pushing the little round door bell‚ my grandma was there to greet me with a smile of excitement‚ a big bear hug‚ and a loving kiss on the cheek. Walking into the hallway‚ my mouth watered as I enlightened my nose with the scent of good ole’ grams home cooking. She was playing some 50’s jazz music on her antique phonograph like always. I asked how Pepper ‚ my grandmas pet Dalmatian‚ was doing. Grandma told me that she was out in the back yard and suggested I visit her. She slowly turned and made

art class‚ grabbed my backpack and hurriedly made my way out of the school. I decided not to take the bus and just walk to the alley instead. My parents were at work anyway and my older brother was at a friend’s house so nobody would know if I was at home or not. I had only been walking a few blocks when I got an eerie feeling that someone was following me. I stole a quick glance behind me and saw an old man dressed in all black. The man was probably about 70 years old with shoulder-length white hair

The motto of New London comes to mind when anyone starts to question the society: ’Trust in the Great Megaton‚ for the sake of society’. I’m walking home from my job as a newspaper article writer. I’m bringing home eggs‚ bread and milk. Another Friday. My wife Ashley is cooking her neighbourhood award winning casserole. My children are playing with their toy trucks and probably fighting over who gets to play with the big yellow cement

I miss them already. Despite the freezing cold snow and the nipping air‚ we had a lovely Christmas break. As I inspect my child‚ now grown with children of her own‚ holding tickets back to their home‚ longing envelopes me. Hoards of people push past‚ unaware of my pain‚ on their own schedules and heading toward different trains‚ talking and texting on their cell phones. My family boards‚ time as if in slow-motion‚ and motions goodbye until I see them again. I can’t do anything but wave‚ a fake

“Nooo!” was the first thing that cried out of my mother’s mouth as the back entryway swung open. The chipped wood on the door‚ the scattered coins‚ the front door wide open‚ and the red purse turned upside down had the entire family in shock. This would be a Thanksgiving Day the whole family would never forget. It would likewise be my first phone call to the police.

One of my favorite places to just sit and stare in amazement is a baseball field. There is so much to look at and take in before during‚ and after a baseball game. When you first walk up to a nice baseball field it takes your breath away. The freshly cut grass not only puts off a fresh‚ relaxing smell floating in the air‚ but the sight of the bright vivid green can not be compared to anything.
