Miss My Grandfather Grandfather Smile Picture
565 wordsNew York was washing by the tropical storm last Friday; it seemed to clean out each inch of dirt at every corner of the city. The chilly wind was blowing outside; I could see the trees dancing in front of my window. I was at home. I should thank the storm for a day-off so I could do some housework. I found a photograph album under my bed, when I was cleaning the house. It was a pretty old one. I opened it; laugh was all I could do at that moment. That was because I saw a picture of mine, which w...

Open My Eyes Order To Bring
1,416 wordsFrom the looks of the moon I could judge it was past midnight. The sky was very dark and the weather was very windy.

Upon reaching the center of the wooded region, I spotted something on the ground. I maneuvered the horse to stop in an attempt to see what it was. Lying on the ea...

World War Ii Suffering And Death
