10. Friendship: Write about being friends with someone.

I'm not as close to her as I would like to be. She is that kind of a friend who you really like, but don't exactly know what their favourite dish would be. It's quite akin to- for the sake of it- a Schrodinger friendship; like, you are both friends and not friends with the same person until you have a real heart-to-heart with them!

Now this girl, she is bubbly, optimistic and a die-hard foodie. I mean, what else do you even need for perfection! Knowing her has always been a pleasure (with that obvious tinge of jealousy, I mean, why should my childhood best friends get to be best-friends with her when I don't even get to talk for a full minute?!) but I often wonder if that would indeed continue being so good if I were to be cooped up inside the same classroom for the entirety of my final school year!

Altogether, she is a really nice person from what I've seen of her, and is very straightforward (a quality I need to make huge improvements in duh!), and inherentlyy kind (another rare quality). Given an opportunity I would love to get to know this girl better!

11. Dragon: Envision a dragon. Do you battle him? Or is the dragon friendly? Use descriptive language.

I walked in through the magical door that led me out to vast stretch of what looked like huge dunes of salt. The palette above was equally dusty and powder clouds scurried across the wall that was the sky.

It was only a couple of minutes into the new layer of this amazing new game that my aunt got me for Christmas. It was pretty engaging and more so because of the fact I was not too much into such adventure games.

This new level was all about fighting an unknown creature, vile and vicious.

I grasped my virtual sword and rotated the screen to have a better view of the terrain. For one thing, I couldn't fathom where would a vicious creature even hide. If the land were paper, it was totally blank; and a little grainy maybe. All of a sudden, dust whirled up in front of me. The visibility whirred down the meter, and the temperature soared up. Just behind the tallest peak of salt, I saw the trailer of the movie and no it wasn't moving slow-mo.

Its enormous wings were milk white- so fair that the beast nearly camouflaged with the background. I gripped the sword harder and pulled on my latest steel armour, though I gravely doubted its utility against the smooth leathery stretch that was the skin of this dragon. It blew fire at intervals, and flied around me. Totally unrelated to my position in the game, the dragon was really cute! The way it kept stretching its neck between the fire-bursts and how it looked kinda choked after every attempt at scaring me away.

Not having the heart to fight it, I tried scaring it off by waving my sword at it, but hey, that just came across to it as an invitation to battle! It swooped down in a line, and I barely had the time to dodge it's sharp claws and it took off fom the dive and turned again. It's claws were golden and that was all I had managed to notice as it tried to kill me online!

Then I decided finally that it was a virtual thing after all and I wasn't really hurting it if I stuck my titanium sword through it's stomach. But still, it was just too cute to hurt (and a little furry when you got too close) and WHAM! It just burned me down.

Yeah sure, I brought it upon myself.

12. Greeting: Write a story or poem that starts with the word "hello.

Hello to the souls out there,

I'm here to impress.

Not my point, but the spirit.

Less words and happiness.

13. The Letter Poem: Write a poem using words from a famous letter or a letter from your own collection.

(Samuel Langhorne Clemens) to future wife Olivia Langdon

Out of the depths of my happy heart wells a great tide of love and prayer for this priceless treasure that is confined to my life-long keeping.

You cannot see its intangible waves as they flow towards you, darling, but in these lines you will hear, as it were, the distant beating of the surf.

How do You Love?

How do you see love, does it bloom?

Does it surge or does it soar away?

Is it like ice-cream or a warm sun's ray?

Is it the love that blurs out that room?

Or the one where you know what is up,

And how the creases in their forehead knot,

And un-knot with one good moonsie trot?

Maybe, the one with no backup?

That is the saddest version, I know but

Still the happiest that will be.

There's only that bar of just a cut

phone-call; just that much to you from thee.

One word to go from a mansion to a hut!

Make misery? Or make it a 'we'?
