The smell of smoke filled anyone sensors, ash covered anyone faces. I wiggled myself underneath the ruddled remains of a tank that was left behind. People yelled in victory or in pain, but all I saw was what those yells caused.Friends, crewmates, family, either stood, limped or laid face down in the muddy wasteland. I couldn't take it, I had to stop all of it. One life to save a ton, would be worth it. Maybe they will write stories about me, maybe they won't ever know who stop the fight. Either way it would stop. The tank had some gas leaking, if I just set the gernadae here, the tank would also expole making everyone run. Ending these never end push and pull. I waged the gernadae in to the bottom of the tank, pulling the pin. 3.... I closed my eyes covering my head. 2..... asking for god to let me in though those gates. 1.... hope that there is something on the other side of life. ]]> 2021-02-01 17:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150100665 kj3747 https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150101666 In a standoffish sense, he awaited the arrival of a long overdue visitor. The blurring  sense of time, and the swirling sense of the colors around him brought attention to his distraught demeanor.  He felt only fear envelop his soul.

There he was, the tall, somber male with misted eyes. He felt the anxiety amplify, knowing that this would be their final goodbye. Seeing the lanky man stand nearly three feet from him set into motion the tears falling down his own face. In the end, he knew he couldn't hold onto a sick man forever. ]]> 2021-02-01 17:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150101666 https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150101750 2021-02-01 17:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150101750 jd3485 https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150102606 There I was. In that small pink house on the corner of the busy residential street. In that house, it  smelled of stale cookies and dust. Crammed for space we would sit in the basement laughing to the point of tears playing that dumb game. Brings a frown to my face.

Now, in the middle of the corn and wheat fields in the middle of nowhere where the smell of manure from the livestock roams around. I stay in that farm house all cozy. With mama whippin up that delicious soup in the kitchen. I sit in my room, content with life ]]> 2021-02-01 17:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150102606 pa3035 https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150102959 2021-02-01 17:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150102959 sp3292 https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150103466 One tired student doesn't want to be here and just wants to lay in a nice warm soft bed, instead of being in a classroom learning about creativity.  Then all of a sudden that student wants to learn even though he has no energy left in his tank.

I mean I always knew this place just never really paid attention to it. Its a place where everything is dark. the sky the trees the grass. It was as dark as the night that came after the day in the dessert. This place is cold and the people there are as rude as your uncle. They always dress in black with long hair and glasses on but you can never see their face. They always shout insults at me for some reason. Today though was different. It was different because one of them complemented me. Which for some reason mad everything a little brighter and warmer. Then another said I like your shoes and then another said they liked my hoodie. All of a sudden I was surrounded by people who gave me confidence to be who I truly am. IT lighten up that place so now I can see the whole space.]]> 2021-02-01 17:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150104244 jg3487 https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150106754 The stage lit bright a colorful loom, people chanting, I'm the star. the feeling of ecstasy that it brings is overwhelmingly swell, the people dance, the music chants.

Once I get all set up to throw the shot to determine how I start off this first game. Take another deep breathe and look at my target one more time. I stand on the approach and just look dead eye at my target. Then take one step at a time and then start to take those steps faster step I go. Once I get to that last step, I release the ball and then act like my vision I had in my head and look at my ball go down the lane and eventually see it hook towards the pins to get all ten of them down. ]]> 2021-02-01 17:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150107165 wk3068 https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150108138 He walks across the silent tracks, his footsteps the only sound to be heard. He does not know where he is going. His big yet, fragile, hand reaches for the rusted cold railing. His crooked smile that is too big for his face, appears brightly through the charcoal black sky. His burly laugh goes through the crisp, icy air, as if he said a joke to himself. The trees are rapidly moving as the wind picks up. He looks around and finally stares up at the blinding, moon and all of the stars dancing around it. His mind is clear, his eyes shut for a moment as he drags out a long breath. The stench of alcohol fills his nose as he looks over the railing. City lights beam at him from such a far distance, they look like fireflies.

 Smiling he steps up onto the cold rail. The wind starts attacking his hair, running off with his tattered beanie. His crooked smile appears towards the speckled sky one last time. Then he takes a deep breath and falls towards the snow covered ground. The trees go silent, the wind no longer moves, and a thud was the last noise made that night.]]> 2021-02-01 17:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150108138 aw3678 https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150109633 A tall, well dressed, young teen boy walks into the sore. Walking swiftly, he grabs milk, bread, baby food, and baby formula. He also grabs a candy bar and soda, and places it in the counter joyfully. He smiles brightly at the clerk. When the clerk tells him his total, the boys face drops and all his happiness leaves him. He kindly asks the clerk to remove the candy bar, as well as the soda. He pulls out his WIC card and swipes it, and is relieved when he realizes he has enough. Though, he's still disappointed when he comes home to his young wife, and is forced to tell her that he didn't have enough. He holds his wife, and reassures her that 16 isn't too young for a baby]]> 2021-02-01 17:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150109633 ma3871 https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150109943 the past tow day the man had been struggling to sleep and this night wasn't different. with the doors shutting and opening he didn't know what to do, then a ghost of someone that had hurt him came to him. ruining form the ghost the hallways were getting longer and longer the father he ran.

Hes unaware of how or why hes in the emerald forest. He stands and feels his shoes sink into the mud like quick sand he lifts his foot only to be weighted down my the think sludge. He continues his walk through the forest trying to remember anything. He cant remember a thing, his name, his background, He doesn't know who he is. He feels empty like someone took a chunk out of him he feels lost and not just in the large forest but in his mind. He starts to run, not knowing where hes going he feels like he needs to. He starts to sweat but a cold sweat, the fog that blankets the forest floor begins to thicken and the boy starts to pick up his pace. He keeps running till his lungs are screaming. He runs like something is trying to catch him. He takes one large step and falls into the mud. Everything goes black. He shoots up in his bedroom in a cold sweat and he realizes it was all a dream. ]]> 2021-02-01 17:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150110079 https://padlet.com/baileyfranzen/5hnbfckyrr3v22z0/wish/1150112014 I like you, Dan, I really do.
