Corey: A Short Story

When Remy was young his father left him with his mother. Without a father figure in his life he had to teach himself how to get tough. People would make fun of his name constantly, because it was primarily a girls name. Throughout his life his fists would grow raw and hard. When he became of age he went to his first bar. As soon as he walked in it was not as he expected it would be. There was a musky, body odor smell. One person caught his eye as he looked around. A man with a long gray beard, looking as if it hadn't been washed in 10 years. His skin was wrinkled, and looked of leather. He took a shot of his drink and muttered something to the bartender in a raspy deep voice. “How's it going stranger?” said the bartender. Remy ordered his first

Drew Sullivan was torn between his Catholic guilt and feeling free for the first time. It has been a couple of weeks since he fucked Kyle. Drew's kitchen shades were permanently closed, hence their playful peek-a-boo weekend ritual came to an abrupt stop. In Drew's mindset, temptation had been thwarted.

Both the protagonist from The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and the girl from Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway, are swayed by their partners depreciation/simplification of their problems. Also, they take their partner's advice for their future and become even more confined. However, in their confinement they have a moment of realization in which they see the root of their problems – their relationships. In The Yellow Wall-Paper, the protagonist states, “If a physician of high standing, and one's own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression – a slight hysterical tendency-- what is one to do?”

The alarm clock blares on the tattered brown nightstand next to the bed. It is the only part of Casey Barclay’s day that is predictable. She opens her eyes and groans at the thought of what the day will hold. She hears her twins, Alexander and Abigail in the next room. They are eight, and already fighting over whose turn it is to hold the IPad, even though it’s only 6 a.m. She reaches over and turns the alarm clock off, her diamond engagement ring catches her eye as it does a little dance, sparkling in the sunlight. It is the most expensive thing in all of her house. It is also only the second thing that has given her hope in the nine years since the factory left, and it’s hard to have that after her last marriage failed so miserably. She

The big message that Chris Mckinney is trying to send the readers is that you may not have much or nothing at all, you might not be the smartest,or make the right choices or the guy to be in an honors class but what you can do is set a goal no matter what it is or what the circumstances are anything is achievable as long as you put your mind to it you can accomplish it.

He profusely apologizes to her and to show that he would never do it again, he saves her from being bit by a rabid dog. In the process the dog bit him and he fell ill. Many weeks had passed and symptoms started to show. Janie would confront him about this but he would brush it off so that she wouldn't worry and feel guilty. But because of this, the injury had gotten so bad that he was deteriorating mentally and that would slowly start to scare Janie. He felt more paranoid and because of this he started sleeping with a rifle, and accusing Janie of things she promised she would never do, like committing adultery. Because of this, he tried to kill her but she got the willpower to save her own life and shoot him instead. In that moment, she truly

It was a cold winter day with papery white snow all around me. I felt relieved because I wear white so I can blend in with the snow. Maybe no one can notice me if I crouch. I am met with a tall white building like the snow. I walked door after door of the blank hallways of limestone heights, it was an eight story building located at the outskirts of Queens. Rudolf Black lived in apartment number 809 in Limestone heights on Union street. It was noon so I didn’t see many people but I noticed there are much more asians and hispanic people than usual. Not that I’m racist or anything but it feels very unnatural, like everything is wrong, kinda like a parallel universe. After several minutes I see a door, it is dark gray gun metal like all the other

The strangest things happened to Cassie St. Clair. Wherever she went, things weren't quite normal. When she was four years old, the building where she attended day care vanished in the middle of the night. The day it disappeared was the same day that the other children made fun of her for believing that cats could talk. They made fun of her so much that it made her cry, and wish she would never have to go back to that awful place. As if by a stroke of luck, she never had to return. The disappearance of the day care center was the first strange incident to happen around her, and if it had been the last then she might not seem so strange. But the strange events followed her and her mother when they moved to Los Angeles a few months later.

Deep in the walls of Cupola lies a secret. A 200 year old magical secret. And it’s up to Anya and her friends to solve it.

“Let’s wrap things up”, Mary said. Timothy, Tracy, and Mary were all in the process of closing Wal-Mart tonight for work. Timothy was grabbing his keys to head to the door when all of suddenly the doors slammed shut and locked. Mary, Tracey and Timothy all shot each other a petrified look. Not knowing what’s going on they try to get a hold of their manager only to find out they have no signal. While trying to brainstorm on what to do they hear the intercom come on. “Let’s play a game, hide and seek last one alive wins.” They all look at each other with frightened looks. Timothy says, “Let’s try getting out of here again.” When they look at the doors again they realized someone locked it with chains from the outside. Mary says, “I know there

I could see the look in Lane’s eyes as we heard the prolonged footsteps coming up the stairs. I knew we were thinking the same thing as we hid the others. When we heard the familiar huffing and puffing of the administrative assistant we ran for cover. It seemed like it took him forever to get up the stairs. I wasn’t sure what to do as the worker asked, “Is everything ok?”

Daniel and Spencer were sitting at home gaming on Black Ops 3, they were playing against Zuley13Gaming. All of a sudden Spencer heard a vicious screech outside and a loud knock on the door. He got up, walked over to the window to investigate, he saw the evil lord Witter, and Garret fighting Witter. Spencer saw Garrett throw a punch at Witter, but Witter dodged it, and burned Garrett’s face with his fire breathing eye.

My mother tells him that my grandmother has a heart condition and he proceeds to say " I don't care, that is not my problem if something happens." We decided to call the police to see if something could be done. Sadly, they banned us from Pride Gas station and were taunted and called classless people from the projects by said security guard. After the Files were given to us, the guard decided to show most of the staff our personal information saying that he won his case. For a 19-year-old, he was disrespectful towards an elderly woman, but not only that; to everyone whom he thinks he intimidates. He's usually in the establishment but not always doing his intended job, instead, he flirts with most of the female employees or decides to just leave. He claims that he's there to serve and protect, however, he wasn't around when there was a fatal stabbing weeks prior. Since then, we have called Corporate to see what could also be done and all they say is that they'll look into it. We have given complaints about this young person a few
