It had been 3 months since the zombie outbreak occurred in Afghanistan, after the US military tested out a new weapon on Afghan prisoners of war. The unexpected results immediately infected a nearby village, and turned everyone there into mindless wandering beasts. With a single bite, these zombies could infect any human, and turn them into zombies within 5 minutes, and the only cure available is a bullet through the head.

"Hey, I'll be there in about 10 minutes, my cab driver just dropped me off. I'm going to pack my things and I'll meet you in the lobby."

Our garden was full of Poinsettias

glowing bright red

the spotlight of the backyard area.

Christmas is just right around the corner

our house was decorated with full of lights and wreaths

along with blooming flowers.

Neighbors were passing by

just to drop by, saying hi

and stare at our amazing decorations

I could already sense the Christmassy feel in the air

Excerpt: There was both truth and error in the impression; the child and mother were estranged, but through Hester’s fault, not Pearl’s. Since the latter rambled from her side, another inmate had been admitted within the circle of the mother’s feelings, and so modified the aspect of them all, that Pearl, the returning wanderer, could not find her wonted place, and hardly knew where she was.

I found this passage interesting because it seemed like an important twist in the plot…

His name was Bourey he said in a a cracked voice, trying to speak English properly, he was dark and skinny. I could say that he was tall by the lenght of his arms, moving agily the steering wheel of the automobile, dodging the crowd in front of the car.

There is this man named Andrew Wu,

He could never tell who is from who.

One day he walked down the streets of Shanghai,

And could never understand why the living expenses are so high.

He walked down to the river,

And starts to shiver,

He sees a person laying down in the river.

Hestarts to shout and call for help,

But theres is no one to help him out.

So he starts swimming like he's Michael Phelps.

He saves the man on his…

Staring at the picture

Don’t know if it’s sunrise or sunset

Each tells a different story

Looking from the left

The sky so gloomy,

Likes it’ll rain anytime

The calm surface of the lake

Quiet and chill

As if recovering from a…

When the night comes

the darkness call your name

When the night comes

Nothing will be the same

When the night comes

danger is found

When the night comes

sorrow is found

When the night comes

the innocent shall sleep

When the night comes

the sad shall weep

When the night comes

A promise shall be made

When the night comes

All trust…

As all the confusion was happening, the mechanics worked diligently to resolve problems caused by the devastating hurricane. Inspecting every single aspect,…

                Today, at Target, I witnessed a robbery that was unbelievable. A girl name Nancy was robbed by a really tall and thin men with a helmet on. This happened when I was eating at Starbucks. It surprised me because I didn’t think that something like this would happen in front of me.
