Here I am, trying to complete the impossible task of putting toothpaste back into the tube, all to win this round of the youth games. Slowly, I’m making progress, though the task increasingly gets harder the closer you are to completing it. Scooping up the dark blue toothpaste, blue as the ocean, placing it on the opening of the tube, to then put your mouth to the tip of the tube, to blow it back into where it originated. Every time I go through these steps the taste of the fifty cent dollar store brand paste fills my mouth. With my taste buds instantly telling me to spit it out, though I keep the sandy mint paste with the goal to win this competition. Looking down on the paper plate holding the toothpaste, I sigh, my conscious urging me to give up on this task. Starting to stall I look around the worn down kitchen. Studying the paint peeling off the wall, studying every unique crack. Transitioning to then the tan colored tiles, with dirt stains from years of dirt being dragged in. Suddenly I hear loud commotion coming from the room beside me. Walking over to a room much too small for the amount of people in it. Also being stuffed by dingy, outdated, futons and couches, appearing as if they got picked up from off the street. All eyes are on one man standing in the middle of the room, holding a tube of toothpaste which was identical to mine. The man is wearing a light blue jumpsuit, covered in patches and stitching showing the many hours put into work. This was
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 awoke to the sound of beeping, my eyes needed to adjust to the light of the pristine white walls. I heard shuffling of clothing to my left, I slowly turned my head to see a man with
I woke startled, dazed and confused basically drowning in my own sweat. Where on earth am I. I got up and spun around and all I could see was four blank walls that seemed like they were closing in on me. The only thing that stood out was a lone door placed right in the middle of one of the walls. Without even thinking about it, I started to carefully creep forward towards the door, but as I did this I could hear movement on the other side and the door began to open. I was lightning quick to react and rushed up to the wall right beside the door and nervously watched as a large figure began to enter the dimly lit room. He looked around and noticed the empty space and shouted out in surprise, but I was quick and without a second thought grabbed him and slammed his head against the wall, knocking him out cold.
My name was called eighth and my hands trembled as I walked into the cramped room. The floor and walls were covered in light blue tile and there was a slight scent of filth and dirt, but it was concealed by the overwhelming smell of bleach. Standing in front of me was an average looking petite woman with greying brown hair in a lab coat and two hairy, burly men in light blue doctor’s scrubs, they all looked menacing, which did not help with my concerns and in that moment I knew my fears were justified.
The sky was still unexposed to the sun. Different scenarios of how work would go played in my head. There were two sides. One, I was hated by every single employee in existence or two, loved to the uttermost capacity. Either one of the things would occur with a five percent chance. The most obvious scenario was the typical Grid workplace. Get introduced to people and never speak to them again unless work related. Still caught up in another net of imagination, an ear-piercing sound emerged from the right of me. Through the glass wall was that supposedly rude girl from yesterday. She was smiling ear to ear in my direction. I turned around. The house to my left was vacant. I looked up, the announcements have started. I looked back at her, she was staring right at me. To confirm I pointed to myself in confusion and walked backward. She nodded violently and motioned me to get closer to speak to me. In slow and unsteady steps I inched my way towards the horrifying girl on the other side of the glass. What had happened to her overnight? It was like some strange phantom creature possessed
I awake in a strange white room with nothing but a bed and a desk in the whole room. I hear the door open and a large white man walks through into the
I woke up from a loud Bang! I did not know what it was. I walked out of the security footage room. To see that there was a trail of something on the floor, splattered on the wall. I tried to act like I was not tired, so Mr. Body would not know. I did not want to make any assumptions about what that stuff was on the floor, it might frighten people. So I tried to wake myself up. I failed I was still tired. I walked through the hall pass the ballroom. The trail I have been following leads to the conservatory. I was frightened at what I might see. I went over and cracked the door. I saw something I would never see again. I saw Mr. Body lies there dead! He was just there before I took a nap! Oh my god! I am so getting fired. So I went back to the room, I saw a woman she shot him she...she killed
I just went in for a cleaning, all I wanted was for my dentist to check for any cavities and tell me everything was in perfect condition. I don’t understand how I managed to wake up in the middle of a siege. The last thing I remember was Dr. Goldstein saying to me “Well Andre, it looks like you have a few cavities, I’m going to use some anaesthesia, just in case you don't respond to the pain medication again. Is that alright?” I did feel unsure about his decision, I couldn't understand why I would need anaesthesia during a cleaning, but I let him do his job. Dizziness soon followed, before I woke up in a gloomy room with the door barricaded. The only light in the room was coming from a TV showing the news. As I got off the dental chair, I asked Mr Goldstein “What happened here? Why is the door barricaded with furniture?”
When one uses Crest toothpaste it could help avoid the feasible need of expensive treatment in the future. The advertisement features a pair of dice that are shaped similar to teeth. If we look at the dice as if they were teeth, the black dots could represent cavities that can occur. The teeth are also not in gums which can also represent what could happen if one does not use this advertised product, then one’s teeth could fall out. The advertisement says, “there are some things you just can’t afford to gamble with.” This refers to the health of teeth, and whether or not one is willing to take necessary care for
Someone wearing a radiation suit came toward me and just stood there in front of me talking down notes and talking some weird language I have never heard before. He then started walking away and I jumped up and started calling to him but he didn’t respond to me. An hour later I remembered the tools that Carlos left in the cell next to mine when he was fixing it last time we had a leak.
It was 4:30 am and my chicken alarm woke me up for my dentist appointment. I didn’t want to get up, but I knew I had to because in just 30 short minutes, I would need to be leaving for my appointment at 8. Yes, do the math. I have to leave three hours before my appointment. Why? Well because my family has no money, so I have to walk. I crawl to the bathroom on the other side of the hall and hear a BANG, BANG, BANG! There are just seconds between the shots. Being half asleep, this sound wakes me up. I think of all of the possibilities as to what it could have been, but then I realize it is probably just the neighbor shooting his gun to prove a point to his wife, which is quite normal I have found to be true. The rest of the time getting ready seems to go fast. By the time I get done brushing my hair and my teeth, it is already 4:58 am. I rush down stairs and put on my tennis shoes. I have a long hike ahead of me.

We emerged into a large meeting room that was brightly lit. There were a few people sitting near the head of the large table in the middle of the room. The second we stepped into the room, they stopped their discussion and stared at us with piercing gazes. They started walking towards us with stony faces and tense postures. The man leading the group stopped a few meters in front of us and inspected us. Then in a booming voice, he called for reinforcements. Three men entered the room casually. They looked around the room and tensed up when they saw us. They started moving towards us at an alarmingly fast pace. We were frozen on the spot and couldn’t do anything except look at each other. The men grabbed our hands and handcuffed them together before dragging us to the group of people and dropping us at their feet. We
