Fiona Kirkland 13/12/12 Period 2 Erick The door slammed behind him as Erick dragged himself into the old house. “Mom, I’m home!” He yelled, dropping his backpack down on the worn rug. He ambled into the kitchen, and took his usual place at the table. “What's for dinner?” He said absently, grabbing an apple from the bowl on the table. As he did, his shirt rode up, showing part of his forearm. Erick quickly tugged his shirt down, and glanced nervously up at his mom before resuming his eating. “Oh

My head feels heavy, my hands are clammy, and I can’t seem to make my legs stop shaking. I’ve never done this before; I’ve never been to this place, and

As Natalie Freeman (my best friend) and I walked down Washington Court, Los Angeles we noticed an unusual package sitting in the gutter. It was a basic box, but it had odd parts added on to fit the size of whatever was inside. The other odd thing about it was that it had FORBIDDEN written all over it in big red letters.

You need to sit down for a minute so we can have a talk,” said Mrs. Ryan. Molly obeyed

Dawn and I pulled into the parking lot with thirty minutes to spare. The building loomed in front of us like a gray giant. The cold steel, glass, and concrete reflected the sunlight like some foreboding prism. My stomach developed “butterflies” at the very thought of entering. Dawn reached over and squeezed my hand, and for an instant, I saw the familiar glimmer in her eyes that I have relied on, over the years, to reassure me that all is right with the world. It had been awhile since I had seen

In this short story unit, I have read countless short stories that I thoroughly had a pleasure

My favorite short story from this unit was Roald Dahl’s “Lamb of the Slaughter.” This short story was very interesting and it was fun to
