Long Overdue!

Time for a facelift. This theme is full of bugs and impossibly redundant sidebars that have given Miracle nothing but grief, but it was free and you get what you pay for. But now there’s some cash involved, so we’ll be getting a worthy theme.

Inundation of Hallucination

Here’s just a funny short (our maximum was 300 words!) story that I had to write for one of my classes…so….enjoy! :)

 

I looked over the edge of the deck to the crystal water below. The full moon shone down and so majestically made its mark on the ethereal dress of the sea. Even though this moment would be considered serene by anyone’s standards, I had a vague sense of uneasiness rising inside of me. Suddenly that feeling of foreboding was replaced with fear and trepidation as I heard shouting growing louder and louder behind me. Something was terribly wrong.

Charley came running onto the deck and began rummaging through the chest on the starboard side of the ship. I ran to him for an explanation; Charley knew everything. “What’s all the shouting about?” I asked him with a hint of fear in my voice.

He stopped what he was doing and looked at me hesitantly. “The ship is beginning to sink,” he replied finally, failing at his obvious attempt to keep his voice steady. I gulped. Even I knew that this was not good. I wanted to run to a safe haven, and pretend that everything would be alright, but I knew that was impossible for soon the whole ship would be at the bottom of the sea.

“What can I do to help?” I asked.

Without uncertainty Charley replied, “Help me look for the flares” quietly adding, “It’s the only hope we have left.”

I nodded, and began searching alongside of him for the hidden flares. We found them among the ropes, and quickly sent them up. For a few minutes that felt like forever, we sat in silence, waiting. We were elated as we saw a ship coming.

Our hearts sank as we realized that it was a pirate ship…

A Veces (Sometimes)

For Spanish class, we had to write sad breakup poetry. So I did. And here it is! At the bottom there is a translation, for those who don’t read Spanish. I hope it’s not too sad… This may undergo some changes, because I’m not sure whether I conjugated all the verbs correctly, so please do inform me if something is wrong! Hearts!

–
A veces, él me amó
A veces, no
Hoy, no me ama
Y no tiene mí y no me importa
Porque es el fin del amor
Pero eso no es cierto
Sí, me importa si me tiene
Pero
Pero
Pero
Las noches están vacía sin él
Recuerdo cuando nos beseábamos abajo de las estrellas
Y las estrellas reían porque nunca había una pareja mas contenta
Sonrían a nosotros
Sonriábamos a las estrellas en el cielo negro
En estos tiempos, las estrellas no sonrían a mí
No reían tampoco
Pero no quiero volver a él
Porque a veces, él me amo
Y otros veces, no.

Sometimes, he loved me
Other times, no
Today, no
And he doesn’t have me and I don’t care
Because it’s the end of love
But this is not true
Yes, I care if he has me
But
But
But
The nights are empty without him
I remember when we kissed beneath the stars
And the stars laughed because there never was a couple so happy
They smiled at us
We smiled at the stars in the black sky
These days, the stars do not smile at me
Nor do they laugh
But I don’t want to go back to him
Because sometimes, he loves me
And other times, no.
