Positive Description: One of the greatest things in the world is sitting down at the table and seeing a huge plate piled with Spaghetti.

Grocery stores are demonic. The vast selection of yogurts alone should

His ruthless heart on the ruby-splattered blade of its guiltless bearer‚ he dropped like a stone to the bloodstained turf‚ letting a cry of anguish blend in with the rapidly retreating footsteps of his cowering soldiers. He knew he would survive‚ but they didn’t‚ and at that moment in time them not knowing was what really mattered. He stared through his supposedly closed eyelids at his killer.

While sitting at the shoreline I am reminded why the beach is my peaceful spot‚ with the screeching sounds of seagulls scurrying about for food along the shore line‚ the smell of barbeque cooking‚ loud music coming from the jeeps passing by‚ and families coming together. Being relaxed and at peace I allow myself to drift off for a peaceful nap. I am soon awoken by the tide coming

There’s just something about nature that takes my breath away and takes me to a different dimension. It makes feel so calm and so at ease with myself.

They said this would be for the greater good‚ but seems like the total opposite. “This is a new era in warfare!”‚ “World peace at last!”‚ their voices scream in my head. To me‚ it’s all bullcrap. Look at where it got us. No world peace. No safe haven. I look and see emptiness.The city is empty‚ quiet‚ and lifeless
