DEF of PAIN

The devils workout. Pain, deceiving, and pain. It starts out easy for the first and second rep of the 600 meter workout. The third rep is when you start feeling the pain a little bit. The fourth rep is when you realize you’re in big trouble. The fifth rep is when you realize that your coach might be trying to kill you. The very last rep, the sixth one, is when you go through hell and come back all within a matter of minutes. Legs burn up on the last 100 meter stretch. Lungs in flames from trying to inhale enough oxygen to stay alive. Arms flinging out into the air as if trying to grasp it. You tell yourself that there is only 100 meters left until all the pain is over. But once you cross that 100 meter line and collapse to the ground. You realize that even if your lungs and legs don’t burn as much as before, you still feel a sharp pain on your left rib cage which doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. Furthermore you get a throbbing pain at the back of your head that doesn’t go away for minutes, possibly hours. Nonetheless you endured all this pain in order to get faster. 

Pie

There was this boy named Koen, his dad was pushing him on the swings and across the playground James was staring at them enviously, wondering what a family is. James was an orphan and he didn’t have a dad or a mom, but he had foster parents. So James asked his foster parents what is a family, is it like us, is it like them? Well his foster parents said that a family is like a pie. As a whole it is sweet, warm, and feels like home. It can be made by anybody and how much love and care is put into the pie determines how good it comes out. Also like the number pie family goes on forever and anybody can be considered family. As long as you take care of the person and the person takes care of you then they can be considered family. So James listening to what his foster parents told him about what family is, he goes up to Koen and asks him to be a part of his family.
