighttime in the garden. Everybody tried to look very brave, including me. However, in the depth of my heart, I was afraid of darkness. That’s why each time I returned home I did not walk, but ran with the feeling that heroes of the stories would come alive and make terrible trouble for me. I don’t remember how long these story-telling sessions went on, maybe a few months during the summer. It was so interesting to listen while holding my breath and ...

... and continues to be the reason why I often feel depressed. Although some of my friends may describe me as being polite, easy going, and stress-free, I have many stresses causing me to become frustrated. Growing up had been no easy task for my brother and I. My parents hardly ever got along and it seemed that each time they would argue, we were in the middle of it or the cause of it. After graduating from high school, I left home. Since my brother had recently moved out, only my parents would be left to live together, but that didn’t work out. My mother became desperate to leave my father since their marriage wasn’t working out and also due to her daily res ...

... but it looks kind of dull. This statue also kind of reminded me of the statue of the man who has his face in his hand thinking about things. I do not know what it is called but it reminded me of that statue because of the intentitive look on face. The person in the statue looks intent on reading or studying, and looks like he understands the literature that he is reading. When came back to look at the statue Sunday night when it was dark out, I saw few changes that caught my eye. First was the way the lights around the library reflex off the statue. It makes the statue seem that in was just made the day before. It enhances the fine detail even more than when y ...

... basis, Sofie is 17 years old. It is the first week of the school holidays and being rather bored at home I decide to go to a friends house. Arriving home 6.30, Mum was still yelling about the phone bill, wearily entering the door waiting for the impact. "$170 dollars worth of international calls" Mum bellowed at me. I will pay for them out of my trip money I reapplied in a disappointed tone. "Trip, trip when is this stupid TRIP going to be over with" Mum yelled at me, Soon very soon I reapplied convincingly. A week went past each day I eagerly checked the mailbox, only to discover bills and letter from companies trying to sell us a continuous stre ...

... The females appear to be sexy, seducing, and physically prepared. There also seems to be a strong sexual attraction between the two species. The setting in this picture is very relaxing and seems to be a place of excitement for the jovial humans. Cigarettes appear to be a source of absolute happiness. Another source of satisfaction for the humanoids are bottles of alcohol which seem to bring smiles to dispirited individuals. This picture that I'm looking at now has some type of amphibious creature saying the same word "Budweiser". This small creature is in the middle of a large humanoid gathering, where females are sitting on the laps of males, and everyone ...

... who had him as a teacher said he pushed hard but treated them with respect. Not only was he held in high esteem by his students, but with some of his colleagues as well.

We felt sorry and sad to lose such a wonderful and caring human being. Nineteen years past, we still remember his smiling face and his wise eyes, esp ...

... by this time I have wasted away twenty minutes of my precious lunch period. Mr.Johnson, this is just not a suitable lunch arrangement. I must mention of second problem with lunchtime, this is even more pressing than the first. Lunch Prices have been growing drastically and with no reason at all, this could mean the school is pressed for money so you look for the simple solution and make us, the consumers, pay more. I have heard that this large amount of extra money is going towards better quality food; get real folks how can you improve the quality of fries and pizza? And what can the students do about this? Packing a lunch could solve some problems but ...

... ongoing story can be like a soap opera. My favorite example of this is "The Summers Family," Which goes a little something like this: There are two brothers, Scott and Alex Summers, who were orphaned as children when they were pushed from a plane being attacked by an advanced alien race. Their mother died but their father went on to become a space pirate. Later, Scott falls in love with Jean Grey, who becomes an omnipotent primal force, the Phoenix, who commits suicide to save the universe from herself. Meanwhile, a bad guy has made a clone of Jean named Maddie, who marries Scott. They have a baby, Nathan. Jean returns from the dead, not actually having been ...

I was feeling just fine, but now I want to lose my lunch," replies a bald, fat, sorry, weight impaired lady behind the counter. "Well, what will it be?" "What will what be?" "Hello? Are there any connected synapses here? Tradition says that now is the time you tell me what you would like to order. Then I respond by telling you how much money shall exchange hands and you wait for a thumb twiddling long time for us to get your food." Pointing his finger, Dorko says, "Well then I will acqu ...

... and pretend to run a hospital. The mistakes weren't very frequent, at least, not until I started to drink. I suppose you want to know the reason I started to drink. Well, I mess up big time during a triple bypass and killed a patient. That's when the drinking started and the drinking lead to the death of another patient. Now I drink even more and remember even less which means its working. About a month ago I left England, which is where I worked, and moved here to a small fishing island off the coast of France. There is no doctor on the island so they welcomed me, sort of. I scare them I suppose. They're afraid they might catch me when I'm to drunk to work pro ...
