“Waaalter! I’m going to the grocery store. I want the laundry folded and dishes washed by the time I get home.” calls Mrs. Mitty “Okay dear,” Walter replied. Walter dragged himself from the couch into the kitchen and began washing the dishes. He hummed to himself a song that gets him going when doing work around the house. Poketa-clap-clap Poketa-clap-clap-clap. As he was washing the dishes his daughter, Little Isabelle, ran into the room energized and excited; she kept tugging on his shirt begging for him to dance with her. “Daddy, daddy, daddy. Please dance with me,” she would beg. “Izzie I have work to do around the house,” Mitty replied. “Then take a break. You work too hard. Take a break for me pleeeease,” Mitty looked down to his …show more content…
It’s almost our turn to dance.” An older version of Isabelle was pacing backstage scared that she would mess up. “Sweetie we’ve been practicing for a long time. Don’t be nervous. I will be here with you the whole time. “What if we mess up the Poplocketair and lose.” “As long as we do our best I’ll be happy”. Walter said with a big smile. A loud roar of applause came from the audience. Mitty and Izzie joined hands and walked onto the stage. They took a deep breathe and the music started. Poketa-clap-clap. Poketa-clap-clap-clap. Poketa-pause-poketa-pause. Clap-clap-clap. They started to jive across the floor; spinning and Mitty lifting his daughter in the air. The the music changed and they started doing hip-hop. The crowd was happy and having fun watching them dance. At one point the audience started to clap along to the beat. Then it was time for the Poplocketair, which includes them doing 10 synchronized robotic steps and Mitty launching Izzie into the air to do a backflip and land in a sassy pose. Sweat started to roll down Mitty’s face as he looked over to Izzie five beats before the synchronized dance sequence. Izzie smiled at her dad and he smiled back, the Poplocketair began. The lights started to flash to the beat and the steps. After that, Izzie backed up, Mitty envisioned the step going perfectly; when he opened his eyes Izzie was about to put his foot into his hands to

    Imagine your life flashing before you. What you had yesterday, you might not have today. Your loved ones you had a conversation with and were able to see days ago, might have been the last time you might ever talk to them and see them. All of this happens within minutes and without any warning. Put yourself in the position of someone who has to question if they will be able to see the sun rise the next morning; like myself.…

    As he sat stiff backed and upright in the hard wooden chair, Jotham looked around anxiously. He could only see three of the walls, and the ceiling, if he craned his neck upwards, but that was enough to make him very uneasy indeed. They were grey and bare - not silver grey, but a horrible murky grey, that made it seem like everything was closing in on him. The room was rectangular; not at all wide; there was perhaps a metre between him and the nearer two walls, but it was extremely lengthy; probably about fifteen metres long.…

    Prototype 17, also known as Joey, had been created for a purpose. A purpose she has yet to discover. Her creator had a unique idea in mind, which no one had thought of before. He was an interesting man. His mind, as vast as the universe that he lived in, supplied him with endless ideas. But only one did he attempt to develop. He continually struggled to create the perfect Chimera, but each time he failed to do so. His inventions just didn’t serve the purpose he was aiming for. However, he never gave up on his dreams! That is, until one fateful day. Soon after he started work on his 17th project, something horrible occurred. It all happened within a matter of days; the disappearance of the humans. The air on earth had changed. Something caused the oxygen on our planet to become poisonous. No one knew how this happened, and no one ever found out. At least, not up until now.…

    Hello my name is and I am writing in regards to the horrible experience my husband and I had at our last visit at Dairy Queen. We were coming back from Illinois and saw your sign off of the express way, and decided to stop as a treat for our 3 small children. We stopped at the store in Rensselaer, IN. My husband and I decided to split your Moolate'. My husband asked the cashier if she could go heavy on the coffee because he had a bit of a drive still ahead of him. The cashier was very nice and respectful. She said it was "no problem." We did appreciate her effort, but the drink was horrible. Neither my husband nor myself could even take a second sip. We decided to go back through the drive thru, I explained to Mandy B. (who claimed to be manager at the time) that we…

    How could he just treat us all like we were cattle as if it was nothing? The speedometer crept up to 60 miles per hour. Didn’t he care that people everywhere were starving? How could he do this? When he was elected he promised that he would Make America Great Again. 70 miles per hour. I had to get to the rally. We needed change, we could be that change. 80 miles per hour. My thoughts were interrupted as my eyes caught the reflecting glow of red and blue lights paint the night sky behind me. Crap. I pulled over and turned off the car, ready to feed the officer behind me a great line about how my grandmother was on her death bed and wanted me and only me to be at her side. My eyes shifted and glanced to the side mirror, the officer straightened out his already tucked in uniform and smoothed his hands over his hair as he made his way from his cruiser. Great, I thought. I wonder how many reprimands this stiff is gonna write me up for. My record already had 14 points on it for picketing, 6 more and I’d be in real trouble. He knocked on the window…

    I felt expelled and exiled, sitting in a room filled only with a bed. White walls which painted no imagination, no hope just emptiness; yet they still assured me I was meant to be here. Every day was the same as the last, every memory I captured had slowly escaped. I was considered dangerous, vile and out of control; these words constantly surrounded me, swirling around in the echoes of the halls. 15 years I have been here, and still not once has my voice box being strained. Everyday new comers are filling the halls with recent experiences, these are the only colour these halls ever hold, the only colour we are ever able to grasp and use to paint our own ideas of community; they enable us oldies to once again imagine. Soon enough the halls go back to plain white and emotionless passages and so to do my imaginations, the images that i had held slowly fade over and over again until i am left with nothing. This only reminded me of what was familiar.…

    Upon arrival, the teacher of the day, Stepahnie, told us she choreographed a dance to Hallelujah, by Jeff Buckley. She had been inspired by Mia Michael's routine on the previous night's episode of So You Think You Can Dance. Since I had watched the episode, I knew the exact song and dance she was talking about. It was a beautiful song and heart-wrenching routine. It had not only brought tears to my eyes, but also to the judges. I couldn't be more excited to be there and learn a beautiful dance. What I hadn't thought of is how this dance would affect me.…
