It was just another day at Stephen Hawking Middle School. I headed to my homeroom, feeling refreshed and ready after a good night’s rest. I hung out with my friends and talked about what happened over the weekend. Gabi says that she went on a weekend trip upstate to go skiing. Jack says he ate hotpot with his relatives from Seattle. And Aaron, unsurprisingly, just napped a lot.  Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to our friend group. Gabi has the most angelic voice I've ev

New Zealand: Pavlova Every country in the world has some dessert for Christmas, and New Zealand is no exception. During the winter holidays, many people from New Zealand bake the dessert known as pavlova in celebration for the festive season.

Canines have unique nose-prints, are super social, and pants to cool down. Whiskers that navigate surroundings, ears that can hear sounds up to 64kHz, and scratches up your couch without a care in the world, now that’s your ordinary household cat. Dogs vs. Cats. Who’s actually better? Cats Cats originate from the felix sylvestris lybica, and are owned by 29% of American households.

“Let me go! I shouted through the mask covering my mouth. The room was dark and cold. The chair I was sitting on was stiff and wobbly. Someone came up to me. They had something in their hands. Something sharp. Something that could hurt me. Don’t be deceived by the weak chair that holds you up,” came a voice that sounded close yet eerily distant. The clacking of her high heels against the co “You can try to escape but you won't. The floor echoed through the empty room where I

It’s 4 am. I wake up abruptly, to the worst, most horrifying smell. I only smell this rarely, and I detest it. But, I’m too tired to pursue it, I’ll wait till it goes away. 4:20 am . How has it only been 20 minutes? That lethal smell hasn’t gone away, in fact it’s gotten worse. On top of that, I keep hearing these loud voices. “It's only a dream,” I mumble.  4:30 am . This time, I widened my eyes, having this weird premonitory feeling of the suspicious smell. The voices only

All the clocks stop for six minutes and seven seconds, and if you listen closely, you might hear soft whispers in the air, six or seven of them! This year, I decided to find out what was going on. I followed the sounds to a crumbling old house at the very end of Sixty-Seventh Street, a place no one had visited for six or seven years! Inside, the air was dusty and still. On the rug, I fou

Prologue: Harper Hospital; Texas, USA 10/31/20 3:00 am            It’s finally the end of my 14 hour shift at the hospital. Coffee…  I can take a nap. Coffee… Is it my day off tomorrow?

Part 1 Tick-tock. “Oliver!” My mom’s voice echoes up the stairs. “Your alarms have been ringing for five times already!” I groan, burying my face into the pillow. “I’m up!” I lied.

During math I caught his gaze on me. Our eyes locked for one second and he looked away immediately, smiling a little bit. “His name is Kyle” I said for the tenth time. “I know, Kylie,” Kelly said. “ You have said it like 10,000 times already” She told me with that heavy feeling in her voice which meant she was annoyed but she would still listen. It was because she loved having me as company and having me to talk to when it seemed that there was no one else she could talk to i

Time is significant; it can be spent in many different ways. You can learn an instrument or a new language. However, when it comes to space, things take a considerable amount of time. It takes over 240 years for Pluto to rotate around the sun, and over 230 million years for the sun to orbit the Milky Way. And the main element that takes time in space travel is distance. It takes at least 7 months to travel 33.9 to 62 million miles to Mars, so imagine trying to travel interst
