The alarm of the police siren was deafening, as you slowly stubble into your slippers. You look through the curtains to see a obscure shadow figure that you think is the police car. Your stern landlord stomps down onto your floor and slams the door open. He asks you, “What did you do this time?”. You can’t quite see the landlord through the haze in your room. You start to remember last night when you were talking to your parents about how big of a disgrace you were. The landlord started to scrutinize you even more. You remember that your adolescence has held you back from growing into the adult. Then it hits you, you remember throwing water balloons at the landlords house and he called the cops.

Having stress in your life will allow your stress tolerance to build. A good way to deal with bad stress is simply breathing deep.

I chose the book The Last Moriarty by Charles Veley. I find the book interesting because of the back story of the sherlock series. The book has a lot of mystery in it. I am really excited about the book because I have read the sherlock series before and it is quite an exquisite find. I love how they use old English to show new forms of English and different aspects of the writing are intriguing. I guarantee that this book will slowly get more interesting if it is anything like the other books in the series. Can’t Wait To Read It!
