Flash Fiction

     Sarah was woken abruptly by the sound of her alarm. The sun didn't shine through her bedroom window like it always did when her alarm clock sounded. The clock read five-thirty in the morning, and that's when Sarah remembered that she was leaving for Italy today! She sprang out of bed, careful not to trip over her overflowing suitcase she had packed a week in advance. She brushed her teeth and put on her outfit she had laid out the night before. The time had finally come to load up in the car, and Sarah and her family drove to the airport. The roads were almost empty, and the sun had started to rise behind the buildings they drove by. She grew more and more excited with every passing minute. Once Sarah and her family arrived at the airport, she was bursting with excitement. She marched through the sliding doors with her passport in hand, and she knew this would be the best week of her life.

       This weekend, my friends and I went ice-skating. The whole week before, we had planned it out, and we were all so excited. Whenever we drove to the rink, there were so many cars and I was under the impression that it was going to be so crowded. I was quite disappointed because I knew it wouldn't be as much fun if there were loads of people there. As we walked inside, I felt the air grow colder and I immediately got so much more excited.        I put on my skates and I went onto the ice. To my surprise, the ice skating rink was not crowded and I knew I would have fun. When I stepped onto the ice, I realized I hadn't skated in what felt like years. I practiced along the edges until I could finally do it on my own. My friends and I were having so much fun, we didn't even realize the time. We were all so upset  at the fact that is was time to go. So, we all took off our skates, and we knew that we would come back soon.

The Very Old Man With Enormous Wings

     The short story  The Very Old Man With Enormous Wings  is a story about a peculiar man with wings who upsets the whole town. The over all setting of this story is in a small town on the coast sometime in the twentieth century. The story demonstrates a very eerie, gloomy vibe through the characters actions and words. For example, it describes the very old man as a pitiful circus animal and often refer to him as a "captive". The weather is also described as a rainy, ash-grey day, which creates a sad scene.        One of the questions I have about VOMEW is how did the angel get there in the first place, or was he there by accident? Was he sent there to make things better? If so, he may have completed his mission, while sacrificing himself. For example, the sick child no longer had a fever when he arrived. But, while he made this family happy by bringing them money and health, he was held hostage and ridiculed by other citizens.

             On St. Patrick's Day, our school hosted a softball tournament where we played a school from New Orleans called McGhee. It was one of our first few games, so we were a little nervous going in to play. The game ended pretty quickly, and they won by over ten points. We were all let down that we had lost, but we knew that we would play them again. This weekend was our second game against them, and we went to New Orleans to play. We were all excited and nervous to play them again, but I had a good feeling about the game.              We got there, warmed up, and the game started. It started very similarly to our first game against them, so we started to loose our energy. However, my team started to get some hits, get on bases, and get some runs. We got more and more excited as we got more runs, and when we were down by three, a girl on my team hit the ball out of the park with bases loaded. We were all so ex...
