Entry #3: Mint

 I had recently gone to the store and bought myself a small package of mints. When I arrived home, I tore the paper packaging open and took a singular mint out. It was hard to the touch and white as snow.

The mint I had eaten left me feeling refreshed. Like I had gone outside and sucked in a huge breath of cool springtime air. It made my mouth and throat burn but in a pleasant way. It feels like I can breathe smoother. The smell on my breath is strong and lingering. I could feel how it dissolved in my mouth. The sound of the crunching was loud inside my mouth, the chunks of it being broken down seemed to amplify the flavor and strength of the freshness. The flavor is strong, biting, almost spicy, it left me feeling like I was outside during the winter season where snow covered the ground like a thick blanket.


The mint I had eaten left me feeling refreshed, giving me the sensation as if I could see my own breath as I exhaled. Inhaling made my mouth feel like a cave in the mountains.

    Your description of the mint is so vivid! I love how you capture the sensation of freshness, especially the cool, almost spicy flavor and the feeling of being outdoors in winter. The details about the crunch and how the mint dissolves really bring the experience to life! It makes me almost want to try one myself.

    Good start with using sensory details to describe this experience though you did use the word "mint" several times. Keep pushing yourself!

Entry #6: Statistically speaking...

  If you are reading this, then I presume that you know what Russian Roulette is. But if you don’t, it is a game originating around the late 1800s in Russia that involves a certain number of players (at least two) and a revolver with a single round loaded. The players will then place the muzzle either to themselves or to their opponent. A fairly lethal game that ends with at least one person dying. However, people claim that the game is lethal and wrong to play, it is gambling with your life and you will most likely lose, but the game isn’t always lethal. The game is not as full of death as people make it out to be. Statistically speaking, Russian Roulette could be considered a safe game to play, as crazy as it sounds. If you were to interview 100 people who have played Russian Roulette, all 100 of those people have survived the game and lived to tell the tale. So, if we’re talking about statistics here, it means that Russian Roulette is 100% safe since the survival rate is 100%. A...

Entry #2: Would you?

One of the many time travel questions people ask is, “Would you go back in time and kill baby Hitler?”. This questions is purely for the sake of wondering what people would do if given the chance, but what if you could? Imagine you are in that situation, not a “What if?” or “Would you?” situation, but you did, in fact, go back in time and kill baby Hitler? In our current timeline you would be hailed as a hero for saving many people from certain death or corruption, but to the people of that time you would be a monster, a baby killer. You wouldn’t be able to explain anything to anyone in that time, they wouldn’t believe you anyways. Nobody would believe that you are from the future and came to their time to kill this baby to save thousands of lives, they would think you are insane or some nutcase. It makes you think about all those who have killed babies and have been called monsters for it. It makes you wonder if they were all just heroes from the future trying to prevent a horrible ev...

Entry #8: Un-Obese the Morbidly

Image
 Obesity is a major problem around the world, especially in the United States. According to statistics, around 100 million people in the United States alone suffer from obesity. This is why a theoretical proposal was made to create something to fix that problem. This proposal will bring something forth called 'Fat Camps'. The idea for these Fat Camps will be for the obese and the obese only. Morbidly obese people will be brought to these Fat Camps in order to lose weight. The people here will not receive inhumane treatment and will be treated to accommodate their needs, such as private rooms and bathrooms. The people here will have to lose weight through activities and exercise (Walking, hiking, swimming, etc.). The morbidly obese at the Fat Camps will be treated fairly, those will special needs such as disability will receive more attention from staff. Doctor-recommended diets will be placed and there will be daily exercise implemented. These Fat Camps will be legally enforced...
