The Trek to Investigate Stryker 's Dam We had managed to Acquire the coordinates of a much Maligned Government base in the Arctic region of Alaska. My traveling companion and I would Undoubtedly have reached our target by the Eighth of the month. In order to embark on this journey I had had to overcome the Inhibition of my peers to do a hands on investigation of this decrepit abandoned government installation. As we approached a jagged outcropping of rock I stopped to survey our map, due to the lack of cell towers and electricity. Once again my friend asked; "Tell me again why we could not simply rent a small plane to reach Stryker 's bunker"? "You know why, I had said. First off, we are almost broke, and secondly, this is a no fly zone". …show more content…
We stopped to make camp when the sun begins to fade into the blackness of the woods. I then cooked some of our Ramen noodles over an open fire for a paltry dinner. When we woke in the morning we discussed our plan for that day, "We should reach Stryker 's by late afternoon", Orin stated. "I think we should set up next to the bunker, and start exploring it tomorrow", I said; "You know as well as I that there were some pretty shady dealings in there, and I definitely don 't want to encounter one of the lingerers in the dark". Orin shudders and said " You don 't think there is still anyone left in there do you"? " I don 't really know, I said. "We can hope not, but better safe than
Kristina and Trey gathered all of their little belongings mostly caring about the lockbox containing about $3,600 of the finest mexican glass a.k.a meth. Rushing out of their little apartment as soon as possible after seeing a wanted picture in the newspaper of kristina stealing money illegally with a fake id. She thought it was odd that she had very very little remorse about getting up and leaving without saying goodbye to her baby that wouldn't even recognize her, her mom which she stole her identity and money from. It didn't phase her and she kept loading what little belongings she had into Trey's mustang. They rushed onto the snowy freeway still tweaked as usual, but exhausted from no sleep like usual and running from the police and the mexican drug lord that they owe and weren't planning on paying back.
The Outsiders Sequel When I turned in my essay, my English teacher looked at my work in surprise. He flipped through my 7 pages of writing, and then set it on his desk. He said I could leave for the day, and that he would grade it as soon as he could. It was almost four o’clock, and Darry would kill me if I didn’t come home by four thirty.
The Other Wes Moore Wow! I feel like I knew Wes or people like Wes. Many boys like Wes grew up in my neighborhood. There were boys who tried to be cool so they hung out with the bad boys. We knew they were not bad boys nor were they cool.
It was a beautiful day for the beautiful game of baseball to be played in the friendly confines of Wrigley Field, Chicago: breezy, sunny, but not a scorching hot, sweat-bead kind of day. Merely six miles south of Wrigley Field, we boarded the CTA purple line el train, along with clusters and clusters of Chicago Cubs fans also getting on each and every rail car from who knows where. But, let me tell you, I was in awe; I have never been with so many true fans who knew, not only baseball, but knew the Cubs! “Who’s ready for the Cubs to crush the Astros!”
It’s spring now and the winter was terrible let me tell you. There were 10 people dying every day from starvation or freezing to death or disease it was terrible. When we were marching there from the last battle we heard that there was going to be food there for 8 months turns out there was only food for 8 days. General Edwin and a bunch of other soldiers and commanders asked if they could leave and George had to let them go he just asked them if they would come back in the Spring ready to go. Hundreds of soldiers deserted valley Forge and went back home to their families.
As the 104th moves on from their real first test of battle, Stash is relieved he made it out of there alive. One thing for sure that this first battle taught him is always to be aware of what is around him. He told himself, just like in training, he can’t take his eye off anything from this point forward. He now knows this is real. There is no going back now.
There is a place in East Africa that looks like another world. Emerald green water, yellow orange rocks and the yellow gas. The green water is extremely acidic. The reason why the water is acidic is because of the volcanic gases that seeps into the water. The water is almost as acidic as vinegar which has a PH level of 0-2.
The man looked onto the battlefield close and far as the dirt landed and slid off his face the sound of bombs were muffled the cries of men were sharp and penetrating he stood over the breech with such comfort while a hundred thousand fear riddled eyes stared from behind he turned his face deep wrickled and rugged filthy his eyes with dark bags underneath from nights with no sleep but the faces he saw were much different men no more than 30 with their whole lives maybe not even 10 minutes ahead of them he's seen it a hundred times before he knew these men were divided they were there together but they were going in it alone with this in mind the man stared back and spoke "At the edge of our hope... At the end of our time... WE CHOOSE TO BELIEVE
Good morning ladies and gentlemen. I am Albert George McGuire, Captain of the first Australian infantry battalion. On the 25th April 1915, we arrived in the port of Dardanelles. Part of the D squadron, we sailed up to the shore.
"Are you reading this? If you are, then you have woken. You have been in a coma for 23 years. Everything you've ever seen, felt, heard or tasted was a hallucination. Your friends weren't real.
Another day was so much like the one before, and the many before that. He walked the house and grounds, slowly, letting time pass as it must. Alone, present but not present, for can one truly be there if no one knows of it? Like the saying he’d heard more than once over the unmeasured time of his existence: If a tree falls in the forest but no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? He ambled through the back yard, pausing under the tree from which he’d been hanged, cursing his tormentors, vowing to haunt them for all time.
Drew was having a normal day, tracking down bandits, wearing his big duster coat and cowboy hat. He saw one and fired! He missed the bandit and Drew began to chase him. He heard a man yelling behind him. This is how it all started.
It was the beginning of World War One. The sun just started to dip behind the horizon. The sky is murky and grey. The clouds are black, surrounding us like symbols of death, reminding us soldiers of our mortality. The war planes whizzing through the sky were flying at rapid speed compared to the clouds that moved at their own pace, that has been given from God and it did not matter what else was happening beneath them.
These birds that would carry us into something unknown, there wouldn't be that could possible prepare us. We knew that we were going in to a war conflict, that we'd have to right. Staring at these planes was like staring at our caskets; Staring into the brown eyes of my child that weren't empty but filled with everything around us, including the reflection of my eyes, that were empty. It could've been 10, 100, or more, C-17's lined up and ready for take off, but it didn't really matter the feeling was the same- These birds were carrying us whether we were ready or
“ “Comrade!” A man raced in to the room, catching both their attentions. He looked panicked. “Something is happening outside: you must come and see it at once!” O’Brien cocked his head and asked, “What could be so important that I must come immediately?”
