High Street If a person happened to be looking both ways, rather than just one way, as they made their way home, they would have seen someone. In other words, if they weren't too wrapped up in their own self, they would have seen a girl. Depending on who this person happened to be, they may or may not have known her name was Sam.

The Beatles: Talent and Courage

Post Published June 7, 2021 by Kathleen Werth

The Beatles showed mental, intellectual, and social courage as they created a new genre of music, brought it to places that didn’t believe in it, and performed it without fear whilst being the most popular band in the world, and in history. There were a lot of things that influenced their huge worldwide breakthrough. But it started when they formed in 1960.

I clutched a soft avocado in my hand and squished it slightly. It had just the right firmness and it would be fantastic in guacamole. I heard a sharp yelp, so I spun around to see a toddler with a desperate scream. I covered my ears before dropping the avocado into my shopping cart. Then, I pushed my items away from the toddler and found myself in the kids’ section.

I remember the days when dragons and phoenixes swarmedthe sky. I remember the days when giants shook the ground. I remember the days when mermaids splashed in theirponds. I remember the days when ghouls and ghosts hauntedthe night. I remember the days when I fell asleep listening togoblins and imps crackling. I remember waking up to find it was all a dream.

Sacrifice of the Sea

Post Age 11 Published June 5, 2021 by Lina Kim

Swimming seals sing songs of sacrifice, sending a seahorse to the sea floor. Tiny turtles turn and circle the swimming seahorse. Corals coo the carols of calmness, letting the little seahorse softly fall asleep. The shark swims by, stealing shells from the sea floor, and swims past the sleeping seahorse. The shark sweeps up the seahorse, swooping away to snack on the sleeping seahorse.

Artist's description of the piece (translated from Arabic): There is something hiding behind the painting. There is a ghost behind it. It is the ghost of someone. (Who?) (No answer to that.)
