The Wings Of Ever

I looked at them and saw disbelief in their eyes. They just couldn’t believe what I was saying. Not contradicting me but not showing any sign of understanding they said that they knew what I meant. Their face expression was arrogant and they thought they were superior. I couldn’t help noticing that they were holding back from laughing. I shouted at them out loud that they couldn’t understand because they were too little, too human, too lost in their selfish, empty worlds.
They were telling that I need help. I disagreed. I knew for sure that if they couldn’t see past appearances they won’t be able to help me. Let’s face it they couldn’t help themselves. They didn’t want to help the other, not when they were showing that smirk on their faces.
I told them that I would prove them that they are wrong and I will do so by showing them my wings. Rising their eyebrows they asked me to do so. I closed my eyes and concentrated on nothing else but my purpose in this life. I knew that they will see my aura and my white wings will wake up the faith in them. I was wrong; they were too blind to see. They just wanted me to turn into one of them, into a mediocre individual who will just have to cut his wings of because society does not believe in miracles.

Let Us Dream Away Life

She was sure that she will be chosen. It was this very moment when she had to get past the competition and catch the courage and confidence she needed to make this part hers. Feelings like uncertainty and fear were only for the weak. She knew that she couldn’t get nervous, that she wanted this part more than any other candidate and that her whole career depended on it.
As soon as she was called in, she walked with her head up high. She looked the judges right in the eye and started acting her favorite Shakespearian part, the one she considered most difficult to act. Her face was changing from act to act, portraying anger, excitement and sorrow. They all looked at her not blinking an eye, like futuristic robots that can’t express any emotion. When she finished her presentation she looked at them in silence, expecting their feedback but they were just sitting there.
She felt judged but not for her acting skills. A cold drop of sweat fell down her forehead and her eyes were soon to be interpreted as confused. The judges looked at her with their authority and crushed her dream breaking it into small little pieces. Shocked, she was standing in front of them, stiff, feeling empty inside. Her dream to become an actress was not going to come true. She had to walk away from it hoping to find a new dream soon.

The Real Life Heroes

The wind was blowing, the dark night started to cry and I was looking desperately for a way to get out of this uncomfortable situation. Even if I tried so hard to keep calm, senses started to amplify, scaring me with the interpretations of everything that was around. Fear is not an easy feeling to deal with and it can’t possibly be avoided when you are surrounded by darkness, by unidentified sounds and ice cold rain.
The fear of the unknown and the running towards the light are common things in everybody’s life. You sometimes tend to feel powerless when you are all alone and when you realize that your only hope is that someone will come to your rescue.
In nightmares, movie or fairytales, as well as in real life at one point or another we all need to be rescued. Heroes are among us, we just need to recognize them. They are always mistaken for ordinary people but they stand out whenever someone is in trouble.
People have always honored heroes for many reasons. Whether it is for their goodness, their bravery, their involvement, their ability to find the right way or for their daring deeds, heroes have always been the symbol and representation of hope. Above all these reasons heroes, are honored because in some moments of our lives, we all dream of being rescued.

Hello To The World Of Students

I am not going to share my name here, but I am a student in the Midwest, working towards getting into a school in a couple years. No one in my family has ever gone to college and I wanted to document my last two years of life here as I work my way to saving enough money to get into college.

I graduated high school back in 2005 and have really just been doing a lot of nothing but working a little bit over at the local grocery store. I have enjoyed working at the store, but have found that I need to go to school to better myself.

Five Stuck

This had started so perfectly but now we all knew that there is no way it was going to end in the same way. We had barely made it on to the island alive and were just hoping we can ruffle up a meal to keep the stomachs from rumbling. Our skins already had sores from the salty water that pinched us all the way to the shore as we paddled the rafts. Nature can be beautiful but trust me it felt like it was slapping us in the face when the wind threw sand and salt at you.
The five of us had to figure out how to get off this island and we had to do it soon. These phones always bragged that they were connected to satellites and all but that was all hype. I had made sure to keep mine dry and its full battery was just mocking me by allowing it to beep no signal. As we made a beeline towards wherever it was we would find ourselves, I couldn’t help but wish that this was some reality show. That would put me more at ease. Just as I was about to scream bloody murder at the world, we all walked face first into a glass barrier. This was worse than a reality show. Honey, we had been shrunk!
