Three years on and a nightmare is still my reality; I’m haunted by her battered form and unseeing eyes whenever I close mine. - The thin cylinder brushed past my cracked lips, and I let my eyes flutter shut as I dragged the smoke into my body, letting it collect my anxiety, before exhaling my stress out into the open air in a white, spiralling cloud. Despite all the empty coffee mugs in my office, it always failed to surpass the nicotine. My eyes opened; I felt the heat of my cigarette make my insides flush and buzz all at once. Lazily, I scanned the area from the balcony I stood on, colossal buildings seeming insignificant beneath me. My gaze travelled to the nearly empty packet in my hand; “Davidoff Lights” it read, along with the warning. …show more content…
Smiling gently, the date on my calendar was circled in red marker. Our anniversary was today. Taking the time to zone out whilst continuing to stare at the date, I thought about how much my life had changed. Nature had become a favourite; watching the leaves go from beer-bottle green, burning up into the colours of fire and eventually descending to the ground holds levels of magic for the eyes. Some leaves were as red as that marker, which was now grey. It was grey. It had turned grey. It wasn’t meant to be grey. My heart stopped and my breathing froze, chills covered my body like a second skin. Cold sweat started to pour as I snatched my phone up and dialled her number. My fingers tapped impatiently in time with the blood pumping furiously around my veins, and I moved at super-human speed when there was no answer. Heading to the door I glanced at the photo again, only to pull my eyes away upon seeing our faces fading into a greyscale piece of the past. …show more content…
Every day I expect her to walk through the door, or come home to smell her cooking, or have her crawl in next to me and our combined body heat would make the bed toasty. No, the only heat I feel is the one coming from my Davidoff Lights. The only smell is the one of cigarettes and alcohol. Working like a team to numb my mind, they go perfectly together, just like we did. I looked in the mirror from where I sat; no colour was needed to see that the dark circles under my eyes were almost as black as the bruises that had burned themselves onto her pale skin. I miss her. The only one to miss me would be the empty bottles of alcohol. If fate is cruel enough to take someone so precious and perfect, surely it would have no problem taking the likes of
I suddenly feel dizzy and sick, and the lighting in the entire room becomes much darker. Everything feels twisted, as if we’ve gone back in time. She’s no longer smiling, and I’m looking at her t-shirt again, although I don’t remember breaking eye contact.
I remember him saying ‘Racquet back, turn sideways, step in when you hit the ball’ my dad said, I remembered those three fundamentals forever. Hi there, I'm Christine Marie Evert, most people know me as Chris Evert. When I was a child my 4 siblings helped me become who I am today and that's why I'm such a world wide known professional tennis player. But most of all it was my two parents, Jimmy and Colette, that made me who I am today. My parents also taught me how to raise kids of my own, which I had 3 children in fact. You're probably wondering how old I am, well right now I'm 63. I always loved Christmas and my birthday because I got a lot of presents because they were so close to each other as a matter of fact 13 days apart. I started
When I walked into her room the vibe felt like a punch in the face, it was just awful. The vibe was like a thick fog, clouding up the room with pain and sickness, altering reality. With every step into the room I took the room got darker and greyer. When I saw her, I knew that death was coming for her. She had gone from the beautiful green-eyed blonde I knew to a
First of all I was in my dark room with the only light being my t.v, I playing Xbox with my friend Skylar, we were playing Rainbow Six Siege a counter terrorism shooter. It was a late on a dark, stormy night, it was bomb objective and only I was left on the team to face five other enemies defusing the bomb and I slowly and stealthy with his silenced pistol picked off about two enemies outside the objective roaming and then pulled out his primary the 416-C Assault Rifle and went in blazing in the objective and his heart was racing he picked off another two enemies and that’s when he began guarding the defuser waiting to find the last enemy. “Can you search cams Skylar?” I asked Skylar.

He is timid and very intelligent boy as bravo's death come uninvited and unexpected and made my life miserable. As bravo was so adorable playful, energetic and above all my best
There are millions of people in the military and I have always been fascinated by the concept of it. The interesting part was never the war, they were intriguing, but there is too much death involved. I am fascinated by the concept of being a part of something bigger than you in addition to being one big family fighting for the same thing. I believe it all started with the two thousand one movie Pearl Harbor, no matter what they were facing in their personal life they all worked together. I never really knew anyone involved in the military, but that all changed when my oldest brother joined The United States Air Force.
I send my mom a quick text to let her know where I am going, and we are off in five cars lined up like a Mardi Gras parade. I have a bad feeling about this. I have never been to Micah’s grandmother’s house, and I am totally alone in the last car. If I lose them at a turn or a light, I might never find my way, but I have no other choice but to drive myself because of my early curfew. My friend, Ben, is in the car in front of me, and I am staying close behind him, so I don’t get lost.
Ella Wood. That’s who I am just Ella Wood a 16 year old girl who never really had much going on and who not many people knew. At least that’s what I had thought a few hours ago when my name wasn’t on the news and pretty much every other place that you could think of. You may be confused as to what I’m talking to you about, so let me tell you a story. Let me warn you though this is not just any story, but my story. First of all let me introduce myself a bit better. I live in a town that’s kind of big and called Blackview. I love to make music it’s one of my special talents and I could also dance. I have an older brother named Tyler. I also have a twin brother named Ethan we’re practically inseparable. We’ve done a lot of things together and
He was wearing a pair of tattered old jeans, almost like overalls and a torn plaid red jacket, his work boots were thick and covered in a mix of blood, dirt and broken glass. I immediately recognized him as Brian Phillips, an elderly German man who worked in the slaughterhouse a little ways outside of town. The look on his face was of pure sheer terror and he stammered out an uncontrollable mix of German and English in a furious fright. Richard raised his hands as he tried to calm Brian down and eventually, he was able to begin from the beginning.
First of all I just want to say, no judging, oh and I know what you are thinking, it’s, just get to the point! Isn’t it, well too bad, because I might be talking about, let’s say, dogs eating tacos, and suddenly tell you a story about the one time my cousin made the best taco I had ever tasted, just like that, anyway, here we go. I was getting ready to start my normal day, in my normal job, as a normal 11 year old kid, in a not so normal school, then again, no school really has anything “normal” about it.
The storyline is cute, but the writing needs work-a lot of work. Some of the sentences just did not make sense, punctuation was missing, grammar was lacking and simple misspellings made reading this book cringe worthy.
She moved in colour, even after she died. When everyone else was living in black and white, under grey skies, she had bright red hair and rosy cheeks. Her blue-eyed gaze still makes me feel exposed, even now. I haven't seen her for weeks, but it seems that I’m still trying to stay afloat in the ever-crashing waves that emit from her intimate glance.
It wasn’t supposed to happen. She’s going to hate me, but it doesn’t matter anyway because tonight’s my special night. The night in which I cease to exist. I tried to come up with an unconventional way to “end it,” but the ones I did come up with took way too much effort, such as sleep deprivation, which would take eleven days in total and would be totally noticeable because I’d start to hallucinate and crap like that. Before chasing down the last pill in the bottle with a bottle of questionable alcohol I found on top of the fridge, I raised my glass.
My arms shook as they caved under the heavy box I carried. I felt sweat streaming down my face, my hair stuck to my skin in clumps. Moving is never fun. Especially when you move to the tenth floor of a building that has no elevator.
