  • George Mallory
    754 words
    A Tale of an Hour The cold gray steel of the axe arced one last time through the air, the pick burrowed itself one last time into the frozen blanket of snow, and the hand that held it took a final pull, to ensure a secure placement. After a brief pause, George Mallory took a deep breath, and pulled himself over the crux, and onto the top. Slowly, shakily, he stood up, and took a look around, the first time American eyes had seen the world from this vantage point. This was it. He had done it. He ...

    The Feldip hills... a vast and unforgiving wilderness riddled with treacherous swamps, vicious wolves and the occasional brutish ogre. But the fel dip hills are also home to more mundane creatures. Deep in a valley far south of the high walls of and gu- there was a nomadic settlement. All tents made from ragged and stained fabrics. These tents were in a circle with a larger tent at the centre and the embers of a fire smoked in front of its doorway as a dim sun rose and an oily orange filled the ...
  • Just Breath
    3,089 words
    JANUARY 1, 2007 It's like I'm dead. But I'm not, I guess I'm just dead to my surroundings or everyone is just trying to make me feel that way. I walk through the crowed halls at my school, no one turns a head, no one smiles, it's like I'm walking through a bunch of ghosts, or am I really the ghost? There are so many questions that I try to answer in the back of my head while I'm taking these steps to home room. Everyone usually feels sorry for the person who has no friends or is considered a fre...
  • Jacob Live One And A Quarter Miles
    1,610 words
    Jonathan Shilling P 3 Literacy 5/18/2005 The Path of Jacob Roberts It was a beautiful day, as far as beauty goes in Juneau, and it was a rare event for a mid March afternoon. Jacob Roberts lived in a small house on the Back Loop Road, surrounded by trees. It was a blue house with a two car garage and a wooden patio that jetted out from the north face, which made the house seem content in the atmosphere of tall pine and towering spruce. The property line encompassed nine-tenths of an acre, which ...

  • Fountain Gwen
    4,715 words
    I met this girl last summer. How can I describe her? She was really weird, and that's the nicest thing I can say about her. Okay, that's not exactly true. Even though I didn't know her that well, I consider her a 'special' kind of friend. We went through a lot together that summer, and I'll never forget what happened. When we met, it was just one of those days: when the sun's shining so bright that you " re afraid it " ll burn your eyes out right through your sunglasses. I was away at summer cam...
  • My Whole Body
    1,386 words
    The blinding sun light spilled onto my exhausted underside from the window across the room as the un laundered shirt was whisked away. The sight of the dank pullover was replaced with an anxious peering face. I knew that look in his face well. He had grown imaginative last night and was staring at my strained body, almost seemingly considering if what he had in mind might be too much for my experienced frame. Then as if he had made his decision a smile broke his expression and with the tip of hi...
  • Jamie And Scott
    3,820 words
    I looked out of a small square plane window and see water, lots of it. It was the bluest, most spectacular water I have ever seen. I wasn't even really that excited when I first stepped onto the plane, but when I saw the Pacific Ocean for the first time, I was overwhelmed with exuberance. As we got closer to our destination I switched seats from the front of the plane to the back with the rest of the Lions band members. All of us could be spotted from anywhere, with our matching tan shirts with ...
  • My Younger Brother Steve
    1,137 words
    I remember the night all too well. It was an August evening and my parents left my younger brother Steve and I home alone as the rest of my family went to one of my younger sister, April's, softball games. They left the two of us together thinking that they could trust us since I was the 'older brother' and that I'm going to be a senior in high school. I guess that eventually proved to be quite the mistake. As I recall it, Steve and I became bored after watching a few minutes of television. Our ...
  • Mustard And Scampi
    5,547 words
    Creative Writing: Dogs and Cats The cursed cat. He was grinning at them, that insolent face just grinning and staring, those disgusting whiskers twitching, the disgusting muddy fur, the disgusting hole in his ear. Scampi and Mustard stood at the bottom of the tree, tongues slowly moving in and out. It was over, both of them knew. They stared right back at the mangy cat with hate in their eyes. Its tail was curling back and forth. 'Can't we wait this time?' 'No. ' 'But-' 'We could stand here all ...
  • Interview Mr Heatherly
    1,802 words
    The American Hero War, defined in the dictionary as the fighting between nations or groups of people in a nation. The term war to me means not hate and death, but history and pain. Looking back into the past, the most influential war that ever took place in the world, was World War II. When thinking about whom I should interview for my report, I could only think about my interests in the war. So I found a man who had fought in the war for two years, and had had many hardships there. My interview...
  • Orpheus Love For Eurydice
    2,501 words
    From Bulfinch's Mythology Orpheus was the son of Apollo and the Muse Calliope. He was presented by his father with a lyre and taught to play upon it, which he did to such perfection that nothing could withstand the charm of his music. Not only his fellow-mortals, but wild beasts were softened by his strains, and gathering round him laid by their fierceness, and stood entranced with his lay. Nay, the very trees and rocks were sensible to the charm. The former crowded round him and the latter rela...
  • Skin From Harrisons Back
    4,483 words
    english-creative writing MEAT JACKET I fear that our technology has far exceeded our humanity -Albert Einstein RETINAL DELIGHT NIGHTCLUB, 9: 32 PM She was an alluring woman, to say the least. Her auburn hair was cut in a razor-thin line across her cheeks, jutting out a full three inches from her lips. It was cut short enough to allow the small strand of pearls around her neck to be in full view, but long enough to keep her from looking butch. Although Harrison doubted that short hair alone would...
  • Bushes And Trees
    1,137 words
    I switched on my flashlight. I didn't know what to expect as I entered the murky forest. The only other source of light came from the bright full moon. The air was wet and thin, it smelled like a swamp. I didn't like to admit it but I was afraid. 'Come on Ivy, if you ever want to get out of this place you have to make it to the wormhole on the other side,' I reassured himself. I pointed my flashlight to the ground to see where I was going. An old looking path lead my way. As I went in deeper, li...
