...Iron shark It was the year, 2015. My family and I traveled to Houston,Texas and drove to Pirates Pleasure Pier then met up with my aunt,uncle, and cousins. First, I had to pass the height limit to ride the big kid rides. I was so shocked because I...I...I passed the height limit!!! I am past 48 inches actually I am now 49 inches. Next, my sister and I were going on the Iron Shark. Then, my sister and I ran into line and these girls think they have the right to tell me that I can not go on the ride!!! The height requirement was 48 womanly ladies! I was a little past 48 inches bub! And then, they made me stand up next to a height board!!!!! “Yeah I don’t think they will let you on the ride because of how dangerous the ride is.¨One of the womanly...

...Where now? Who now? When now? In front of me was a vast of blankness. I took a deep breath. It was as if I was in a magical, nonrealistic world. I took one tiny step. Paused. Then I sensed my surroundings. There was no one following every movement I make. I twirled around. My surrounding was empty. I let out a small yelp. Then I screamed, "AHHHHHHHH!" All I heard was my echo. I took another deep breath. Then I thought to myself, so this is what it is like to be alive. For twenty years, I was contained in a house that lacked every form of love and affection vital for the growth of a child. Since my parents were one of the richest and fastest growing money makers in the world, our home was a five acre mansion with twenty rooms, fifteen bathrooms, ten gardens, and five swimming pools. Yet all this was for me, and only me. My parents are frequently away due to work, and as a result, I was left alone in this enormous house for the most of my past twenty years. Due to their extreme wealth, my parents have developed a paranoia for everything. Our so called house is contained with high electrically charged walls, protected with over twenty advanced security systems, and the absurdity just goes on. From the moment I was born, I was protected like the most fragile and valuable being in the world. Not because they loved me with all their hearts, but because they were afraid of me getting kidnapped. As a result, I have lived twenty years without any exposure to the vast world out that where...

...Monday. Most of the people running for charities finished around this time. This was the time the average, every day, working class person who decided to run the marathon finished. Allison and Katie could relate to these people. They were just normal people, who happened to be able to run 26.2 miles. BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Help Me!!!!!!! It was 2:49 pm, and a bomb had just gone off on Boylston Street. Screams of terror and fear suddenly erupted out of the once excited and happy crowd. Panic could be seen on all the faces in the crowd. Allison was a little dazed; she was having a hard time hearing. Where is Katie she thought to herself? She was having trouble seeing. Everything was so bright to her. BOOM!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!! More screams filled the crowd. Another bomb had just gone off. Katie was also dazed. She held her hands over her face. She couldn’t stand to see people crying. She wanted to find Allison. After a few moments of panicking she looked to her left and saw Allison. She could tell, Allison was a little out of it, and having trouble seeing. She ran to her and grabbed her. The two of them agreed they had to get out of there. The two of them ran following the crowd. They didn’t know where they were going, but they figured following the crowd was the best thing they could do. As they progressed further and further away from Boylston Street and closer to their car the only thing the two of them could think about was going home. As the two...

The cold breeze can be felt almost instantly in this blur night, Rachel sign and her breath can be visibly seen, and she shivers and hugs herself. She looks up at the 70 feet building. It all started when they all agreed to spend their vacation in Las Vegas, the place for relaxation, Entertainment and Gambling, and all of it happened when they luckily won 10 tickets at some lottery. It was just by luck that Puck clumsily tripped and disturbed, its’ momentum and got the jackpot, Kurt and Rachel squeal with all their might leaving everyone around them deaf. Each one of them went and packed their things and saying their goodbyes to their parents and went off. The ride to the airport was Hell, Santana always wanted to stop at every store they come into, Brittany occasionally wants to go at detours, Sam won’t stop talking about X-Men and the Avengers ,Finn is snoring really loudly and Jesse was disturbingly looking at the mirror, like his worshiping his face and was like trying to propose to himself the only normal there was Rachel, sitting quietly with Ear buds in her ear, Blaine and Kurt talking to each other, Tina doing something on her computer and lastly Puck who was trying to ignore his Friends weird antics, when they...

...Introducción La desenfrenada euforia y presión que cargan sobre un adolescente que cursa 2do y 3er año del Ciclo Técnico en la Escuela Industrial Superior pero que busca inconscientemente otra cosa, otra cosa que más bien es instintiva, como un impulso primario natural, y que además tiene aspiraciones artísticas como teatro, dibujo y literatura, pero que siente la mirada constante e insistente de su propia responsabilidad y ambición que lo obligan a exigirse todo lo que sabe que puede lograr para no defraudarse a sí mismo, todo esto sumado a una ideología que se basa en el delirio voluntario y la descarga de tensiones por medio de la expresión sin el más mínimo sentido y sin miedo al qué dirán, criticando a la juventud masiva y sin criterio propio del cual se está plagando el mundo; todos estos factores influenciaron al autor a enchufarse en su computadora y a escribir lo que primero le viniese a la mente, lo que se cruzase de forma más torcida, lo que lo hiciese reír a él mismo, esto era lo que seleccionaba para su texto. Lo que se empezó a formar era un montón de “delirancias”, que mágicamente empezaron a tomar forma, trama y hasta un profundo dramatismo. Una vez estructurado ya no había más que hacerle, ya había cobrado vida propia, solo restaba seguir escribiendo hasta que simplemente decida terminarse. El absurdo no es ni ficción ni realismo fantástico, es el arte de saber volar más allá de la imaginación (ya que esa es zona de la ficción), hay que despegar con mucha...

...Hundred in one Brief intro: Sabi nga nung mga kaibigan ko dati, masarap daw ang pakiramdam ng sikat. Yung tipong, ikaw yung hinahangaan. Naisip ko naman, lahat naman ng positive side, may kaequal sa negative side. Hindi naman puro maganda ang kinalalabasan. I'm just the girl next door. Well, hindi naman yung literal na meaning. Typical girl kumbaga. Yung mamemeet mo sa pangarawaraw. In short, average lang. Pero may nagsasabi sa akin na hindi raw ako average. Sometimes above or below. Kainis na mga yun!!! Ang lakas ng loob na sabihing above average ako? 4th year high school na nga pala ako. Bagong school. Sa katunayan, hindi naman na talaga bago sa akin ang 'Edison High School.' Nakatira naman na kasi kami dito sa lugar na ito, dati pa. Kaya lang nadestino yung Papa ko sa ibang lugar kaya napilitan kaming lumipat. Pero ngayon, stayput na siya. Hindi na yata namin kailangang lumipat uli. Kaya bumalik na naman ako sa pinanggalingan ko. Makikita ko na naman yung mga naging kaibigan ko dati. I have two brothers. Yung isa mas matanda sa akin, yung isa mas bata. Nagkataon namang yung mas bata sa akin eh ang mortal kong kaaway sa bahay namin! Si Kuya naman, hindi nakatira sa amin dahil college na siya. Bakasyon pa naman. Inienjoy ko pa naman dahil kapag nagpasukan na, magsisimula na ang nightmare. Hindi pa maayos yung bahay namin mula sa pagkakalipat, marami pa kasing hindi nabubuksang kahon. Pero syempre, inuna kong ayusin yung kwarto ko. Aba, yun ang pinakamahalaga...

...**1*** The End. Fairytales. Yeah right! As if it's true. Siguro nga yung fairytales eh hindi maganda sa simula, then pagdating ng dulo eh happy ending parati. Lagi na lang napapataas yung kilay ko. My mom told me I used to like reading those kind of books. But right now... wala siya sa interest ko. Paano nga ba sinisimulan yung story sa mga fairytale? Ano nga bang phrase yun? Ooh.. ok. I remember. Let's start my story with that phrase too. Once upon a time, in a kingdom far far away, there lived a princess who cleaned her closet. Ooopps... corny. Wala kaming kingdom, at hindi rin whatever once upon a time. It's modern day. And fairytales, don't come true in real life. Right now, the closet part was true. I'm cleaning my closet and my drawers. Ito yung binigay sa akin na relo ni Daddy nung nagpunta siya ng Canada. Hindi ko naman na ginagamit so might as well, isama ko na lang doon sa sako. Crap. Ito kayang bag na regalo naman sa akin ni Mommy nung nanalo ako sa Declamation ko? Marumi naman na so, wala na rin siyang kwenta. Crap. How about itong stuff toy na... Fine.. fine!! Bakit ba ako nag-aabala na tanungin pa yung sarili ko kung alam ko naman na yung mga nandito sa drawer eh yung mga hindi ko na ginagamit. Mostly, crap for me... not for others. Bumaba ako sa hagdanan namin at dumeretso ako doon sa mini-office ni Daddy sa bahay. As usual, nakalatag na naman ang iba't ibang papel sa harapan niya at nakasalamin pa siya. "Hey Dad, I need a ride...
