I was diving alone in about 40 feet of water when I got a terrible stomachache. I was sinking and it was hard to move. Also I found that the air in the tank was running out. I could not remove my weight belt. Suddenly I felt a prodding. Something lifted my arm. And an eye appeared. The eye seemed to be smiling. It was the eye of a big dolphin. When I looked into that eye, I knew I was safe. I felt

that the animal was lifting me toward the surface to save me.

It was my first day of school at St. Roma High School. The uniforms were fancier than in middle school. As a St. Roma student, I had to wear a green sweater with the school label on the shoulder. And I had to choose between a khaki skirt or khaki pants. Also, I had to wear a white blouse and a green St. Roma tie. "There's my St. Roma student, said Mom. You're ready for your first day?" she asked. "Yes!" I told her. While she drove me to school, I pictured myself as a high school student. Maybe I'll have new friends. Maybe I'll be the best in the class. I could not wait to start my first day at a new school.

Erda lay on her back in a green field, as she watched sunlight shine through the leaves above her. Like the leaves above her, she moved with the mild breeze. She also felt the warm sun feed her. A slight smile was spreading over her face. She slowly turned her body over. Then she pushed her face into the grass and smelled the scent of the fresh flowers. Erda stood up and started to walk between the warm trunks of the trees. She felt all her concerns had gone away.

The Chief called for Little Fawn to come out, and took her right hand and Sam’s right hand and tied them together with a small piece of leather. He told Sam very loudly, “You’re now a married man.” As soon as the wedding ceremony was over, the celebration began. Fawn and Sam sat on blankets as young boys and girls began dancing to flute music and drum beats. They danced in circles while they're making joyful sounds and shaking their hands with arms raised over their heads. Fawn rose up and joined them. People started clapping and singing. Fawn and Sam were two happy people.

I board the plane, take off and climb out into the night sky. Within minutes, the plane shakes hard, and I freeze, feeling like I can't control anything. The left engine  starts losing power and the right engine is almost dead now. Rain hits the front window and I’m getting into heavier weather. I’m having trouble keeping up the airspeed. When I report an  emergency to the center, I bump some levers by accident. The left engine suddenly regains power. So, I push the levers to full. Both engines come back on and come to full power. After the worst is over, I find

my whole body loosening up.
