A Short Story : A Story?

“I had to do some finagling to get the approval to see you,” Dr. Wilkinson said. “But I managed. I had your nurse draw blood and I ordered some blood tests. Your blood tests revealed some striking results. The reason you are so tired is because you lost over half of the blood in your body. It’s a miracle you didn’t die. And the reason you probably didn’t die is because you lost the blood very, very slowly. For your extensive blood loss, I can give you a blood transfusion, and you’ll feel better almost instantly. Or I can have you take iron pills. But with iron pills it take a few months for you iron level to get back to normal, and for you to feel better. So which would you prefer?”

The sun was high in the sky, gleaming down on us. The air was breezy, but not cold. The day was ordinary, or so it seemed. But what was out of place? That would be my brother, the only person who could possibly get himself into such a situation, with his impossible ability to almost die, but just miss the mark. As he sat there on the ground with his back to us, legs sprawled out in front of him, we didn’t even realize that there was anything wrong. Hold on a second. Let’s rewind this just a little.

“Let’s get him to the ambulance.” I heard the doctor say. With help from he and my dad, I walked over to the ambulance, parked just around the

“Ma’am, I’m sorry, but we have to go, and there just isn’t enough room in here for us to work with a family member in the way.” The other paramedic then said trying to placate my mama while also trying to get her to understand that what they were asking of her was in the best interest of my step daddy. “We’re going to take him to Saint Christopher’s. He’s going to need a CAT scan so we can see what’s going on with his brain. And, we really need to go, so you’ll just have to meet us there.”

I smiled back at him as my parents who were sleeping on the floor and on the couch next to me woke up as well. The doctor greeted all of us and said “ok so I have found a way to see If your kidneys will recover” I looked at him eagerly and excited a big smile appeared on my face for the first time since the news of my kidney’s failing.

“But you’re not human, correct? Do you want to scared your parents, by trying to drink their blood?”

“You grew a new liver while starving and bleeding out. You bled more than I probably could without dying, and I am almost twice your size… You shouldn’t have had that much blood in your whole

“Because after the ambulance left and we went to the hospital I or Him must've stepped in her blood can we go now we have to get back to our house

As Jenna stood there drenched in the oniony stench of the cafeteria's chili, all she could think about was how she was going to get revenge on Taylor Everly.

The light was shining on Evangeline's face as she opened her eyes. Her head was throbbing and as she looked around her, she didn't know where she was at. It wasn't until she saw Mason and Casey sleeping beside her on the pillows that she remembered everything. The dancing and food and the new hideout. The alcohol and the laughing. The bright light. The loud noises. Everything. The world has died back to normal, no longer having the sharp clarity it had the night before. Her mouth was really dry though, so she climbed down the ladder, trying not to wake the others. She quietly crept to the mini-fridge in the corner of the room and pulled out a glass of water. They didn't have any Tylenol, so this would have to do for now. She ungraciously chugged the bottle of water and sighed, plopping down on the nearest beanbag and closing her eyes.

Athena was terrified. It was almost as if the wind was screaming at her as she was walking into the Forest. She was only going to take a few steps into the Forest. At least that’s whatshe thought. Athena could feel her heart beating in her chest so fast that she thought for a moment it was going to fly out. Slowly, she turned around, prepared to go back to her best friend. As soon as Athena turned around, the only thing she saw was shadowy trees, surrounding her, almost as if they were going to kill her.

It had been little over a week since they arrived at what remained of the ark. Though Raven couldn’t really be sure how long they had been in the sky, she was keeping track of the days, not the way she should have been. She was preoccupied working on what need to be fixed. There was no way in hell she was going to let this fail, not after everything they had been through, not after Clarke sacrificed herself to make sure they got here. Taking in a deep breath she glanced out the window catching site of the earth a frown formed on her parted lips. She still couldn’t believe what happened, it didn’t seem like that long ago she crash landed on the earth, it was so green now it was in flames. With a shake of the head she turned her gaze from the plant, there was no time for sitting around doing nothing. She had to much to do to day to just sit around and do nothing. She wished she had more hours to get everything done, or at least more people to help out with what need to be done.

One day in the early spring of 1997 James Jameson was at home eating his favorite cereal reeses puffs while watching spiderman, when all of a sudden the TV cuts to the news and apparently the world is in its early stages of ending. James realized he was home alone and his family had gone out of the town for a little bit, so he decided to set off to find his family. About 3 hours after walking and searching everywhere it starts getting dark and he needed to find shelter. When it was about 9:00pm he stumbled upon an abandoned amusement park and when he eventually found out where he was his anxiety kept raising up little by little.

It was a perfect day to be outside. No breeze to blow clouds in front of the sun that was making my brother and I faces bead with sweat as we hopped out of his SUV. The drive through the gravel backroads was harsh. We were bouncing everywhere because he needed to replace his shocks on his red 4 runner.

I knew this was it, nothing else matter. I felt out of my body in this moment. The water turn on by itself. The water was the most beautiful thing I have seen in so long. Nothing could compare to the release the water will bring me. The way I will feel no more pain, because the water came me the release I’ve been craving. I lower myself into the tub. I lay down and took my last breath of air. I then submerged my head into the water.
