  1. They’re fighting again.

    Screams reverberate all around the hall, drifting up the hallway. I’m only eight, but I know what they are shouting about- alcohol or drugs or cheating, or all three. I try not to listen, but I am eight, and I don’t know how to tune off just yet.

    They’re fighting again, and I don’t know if this time will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

  2. straw, amber, beer, a shady hat on a sunny day. Itchy calves, and sweaty backs. Slurpees from 7-eleven. Fishermen.

  3. She was wearing a wide-brimmed, straw hat to block the sun’s harmful UV rays while she worked in her flower garden. Bugs were buzzing around her, which was the one downfall she felt existed to gardening; unlike her fellow nature lovers, she couldn’t stand bugs. However, she had come equipped by spraying her straw hat with bug spray before going outside.

  5. I held the straw between my fingers, looking up at him through my bangs. Curiosity filled his eyes as i slowly brought the straw up to my lips to take a long drag of my “cigarette.” I stood up as I blew out a puff of imaginary smoke and made my way over to him. I leaned down, my hair pooling against his chest. “I can do,” I whispered against his neck, “anything you can do. Just give me a chance.”

  10. I like straws. Well, actually, it depends what “straw” you mean. You can straw hats that farmers might wear while rocking back and forth looking out to their straw crops. (He might even be chewing on a piece of it). You might have crazy straws or drinking straws, too.

  11. Straws are thin, they are tall, and are bendable. Whenever I use a straw, I’m kind of scared to get wrinkles because I know the kissy face you make will make you more prone to wrinkles. I’m only 16 though, so I shouldn’t really worry. I guess that makes me vain in the end. I’m scared to grow old.

  12. This was the last straw. I was gonna get a job if they liked it or not. No more being afraid, intimidated, or self conscious.
    This is me, and I’m going to be boss.

  13. always clutching and never getting a real hold. we have a a lot this strewn across the fields, apparently useful for a few things such as man’s fuel and fodder for livestock. It’s funny how nature works, funny as to how it becomes a figure of speech….

  14. I’m like a man hanging on the last straw. Its the last hope. I don’t know where it is going to take me

  15. long thing tube that bends, also dried grass that cows and horses eat. The last straw, finding a needle in a hay stack – wait hay is straw right? Straw coloured hair is blond and dry, I hate when my hair turns into straw. Straw berry? why do straw berries have straw in them? they arent the berry of straw.

  16. well you can use straws for drinking, or even science experiments. they have many purposes, and it’s quite surprising about the things you can do with them. it was proven you can make music with them. we made whistles out of them in science class, when i was in second grade. it was very cool!

  17. “Ah, Jeez!” said Biff, “That’s the last straw.” He threw a punch at Leonard, knocking him, and his glasses into a mud puddle.
    Leonard pulled himself up, his nose bloodied, and said, “You’re just proving my point, in which I likened you to a semi-sentient hominid.”

    He had great difficulty walking home from school that day, with his underwear pulled up over his head.

  18. straws are cool. i love the bendy ones. the straight ones at to go thingies are nasty. the striped are so cool. they remind me of candy canes. and the bent straight ones are like super candy canes. straw is in hay. like haystacks. that u cant find needles in. yeah

  19. A straw. It’s the crazy kind. Purple and white stripes. I used to live off these simple pieces of plastic as a kid. I would giggle and slurp up my ice cold milkshake. Watching it swirl upwards was so exciting for me at the time. It’s strange how thrilling things are as a child, and how insignificant they become once we grow up.

  20. That was the last straw. I dropped my pen pick up the sheet and shook if free of all the sprinkles of eraser it had collected in the past few minutes of vigiourous writing and deleting. I needing my think space clear and this markings were destroying my flow.

  22. The straw that broke the camels back.
    Life is what you make it, so don’t let it break you.
    But sometimes, you’ve just had enough … and feel broken .. and it was that damn straw.

  23. He tackled her and they fell into the straw pile laughing. She looked at him lovingly and he whispered “I love you.” She said “I love you too.” and leaned in for a kiss. She buried her face in his shoulder and they both knew this was something they would never forget.

  24. I do not like to use straws because they give you premature wrinkles. They make my drink go away faster. They come in all sorts of colors. They are long and bendable. I use a straw at least once a day. People use them to mix there drinks up. They

  26. In times of strife the straw beneath their feet provided traction, helping them leap atop eighteen-hands-tall horses and gallop away. In times of joy it decorated the wooden floors with the cacophony of rhythmic stomps, the center and the abandoned of the dance. The nourishment for the livestock, the padding for the comfort of their beds, the nervous habit for a restless mouth – but never the hero, merely the aide. No one remembers the name of the helper in fairy tales, do they?

  27. A man stood in a field, burning and only due to those that created him. They created him to burn, to be all that they wanted him to be, to be all that they were against. And as he burned, he destroyed all that opposed them. Or so they thought.

  30. This girl stuffed herself with straw so that she could be the most authentic scarecrow that ever walked the junior high halls on Halloween the last year that tin can of a building was ever open. The girl and the building were both brilliant.

  31. Her hair was like October, dry as straw, intimating the frigidity of winter. It hung loosely and even now memory crisps itself.

  33. A straw is a simple thing, from straws of my childhood (CRAZY STRAWS OMGLOEKJG: AMAZING!!) To the straws at my job, a nursing home. People too old to be able to drink unless it’s from a straw. hundreds of identical mcdonalds/burger/k

  34. I’m starting to think that this is the final straw. Ever since I graduated I have felt so isolated from the people I was once close to. I just need someone to put me first and care. I’m not trying to be high maintenance or anything but I want to feel loved. Is that so hard? Or too much to ask for? Maybe. Maybe I’m nothing special.

  35. Drinking. Sipping through a straw. All the different things you will drink. Slurping the sweet liquid as it flows into your mouth. Milk,juice, nutrients flowing into your bloodstream and body turning your insides up and down.

  38. We struggle to move but our limbs are like straw. The stars in the sky are too dim to guide us from this filmy thicket. There are fireflies in the horizon but they dance through the air and play tricks on our eyes.

  39. in a drink it is what you sip from. it often can bend and sometimes it is just regular and straight, like they are are mcdonalds or starbucks, however bendy straws are commonly sold in large packs and with multicolored stripes resembling circuses, in my humble opinion. I like milk with straws and water.
