Beautiful Girl Ding dong! The bell rang a couple of times. I got up from bed. After the third time, I went downstairs and peeked through the small hole on the door. There was a man in a gray suit and a package resting on the ground. I opened the door and felt that I had a wild look. He did not even look up and he handed me the clipboard. He muttered about being late to his next route. I took the package from him and he finally looked up at me. When he saw me, he stared at me for quite a while. It was very awkward. I handed him the clipboard and he continued to stare at me. It was getting very creepy. I closed the door and went to my room. I looked through the bedroom to find him walking down the narrow path lined with flowers. He greeted a person wearing a fedora and a long tan coat. I caught the person’s face when he looked up at the window. My heart missed a beat as I thought about him seeing me. I thought he could see, but realized that he could not. My heart was beating faster than before. The mysterious person went to the left and the deliveryman went to the right. I closed the blinds and opened the package. I was excited when I saw the teal notebook that I have been trying to look for. It is teal and made out of leather. It is an expensive notebook. My friend had one and she noticed how much I loved journaling. She showed me where to buy it, but they decided to sell it online only. I had the frustrations trying to find the notebook. I finally got the notebook. I
I covered my mouth to keep it shut and not say anything. He was wearing black boots and black pants. I could see him running towards the open window in a hurry. Maybe he thought i jumped out or something. He began to run towards the stairs. “He’s leaving” i whispered… But there was no answer, I realized that the call was cut. The man was stepping down the stairs… when all of a sudden there was a loud ringtone coming from my hand. There was then a panic in my heart. The man rushed back into my room and entered, There was a moment of silence when all i could see was the man’s black boots staring straight at my eyes. When suddenly there was a powerful pull dragging me out of the bed. Closing my eyes all i could feel is was extrucenary pain all over my body, every second. I reached out for anything near by so I could at least fight. I felt something from the tip of my fingers. I got a grip of something and swung as hard as I could, I hit him hard. The man fell back. I opened my eyes and there he was, Lying on the ground. Weak and hurt i got up and slowly started walking out of my room and down the stairs. My whole body hurt it was hard to move. I heard the man start to get up, I was terrified. I decided to walk to the basement door to try and hide. I remembered the small door that was in the basement. And went gently to open the door. Weak and in pain I was able to get down the old sketchy stairs and move some boxes to open the door. I opened the door. On the other side was a little room. It was dark and had a little bit of light coming from the outside. Maybe the moon light from the outside. I sat on the small corner of the room.I wrapped my arms around my body to try and stay warm. It was quiet for a second. Until I heard the basement door slam open. The man's foot steps were loud and you could tell he wasn't very happy. I could easily read exactly where he was. He was looking for me,
I noticed that my window had been open, though I know I had closed it. It must have been my mom or dad who opened it for fresh air for me. I went to close my window when I felt the strange feeling that someone was watching me. I just brushed it off as just nothing and went back to bed. That’s when I heard like someone was breathing inside my closet. I sat up to see what it was, and almost had a heart attack. There staring back at me were two dark devilish-like eyes that never blinked. Then a large smile appeared from his face.
He was sitting in a chair on his porch watching his farm. The farm contained corn, wheat, and carrots, and i was awfully hungry. The last time i ate was on the train. I know this because i had packed some carrots and bread in my luggage, but now my luggage is gone. I had to find a way to befriend this man. I knew exactly what i had to do. I tapped the dog on the forehead and again and again. He finally bit my arm softly, but enough to make it bleed. I kissed him on the forehead and took off to the farm. I ran onto the porch only to find the dog had followed me to the plantation. The farmer stood up and noticed me holding my arm. He examined me and suspiciously invited me to come in. I entered the house and a wave of terror flooded over
It was a cold stormy night. The house was still. I was lying in bed when I heard a series of knocks at the door. As I descended the stairs the knocks were getting louder and louder. I thought to myself, "Who could be at the door this late at night?" When I opened the door there was a tall man dressed all in black. He smelled of fish and looked like he just walked out of a mud pit. He was having car troubles and needed to use the phone. I invited him in and told him that the phone was down the hall in the living room. Instead of calling the tow truck he called his friend, George, to come pick him up. I invited him to have a cup of coffee and some cookies while he waited for his friend to pick him up. We talked for about an hour when there
He couldn’t have been a day older than twenty. He had on blue jeans, white shirt, and wore a face of a man in despair. The young man asked for a room as I was looking him in the eyes, trying to figure him out. He did not seem of the murderous type, just looked sad, but you never know. For that reason I did not say much. I nodded and he knew I said yes. I showed him to his cabin, and handed him the key, he then smiled at me. It was one of the strangest smiles, it was awkward. It was the first time someone smiled at me and I wished they
“Elle! Elle!” I yell as I sprint down the sidewalk of our neighborhood. My long dark brown hair flowing behind me. “They are adding a track team to our school and the tryouts are next Monday!”I tell her once I finally catch up. I have wanted to be on a track team for as long as I can remember.
Awe. Light is not beautiful without darkness. My Dad and I stepped outside the cabin into the wee hours of a crisp autumn morning. We were to prepare for a fishing derby that would begin at sunrise and walked down a dark gravel road toward the docks. Already tired to begin with, the freezing mountain air made me even more tired which made be even more cold. The wind blew the terrible odor of a dumpster our way which made the walk even more unbearable. Then, something caught my eye. Through the almost bear trees above me, I saw a canopy filled with stars glimmering through. I found myself face to face with the universe in a cosmic desert, each star a grain of sand.
I bolted across the hall to the kitchen and got inside one of the corners and covered my self up with an old, dirty, but convenient board hoping he wouldn't see me. I heard foot steps, very soft foot steps. The thing said in his voice, "Where did you go? I'm not gonna hurt you. I just want to play." I held my breath and didn't say a word. "I know your in here." he said, "I'm gonna get you!" At that point I passed out.
The room was filled with people, yet he was the only face I could see. We had only talked for a few minutes when he told me he got us tickets for the Lunts. I was so thrilled to see the show, I had planned to go for ages. He hurried me outside to go catch a cab. Fortunately, one arrived fairly quickly. Once we entered the cab I stared outside my window for a while. I couldn’t get myself to turn and look at him. My legs were twitching with nervousness. A few minutes passed then I felt him slowly move closer. He gave me this sort of bizarre yet lovely glare, then he put his hand on my chin and pulled me towards him. I quickly gave his hand a light slap and pulled my head back, slamming it into the
Laying in bed, Meg wonders if the hurricane will miss them, hoping it will miss them. Picturing herself flying out of the attic, she imagines it will be like The Wizard of Oz, except she wouldn’t be going to Oz, she will be trapped in a wild hurricane, in her rickety, beat-up bed. Meg’s mind keeps wondering as she waits for the first noise of the hurricane.
Directly after entering the store, a strange man complemented our work shirts. This set off a strange feeling knowing that we were wearing these yellow, plain T-shirts. We continued walking and went towards the makeup section, the section where I spend all my money. When turning down the first aisle, I managed to make weird eye contact with this man that had on a Denny’s uniform and had several tattoos. I never thought anything about it until I seen him again shortly after leaving the makeup section. I informed Kayleigh about the man and that he was still behind us. Trying to ignore it, we went to the grocery side because who doesn’t love buying snacks to stash at work. We went straight to the chip aisle first to grab some Cheetos. As we began to leave this aisle, Kayleigh pointed out that he was walking past which made me want to leave right then. By this point I was starting to feel as if I was petrified. Why would this man be following us around the store and not be saying anything?
He looked amazingly creepy. I ran to my little brother and jumped onto the couch beside him. “So we all rummaged about in our bags for our flashlights, and when we turned them on, there was a black cat staring straight at us, with red, glowing eyes.” The boys all gasped. “We jumped but didn’t make any noise for fear of someone hearing us. We started to go up the stairs but decided to make sure we all stayed together in case of an emergency. We started to tiptoe through the house and look into all of the rooms. Suddenly, a door opened behind us, and a tall, toothpick looking man came out and had a round white face, two dots for a nose, and a thin smile, like the one you would see on the face of a murderer behind his next victim, waiting to strike.
I see her. My beautiful wife. Her stunning smile plastered on her face, her eyes turning soft as they meet my gaze. I felt a smile appear on my face as warmth spread all over my body. “Hullo darling” she speaks in her angelic voice, “Hullo darling” I reply as she takes my coat. She acted as if she was all a man could ask for. Except for the fact that she was using me. Her sister had told me days prior, she was only using me for my money. She felt no love for me, the only love she had was for the money and attention I gave her. I wouldn’t call myself rich, I would describe myself more as generous. I dedicated half of my paycheck to her. I got her new shoes every month, any clothing items she wanted and perfumes that were definitely too much. I used to enjoy doing it. When I brought her gifts, she would smile and it would remind me of what I live for. Now that I know the truth, I feel broken. The love of my life is using me and I can’t do anything about it. She places a glass of whisky on the wooden table in front of my face. She didn’t love me. It was all I could think about. I was being used for what I had to offer, not for what I was. Anger seeped into my veins. And after all this, she still has the audacity to speak to me.
Across the hall, I could see my closet and I thought why not just see what dress I’ll wear when I do go? Out of my closet, I pulled out a gorgeous burgundy dress and slipped it over my head. As I stared in the mirror, I made the conscious decision and go check it out. As I parked my car and began walking over to the new club, I felt fierce and unstoppable with undeniable confidence. After I passed the bouncers at the door, I instantly made eye contact with him. He was standing across the dance floor and lights flashed rapidly in between us. I held the eye contact til I got to the bar and ordered a drink for myself. A gently touch on my shoulder assured me I was in the right place at the right time. He introduced himself and I had butterflies just speaking with him. As I glanced around the crowded room, I made startling eye contact with a girl I knew was staring at me with determination. Ignoring my gut feeling that something was up, I continued conversation with the guy. As we began to dance I knew I needed to leave because it was already 3 a.m. I slowly slipped out of the crowd to see an exit door near the bathrooms. I opened the door and there was a dimly lit alley way so I began to walk towards the opening to go find my car. I heard car tires so I turned around to suddenly see a familiar face but with a different expression. In the moment, my feet became bricks and my legs wouldn’t move, startled in fear. Within a matter of seconds,
“What the fuck you attackin’ us for?” Zion shouts at a girl lying on the ground, grasping onto her bullet wound on her shoulder. The, no longer, mysterious figure wasn’t mysterious to Zion. Zion knew her from hanging out with her everyday. She would follow, think, and talk about her almost all the time at school and at home. Of course, because she was a girl she loved.
