March 7,1988- It seems a strange thing, as I put pen to paper, to try and capture forever the events that have transpired over the course of these past several weeks. This has been a transformative time for me, experiencing events I have never encountered or anticipated encountering. I believe everyone has, at times, considered in daydreams, doing something outside the norm such as climbing the tallest mountain peak or walking among lions on the Serengeti, but how many of us actually climb Mt. Everest, or go on safari? The occasional musing...

Running around the bend, sweat beginning to trickle down his back, Alex bobbed his head back and forth to the music funneling through his earbuds.

Vivian glanced out of the dining room window, pausing in her task of placing forks on the table. It was strange to look out of the window and see a street only a few yards away. Vivian missed the slightly undulating ranch land that she had grown up on. She glanced over at her father reclining in a chair, white hair reflecting the light as his head nodded in answer to whatever Julian was saying to him. Selling the ranch had been a wonderful choice for her parents with their advancing years. The tasks had always been hard, waking up in the mid...

Stepping steadily forward with arms outstretched Sheldon moved closer to his prey. Twin sister Zoe was approaching from the opposite side in a similar manner. Inching ever closer to the clueless rabbit, Sheldon caught his sister’s gaze and mouthed 1, 2. “Sheldon! Zoe!”, the deep voice bellowed across the yard. The twins froze in place, moving only their faces toward their father. Upon seeing his clouded features they walked toward him in unison. Father was the tallest of the three, his long dirty blond hair held back in pony tail with a leat...
