** Unclogs toilets, sinks, and floor drains **
The drain blaster uses the power of high-pressure, compressed air to blast away the toughest clogs in your drains in seconds. Just pump the drain blaster and squeeze the trigger, and the clog is cleared instantly. This plunger works much faster than traditional plungers and snakes.

<!-- The power outage had been far from unexpected. Actually, every sin=
gle person had been ready for it 10 minutes before the clock struck 7:28 p.=
m. on April 16. After all, that was when the sun broke it?s protection and =
the darkness crawled out of it?s cave, slithering through the city and infe=
cting any light with it?s poisonous touch. The people of the city had been =
warned of this magic and the dangers that it possessed. Darkness meant trou=
ble. And they couldn?t have trouble. Especially in a time of war. Peyton Ha=
rvey tucked his head and pushed them to his knees as he held them tight in =
the bathtub of Apartment number 6B on Ashbury Street. He rocked slightly ba=
ck and forth, trying to steady his shaking breath. His parents placed him i=
n there since that was one of the safest places in the apartment before lea=
ving him and hiding under the dining table. His nose ran and silent tears p=
oked and prodded at his eyes until they streamed down his face. His eyes bu=
rned as he squeezed them shut. He finally opened them and as he looked arou=
nd the bathroom, he felt shadows creeping across the walls and trapping him=
in their grasp. He craned his head and peered at the window but with the c=
urtains drawn and towels squished up against the edges, nothing could be se=
en from there either. Suddenly, he heard planes from above. His heart dropp=
ed to his stomach, and he tucked himself in so tightly he felt as if he wou=
ld explode. He bawled his eyes out until he wasn?t aware of anything around=
him. He felt emptiness, fear, loneliness, everything. He sat there and cri=
ed and cried until he just stopped. Eventually, everything went black and h=
e drifted off into a deep sleep, away from reality.=20
?Luckily yesterday night no bombings happened,? The newsreporter read from =
his script, fingers latched together as he stared at the camera, trying to =
break his stern face and produce a small, humble smile - something everyone=
needed. ?Thank you to everyone for doing their part, and we will continue =
this procedure until everything is clear.?
Peyton slightly jumped when the TV clicked off, drifting back into reality.=
=20
?I?ll go make breakfast,? His mom said quickly as she gracefully swept hers=
elf up off the couch and maneuvered her way to the small kitchen where she =
began cracking eggs and pouring the contents in a pan sizzling yellow with =
butter.=20
Peyton sunk into the couch, reaching into his pocket and retrieving his pho=
ne. The moment he clicked the on button, the screen burst to life with mess=
ages from his friends, family members, and more. He opened up his phone, su=
cking in a breath before reading some of the texts.=20
How are you guys? Everyone okay? A text read from his Aunt Gina. Before res=
ponding, he opened up a few more, each expressing the same concern as the f=
irst one, asking if anyone was hurt or if they needed anything. The text me=
ssages began to overwhelm Peyton, and he let the phone slip from his grip, =
dropping and bouncing on the cushion next to him. He smoothed out his hair,=
and let out a deep breath.=20
?Everything okay kiddo?? His father asked, looked at Peyton from the dining=
table with concern.=20
Peyton was barely aware of the question, for his eyes flashed with memories=
from the night before. The cold touch of the bathtub on his back, the plan=
e engines cutting through the air producing frightening thoughts from him a=
s he squeezed into a tight ball. The feel of tears smathering his pale face=
as he tucked it in between his legs.=20
?Yeah, all good,? He said, his voice slightly higher than intended, raising=
the concern on his father?s face.=20
After sliding around the eggs and breaking the thin layer that caused the y=
olk to spill over the eggs, Peyton shoved a few bits into his mouth and lef=
t the room in a hurry. When he made it to his room, he swallowed the rest o=
f the contents still poking and prodding in his throat. He barely made it t=
o the chair placed in front of the desk without his legs giving out from be=
neath him. His mind raced and his breath increased steadily. Barely thinkin=
g, he swiveled the chair around and threw the top of his laptop open, typin=
g in his password with lightning reflexes and opening up a window. The brig=
ht light caused him to squint and he finally located the missing social stu=
dies assignment he needed to do before the semester ended. As he opened the=
link to the video about the Civil War, his mind drifted off slightly and h=
is eyes became glued to the window. With the video playing in the backgroun=
d, he surveyed the ground beneath him. Far less people were roaming the str=
eets and only a small portion of cars were speeding through the narrow path=
way. People were scared. He was scared. And it was because of the same exac=
t thing. With his eyes watching the activity of people below picking fruit =
from the stands and sipping the last of their iced coffee before tossing it=
aside, when the air horn sounded he jumped up and a shiver coarsed through=
him. He paused the video and stood, listening to the whining noise of the =
blaring siren. Something was wrong. He peered all around until something ca=
ught his eye. In the corner of the window pane, soldiers were pouring into =
the streets, firing their weapons at lightning speed. Screams and cries wer=
e heard even through the glass, and cars swerved trying to dodge the bullet=
s but crashed quickly. People were struck and they collapsed in a heap to t=
he asphalt and concrete, the contents they held scattering across the groun=
d. Peyton felt like screaming. He could barely move a muscle and his mouth =
opened slightly but nothing came out. Just? emptiness. His eyes bugged out =
at the sight of what laid out in front of him until he saw two soldiers run=
to the entrance of their apartment and then disappear. His heart dropped f=
aster than a bowling bowl, and suddenly, his instincts took over. He turned=
and ran out of the room as fast as he could.=20
?MOM! DAD!? He screamed.=20
They came running out of their rooms with the same expression on both faces=
and without a word they each grabbed him by the arm and they all ran faste=
r than the speed of light, swinging the door open and bursting out into the=
hallway. They could hear shouting from the stairwell behind them, and when=
Peyton turned around he was met with a sight of the top of soldiers' heads=
breaching from the stairs. Before they could see them and fire their weapo=
ns, Peyton was pushed through a doorway and he could barely feel his feet a=
s he was sent down the metal stairway, being squashed from either side from=
his mother and father. The cold breeze sliced through the air, and sent mo=
re shivers up and down his spine. His eyes flashed so quickly from one thin=
g to another he barely had any idea where he was or what was happening. All=
he could hear was gunfire, the heavy breathing of his parents as they pull=
ed him down the stairwell, and the pounding of his heart that sent waves of=
pain throughout his chest. When they hit the pavement, they broke free of =
one another and ran. They ran as fast as they could. No regrets. No looking=
back. Only looking forward. They ran and ran and ran into the depths of th=
e night, trying to get away from the darkness that threatened to consume th=
em.=20
The sun burned through Peyton?s eyelids, and he groggily sat up, rubbing hi=
s eyes and stretching as he took in his surroundings. Silence. He peered ar=
ound, and found himself lying inside of a dugout. The place was abandoned, =
except for a few bats lying in a corner and a bag of baseballs sitting on t=
he bench, with few other balls scattered around the area. He walked outside=
and stared at the field. The wind blew slightly, and the blades of grass b=
lew in the same direction as if they were one. Peyton was confused at first=
at what had happened and where he was, but he recognized this as the baseb=
all field in Bentley park. He remembered when did his Little League games h=
ere. He could still picture him at the base, ready to hit with the bat over=
his shoulder. The pitcher threw, and the contact of the bat with the ball =
made the perfect sound, sending waves out into the crowd as they all jumped=
up and yelled their cheers and approval as he ran around all three bases, =
and finally sliding into home just on time. Teammates ran from the dugout h=
e was now sitting in, and they all toppled on top of him, throwing hugs and=
playful fists at him as he smiled. The smile showed slightly right now as =
the corners of his lips pulled up. Then, he looked behind the other dugout =
and saw the building tops of the city. As quickly as it had come, his smile=
slowly fell, and the once happy memory shattered as it fell to the ground.=
It was replaced with flashbacks from the night before. The gunfire that st=
ill ran throughout his ears. The pounding of his heart, daring to rip out h=
is chest. The darting of his eyes from one scene to another, the motion mov=
ing all too quickly for him to comprehend. A hand was placed on his shoulde=
r and he looked up into his father?s eyes. Nothing true or happy held in th=
eir either, just an unoccupied space where deep, dark thoughts lay.=20
?What do we do now?? Peyton asked, his voice flat.=20
?Well, the best thing to do is go to Aunt Gina?s house. It?s a few miles ou=
t from here, away from the city,? He replied, wholeheartedly. Peyton turned=
his head back to the field, his eyes on the wispy grass as another wind bl=
ew, sending them twisting and turning every which way.=20
?Well the sooner we get there the better. Let?s go wake mom up,? He clapped=
his hands together and walked away to prepare for the journey.=20
The walk was longer than expected. Or maybe it was just Peyton?s imaginatio=
n. But, the thing that guaranteed was that it was not easy. Aunt Gina lived=
4.6 miles away from Bentley Park, and it was an exhausting adventure. Not =
having eaten or drank anything since the night before was taking its toll o=
n Peyton as he head hung low and the tips of his shoes scraped against the =
asphalt, causing his mother to wheel around to him before yelling at him ab=
out how he shouldn?t do that because they weren?t sure how much longer the =
3 year old shoes would last. He rolled his eyes when she turned her back on=
him. Every time they heard or saw a military truck in the distance, they r=
an into the bushes and ducked until the coast was clear. They weren?t sure =
whether the vehicle that had passed was good or bad for them, but they were=
n?t particularly interested in finding out. After a few slow, dreadful hour=
s of jumping in and out of bushes, they finally took a turn onto Aunt Gina?=
s road, and then walked a few houses before going up the driveway, through =
the cobblestone path up to the steps, and rang the doorbell. Out of breath =
and covered in prickly thorns, the door was finally opened and out came Aun=
t Gina, hands on her hips and her lips curled.=20
?Thought you?d never make it,? She said, pulling the door open further. ?Co=
me on in.?
After spending a few minutes in the bathroom washing up and pulling out the=
prickers that got caught in Peyton?s shirt and skin, he walked back out in=
to the living room where a plate with a burger and some fries lay in betwee=
n everyone else?s. He hopped over the top of the couch and plopped down ont=
o the cushions, reaching for the burger and taking a huge bite, mouth water=
ing and hope restoring. The TV flickered before changing stations until fin=
ally the picture brightened and the sound became clear.=20
?Everyone, please get as far away from the city as possible. Military is tr=
ying to fight off the others and we don?t want anyone to get hurt. In some =
more unfortunate news, we have breaking news. So far, there have been 453 c=
onfirmed deaths and 289 injured including soldiers. Like I said before, eve=
ryone please evacuate the city and its surroundings. After the station went=
dead, everyone sat there for a moment avoiding eye contact until finally A=
unt Gina broke the silence. ?Well, looks like we?ll be on the road for a wh=
ile. Let?s get packing.?
After filling up the Jeep with bottles of water, some food, blankets, pillo=

<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;">Freezing. Starving. Tired. The darknes=

<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;">I hate it when that happens. Seven bil=
lion people in the world and fate chose to pair me up with him. Probably mo=
re like karma, to be honest. We're both fire-born witches. We're both conne=

yet, he's always had it easy. Part of me still hates him. Part of me will a=

<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>=20
<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;">He was lucky enough to be born to a hi=

<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>=20
<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;">I don't understand what I did. I was q=

lying in this ditch, left to die. Jealousy. I know. It's stupid. I hate hi=
m because I'm jealous of him. But somehow, I love him for the exact same re=
ason. Telling myself it's strange does me no good. Through all the misery, =
he's the one that kept me alive.</span></p>=20
<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>=20
<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;">?Do you see anything? Any red-eyes?' H=

<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;">More frightened than ever, I looked ar=

Not yet. They're going to come looking. You know it.'</span></p>=20
<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>=20
<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;">?Stop! Stay calm. I'll be there before=

<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>=20
<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;">A noise came from a far corner of the =
tunnel. My head jerked towards the direction of the noise immediately. My h=
eart started pounding. This is it. Footsteps approached. ?Kyle, Hurry pleas=

<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>=20
<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;">Scratching sounds soon followed, torme=
nting me. I struggled out of my seated position and onto my knees. I need t=
o be ready to run. Still shivering from the cold, I kept shifting my gaze a=
cross all the openings in the tunnel. And then I saw it. A couple of glowin=

From fairies dancing across a mountain in Caracato, Bolivia. On that day I=
