There was an old mailbox shoved into a tree next to the park on Kateral Road. It was white and rusting. Three initials were carved into the side, F, D, & G. It used to belong to three close friends. They spent every day by that old tree, talking about everything you could even think to talk about. No one has seen them together in years though. The old mailbox was left untouched and alone until someone walked up to it. They stared at it for a while, trying to decide how foolish they were being. Finally, the person opened it and set a letter down. When the lid was closed again, he lifted the flag to signal his letter. Turning away without any hope to go back.

Mount Haven
Prologue: The Letter That day went like any other. I parked my mom's old Ford Escape in the driveway. I had just gotten off work, and it was my last day. Before I walked into the house, I grabbed the mail. A cool breeze whipped past me. I began to look through the mail, like routine and headed inside. There was a cream-colored envelope with big blocky letters saying "Arielle Lancaster." Which would be acceptable only if it wasn't from a place I've never heard of before. "Mount Haven"... might be a scam. Right? The lettering looks like something from the government. Curiosity washed over me, and I opened it. I walked inside to see my parents were gone. I shrugged it off and headed to my room. My eyes began to skim the letter. "To the next of kin of Leah Fletcher," The letter began. Who is that? My eyes jumped to the next thing to catch my eye. "You now fully own 1582 Everest Drive, Mount Haven, Maine. You will need to come and take care of this property." My eyes then jumped to the bottom of the letter. "If you have any questions, please contact me at 723-356-7891." I grabbed my phone. My body began to shake. "Hello?"I asked.Complete
My Past or Present!
A Past and Present definitely involve the people in it, but they both have more than that to offer. The situations, the choices made for you and the choices made by you in the past were and the choices would be made for you and by you in the present are as important as the people. Is it possible to fight everything in the past and engulf the present? Or will the external factors will delay the desired result of such fight even after going through the fight? The story of another confused person who is self misjudged and misjudged by others in a whole level or maybe only partly. Let us see whether the light can reach the person's heart while giving it to the other due to just a coincidence like the person thinks. --------------- note: need to read Past or Present to under stand this better...Complete

Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition-season of love?
As our red SUV pulled into our gray driveway, I saw the mailman drive away. My mom parked the car and I hopped out, my feet making a soft 'thud' as they hit the ground and grabbed my dance bag from the trunk. "Honey go get the mail." My mom told me. I nodded and headed down our cemented driveway. I opened the mailbox door and heard the familiar squeak. I grabbed the mail and closed the door. As I headed up the driveway I shuffled through the mail. Mom, dad, mom, dad, dad, and me? I never get mail. I carefully opened the Manila envelope and scanned over the letter. I squealed and ran inside.Complete
