Almost all the cars had started flashing their lights on and off. I knew what was coming. Being on a two lane road there wasn’t much a person could do to get in front of a slow moving vehicle. My mom kept telling me to keep a cars length of distance between me and the slow car in front of me. I was doing the speed limit and the other driver was‚ obviously

This story actually surprised me because of all Gaiman books I have read from The Graveyard Book to The Ocean at the End of the Lane‚ none were so entrench in science fiction.

day as me and my cousins sat around the tank at our ranch as we thought of something to do after the morning dove hunt was over. I was 10‚ my cousin Lane was twelve‚ and the rest of my cousins ages ranged all the way from seven to thirteen. We were all drained from the sun‚ with our young age we couldn’t sit in the sun and possibly have an energy. Lane is the oldest as he lead the pack with such a great lead he was disappearing over the distant hills. Austin was so young we were having to carry his

A Trip Down Memory Lane The stars have been shining brightly under the dark blanket of the sky. Thin little gray clouds hover around casting light shadows on the face of the moon.

“Fantasy: something that is produced by the imagination : an idea about doing something that is far removed from normal reality.” To many‚ The Ocean at the End of the Lane reflects the Merriam-Webster’s definition.
