The smell of dew mixed with a grassy smell came upon my face. I can hear the big winds rushing in like a big balloon just popped  , the water hitting the shore like stones hitting a brick wall, and the grass clashing together over and over again. Now knowing a big storm closing closer ready to devour the land. The only time now is to run.]]> 2016-11-08 16:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136150079 https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136150101 I was half was done with the race when my heart started to pound.

The air smells like cotton candy as the wind blows from one direction to the other. I can feel tiny drops of water hitting my skin like needles. The wind rips through my hair as the storm devours me too. ]]> 2016-11-08 16:38:54 UTC https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136150153 https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136150306 I walk along the trail as the birds stop making noise, and the world gets silent. I can feel the wind pick up and see the clouds rolling over the horizon. Smelling the rain I walk a little faster, trying to escape the oncoming storm. I start to see the water ripple and I feel light caresses on my body as it starts to sprinkle. It gets colder as the storm rolls in. I take another glimpse at the sky, seeing it darken before me. I could see my house in the distance, "Just a few more steps," I think to myself. I start to run as the rain beats harder on my back and face, soaking me to the core in freezing drops. I run up my driveway to my front door. I step in closing the door hard behind me. I was soaked an decided to go upstairs and take a nice relaxing bath. "What a day," I say aloud, "what a day."]]> 2016-11-08 16:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136150306 https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136150387 Standing on the little island of mine wiping back the tears that stung my eyes. Was I really the only one left? How long would it be before I was rescued? Soon my despair turned into dread. My family, my friends, all were lost in the flood. I ached for my mothers embrace. For my fathers kind words. There was no one here so I sobbed. After what seemed like hours. I laid down my head pounding and my eyes red and puffy. I wrapped my wet clothes around me. The cold wind was whipping me. I closed my eyes for the last time.

The water sang soulfully through the dull colors. The clouds rumbled and clashed with one another, an unending argument. The sun wished to brighten up the land, but could only illuminate the tops of the clouds that roared beneath it. ]]> 2016-11-08 16:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136150476 https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136150881 2016-11-08 16:40:39 UTC https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136150881 https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136151332 I lean down and I pedal faster as the large crowd cheers me on.

I was getting worn out but the loud cheers from the small crowd pushed me to go on. I rushed by figures eager to get the race done, so with my tense muscles I pedaled faster and faster with the wind beating harder at my body. My breath was not going through my body properly anymore making me light headed. Just as I thought I couldn't handle it anymore, and was about to give up I heard the crowd scream with joy. I pull my heavy head up to see that I was at the finish line. I got off my bike and immediately hit the ground, my body going limp. Out of the corner of my eye I could see someone coming up to me, I could vaguely hear them say, "Congratulations! You got first place!" I was so exhausted but I got up even though the pain was almost unbearable. I looked at the crowd as more people came across the finish line. My eyes found my teary wife who blew me a kiss, i fell back onto the ground glad that the race was over. ]]> 2016-11-08 21:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136251413 https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136268153 I hear the cheers of the fans.

All of a sudden I heard a big bang like some thing had fallen, but I knew it was only thunder. The people outside sprinted for coverage as several umbrellas were sprung open. Water started to pound upon the pot holes on the streets. The cars were crying of joy as they were being washed up. ]]> 2016-11-09 00:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136271040 https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136272685     The entire room was silent as we all watched the projected screen on the wall. The show played quietly, but I could barely hear the insignificant words that the newscaster was speaking right now. Tension was so thick you could feel it gathering in your body, as everyone’s breath slowly, or quickly, pushed in and out of my coworkers’ bodies. I suddenly realized that my hands were clenched tightly at my sides and my heart was pounding. Suddenly, the words on the News report suddenly became clear as they glided into my head, “And the new President of 2016 is…” When they announced the name of whom I had voted for, all the tension ripped out of my body. My whole office had all voted for the same person, and they had enough our candidate. I was the first to cheer in the silent room, screaming an excited “Woo-hoo!” Everyone laughed and began to cheer as well, the atmosphere suddenly radically different. We all grinned like idiots and the room became loud and boisterous, so much so that you couldn’t think at all. We all just cheered and laughed and danced around with each other, the room warm and light suddenly brighter. I could feel the joy in the air, just as thick as the tension had been around all of us moments ago. I ran around the room, hollering and laughing. I even jumped up on a table and began to sing. Maybe we were a little crazy, sure, but we were all ecstatic. That was one of my favorite days at work. ]]> 2016-11-09 00:32:55 UTC https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136272685 https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136276819      The sound of thunder echoed throughout the field. The lightning striking a near by tree, but not letting it set ablaze. The dark shapes that formed what used to be figures you would find around your house, changed from cheerful to dark and dangerous. The clap of thunder slowly grew louder, disrupting the animals that were grazing around it. 
     As the clouds grew closer, the animals began to run, run away fast. They had not predicted the weather to become this troublesome. At first all the animals could smell was fresh dew on a summer morning, but now it grew to become something they feared.
    The approaching clouds seemed to grow bigger, not in just shape, but in sound. The animals felt fear, the trees swayed. Oh how the trees swayed. They swayed so harshly that limbs of the living trees fell of, leaving a broken life. 
     The animals broke into a plain sprint as the wind grabbed at them, seizing them in their tracks. The babies of the animal mother's were killed, squished with limbs of the broken trees.
     The thunder clapped louder, harsher, the lightning struck a dead tree, setting it ablaze. The fire grew large, burning the surround thicket. The sounds of screaming animals echoed through the field, burning alive, dying, being covered in ash and suffocating to death.
 The fire and storm grew larger and as soon as it came, it stayed. The returning animals would find what they thought was their home ruined, dead corpses of their kind left everywhere. 
The storm would never end, never stop, continuously leaving death and destruction in it's pathway. Everyone will remember this storm, and will never forget what had happened on the uneventful day.]]> 2016-11-09 01:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136276819 https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136280690 As the crowd cheers and hollers I peddle faster think of the positive I think of the end and I push on until I reach the end.]]> 2016-11-09 01:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136280690 https://padlet.com/loris2/q8kas1qg65gj/wish/136300153 I can hear the bone shaking bang of the thunder and the rattling of the lightning.

My legs on fire my throat as dry as a desert. The sun at its highest point. I was pretty sure I couldn't finish. but then I heard the roar of the crowd. And it gave me just a boost of adrenaline. So much that I passed two people close to the finish line. It was at this moment I realized that all of my training had payed off. All of the hours I spent on my bike has finally payed off!

The air was muggy and you could here the wind slipping threw the leaves in the trees. The waves on the lake were growing bigger giving white caps. The rain started to pour now. Cold drops like the water that drips off my lemonade glass.

My heart was pounding with the same amount of excitement as the crowd. I brought my eyes back to the finish line. My brain was running as fast as it could, my legs felt as if they were going to snap at any moment, they ached, but somehow I was still pedaling.
