I thought he told me the flight was at 11 am., why are we getting ready at five o’ clock? I took a quick shower and dressed for the Spring weather outside, carrying an extra coat for the blistering cold of Russia.

I was beginning to wonder how I would make it through my first day of practice for the war against our rivals, the Wessex warriors, but then I realized that I would have people who have been through it before to help me. I looked at the sun dial to see what time it was and I realized I was about to be late for the first day of practice. As I rushed to get my shield, which

It started when I was 12. When the clock changed from 1999 to 2000, numbers appeared over everyone’s heads. I didn’t bother to tell anyone about it because I’d seen enough movies to know no one would believe me. I couldn’t ever see my own number, not in photographs or mirrors. My mother was a three and my father was a two. It took me three years to figure out what the numbers meant. When I saw the news on 9/11, it all clicked. Osama bin Laden had a seven over his head.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Imagine waking up early one day to your alarm clock screeching like a banshee. You climb out of bed and immediately fall onto the ground, exhausted from school the day before. The coaches made you run three whole miles! I know, I can’t believe it either! You pick your lifeless body up off of the ground and stumble to the bathroom.
