Me!
Mr Brignall was concluding a Religious Education lesson. I was in Year 3 (or second grade in American terms), and the subject of perfection was the key topic. I think Mr Brignall had been relating to the philosophy that nature and Jesus and God do nothing uselessly. Everything happens for a perfected reason, even if it takes centuries to realise it - that idea. Of course, I wasn't really listening to this. I was captivated by the word perfect. I'd also noticed the blank sheet of paper placed before each of us in class and so my imagination was mass-producing possibilities of what I could draw on it. Mr Brignall tasked us with exactly what I had hoped; "Draw your perfect person," he instructed us, all the way from the peak of his spindly 6'4 stature. I knew straight away who my perfect person was;

The pyramids of Egypt
The pyramids of Egypt Egypt are some of the most iconic and awe-inspiring structures in the world. They have stood for thousands of years, a testament to the ingenuity and engineering skill of the ancient Egyptians. History of the Pyramids The first pyramids were built in Egypt during the Old Kingdom period (2686-2181 BC). The earliest known pyramid is the Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, which was built for the third-dynasty king Djoser. The Pyramid of Djoser is a step pyramid, which means that it is made up of a series of stacked layers, or steps. The pyramids of Giza are the most famous pyramids in Egypt. They were built for the fourth-dynasty kings Khufu (Cheops), Khafre (Chephren), and Menkaure (Mycerinus). The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest pyramid in the world. It is 479 feet tall and has a base that covers 13 acres. Construction of the Pyramids The pyramids were built using a variety of methods, including ramps, levers, and inclined planes. The Egyptians used limestone, granite, and sandstone to build the pyramids. The stones were quarried from nearby locations and transported to the pyramid site using sleds and rollers. The pyramids were built by a large workforce of laborers, skilled craftsmen, and engineers. It is estimated that it took 20,000 to 30,000 workers to build the Great Pyramid of Khufu. Purpose of the Pyramids The pyramids were built as tombs for the pharaohs of Egypt. The Egyptians believed that the pharaoh was a god-king who would continue to rule in the afterlife. The pyramids were built to protect the pharaoh's body and to provide him with a place to live in the afterlife. The Pyramids Today The pyramids of Egypt are a popular tourist destination. Millions of people visit the pyramids each year to see these amazing structures. The pyramids are also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Pyramids and the Future The pyramids of Egypt are a testament to the ingenuity and engineering skill of the ancient Egyptians. They have stood for thousands of years and continue to amaze and inspire people from all over the world. The Giza Necropolis The Giza Necropolis is a large area of land on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. It is home to the three most famous pyramids in Egypt: the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. The Giza Necropolis also contains a number of other smaller pyramids, as well as several temples and tombs. The Great Pyramid of Khufu The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest pyramid in the world. It is 479 feet tall and has a base that covers 13 acres. The pyramid is made up of approximately 2.3 million stone blocks, each of which weighs an average of 2.5 tons. It is estimated that it took 20,000 to 30,000 workers to build the Great Pyramid of Khufu. The Pyramid of Khafre The Pyramid of Khafre is the second largest pyramid in Egypt. It is slightly smaller than the Great Pyramid of Khufu, but it is considered to be more aesthetically pleasing. The Pyramid of Khafre is home to the Sphinx, a 24-meter-long limestone statue that guards the entrance to the Giza Necropolis. The Pyramid of Menkaure The Pyramid of Menkaure is the third largest pyramid in Egypt. It is considerably smaller than the Great Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of Khafre.

Deny: A Dream Come True
Deny was a boy who never felt loved by his parents. His father was an alcoholic who often drank and gambled away their money. His mother was a depressed woman who often blamed and abused him for their misery. They never cared for him, nurtured him, or protected him. They never showed him any affection, attention, or appreciation. They never encouraged him, supported him, or praised him. They only criticized him, insulted him, or beat him.

My First PRIDE Parade
(This piece is for the unofficial challenge in Queer Vocal Voices. The prompt is "What Does Pride Mean To You".) I didn’t know what to expect at the first PRIDE parade I went to. The gay community where I live is…challenging for a lack of a better term. (I will save that story for another time.) Being just out of the closet, I had no idea what the point of the parade was. Until I did some research into why we have pride parades. That is when I learned of the Stonewall riots, and the first parade the year following the riots.
