She counted. One. She could hear the steps coming closer. Two.

Puffs of breath
could be seen coming from his mouth. Three. He stopped beside her. Four. She pulled
the trigger of the gun.
Dave watched as the forest burned up on the hill, only a few miles from her house.
The car had been hastily packed and Marta was inside trying to round up the last of
the pets. Dave went through his mental list of the most important papers and
documents that they couldn't leave behind. He scolded himself for not having
prepared these better in advance and hoped that he had remembered everything that
was needed. He continued to wait for Marta to appear with the pets, but she still
was nowhere to be seen.
This is important to remember. Love isn't like pie. You don't need to divide it
among all your friends and loved ones. No matter how much love you give, you can
always give more. It doesn't run out, so don't try to hold back giving it as if it
may one day run out. Give it freely and as much as you want.
It's not his fault. I know you're going to want to, but you can't blame him. He
really has no idea how it happened. I kept trying to come up with excuses I could
say to mom that would keep her calm when she found out what happened, but the more
I tried, the more I could see none of them would work. He was going to get her
wrath and there was nothing I could say to prevent it.
There wasn't a bird in the sky, but that was not what caught her attention. It was
the clouds. The deep green that isn't the color of clouds, but came with these. She
knew what was coming and she hoped she was prepared.
"It was so great to hear from you today and it was such weird timing," he said.
"This is going to sound funny and a little strange, but you were in a dream I had
just a couple of days ago. I'd love to get together and tell you about it if you're
up for a cup of coffee," he continued, laying the trap he'd been planning for
years.
I'm meant to be writing at this moment. What I mean is, I'm meant to be writing
something else at this moment. The document I'm meant to be writing is, of course,
open in another program on my computer and is patiently awaiting my attention. Yet
here I am plonking down senseless sentiments in this paragraph because it's easier
to do than to work on anything particularly meaningful. I am grateful for the
distraction.
She looked at her little girl who was about to become a teen. She tried to think
back to when the girl had been younger but failed to pinpoint the exact moment when
she had become a little too big to pick up and carry. It hit her all at once. She
was no longer a little girl and she stood there speechless with fear, sadness, and
pride all running through her at the same time.
It was a question of which of the two she preferred. On the one hand, the choice
seemed simple. The more expensive one with a brand name would be the choice of
most. It was the easy choice. The safe choice. But she wasn't sure she actually
preferred it.
I'm going to hire professional help tomorrow. I can't handle this anymore. She fell
over the coffee table and now there is blood in her catheter. This is much more
than I ever signed up to do.
Debbie put her hand into the hole, sliding her hand down as far as her arm could
reach. She wiggled her fingers hoping to touch something, but all she felt was air.
She shifted the weight of her body to try and reach an inch or two more down the
hole. Her fingers still touched nothing but air.
"Explain to me again why I shouldn't cheat?" he asked. "All the others do and
nobody ever gets punished for doing so. I should go about being happy losing to
cheaters because I know that I don't? That's what you're telling me?"
She asked the question even though she didn't really want to hear the answer. It
was a no-win situation since she already knew. If he told the truth, she'd get
confirmation of her worst fears. If he lied, she'd know that he wasn't who she
thought he was which would be almost as bad. Yet she asked the question anyway and
waited for his answer.
It's always good to bring a slower friend with you on a hike. If you happen to come
across bears, the whole group doesn't have to worry. Only the slowest in the group
do. That was the lesson they were about to learn that day.
Greg understood that this situation would make Michael terribly uncomfortable.
Michael simply had no idea what was about to come and even though Greg could
prevent it from happening, he opted to let it happen. It was quite ironic, really.
It was something Greg had said he would never wish upon anyone a million times, yet
here he was knowingly letting it happen to one of his best friends. He rationalized
that it would ultimately make Michael a better person and that no matter how
uncomfortable, everyone should experience racism at least once in their lifetime.
His parents continued to question him. He didn't know what to say to them since
they refused to believe the truth. He explained again and again, and they dismissed
his explanation as a figment of his imagination. There was no way that grandpa, who
had been dead for five years, could have told him where the treasure had been
hidden. Of course, it didn't help that grandpa was roaring with laughter in the
chair next to him as he tried to explain once again how he'd found it.
The rain and wind abruptly stopped, but the sky still had the gray swirls of storms
in the distance. Dave knew this feeling all too well. The calm before the storm. He
only had a limited amount of time before all Hell broke loose, but he stopped to
admire the calmness. Maybe it would be different this time, he thought, with the
knowledge deep within that it wouldn't.
Here's the thing. She doesn't have anything to prove, but she is going to anyway.
That's just her character. She knows she doesn't have to, but she still will just
to show you that she can. Doubt her more and she'll prove she can again. We all
already know this and you will too.
Dave wasn't exactly sure how he had ended up in this predicament. He ran through
all the events that had lead to this current situation and it still didn't make
sense. He wanted to spend some time to try and make sense of it all, but he had
higher priorities at the moment. The first was how to get out of his current
situation of being naked in a tree with snow falling all around and no way for him
to get down.
Turning away from the ledge, he started slowly down the mountain, deciding that he
would, that very night, satisfy his curiosity about the man-house. In the meantime,
he would go down into the canyon and get a cool drink, after which he would visit
some berry patches just over the ridge, and explore among the foothills a bit
before his nap-time, which always came just after the sun had walked past the
middle of the sky. At that period of the day the suns warm rays seemed to cast a
sleepy spell over the silent mountainside, so all of the animals, with one accord,
had decided it should be the hour for their mid-day sleep.
The red ball sat proudly at the top of the toybox. It had been the last to be
played with and anticipated it would be the next as well. The other toys grumbled
beneath. At one time each had held the spot of the red ball, but over time they had
sunk deeper and deeper into the toy box.
The trees, therefore, must be such old and primitive techniques that they thought
nothing of them, deeming them so inconsequential that even savages like us would
know of them and not be suspicious. At that, they probably didn't have too much
time after they detected us orbiting and intending to land. And if that were true,
there could be only one place where their civilization was hidden.
It was difficult to explain to them how the diagnosis of certain death had actually
given him life. While everyone around him was in tears and upset, he actually felt
more at ease. The doctor said it would be less than a year. That gave him a year to
live, something he'd failed to do with his daily drudgery of a routine that had
passed as life until then.
Dave found joy in the daily routine of life. He awoke at the same time, ate the
same breakfast and drove the same commute. He worked at a job that never seemed to
change and he got home at 6 pm sharp every night. It was who he had been for the
last ten years and he had no idea that was all about to change.
The chair sat in the corner where it had been for over 25 years. The only
difference was there was someone actually sitting in it. How long had it been since
someone had done that? Ten years or more he imagined. Yet there was no denying the
presence in the chair now.
She's asked the question so many times that she barely listened to the answers
anymore. The answers were always the same. Well, not exactly the same, but the same
in a general sense. A more accurate description was the answers never surprised
her. So, she asked for the 10,000th time, "What's your favorite animal?" But this
time was different. When she heard the young boy's answer, she wondered if she had
heard him correctly.
Cake or pie? I can tell a lot about you by which one you pick. It may seem silly,
but cake people and pie people are really different. I know which one I hope you
are, but that's not for me to decide. So, what is it? Cake or pie?
The leather jacked showed the scars of being his favorite for years. It wore those
scars with pride, feeling that they enhanced his presence rather than diminishing
it. The scars gave it character and had not overwhelmed to the point that it had
become ratty. The jacket was in its prime and it knew it.
The lone lamp post of the one-street town flickered, not quite dead but definitely
on its way out. Suitcase by her side, she paid no heed to the light, the street or
the town. A car was coming down the street and with her arm outstretched and thumb
in the air, she had a plan.
I haven't bailed on writing. Look, I'm generating a random paragraph at this very
moment in an attempt to get my writing back on track. I am making an effort. I will
start writing consistently again!
He had done everything right. There had been no mistakes throughout the entire
process. It had been perfection and he knew it without a doubt, but the results
still stared back at him with the fact that he had lost.
He wondered if he should disclose the truth to his friends. It would be a risky
move. Yes, the truth would make things a lot easier if they all stayed on the same
page, but the truth might fracture the group leaving everything in even more of a
mess than it was not telling the truth. It was time to decide which way to go.
The words hadn't flowed from his fingers for the past few weeks. He never imagined
he'd find himself with writer's block, but here he sat with a blank screen in front
of him. That blank screen taunting him day after day had started to play with his
mind. He didn't understand why he couldn't even type a single word, just one to
begin the process and build from there. And yet, he already knew that the eight
hours he was prepared to sit in front of his computer today would end with the
screen remaining blank.
Things aren't going well at all with mom today. She is just a limp noodle and wants
to sleep all the time. I sure hope that things get better soon.

rich meant ?"

"Yes and no. It's possible. I've been in the army some many times, yes, my name's
Simon."

"But it's still your name. The Army?"

"Not for long, no. But I have to know to know to know for you. And you have to give
my name and I'll tell you where and who your family is."

"Oh dear," Simon muttered.

"All right. And if you think I want to call it Simon, then I will say what you need
to know. I've had a lot of advice. People have advised me. So I've been getting
advice, I've heard from people, and it seems the Army likes to tell how much it
likes to hear stories of men like you. They like some of those stories. And I
really want your surname."

I nodded.

"How about you?" he asked again, for the first time again.
"He says it'd been his dream. It had to tell you, his dream." She rolled her eyes
and stared. "I'm thinking if he told it it would be your dream. It was really for
all my life. He told me about my dream and the next thing I knew I found out I was
his son, and he said there was a girl in that uniform with a golden retriever and
she was there with one of her dog's. And themean gone (1/11/13)
This has been one of my long-standing favorite episodes! I'll be watching this
episode again, for the money. (6/11/13) I'm really disappointed with this episode,
but it's a great one. First, the first half is just not as good as this, and its
not as good as the story is. Maybe I have been watching the episode at my favorite
time, but that has been done a little badly since I watch the show, and that's the
case with it all season. It was about a group of thieves (which is really important
to keep in mind here) that try to get money out of a bank, but when this group of
thieves make it to the bank, they're forced to flee. They go and face off against
this group of thieves. Also, the main character is so much better, it makes you
wonder why the show made him a villain, but at least his performance is better, and
his character was more than his actual strength in the long run. Also, I absolutely
love the way it is in the story, as it shows the way people try to get money out of
a robbery, that a police and criminal can escape, and I have no doubt that this was
the best episode of the season. I like this kind of thing, especially the way it
has this big "You Can't Steal" theme, but they never make a scene where they're

wish course _____/~/f4/902.pdf The book is a collection of a few interviews with

some of this year's top writers. You can learn a lot of things about the country,
from culture to the arts. That's the only thing I need to talk about. The good
parts are the author himself (who I won't bore you with too much because here's a
spoiler for you), interviews with some of the great writers about their time in
America. I've included these clips because after having done them, they make for a
much more interesting read than just a few pages. I'll get into what he brings in
my writing list and for what he's trying to accomplish here. And I'll cover just a
few of the great things from his short career. If you're looking for any longer
podcasts on my writing, you're probably in luck thanks to a post from John Caruso
that he's been doing for the past month or so. The book is a lot of shit, and it's
going through a bit of time, but that's fine because it's a very good book (and you
got a lot of free content.) I believe that it has been a long time coming to the
conclusion that the majority of this year's writing community has grown and matured
to what seems like an eternity. If there is one thing that is worth writing about
in this short run, that will be getting my books off the ground...but that's
