Whether written centuries ago or just last year, literary couples show that love is timeless.
11:00am – The Rose Path
I look out over the garden seeing beautiful shrubs and trees and flowers, which grow amply and look healthy and vibrant. I take a sip from my tea, and it is pleasant enough, the light I see is both clear and bright and I can see it illuminate the faces of the people around the garden, talking and looking and living. That’s the power of the mind, to delude even ourselves that we aren’t always living, because we as a condition of having this very thought; incite those moments which are memorable aside those which are forgettable. And in this balance comes fourth the design of storytelling, as if only to break the eighth wall. Where it is in our natural tongue to convey, discuss, express and argue, continuously, but it is this very mundane endurance of repetition, year-in-year-out, which causes these moments to become petite.

Phoenician Alphabet
Egyptian hieroglyphics, from which the Phoenician alphabet originated, became the most widespread writing system of Phoenician merchants throughout the Mediterranean, where it developed and was assimilated by many other cultures. In this article, we will not only discuss the first writing methods and alphabetic characters that have appeared in the area, but also look at some of them and their influence on the development of phenomena and their role in the development of writing systems in other parts of Europe.

10.30am – The Oakhill
I drive my silent vehicle into Sycamore Lane looking out for the grounds of number 31 – The Oakhill. A Live-in Home where one of my closest friend’s Mr. R Lester resides. I have known him since I was a boy, and it is all true that he is ostentatious, egregious, pious, hot-willing, inordinate, garish and bizarre. He is entirely complex and has always shown as much, tossing ten pence to the pound to flow beyond the limits of a dreams reach. Which leaps fourth with its fingertips onto something magnanimous and imprudent. Hence his adorned title: Mr. Lavish. It seems odd and ridiculous to pay so much attention to this fact, that at all times it seemed even he was tender of his anxiousness, as to precede the thought which takes an individual from and not to the place one needs to be. The Dreaming Trinket.

Not Ready To Go
I let my foot off the throttle to merge behind a truck. I could have floored it, thrown myself back in my seat, blew beyond the speed limit on the short on-ramp. Instead, I played it safe. Just as I had every other day in my life. I never understood risky behavior when it would likely get myself killed.

The Social
1914 Kansas City, Kansas The punch was the least of his concerns. Neatly dressed and doing his very best not to look stiff, he sipped the small crystal teacup of punch, trying to make it last as long as he could. He was of average height, neither chubby nor twiggy. It was his bright red hair that made him stand out, that and his devotion to God. Once that had been fodder for his classmates’ imagination, but they long since moved on to more interesting things. It was as all the world grew up, except him.

I will get to those times and hopefully pass them quick. I have to allow you to know of the survival and life that I have known.

Happening 2 fast
Everyone knows that growing up isn’t easy it’s like the older you get the more frustrating things become especially for a female. You always have to keep up with the latest trends, hairstyles ect. You have to worry about fitting in, which is not that easy because we aren’t exactly the best people to get along with.However, boys or men have it just as hard as females, like being at the wrong place at the wrong time or hanging around the wrong crowd. One girl by the name of Briana and a boy by the name of chris, both had to learn that sometimes it’s easier to mind your own business and stay in your lane.

"Dark Windows"
*While I was watching Sunset Boulevard one night I was listening to Joe and Betty describe a story for a movie script. If you have seen the movie you may know what I am going for, but for those who haven't I will not spoil it. The general idea was not mine alone, though I have been intrigued by the notion since watching the film.*
