She somewhat got into an argument with her good friend Siobhan about boys. Angry, she stomped off and walked into the woods. While walking, many negative thoughts raced through her mind. She could not take it anymore. Suddenly, she fell into a deep hole. After she fell into the hole, she suddenly realised that there was a skeleton next to her. She screamed loudly, calling for help.

“The dream was gone. Something had been taken from him. In a sort of panic he pushed the palms of his hands into his eyes and tried to bring up a picture of her mouth damp to his kisses and her eyes plaintive with melancholy and her freshness like new fine linen in the morning. Why, these things were no longer in the world! They had existed and they existed no longer.”

When they pulled up to Mia's house Erik walked her the door and kissed her goodbye. Mia walked into a dark as the house not being able to see anything. As she turned around she saw her mother turn on the lamp. "Mom you frightened me, Mia said." "Where have you been young lady, Sheila asked?" "I was out with dad and the others, she responded. Right then and there Mia saw something different in her mom that she never saw before. She knew that her mom was a different person than who she was

Lila lay on her bed staring at the ceiling thinking over the events of the evening. The more she recalled, the more she was mortified for acting like a love sick, slobbering idiot in front of not only the most beautiful man she’d ever met, but he was her best friends cousin of all things! Lila groaned, burying her head into her pillow. She tried to console herself by thinking she would never see him again. She could avoid him by simply not going back there. It wouldn’t be too difficult to do. She would never have the guts to venture to a club like that on her own. This is exactly the reason that Rachael had taken her there. Lila was trying to convince herself he was charming to all the ladies. He worked at a night club. Of course he would

He was checking in on her to make sure she was ok. He went to her room to check but when he walked, he didn’t find her. He went downstairs to see if she was down there and she wasn’t. He went outside and found her trying to kill herself. He took her down from hanging on the rope and took her inside. He found a knife in her pocket and was thinking that she was going to kill herself if the rope didn’t kill her. She was calming down and followed him to see where he put the knife, and she took it. When he went to sleep, she came into his room and killed while he was in the

She was forcibly drawn into the adult world without anyway of escaping it or anyone to help her, it was as if she was in her own personal hell whe n Arnold Friend showed up at her housing wanting to take her out for a ride with him (“ Where Are You Going Where Have You Been 862”). Connie was so shocked she didn’t expect reality to hit so hard. When Arnold showed up he came for the mature woman he saw last night and wasn’t leaving until her got her to go with him. He even said to her that “ I’m your lover. You don’t know what that is but you will” and “ The place where you come from ain’t there anymore, and where you had in mind to go is cancelled out (“ Where Are You Going Where Have You Been 868 and 871”). All she wanted to do at the moment was be in her parents arms but it was too late for her because the monster had came and got her .

Once given the chance, he reached over to her drink, slipping in a fine powder he had crushed before hand, into her drink. Making sure she was still turned and the bartender wasn’t looking, he stirred her drink before returning to his own, taking a sip. Watching her through hooded eyes, a very slight grin turned on his lips as she took a few drinks of her alcoholic beverage. Now all he had to do was wait it out. Once she was droggy enough from the predator drug, he would take her away from the bar to a far off place that civilization didn’t know of. Most men would rape on this particular drug, but he had other plans, wanting to keep her asleep and droggy enough to ride the bike with a stranger as well as get her to the private place with ties to a chair before the drug wore off. Everette continued to watch her every move, not wanting to get her hurt from someone else's hands besides his

What was going through his head, obviously, was not what she expected. He started to walk out the door without her help and before she knew it, he was gone out of sight. She sat down thinking he was going to come back, but as time went on, she started to feel anxious and scared and called the police after going out looking for him. The police brought him back, not knowing that in the back of the police car, he had passed away.

She stated that they got back into the vehicle and he drove her home, he did not entered the apartment. She remembered making her keys and [actually] leaving her front door unlock prior to leaving for the corner store to get the Loko [alcohol beverage].

After that a hand pops out of the sheet attempting to nail the floor in extreme anxiety, attempting to latch on the floor with prematurely grown fingernails. The second hand creeps out equally doing the same both arms fumbling about due to the slimy fluid from inside the corpse. Upon slipping the mystifying figure collapses on the side of his face and cries out in pain, “What has happened to me!” He screams. Instantly Mrs. Samsa recognizes that tone as her own, it is her son. With all fear abolished from her body she runs to help him and attempts to relieve him from his pain, both forces work chaotically against each other. Once up Gregor takes hold of the sheet in which he perished in, and with it conceals his privates. The two women stare in astonishment at one’s son and the other’s brother.

His lack of social skills becomes much more apparent once he leaves the house for the first time. He has no intended destination, and wanders the streets. Once he is hurt by the limousine, he is given an injection to ease his pain. As the doctor fills the needle, he wants to show fear, not because he has had this experience before, but because "he visualized all the TV incidents in which he had seen injections being given" (Kosinski 33). Just like the prisoners in the cave, he was trying to understand a reality based on pictures in order to react to the world around him. One thing that he has never experienced is any type of a sex life. He found himself in a room with EE, where she made a sexual advance towards him.
