  3. I see the images before me, it shakes my very foundation. I feel the pulsation in my veins, the dryness in my throat. I feel no other alternative then to rise and be heard. Enough!

  4. I rise from the ground.
    Dust coats my eyes, blurring the city into obscurity. I blink and everything becomes clear.
    Destruction had flooded my city, leaving behind only rubble.
    Death had risen like a lion, slaughtering all in sight.
    Unmovable buildings now lay in ashy heaps at my feet.
    Immortal people lay dead around me among the debris.
    Fire scorches the area, devouring everything left in sight.
    Sounds of war grow nearer.
    Blocking out the gut-wrenching pictures surrounding me, I tighten the satchel across my chest. I check inside it –food, water, clothes, matches . . .
    “Lydie,” a voice hisses. I turn around, pulling an arrow into its socket. “It’s me,” the pale male in front of me huffs, walking nearer. Beneath the dust and soot, I see who it is before he says, “Nathan.”
    I lower the bow. “Is there anyone left?”
    He shakes his head, bites his lips, and kneels beside a corpse. He chokes out, “No.”
    There is no time for emotions, I think, taking deep breaths. “Do you have food? weapons? blankets?”
    He touches the hilt of his sword, resting in his back scabbard, and the backpack strapped upon it. “Everything I own is here.”
    “We need to leave,” I say. “Immediately.”
    “The soldiers are coming.” He rises. “I’m ready.”

  9. he rose up, not afraid anymore. Again, he had hit the groud, brought downwards by his ennemies, but this time, he was up for good, this time, it would be different, as he was stronger, more confident, he had accepted himself for who he was and would never hit the ground again

Raise your standards. Raise your attitude. Be nice. Love life. Live it. Its your only one. Don’t waist it.

  16. The Senator flashed his pearly whites for the cameras and turned a tad to the left, his better angle. Congress had no explanation for the rapid rise in population nor for the drastic spike in infertility rates. But he’d just been tanning and knew they’d let it slide.

  17. Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, and wealthy, and wise.

    *nods*
    That’s better.

  18. The clouds had covered the sky while she waited. A thick wall of grey that blackened the sky and blocked out the light of the moon. She waited for him patiently, to strike down from the dense mass with the first strike of lightning. She watched the steam rise from her cup of coffee.

  19. Every rising was an opportunity to change. Every time he returned from the dead, every time he rose from the bed, every time he left the table of a friend, it was an opportunity – a cry! – to be different. A cry, from himself, to himself. Rise, his dreams whispered, those moments when he was oh-so-close to waking. Rise, his heart beat, the day, the monstrous day that she left. Yet he stayed the same, he stayed still, he moved through time as expected – but never rose.

  25. We’re twenty miles away from the fire. We’re driving north on 287 and the black sky over the mountains lights up orange every few minutes. Houses? Land? What’s rising with those flames?

  26. The sun rises in the east, and sets in the west. This is just a given. Such as the human body will breathe to allow the person to live.

    But there must be more for us than that, right?

  27. Rise up.
    Words.
    Movements.

    There are those who do- givers, leaders.
    And those who don’t swarm them.
    Crushing what they made.
    That’s life.

  28. And thus he rises up from his grave. Swollen eyes and blue lips purse themselves against the cold rain that falls down from the sky. A light drizzle more, really, he thinks as he shakes the dirt off his shoes and takes a step out on the wet ground beside him. Of all the days to rise from the dead, he had to pick a Thursday. Just his luck.

  30. Rise up and stand in your power. No one will do it for you. Your ego will tell you why you shouldn’t, why it will be wrong, all the things that could go wrong. But there is nothing more powerful than to listen to your own heart and stand up for what you believe in and for who you are. Allow yourself to find that place where when you stand tall and exude your light and purpose.

  32. Marion kept to the bow of the ship, watching the horizon as it rose and fell and rose again with the waves. She was not the least bit seasick, she was filled with hope for the future, and excitement at finally, finally, exploring a new city.

  33. He had a Southern accent. He sat across his manager and said, “I’ve been workin’ pretty hard here. I think you and I can both agree, I deserve a rise.” His manager just laughed and laughed. And laughed. The Southern man quit that day not knowing what actually had happened.

  34. Each day you get up, you do the same routine. Sometimes, when you’re in the shower, you like to shake things up and close your eyes as the water hits your face. You pretend you’re drowning. Maybe you’ll place the two pieces of toast together and eat them at the same time instead. Perhaps you’ll start your car without opening the garage door but you get scared a few seconds in and open it.

  35. rise, makes me think of rice, which i don’t like in most dishes, well, the plain white rice. in some dishes, it’s seasoned, or yellow, sometimes even red! you also have this sticky white rice which i also like. like in risotto! i love risotto. we ate risotto only yesterday, with peas and bacon, it was lovely.

    “No,” said the cashier. “All we have is rhyes.”
    Both characters wink at the camera.

  38. We sing songs like “He has risen” every day. Our job, basically, is to praise Him endlessly. The few moments we have for breaks, it’s a bunch of people I never really knew, or don’t recognize at all, telling me of past memories we shared. I have to just smile and tell them I remember. That’s what Heaven is: an eternity of pretending to remember people.

  39. Rise above everyone. You need to work hard for things you want they are not just going to be given to you. You need to rise above the influence and be able to say no. Keep your head on stay. Don’t get distracted from what you want.
