The archaic American language of the Powhatan people is vanishing, this is a short story on what the language is, who spoke it, where it's from, and why it's disappearing from the world. There aren't very many educational stories, so I thought I should give it a shot.

Footprints
You don't really discover things until you travel. You meet new people, learn new things, experience more opportunities. It's like putting yourself in another person's shoes. Traveling opens yourself up to the world. You realize that there is so much out there, so much you want to discover and so much that you will never know. Follow your heart and do what your gut tells you because what is meant to be will end up happening. Don't doubt it. This is just a story of me and my adventures in Germany as an exchange student this current year. It may be a boring story for some people, or exciting for others. Maybe you will find it interesting. But before you start reading it, or go search for another book, remember what I said before. And most importantly never, ever give up.Complete

Utopia
Sometimes things don't come in big bangs and loud bursts. Sometimes things tiptoe by and you don't know they're happening until they've happened. She's started this story a hundred times in a hundred ways--it never seemed right. The truth is this: a woman, a girl, went to sleep and woke up somewhere else. And it broke her. Before, she was eighteen, she would not finish high school, and she had never been in love. After, she would be eighteen and a hundred years older, she still would not finish high school, and she would never not be in love again.Complete
The First
I was the first. I arrived in the Glade, and there was nothing and... no one. I remembered nothing about who I was, who my parents were, what happened. A few days I remembered my name, and that's it. That's all that ever came back. There were four walls surrounding me with only one exit. I wanted to go through, so I did, in hopes of finding my way out. What I found lurking on the other side was not an exit but something much worse. I found my way back, and I spent the next month fending for myself. Food, water, a temporary shelter. After a month, someone else arrived, and this person arrived with supplies. Every month a new person was sent up. Every arrival was the same as mine. They couldn't remember anything. I was the first one here, and that means that I call the shots, I make the rules, and I run the place.Complete
