  1. this is my first word and i don’t know anything about it. i am quite familiar about this word because of carbin dioxide and that’s it. do i have to elaborate this thing? but how? i am not well informed about this. i feel stupid and dumb.

  2. is an element, where diamonds come from. when combined with oxygen forms another element which helps plants breathe.

  3. Her lungs filled with carbon instead of oxygen, she gasped, but to no avail. She felt the dirt closing in around her. There was no escape. This was her end, buried alive.

  4. She pulled out the box from the stack in front of her. Inside was a stack of perctly preserved carbon paper and a letter addressed to her. It was written when her father had been overseas working at the embassy.

  5. we are a carbon base life form but do we have to live a carbon copy life? too many of us do just that living a repeated existence.

  6. What a meaningless gift, the divine creator has give unto us. We are the unfathomably infinite construction of carbon. A beautifully never-ending consciousness that allows us the most wondrous of possibilities. Yet as mortals, do we not just throw this away?

    Devon
  7. I need to learn more about carbon.

    Taylor
  8. carbon is the most found element in the chemistry.
    Whatever we see around ourself, more than 90% is made of carbon
    Believe it or not.

  9. Thumping and pulsating with the beat of the road, this organ pipe spewed its musical smoke up and out. Towards the sky, the music of carbon particles shook the walls of the Ozone.

    John Komarek
  10. I feel like everything that surrounds me is just as poisonous as carbon monoxide.

    I am fatigue, I am in pain, I am dying on the inside.

    Why must everything have to be this way?

  11. Carbon Dioxide. Or CO2 I was breathing it out heavily after that chase. My mind was racing what did they want from me and how did they find me?

  12. that is all that is left of the burned skeleton of the house. The roof has completely fallen. All the old stored photo albums are burned to ash. The memories lost as a light breeze lifts them into the air.

  13. Her lungs became filled
    with the carbon-heavy smoke,
    creating a deep hole
    within her chest
    and leaving her raw throat dry.

  14. She could smell the carbon on the paper as if it were yesterday. As a teachers aide it was her job to make copies fornthe class of 28 students everyday after lunch. This was over 30 years ago but the memory seemed like a few moments ago instead.

    Crisnole
  15. the cloud went up into the air as he stood on a hill looking at the cloud of burning carbon and posessions below him. You may wonder why carbon? because carbon is cheap now. And cheap is key. He even saw his childhood bike burnt along with everything else that could cause people to feel in this day and time.

    Clare Astaire
  16. we are all made out of carbon. the universe, the stars, the planets, my hair, my cat’s nails. Stardust. Colliding solar systems and crashing meteors. We are all carbon. One simple physical breakdown that defines everything.

  17. She gasped. Her lungs tightened. She was running out of time. Carbon monoxide poisoning. She could see the cause of death there in black and white print. How pathetic.

  18. Carbon reminds me of the color gray, but it’s also part of “carbon dioxide,” which is air. Gray is one of my favorite colors — boring, yes, but it’s partly because other colors pop against it, and air is essential to life. I think I’ll go for a walk today.

  19. what is my carbon footprint, I wonder? I am small… I take up very litte space, but i do have a way of aquiring junk, albiet junk that has already been loved by another. Good Will,, Thrift shops,,, very seldom do i get anything new, really. We are all consumers lke it or not

  20. carbon sits next to oxygen at the table. “is it your first day too?” he asks. oxygen smiles shyly and, with a lisp, replies with a quiet “yes”. from that day they are best friends, until year 10 comes around and hydrogen moves to the school and from that day on oxygen, who doesn’t have a lisp anymore, won’t even talk to carbon.

  21. never saw a word!!

  22. Ticking clocks around the world care little for the wilting orchids that don’t flower this season.

  23. carbon can kill you if its too much in your system.

    pashe'
  24. Carbon…Carbon dioxide? It causes suffocation. That’s it. But her eyes? Here eyes were black as carbon and her hair as well. They were suffocating. When you saw her you were left with no air to breathe.

    Roxanne
  25. my boyfriend’s brother has a carbon fiber hood on his car. i need carbon dioxide to live, because i don’t want to die. carbon monoxide…. bad!

  26. Carbon based life forms running around like chickens with their heads cut off, scrambling for purchase is this pathetic world of other carbon based life forms just like them, with minor differences in appearance and mindset. They’re carbon copies cut from the same jello mold.

    I prefer arsenic.

  27. is shit. It’s what toast has on it. I like toast. But not cabon. What’s carbon fibre? I know they make cars out of it. Pretty cool. Only good cars though. Toasty cars.

  28. “It’s an imprint,” Tony stated, carefully studying the mark in the soil, “I think it’s carbon based.”

    James snorted.

    “You’ve been watching too much Star Trek!”

  29. Dioxide, put out by us, breathed in by plants, too much in the atmosphere is frying us all. Drought and fires and the ice caps are melting, no two ways about it. Also, Han Solo was frozen in it. Yup.

  30. dark scraping brushing over
    waxy transparent paper
    afterimages and shades
    the slight jutting of engravings
    the depressions of age

  31. …Dioxide. Trees swap it with us for oxygen. I don’t know:(

  32. its funny how carbon comes to be from the output of trees to the creation of all living things as all living things are made up of carbon. diamonds are made up of carbon too they are the prettiest of things to look at but are they practicle? who knows, not me thats for sure

  34. dangerous for the planet, but also good for my soda. i dont know if i rather live without soda or global warming

  35. Carbon is a very versatile element. It can be as dull as graphite or as beautiful as the diamond on your hand. But I think that diamond will be grander if I had been given the chance to place that around your finger.

  36. E diencephalic of all life on earth. One carbon molecule = Building block for life on the planet earth.
    CO = danger, CO2 = danger
    carbon dating

    Remnants of a fire on a beach = carbon
    Carbon paper, way. To make a somy of a letter or drawing.

  37. My chemistry teacher told me that carbon is the most compatible element in existence. Most lifeforms are carbon based. mother nature used it like glue throughout almost everything, it’s the connector piece like lego.

  38. Like the carbon monoxide that pulled my friend Kyle from his body, the call of life pulls me from this shell that I am entrapped in. My release will be sweeter than his was, though. My release puts me into the throes of life, rather than setting me free of them.

    I still think of you, Kyle.

  40. Cardon Dioxide. Cardon Monoxide. Mono, one. Disease my brother has. From sharing food and what not.
    Tired. 6:19am. Been up for over an hour. Tired. Tired..Tired…….
    Class is soon. Needed to get this out of the way. Been skipping it a lot..
