Morning Routine

The alarm has been on for a couple of minutes and no one wants to get up and turni it off. I guess I have no choice but to get up and turn it off and wake up the kids. Finallly my daughter gets up and goes to the washroom. She spends so long in there; she forgets that other people need to use the washroom. I have to get her uniform and make breakfast for the kids. Finally she comes out of the washroom. She goes on her computer and starts listening to songs and tries to finish her homework. She doesn't do it when she has time but leaves it till the last minute and then starts panicking. I have to tell her a hundred times to eat her breakfast or else you will have a stomach ace. Sometimes she listens but only after I've told her fifty times. I always have to remind her to leave or else you are going to be late. Today again she left the house late.

For Love

    In ancient Greece the king of Sparta had a very handsome son named Jason. He was well educated, kind, generous, and the best fighter in all of Sparta. He fell in love with his servant Jasmine who was the daughter of a poor farmer. Jason's father was against their love so Jason threatened to leave home if he couldn't marry her. His father finally agreed since he loved his son a lot but before they could get married Jason had to complete a task that no other man was capable of achieving. He had to go the desert and get a diamond that fell from a fairy in heaven. The diamond was inside a mountain that was surrounded by hundreds of other mountains located in the middle of the desert. Before Jason left he bought two necklaces, they were both hearts cut in half. Jason told her they will become one when he comes back.

Jason set out to the deserts taking some food and water with him. He took his favourite horse and a camel and set out for his long journey. He wandered and wandered, got lost a couple of times. One day he found a stream and decided to drink the fresh water. As he was busy drinking and washing his face a huge snake slithered towards his horse. the camel and horse both got scared and ran off. Jason unsheathed his sword and killed the snake, he looked around and realized he was alone. He started looking around at the huge mountains. After what seemed like a decade he decided to pray out loud.

With all his strength he called out to Apollo in a loud voice asking for guidance. Since Jason was a man with a pure heart Apollo decided to help him. Apollo came down in a golden chariot led by white horses. Apollo told to walk straight without looking back or to the sides. Straight ahead you will see an arrow which only you can see and follow that path. Jason did as he was told with ease. In the huge mountain there was a cave covered a thin branch. When he walked inside the cave he saw the most beautiful diamond radiating white light. The diamond was the size of his fist, he picked it up and walked out. Apollo was there again and offered him a ride home.

Jason was welcomed home with a huge feast by his father and Jason presented the diamond to him. His father told him to turn around and he saw Jasmine as beautiful as when he first saw her. Jason and Jasmine both took out the necklace and put it together. That same day they both were wed and lived in their own palace that was a gift from his father.

In the Woods

"The cold was so intense that the ground beneath her feet slowly started to split open. Jennifer was terrified and started running towards home. She knew she should have listened to her mom instead of going into the woods. As she was running she slipped and fell. She hit her nose very hard on the snow covered ground and started bleeding. Jennifer took out her handkerchief  felt lonely, scared and very cold. From where the ground had split open came a bright white colour. Then it turned to black, red, green and many other colours that were all mixed together. There came a loud howl and out came something that Jennifer couldn't get her eyes off. It looked so disgusting, so inhuman, nothing like the monsters she read about. Instead of eyes it black sockets that covered his, probably over a hundred, faces like polka dots. The monsters faces were covered in hair and slime. Instead of hair there was thousands of ants crawling on top of his head. Instead of arms there hundreds of a=snakes dangling. No body but a fat piece of flesh that smelled of rotten cheese. Where the feet should have been there what seemed like hundreds of scorpions attached. It tilted his head looking at Jennifer and slowly started coming towards her..."
