 Mariana Bustillo It was a warm dark night, the chimney was on, adding warmth to the hot weather surrounding the house. This house was meaningful because it’s the house where I spent my childhood Christmases, with my grandparents, mom, dad, aunts and cousins. My six-year-old cousin, was playing “Turkish March” by Morzart in piano, he was a prodigy for it, he was the best pianist of his class who often performed on the streets, earning applauses, compliments and money. This house surrounds me in a wave of nostalgia everytime I’m here, as if there was someone throwing a bucket of cold water into my whole body everytime I look at this house, but instead of cold water, nostalgia.  The room was filled with the scent of pine and lavender, with the subtle smell of hot chocolate in all the room coming from the kitchen. I felt my world so calm in that moment, my heart was at peace, and my mind in blank. It was one of those moments where you know they’re never coming back, moments that ...

 Sebastian Reyes, Y11 Before i started reading the book i saw in various videos how politicians during the first world war called this conflict “the war to end all wars”.However, 21 years after the end of world war 1, world war 2 began and by reading this book i learned that world war 2 was almost 5 times as deadly as the first world war Just before I started reading the books, its title, the story of the second world war and its front page showing a German bombardment of what appears to be London caught my attention. I had some vague expectations of what the book would show me. like for example: how world war 2 started, every major event of the war, how and why Germany lost the war, important battles like Stalingrad and Kursk and a book which would emphasize the importance of the USA and UK in the war. something that i really don't like since countries like the USSR sacrificed and lost much more to defeat the germans. But, I still understanded since the book was written by a B...

 Miguel Angel Romero  All of us are born with one single life, we need to take advantage of it and take care of what we do, but not all of us are born with this curse, there is one animal on this planet that is blessed with 7 lifes, the cat. Cats are well-known for their cunning instinct and their multiple lifes that they have had since they were born, also they enjoy the fish a lot and during their living they learn from the mistakes they make during their whole life and most of the times one mistake means one breath that death would take away from him.  Nick is a black cat that lives in the coastline about 20 km from the sea, all the mondays he used to go besides a fish store and take a truck to the ocean for getting food for the whole week, but one day as he used to make, he wake up and run to the store for getting his transport but when he arrive there, the truck wasn’t there, so he wait and wait until he fell asleep in the middle of the road, causing a car to run ove...

 by Beatriz Viegas Life is a game Life is not real. I used to be just a normal teenager until I found out that my life was a complete lie.  One random night I woke up really scared thanks to my traumatising alarm clock, then I just took a shower, brushed my teeth and ate something because I couldn't sleep again. I was having a really weird sensation of deja vu, like I already had lived that moment before and like I was following a script I hadn't written. Right after, I decided to get ready and go to school. Everything was normal. I was simply talking with my friends when one of them out of the blue started glitching like he was a character in a poorly programmed video game and with a blink of my eyes, suddenly everything was normal again like this never happened. Was I losing my mind? Was I the only one who saw that happening?  When I got home, I spent hours trying to nd answers to this. I went for a walk to notice more glitches and weird things along the day. Conversati...
