The two halves stretch and form a new wall, just as the skin tightens after a sunburn. The two new spheres pop free to create two cells, a release of pressure and new life. ~Ms. Stalker]]> 2017-01-26 13:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jstalker/cq8m5764x59s/wish/149580283 https://padlet.com/jstalker/cq8m5764x59s/wish/149627811 Mind racing and unable to catch what has already fled. The room feels surreal and the smell so faint and barely noticeable but it is there, nagging. The lilacs and jasmine  pulling your mind in so many different directions as you search. It's so fresh, so tantalizingly fresh that you can't help but chase. Like a newly cut field of flowers, the thick aroma filling the air but the choking gasoline of a lawn mower keeping you at bay. It reminds you that you will never have those flowers again, never have the dreams again. Just the awful reality of smoke and pollution.

Endless, dreadful. Pressure from within, pushing forward, outward. Unstoppable. The feeling of impending explosion from within. Skin cracking, insides ready to burst through. The heat is unbearable, death is upon me. I burst. My insides are on my outside, curling outward. Unfurling like a flower in bloom. Agony.

Patience is demanding you to embrace it tightly, but the speed of your eager heartbeat overrules its' wishes. You dig your sharp fingernails deep into your skin in order to bound your shaky hands from attempting to grasp something that is not yet prepared for your touch. Your soft footsteps hit the solid ground with a quick, sharp impact, and you begin to walk towards your surprise, awaiting you like an eager child waits for their parent to arrive home from work. Your footsteps are slow and controlled, but the pleasure center in your brain is begging, pleading, for you to sprint hard and fast, like never before. The logic center of your brain fortunately yet so unfortunately overrules, and at last, you reach your destination. The heavy wooden door swings open with gust and passion, and you suddenly hear yourself inhale with glee as your surprise stands in front of you, open arms, ready to be welcomed back home.

A bitter, acidic taste rises from the back of my throat, the words I long to say stuck. The words become jumbled and lost on my tongue. The bitter taste transforms into a melancholy memory of an opportunity lost.

New adventures waiting to be discovered. The "pure paradise" car freshener overlaps the leather scent with a fruity, tropical fragrance. The knobs of the radio, never been touched, create an aroma of plastic. A mix of many scents come together to make one smell of excitement.

Flying, time traveling, and maybe laser vision. Mind reading however can be dangerous. Imagine the voices constantly clouding the brain, not even being able to keep your own thoughts straight. The millions of ideas and words racing around the mind attempting to come out and make since. The pounding echo pulses pushing everything around. However slowly the thoughts slow and the sound gets quiet. The pencil hits the paper and all of the thoughts in your brain pour onto the paper like an open wound. This is the sound of writing. ]]> 2017-01-26 15:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jstalker/cq8m5764x59s/wish/149628187 caroline_reece27 https://padlet.com/jstalker/cq8m5764x59s/wish/149628216 I get ready for the first raindrop to hit, like waiting for the sting of someones words to slap you. The power of the storm is not enough to break my strong exterior, but I brace myself for a hard night. As the hard rain pelts me like a bullet, my roots willingly soak up the water that was so needed. Grateful for the hydrating burst of each drop, but scared for the strong winds that blow me in ways I can not control. Throughout the storm I am powerless-- forever at the mercy of mother nature.

Consuming all that it touches. Thoughts run wild trying to fill the void silence brings with it. Silence can be cruel, bringing thoughts up from the dark depths from which they were buried. ]]> 2017-01-26 15:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jstalker/cq8m5764x59s/wish/149628392 https://padlet.com/jstalker/cq8m5764x59s/wish/149628419 A teenagers world full of their wildest dreams. Singing, dancing, and maybe even listening to loud music. The sound of ideas flowing through the brain while doing homework. The silence of the words rushing out of your head flowing onto your paper. Your room is your world. This is the sound of whatever you want it to be because it is a place that is for you. ~Madison Tanner]]> 2017-01-26 15:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jstalker/cq8m5764x59s/wish/149628419 https://padlet.com/jstalker/cq8m5764x59s/wish/149628609 I wouldn't quite describe the smell as pleasant, but to say I wasn't drawn to it would be a lie. It snapped me awake, tearing me from the comparative stupor in which I ambled before into painfully full consciousness. The allure was similar to that one feels watching a musician engrossed in his art, or an athlete expertly carrying out his task: a kind of magnetism that makes you feel small before its greatness while at the same time drawing you towards it as a magnet draws a fleck of iron. And, just as that fleck of iron is held still by the magnet, I was held by the odor, utterly restrained yet totaly without desire to struggle.
