Gorilla. Stormy gray eyes. Anger. Staring at the far away lights. Wondering. When he will be alone? Far off noises taunting him. Repetition. His life has changed after coming to this new caged world. Waiting. When will he escape? This thought stays only to be torn. The truth comes forward. He is a prisoner. --- Caitlin McNally

          The fire roared, rushing from building to building, devouring everything in its path, destroying and wasting, hot and hungry, quick and powerful, like a starving beast, flames licking towards the sky, as sirens screamed and firemen shot gallons of water, taking away the life of the fire. But they were too late. --- Emelia Hiltner
