The noises get louder. Each word spoken in a soft monotonous tone. Creating the urge, creating the guilt. Diminishing the line between sanity and reality. Slowly, sharp edges sweep away the pain. Tears of red stream down the arm in hope of something new to feel in the attempt of forgetting.

Barbara knew three things about Elliot... He wasn’t like other boys, he rarely slept, and his diet was, let’s just say, out of the ordinary. Elliot was grateful for her understanding. Not many girls could put up with a lactose intolerant, anemic insomniac who happened to be prone to sunburns.

I’m sitting in the sophomore area trying to write a mini-saga. But I can’t. I’ve left it to the last second and I am desperately searching for ideas. “Dude, I can’t do this!” A teacher walks by confiscating backpacks. There’s a carpet, scattered trash, three people trying to think.

On August 5,1945, it was finally completed.
After 25 years of toil it was finally open. The mayor took his unneccesarily collossal
scissors and cut the ribbon. The humongous monster which exhausted workers
and annoyed citizens who could not wait was finally finished.
The largest hospital in central Hiroshima, done.

The gigantic gray waves towered above the tiny blue sailboat. Its checkered sail flapped furiously in the wind. The waves sucked it, sails and all, into the swirling depths below, only momentarily, then thrust to the surface, safe again by swirling strands of water foaming up under the crash.
