Maria stopped for a moment, thinking.
Finally, she shook her head.
“We have some apples at home....
Wynsel’s heart beats disharmoniously. His mind frantically wanders around uncontrollably, stressed to think with a clear head. He opens the garage door as quietly as possible, but it annoyingly made loud creaking noises.
The moonlight shines, as it is late at night. Wynsel pushes his dad’s car with all his strength, he definitely wasn’t gonna start the engine in the garage, and wake him and his ...

The ecstasy filled lights fla...
Trevor opened the door of the port-a-loo and stoped down into the mud. His walking boots squelched into the thick sloppy mud that covered most of the site. He looked up as the next festival goer rushed past him to get into the toilet he just vacated. They looked a bit green behind the gills, he was glad they hadn’t made it there before him.
He trudged off towards where he’d left his group of fri...
I was about 20 years old when I went to my first Christian Music Festival called Creation ‘87. I came with my sister and brother. It was wholesome (my experience) but I was a bit nervous in the crowd.
