Entry 3 3069, I wish I knew your name. Then, I could call you by it. Maybe you'd wake up if I called your name. Maybe it'd help you remember. A teacher once told me, "there's nothing quite so musical to one's ear as their own being called to them". Sounded corny at the time, but--now--I sometimes whisper my own name in the dark. I'll play this game where I disguise my voice and pretend that it's someone else. Sometimes, I see Pluto in here. My dog. I guess it's a hallucination of some sort--or they say that, if you go long enough without sleep, you'll dream while you're awake. Maybe that's what it is. Dreaming. He'll be sleeping on the floor--a little spot where the sun shines through the windows. I'll call his name and he'll raise his …show more content…
Their sweet sound builds like a symphony in my mind. And there's this moment where I can practically see our guys repelling down. But then, I open my eyes and it's quiet. I'm alone. And to be alone is to be lost. They know that; that's why they keep us separated, except for when we fight. The little I know of you comes from the fights and the little bit I've overheard from the guards in the corridor. For what its worth, you're a decent fighter. If I had to guess, you have some experience in MMA, but you were smart enough to branch out. So many soldiers come out of pads thinking they're this great fighter, because they competed an arena where there's a plethora of rules to keep you from killing each other. Here, there are no rules. The guards like to see the vicious, the sadistic, the dismembering, and the absolutely brutal. And after a while you see guys practically begging to get killed. Because they want out. You've had your arm broken; your ribs have been cracked a half dozen times; your jaw's been cracked; your shoulder dislocated; the bones in feet crushed; your genitals twisted, stretched, shocked, lacerated; and you've been--how should I put it? I hope you don't think any less of me for telling the truth, but I've been inside of you. And I'm not the only one. I only tell you about this, so that you know. When you get out of here, the doctors are gonna want to know about your broken bones. And I don't know whether or
own chamber. In Edgar Allan Poe’s Tell Tale Heart, the story of this murder is told from the point of view of the killer. The narrator tells of the man’s vulture-like eye, which causes him to murder the man to rid himself forever of the villainy the eye possessed. After the murder, the narrator is haunted by the sound of the man’s beating heart to the point that he has to admit to his felony. In this ghastly tale, the narrator is guilty of premeditated murder because he had a reason to kill the man, knew right from wrong throughout the story, and had a plan to kill the old man in advance.
A person that brutally killed four people, and unaware of the very fact that he is the one that murdered all of them. “Strawberry Spring” by Stephen King is a story that takes place at New Sharon college, at the start of strawberry spring, and the narrator tells the story about how there is a killer on the college campus, and in the end we find out he is the killer. “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a story from the perspective of a mentally ill woman, who is on a summer stay at a colonial mansion, and her husband makes her stay in a bedroom to treat her mental illness, however the result is compromised due to the wallpaper in the room making her feel more ill than ever before. Lastly “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar
Lately, I’ve been losing sleep due to being waked up in the middle of the night from the sound of guns. Other soldiers and I have to crouch down in corners and empty our calibres. I have to keep watch for my things because if not they might get stolen. In the evening, the soldiers and I are aware of the the shells tearing down the barrier. When the sun rises some of the recruits are already green and vomiting because they are too inexperienced.
Imagine you are by yourself in the mountains biking when slipping on a rock to tumble forward. Lucky you have a helmet to keep your head intact, but, your whole body is not protected much and hear a loud crack! This leads you to then find that your whole right thigh is dangling by only muscle and tissue with the whole bone in two pieces. This will hurt for a little bit and will only get worse with the fact that tons and tons of adrenaline are rushing right into your leg in an attempt to stop the pain. The only thing that you cannot do is look at your leg because you know that you are too much of a chicken to look at a broken bone… oh, shoot you fainted. During this time that you're asleep, you will not feel anything but will be in a lot more pain when you wake up. Shrieks are coming from your mouth as your leg is in extreme pain, but you cannot do anything but call for help. You reach for your phone to call in an attempt to get an ambulance and touch your broken leg. This Sends tons of pain right into your leg, all to discover that your battery is dead. You have to wait it all out until someone comes. Breaking a bone is one of biggest fears in life and I wish never to break a major one until I die and this is how I imagine it. While breaking a bone there will be a loud snap which it is first thing in bone breaking. Hearing the crackling noise in a bone while breaking is not the worst part of the experience because it is like breaking some celery
I was thirteen, and I had just come home from a school softball game. My friend Dalton had invited my sister and I to come and swim at the neighborhood pond. My sister stayed home, but I got permission to go. After a while of swimming, Dalton looks at me claims that he’ll jump out of a tree near the bank if I jump out. Of course, I accepted my friend’s little dare and climbed into the tree, focusing on the seven-foot-deep drop-off off of the bank. Regrettably, I didn’t jump far enough. My right leg landed in the drop-off, but my left leg hit the clay, which caused all of my weight to shift to my left foot. I felt an immense pain in my ankle and started screaming while crawling over to the bank as Dalton ran to get my mom. After I finally made it to the emergency room, I found that I had broken my fibula at an upward slant, which caused the upper part of the bone to slam down into my ankle.I had completely blown out every ligament and tendon on the left side of my ankle. I had to have a plate and four screws implanted into my fibula along with the surgical repair of all of my ligaments and tendons. The entire ordeal left me extremely interested in the human body, and this interest was heightened when I had to get my appendix removed a few months later and again when I took Anatomy and
Horror is fiction that scares the audience or gives an eerie mood. Each short story develops horror is its own way. “The Tell Tale Heart” is about how an old man is murdered because of his evil vulture eye. “A Rose for Emily” is about how an old woman poisoned her lover to keep him from leaving. “The Lottery” is about how this town has a drawing to see who will be the sacrifice to the crops. Horror is developed in “The Tell Tale Heart,” “A Rose for Emily,” and “The Lottery” with many elements of horror.
Blind to the truth of what really happens. It’s times like this where I am forever grateful for the experience I have already been faced with gruesome events. Yet that hateful feeling of dread continues to tower over me each and every day. It’s challenging to recall what it was like for me the first I set foot on the battle field, as it seems like a lifetime ago. I suppose that I have lived a lifetime in these trenches. I wish that with every enemy I shoot it shall not say with me. A constant reminder of our sacrifices, I’m on edge as it feels like a continuous want for death. Bewildered as to when it will strike again shaken by the fact that it could be me carried away, or left in the barbarous
Everything on the battlefield was silent, I felt as my brain blocked any unnecessary senses. What made up for my hearing was somewhat of a sixth sense. I felt every movement, every breath of the enemy as everything seemed to be in slowmotion. I mow through the enemies as they had their attention averted away from me. Rage fills me as I see many of them laughing while killing my squadron. They probably looked down on us for having a woman, and on me for being a woman trying to be a sniper. Little do they know, I would be the sniper that ended their life. They finally notice me after I've taken down approximately 5 of their units. I feel as calm as ever. I feel them pull the trigger and perfectly see the bullets come through and easily dodge them without wasting any energy. I easily take out 2 more. 3 more. This was all going easily, I feel as if the tables have turned I were the one looking down on them. Until I look up and despair fills me up from my head to my toes. On the building over stand Mo’, grinning before chucking a grenade onto my building. Kling. Kling.
“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity”. A quote from one of Edgar Allan Poe’s more famous stories The Tell Tale Heart. Edgar Allan Poe’s writing is still famous to this day. Not only his writing but his life. He is known for having a difficult life and writing about it in a not so obvious way. Through all his poems and short stories there are little hints everywhere that relate to his life. Depression, insanity and Tuberculosis were all common topics from Poe’s writing that related to his life.
I was eight months old when my chubby little body broke its strongest bone. Being my outgoing, curious self I was beginning to become more and more comfortable with the edges of my parents bed. With my brother not paying attention, I decided to test my knowledge of life. The result of me falling to the ground is captured in photographs, a chubby kid with a groin high blue cast, sitting on top of the same bed.

In Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Tell-Tale Heart," the author combines vivid symbolism with subtle irony. Although the story runs only four pages, within those few pages many examples of symbolism and irony abound. In short, the symbolism and irony lead to an enormously improved story as compared to a story with the same plot but with these two elements missing.
In the short story, “The tall tale heart” written by “ Edgar Ellan Poe” my inturputation of the story was, actions have conciquesnses and even if you arent caught by the law, you can not escape the guilt of your own mind. In the short story, theres one man who in my view is crazy. He watches an innocent man who he believes is evil. He stalks him every night and eventually murders him. Although the police could not find any evidence of the crazy mans actions, the real consiquence is in the mans mind.
I grew up as a pretty reserved person in the suburbs of Pittsburgh. I knew what happened outside of my home, but I was not exposed to it on the daily, or even yearly, basis. Growing up, I saw fights on TV, in movies, and heard about them from my friends. I never really irritate people, except close friends, so no one cares to fight me. Also, I would probably lose. My friends always tell me how annoying I am. “Luke is annoying,” a friend said. In my seventeen years of life, I have only had a few physical fights, and they have all been between a few individuals.
A person’s ability to see is often taken for granted as it is in "Cathedral" by Raymond Carver. Although the title suggests that the story is about a cathedral, it is really about two men who are blind, one physically, the other psychologically. One of the men is Robert, the blind friend of the narrator’s wife; the other is the narrator-husband himself. The husband is the man who is psychologically blind. Carver deftly describes the way the husband looks at life: from a very narrow-minded point of view. Two instances in particular illustrate this. The first is that the husband seems to believe that the most important thing to women is being complimented on their looks; the second is
