Brendan And His Breaks: A Fictional Narrative

Hi guys! This past weekend we were graced with a much needed fall break. After a few weeks of constant studying, it was nice to have a four day weekend to sit back and relax. After my two tests on Friday I drove seven hours to meet my dad and my girlfriend's dad in Pittsfield Illinois for a few day hunting trip at a lease that my dad has. It was a long drive, but it was worth it when I arrived to a 16oz prime rib at one of my favorite restaurants, the Red Dome. Unfortunately the corn and soybeans had not yet been cut around our farm so we did not see as many deer as usual, but we still had fun and relaxed for a few days.

Tim O'Brien was right when he said “Stories can save us”. They saved him. Writing stories helped Tim turn into Timmy and also into a solider when he was retired and forty three years old. When O'Brien says “Stories can save us”: he lets us know that his stories helped him through the war, they also helped him stay psychologically relaxed after the war, and helped him create better versions of his memories as Timmy and Tim the soldier.

Everyone has a memory that they could remember vividly, whether it be the best day in their life, or a wedding. My memory, involves none of that. Instead, it involves a lot of pain.

This week has been one of hardest weeks I have had to endure since the break of Jeffery and I. I have not been able to focus on absolutely anything. My children do not notice that I am going through this pain, at least I don’t think that they have noticed. I am in church praying and hoping that God will make a way for me soon, but as of right now, I am wearing an artificial smile on my face to hind the grief I am subdued to everyday.

It has been a week since I handed in my project for English, things still do not feel the same at home, something feels as if it’s missing with Johnny and Dally went. Like a shadow has gone over our group. Nothing feels quite the same around a home, Dally seems more gentle with me almost as if I’m glass and will break, but I can see why. They try to make me feel better, and slowly my life is getting back on track, my grades are slowly climbing up, again Dally thinks I still got a good chance to get into a great university, he thinks that if I enter track next year, and do well I can even get a sports scholarship. I hope what he is saying is right. The whole group seems to be pushing me forward. Sodapop also seems happy for me, he is smiling more, but he almost seems more protective. Now that my head is clear I feel like I can see things the way they are. Because of that, they are careful around me, not wishing me to become like what I was again.

The ocean winds blows no longer violent or strong now light and simple.

( I'm just asking question i'm not making judgements or commits during all this). I could tell that he is not happy so we stopped and bought some clothes and shoes.

He went on another tirade stating that staff uses Mindful music to torture them and it make him want to punch

The sun was just above the horizon. A gentle breeze blew and I caught the strong smell of blood, followed by the faint smell of fresh paint. I felt a wave of nausea. For a second there I wished I could escape the reality. But I knew I couldn’t. I had to help but I didn’t know how. Soon, I caught the scent of Dan Russell. He was right next to me. I could feel an intense gaze. I couldn’t look at him. He morphed into his human form.

As children grow up they come face to face with a lot of responsibilities and expectations. That can both lead to success or failure. Sadly, it is the last one that makes the biggest imprint on your brain and eventually makes you snap. Children do in fact have a hard time living under the pressure from adults and their problems get seemingly dismissed most of the time. And when they do get acknowledged by adults they are not taken serious. Either that or the adults scold their children for being so reckless and irresponsible.
