Personal Narrative: Hallucination

I come across a rear projection TV on the side of the road one day, load it up, and take it home. I eagerly spend a good four hours stripping it down and saving as much as I can. I end up with a 48” fresnel lens, two hefty speakers, a couple large capacitors, three glass lenses, and a glass mirror. Left over is a box of electronic waste and the particle board skeleton of a TV. I take the electronics to my local electronics recycling center, and set the wooden frame on the curb. I took 70 lbs. of trash and turned it into 10 lbs. of treasure ripe for projects, 30 lbs. of recyclables that would have gone to a landfill, and 30 lbs. of refuse that I had fun

“Everybody! We must evacuate the city! The Americans will attack the city soon. Leave all your belongings behind, the Organisation will take care of them. Follow the soldiers.”

“Calm down Sam, save that fire for the war, right now we have some work to do.” John said.

As we close out the 43rd game of the season, the Phillies drop to 15-28. As the pitching woes continue, it's tough to look on the bright side. It's understandable for the fans to be anxious, but it's all apart of the rebuild. I'm here to tell you to R-E-L-A-X. The team is still incredibly young and in the process of getting back to October. Maikel Franco is struggling a bit at the plate. Picking up the slack in the lineup is Tommy Joseph, who has been on absolute tear through the month of May. Cesar Hernandez has cooled off a bit but still playing some good ball. What can't I say about Aaron Altherr? He's everything you can ask for right now and then some. One thing you can look forward to is one of the most exciting

The stone was cold and I could feel the pain swelling up inside. I took a step towards the edge, I thought to myself, “One more step and the worries would end…” if only it was that easy.

“I know what he did!” she snaps- “ I was there- but you weren’t Koga. What he did was horrible- I understand that- but by storming into his base -firing guns and throwing knifes will not solve anything! Innocent people are going to die!”

"We're planning an assault tomorrow, and we need one more unit. I'll understand if you refuse, but we might find some answers there. Answers that I think we all want."

“It’s not what we want it’s what we need, and what we need is the very best of you. The world is in danger of an imminent threat from a military force that’s developing in Dynistan.”

“I think I may have come up with a plan to help with our civilian security problems. Can you get him in here ASAP please?”

“Let's get out of here, we won't do our cause any good if get captured or killed,” Derek said.

“I honestly can’t answer that.” said Lt. Scott. “We only follow orders. But I think there will be people coming in that convoy that may be able to help. Also, anyone right now need any medical help? Doc can look at them but we have to be going.”

My answer is, bring ‘em on. We got the force necessary to deal with the security situation.”

Whoosh!!! The faint sound of the arrow locked onto its kamikaze mission as it flew towards its unsuspecting target. Shhhhunk! The razor tip had found its mark! First was the soft skin, then the delicate rib meat. The lungs and top of the heart provided no resistance as the arrow followed its flight into the frosty ground. Intrigued yet?

“When will we start? If my kids are in danger then we need to hurry!”

“Don’t take my answer of ‘no’ as a coward’s response, but I’m trying to make it back home to my family. Up until this point, we’ve only been gassed. We’re still in the dark, but nothing is attacking us. I think if we tough it out, we’ll make it out of here alive. But if we go snooping in the dark, there’s no telling what we might find.”
