Serialized Story: Reality Check
Part 1: Level 1 Chapter 1: Awoken My body felt numb like it had been frozen like I had been sitting outside in a rainstorm for hours. I couldn’t open my eyes, and my arms felt heavy like the packed down snow in my driveway. My arms were tied to a cold-metallic object, and the room smelled like chemicals used in the science lab at school. I started to regain consciousness as my thoughts began to reform. The smaller details I could remember, but I didn’t know where I was or how I had gotten there. I felt an ever-colder presence than the feeling of ice running down my spine as if someone was watching me. As my mind finally started releasing the tension of sleep it had been holding, my eyes slid open one centimeter at a time.

Addicted to Animal Crossing!
February 2, 2022 Addicted to Animal Crossing By Victoria Ward Do you have a game that you can’t put down? Do you have a game that you play way too much and feel the need to hide the true number of hours you’ve played? Well, for me that is Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the Nintendo Switch. I started playing on December 26th, 2020, when my brothers bought me the game for Christmas. I have played it every day since then, and since then, my daily hours of playing have grown exponential. I have been spellbound by the idea of decorating an island to fit your personality, unearthing what the ground has to offer, dressing up for any event your island hosts, hosting your friends for those events, and going beyond your island to find what lies across the sea. If you’re not already addicted to Animal Crossing, I apologize, you might be by the end of this article.

Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton Review- Connections Through Time
We start at the end, with Kate Morton, as she gives a summary of her book: “The Clockmaker’s Daughter, is about time and timelessness, truth and beauty, maps and mapmaking, photography, natural history, and restorative properties of walking, brotherhood…, houses and the notions of home, rivers and the power of place, among others'' (Morton 483). Every point made above is elegantly bestowed through the perspectives of many characters who have had connections to a house in the woods.

Tennessee William's Red: Passion and Patience in the Desert
What Does the Earth Feel but Cannot Say? The significance for writing this paper is to reiterate and focus in on specific ideas Terry Tempest Williams brings up in Red: Passion and Patience in the Desert. Williams’s passion for the desert is the reason she wrote the book in the first place, and I will dig deeper into the way she writes to express nature. Red stands out as a work of literary non-fiction prose that explores Terry Tempest Williams’s attachment to the wilderness of Utah. Throughout the book, Williams portrays theme of beauty and destruction. She elaborately describes the beautiful landscapes of Utah and destruction of those landscapes. Unfortunately, animals, trees, and other parts of the outdoors cannot speak and ask for the destruction to stop. Terry Tempest Williams describe the suffering wilderness that cannot fight back by offering political, historical, and descriptive style. Williams writes about nature with deep connections to Utah and it amplifies her passion as she advocates to save the wilds of Utah and inspire others do the same in their area.

Awaited Magic Part 3
Ch. 3 Where’s the Cat? The next morning, I woke with Moon in my face wanting attention. I had no idea when the last time he was fed. However, from the looks of his rounded-out belly I think he feasts on the unfortunate mice creeping around the house. I rolled out of bed and sat Moon on the floor. My alarm clock read 8:00am, so it was a little early to be rising but I wanted to examine everything in this house from top to bottom; starting with the attic. I grew curious over night thinking about what might be under those tarps near the back wall. Moon gazed up at me with a look of longing for a bite to eat. I image we brought something he could snack on before his next catch. The cat began to rub against my leg with a passionate purr.

Awaited Magic Part 1(Reimagined):
Ch. 1 Moving In We moved to an old manor out in the middle of nowhere. Mom and Dad were the type of people who buy fixer upper houses, flipped them, and sold them back to the world. Was I excited about moving away from my friends and starting a new life in a house that could be haunted? Well, while it might be cool to live in a one-horse town where everyone knows each other, the abandoned manor at the top of a mountain wasn’t as appealing. We drove through the town on the way to the road where the asphalt met the gravel as the path took us higher into the mountains. As we drew closer to the house, the road became covered in fog which made the driving for dad more difficult.
