Jimmy looked out into the the horizon, the remaining azure of the day leaving.. The beautiful view seemed to decelerate time itself. Suddenly, a pang of sadness hit Jimmy and he remembered his sister was still missing. No crucial evidence had been found that led towards his sister. No one had seen who had done the crime, but how on earth could she disappear. Jimmy stood, as the last of the sun’s warm light disappeared, and saw a man with a young girl walking hand in hand. The little girl giggled, and Jimmy, being a fastidious person, realized who it was.

Daniel struggled as the ladybugs surrounded him, but kept an irreplaceable smile on his yellow face. Life as a Lego mini-figure was despondent, but there were times where you could be attacked by interminable forces of plastic eating ladybugs. These encounters were not affable, they could last countless hours, like the swarm surrounding Daniel right now. Daniel was trying his best not to be taken apart by these evil creations that were formed by the Creator. As a result, Daniel took out his camera, and knowing he was about to die took a picture of the beautiful landscape facing him.

 

It was a chilly day on February 9th, 2018. Past 7th and 8th graders were loading into a yellow school bus. At approximately 7:30 that morning they departed Beta Academy, the scholars laughing and having a good time. An hour later, the school bus driver pulled over at Buc-ee’s. The scholars got off with large amounts of money to buy snacks. The outcome was scholars coming out with bags full of snacks to munch on during the trip. Later, the school bus departed from Buc-ee’s and headed for their original destination: the Alamo. The kids present there explored different parts of the largely know historical mission. They stuck with their guides and groups most of the time, listening to an audio book describing different historical locations in the Alamo.  Hours later, they left the Alamo and drove towards their other destination, the San Jose mission. There, the scholars ran, played, and tried to be silent while passing the church located inside the mission. The kids were then hungry and asked to leave and get their food. As a result, they left the San Jose mission for Chick-fil-A. Afterwards, they left for their school, and to be reunited with family once again. One scholar in particular by the name of Lilly Cruz states, “The Alamo trip was fun because I got to spend time with my friends, and travel to another city in Texas.” In the end, all the scholars were glad to go home after a long and exciting Alamo trip.

 

The song i have chosen to use to represent myself is “Hey Look Ma, I made It” by Panic! at the Disco. I have chosen this song, because I like the meaning of this song it has behind it.The meaning of this song in my opinion is to enjoy life with little to no regrets.

One line that particularly stood out to me is “If it’s a dream, don’t wake me.” I like the line in this song, because most events like they’re part of a dream that’s too good to be true . However, we soon learn that it is true and and learn how to appreciate moments like these. This line also stood out to me, because life can hold unexpected moments that you want to last forever. Then, it shows tat you want this “dream” to be forever locked in your mind.

Another line that stands out to me is “If you never know who you could trust, then trust me you’ll be lonely.” I chose this line, because it shows how you need to trust in others in orders to live your life properly. You need to trust in other people, because others might not trust you with much confidence. This means that in order for other people to trust you, you have to equally trust them first. Trusting in other people can also show how much you care about a specific person. This can also help you to know how imprtant it is to trust in order to live a long and happy life.

The last line that stood out to me is the title of the song: “Hey Look Ma, I Made It.” I like this line, because it goes to show how much of a mark your mother can leave in your life . Daughters and sons can always remember their mother’s love, because of the huge part they play in their lives. Although the father plays a great role in a family’s life, they are mostly away from home, working. This provides the family with money to buy essentials such as food and water. However,  this left the mother to care for her children, and constantly staying in their lives. In this song, it seems that Brendon Urie is showing his mother he’s made “it”. In my words, this means that he’s has made it so far in life and has been largely successful. Which can be visibly seen, because of the largely known band he’s in.

Generally speaking, this song helped me know how successful your life can be at this time. It also shows me that life is short, and should enjoy it while it lasts.

I looked up at him, begging for mercy. I knew I had not done it, which was to kill the girl. But how could I when she was so beautiful? He looked down at me and gave me a piece of rope. “Use this rope to hang yourself.” he said. I took it most unwillingly, wanting to die here at the feet of my Lord than alone. I raised the rope upward with two hands, then saw that most of the rope had gone missing. The floor had disappeared, and everything was turning dark, my hands clinging the rope, my Life.

I wondered when it was all going to end. The useless need for battle and pain. Its been almost a year since the Beginning. The Orion Psi had started to reign by manipulating people by telling lies. Lies that made the New Republic seem like an evil organization. The Orion Psi, ruled by a mysterious wielder of the Force, had then started its rule in the Outer Rim. I stood looking at the raging battle outside the star cruiser. My anti-space flight suit locked in. Just in case. I turned left, and saw people running in panic. The alarm suddenly wailed, which could mean one thing: The Orion Psi had boarded the ship. I stood frozen, just as several stormtoopers filled the room. A sudden panic suddenly filled me, enabling me to move. I watched and they targeted me, knowing I was going to die. Suddenly, an explosion filled the room, getting us exposed to the dark vacumm of space. Everything blacked out, and I felt myself slowly dying.

I looked up, a red light filling the sky. People running a children screaming. A laser ray going to the core of the planet. Suddenly, a humongous explosion fills half of the land. The horizon rising like an endless tsunami.

I woke up screaming and hollering for help. The same dream haunting me since the Battle of Jakku. The Star Wars era has ended, and now there is peace and prosperity around the galaxy. Well, most of it. A new sinister force is rising in the edge of the galaxy. Waking up in the ashes of the Empire and the First Order. And its up to us to stop it. Who are we? We are Last Hope, and its up to us to stop the evil Orion Psi from conquering the galaxy.

 

*Comment if you want me to actually make a story.

Trapped here forever. Monsters to the human race. The Curse, making us invisible to the world. But the time has now come. Move my brothers! Move with all your might! Destroy the barrier that seperates us from the world! With that the Agrilux demons’s statue cracked. Then with another punch, the concrete shattered. They took two steps forward, the horrifying demons. They were nameless, and with faces that could immediately kill you. But one hope remained, Daniel Benavidez perched in a tall building looked to the demons. And with one quick flash, he leapt down and ripped them to shreds.

The alarm’s scream filled the room. Which could only mean one thing: The Empire was here. I suited up to board my X-Wing. As explosions filled the sky, Super Star Destroyers jumped out of hyperspace. I prepared my X-Wing for deployment. With a loud “WOOSH” my X-Wing soared into battle. TIE fighters filled the skies, defending the much larger portion of the Imperial Starfleet. My partner screamed with excitement, leading both of us into battle. “Get ready for real battle, Vicky!” he screamed. “Don’t get too excited, Jek.” I responded. Suddenly, static filled the inside inside my helmet, which made me jump. I looked to my right and saw nothing where Jek was supposed to be. I sighed and continued forward, the TIE fighters destroying each member of the Chalupa Squadron. The other X-Wings suddenly disappeared from sight, once they were blasted by the TIE fighters. Pretty soon, there would be no one left from Chalupa Squadron. “Not today“, I said to myself as I flew straight toward the last three TIE fighters. The first one came straight toward me, but was blasted to smithereens by my Bak KX9 laser cannons. The last two emerged from behind a Star Destroyer. They shot green laser blasts, but missed all three times. I waited until they were in range, and shot the two TIE fighters with my proton torpedos. The command for jump to hyperspace came as the TIE fighters had been shot out of the air. I prepared the X-Wing for hyperspace. Suddenly, the stars were no longer still, instead they became a bright blue tunnel. The coordinates had been set to land on Dantooine. Many questions filled my mind that day. One question resisted on leaving my mind however: How many people had died that day?
