Flash... Boom
Flash… Boom!“That’s about 3 miles away!” Cried Jess.“It’s getting closer. Hurry up so we can pack up and move out.” Quincy told her as he ran to load up the remaining supplies into the vehicles. “How do you know its 3 miles?” Asked Bo. Jess grabbed a small backpack and threw it at Bo, “It’s five seconds for every mile in between the lightning and the thunder, remember?” “Oh yeah! Sorry I forgot.”“It’s okay. The storm only comes around once a year but by the end of the storm, in about a month, you’ll be that much better at knowing how to track it.” Emil started up the diesel truck and honked th...

I saw myself exhausted with all the sword-fighting practice. My dark circles around my almond-shaped eyes showed my lack of sleep. How could someone sleep peacefully knowing that I would never be the main character? I was always the sidekick for someone who was seen as a saviour, ruler and conquerer. Her name was Felina.
