Karl English 10H One Day Down‚ One Thousand to Go I gazed up into the bleak morning sky and viewed the wafts of smoke‚ anything to take my mind off what was to come.

A heavy silence follows. My forehead prickles with worry when no little white dog with

It’s early in the morning and my mind and body try to connect to wake up. I move as slow as a turtle‚ maneuvering across my clothes-piled floor. Delicious salami and butter sandwiches are packed‚ Euros are stowed‚ and shoelaces are tied; everything is ready for my Paris adventure to launch. Cramming into my host family’s blue‚ shrimp sized car felt like caged bird. Speeding through the narrow streets made me feel like a bumble bee‚ shifting so quickly and searching for a destination.

As I sit in a dimly lit room of my penthouse I look past the large movie that is projected onto the large windows and out into the night. I see the many apartments and skyscrapers obstructing my view and hiding the stars of the night sky. Rain softly hits the windows and I feel a moment of total utter peace.
