Perilous Pauline
Setting my books on the desk I dropped into a seat. Not in the very back of the room; too obvious. How do those students in the very back not know the back row is generally known to be trying to be invisible which, naturally, accomplishes the reverse? Nope. Two rows up with five more in front of me. Neutral territory. Hopefully it would keep the teacher from paying me much mind. College so far hadn’t been all I had hoped, and this class was just to fill a requirement.

The Sands of Time
The sand dunes tower over each other, making it impossible to see where they may end; each varying in a shade of sand colour, shadows dancing across the horizon. The ball of light in the sky was dropping below the tallest dune, glistening in the distance while the closest hills seemed to get darker before my very eyes. The sheer amount of teeny, tiny grains of sand it must take to fill this desert is completely unfathomable, incomprehensible. I would not like to be somebody who would have to count them all.

TRAIN OF THOUGHT
It was a spring day, and the writer sat on a bench under the station clock. He took a deep breath, revelling in the sensation of rebirth in the warm air. In the distance, far off, below the backdrop of craggy, pine-covered mountains, he could just make out a dot that signified the oncoming train.
