Right Up Your Alley: The Pilgrimage of Roy Cox
A trickle of sweat drips down Roy Cox’s brow as he takes the last long drag of his rolled cigarette. He butts it, like the thousands he had butted before, then points out to the crowd of screaming fans- the same way John Travolta did when he danced in Greece. Roy stopped to stare into Charlie's eyes. It was the stare that one mate does to another when he knows that this could be the most important moment of his life.

Hidden in the Leaves
Sarah sniffled as she walked down the empty sidewalk. It was autumn so there were hundreds of colorful leaves scattered across her path. With each step she took, there was a crunching sound to be heard. Sarah was looking down but she couldn’t bother to pay attention to where she was walking. In fact, she couldn’t see much more than an array of colors through the tears that shielded her eyes. Suddenly, there was a different sound that filled the crisp autumn air. Sarah lifted her gaze slightly. She had kicked something. Her eyes searched around for it, but the sidewalk was so entirely covered with leaves that she could only see orange, yellow, red, and brown caking the surface in front of her. Sarah wiped the tears from her eyes with the sleeve of her sweater. She thought maybe her eyes being glazed over with tears had obscured her vision. But, to her dismay, the sidewalk was really just smothered with warmly colored leaves. She frowned for the umpteenth time that day. Nothing seemed to be going right for her today. First, her professor embarrassed her in front of the entire class for not knowing what the bell curve is. She felt like she was never going to learn anything in that class because the statistics professor expected her to know everything already. Speaking of not learning anything, Sarah could not learn a thing in her French class, which was right after stats, because all she could do was replay the moment the class broke out into snickers. What a horrible sound. Then, in the library, she tripped and spilled her iced coffee onto the pretty girl in the pastel dress and got glared at by the pretty girl in pastel as well as her comparably pretty friends. Now, she was walking home with tears spilling down her cheeks, and not even that could go right. Of course, she had to kick something.

Melbourne Travel Tips
Melbourne is the bar capital of Australia and the centre point of unrecorded music sometimes called the “European Enclave” of the country. Southgate provides the art arcade with a belt of bars and riverside views across the Yarra Stream. With many cultures, drills, displays of craftsmanship, and unrecorded songs, you might go for over seven days here without much of a break and not think twice about it. Like many vast numbers of different travellers, you could wind up and never leave! Melbourne is one of Australia’s favourite towns, and after experiencing it once, several individuals face severe difficulties leaving it. Melbourne praises an arrangement of one-of-a-kind laneways and arcades loaded up inside the outdoor bars, bistros, road craftsmanship, shows, and veiled boutiques, despite the world-class shopping malls, supermarket stores, and memorable tourist locations. Various green parks contribute to the city’s brilliance. Here are the most important Melbourne travel tips you should totally know!

Where
WHERE ____ The walls of the cave were not warm. They were damp, sure. But they were not cold either. The sand that her legs were molded into was moist, saturated in some places, giving way to her weight. The dry pieces sticking to the bare skin of her feet.

Tree Blooms
I could hear the birds outside my window. They were singing without a care in the world. Their song filled my dingy apartment from wall to wall. What I wouldn’t give to be one of the birds sitting on the ledge of my window at 6:30 in the morning at the top of this cement four-story apartment building in the bustling city.

Xin Chào Sài Gòn
The silence between us was heavier than the stale, humid air that hung over the room. A ceiling fan whirred, mosquito-like, in its futile attempts to cool the tropical heat.

Lady Luck
Luck is a funny thing, it's fluid yet forms solidly, it's passive yet it can appear aggressively, it trickles through rock and metal, concrete and cement, leather and paper…

Explore the Beauty of Croatia
Exploring the beauty of Croatia Croatia is one of those countries many travelers don’t put on their bucket list, but it has been high on my list for years. Croatia is located in the Balkans which is in the southeastern part of Europe. The capital of Croatia is Zagreb and the airport there is Franjo Tuđman, which is the country’s largest airport, so this will be how you enter. When you get to Croatia, you will need to find an agency that will provide currency conversion for you. The airport should be able to do this for you. Croatian Kuna is the official currency.
