The 4th of July A sliver of the sun crested it’s bright head over the horizon‚making Applegate glow a golden orange.Today the small island was busy with a bustling feeling of excitement as we prepared for the coming tsunami of extended family and close friends. The decorations were set and the flag rose high over the cottage‚flaunting its patriotism. I walked past the mirror like water waiting to meet any disturbance with a sudden flood of ripples. We rode over to the shore waiting to load our boat

The night sky was upon us; the diamond had no illumination except for a single bulb mounted on the side of the equipment shed. Tryouts for the 10U fastpitch team had run late and were finishing up under the light of the stars. In any case‚ I felt perfectly content and in my element‚ as though this sport had chosen me; not the other way around. Its complexity challenged my cognitive abilities and electrified my motor skills in a manner unlike any other. As I packed up my gear‚ the coach’s voice could

The republican sniper turned over the dead body and looked into a face much like his own. The realization of his brother’s blood on his hands was too much for him‚ without even realizing it he was overcome with red hot tear streaming down his cheeks. It’s not something the average man encounters‚ to see his own face‚ blood streaming down his head from a bullet wound‚ eyes bloodshot and wide open with a gaping hole in between his eyes.

It is summer time‚ in the middle of June. The smell of the salty air‚ cool breeze of the gulf coast is enough to make my heart flutter. As I look out into the beautiful clear blue sky‚ I see it filled with kites of many colors‚ shapes and sizes. I look off in the distance and come upon a working shrimp boat with its net dragging behind capturing the daily catch‚ with seagulls flying around waiting for an easy meal. Standing there you can’t help but hear the rolling wave’s crash at the water’s edge

My favorite place is my grandfather’s log cabin in Leakey‚ Texas. It is not fancy or anything special but it is my home away from home. I helped built it when I was very young and I go there any chance I get. The 4th of July is the best time of the year down there. The cabin is located on Saddleback Mountain. The cabin looks grey and black because of all the weathering. The front porch is huge and you can see the mountains and trees for miles. We normally go out in the mornings and watch the sunrise

Rocket Man I am finally ready. The ever so daunting transition between childhood and adulthood was now staring me in the face. After almost eighteen years of laughter‚ love and tears. The world around me had slowly but methodically changed me for the better. And it was not till now that I realised how unbelievably thankful I am for it. For every pain there was a pleasure‚ for every failure there was hope and for every angered word held back from my mouth‚ there were moments of pure happiness. It

I’ve seen it all. The horrible facsimile of reality we live in is beginning to break down. Things aren’t right. I’ve seen things. Things that make me question my sanity. A recent trip to the grocery store turned into a Lovecraftian nightmare. I usually have to go to three different grocery stores because crème fraîche is impossible to find in this land of abundance and my fancy French cookbook calls for it in nearly every recipe. Grocery stores are demonic. The vast selection of yogurts alone should
