“I’ll smoke that last cigarette,” he said to his wife. “Stupid of me- it was the one thing I forgot to bring back from the farm.” He reached for it, switched on the silent wireless. He threw the empty packet on the fire and watched it burn while listening to the ice cold wind. He was listening closely to hear any pecking or scratching from the bird’s beaks or claws. His wife and kids lay silent on the mattress by the nice warm fire. Nat got up and started to walk around their cold house. Nat just had a feeling in his gut that everything was not going to be okay. He was worried sick. He sat there and thought, I am trying so hard for my family and I to survive, and I mean everyone that I know of around here is dead. He squinted his eyes and put his hands over his face, realizing he had many scratches and cuts on them. He slowly walked up the stairs making sure everything was okay. Everything seemed to be secure to him, but those dang hawks have brains of their own. Nat walked back down the stairs and walked into where his wife and kids were. His wife now had gotten up and was making herself some tea. Nat could see the worry in Ella’s face. He walked over and grabbed her face, looked her in the eye and said “I love you, everything will be ok. I am trying all I can. We cannot let Johnny and Jill see our fear, they will fear even more than they do now.” Ella said, “I know. I am trying my best to be strong and not let Johnny and Jill see the fear in my eyes. At least we have
“I’m gonna go after Sarah!” Luke screamed over the noise and without second thought, he took off running. My eyes went wide as he was immediately lost in the crowd of walkers.
The sounds of the birds was unpleasant, it was endless cries and screeches. As I looked around, I realized that I was just in a plane crash in the middle of the Amazon jungle. Immediately a panicking thought was in my head, Dakota, Mark, Leo, where are you!. A small voice came from the other side of the plane wreck, it was Leo and Mark, “ where’s Dakota, Mark had a horrid look on his face, “I- I don’t know I thought he was with you or something” “ look!” said Leo he’s over there, “ what where” said Mark and Trent under the that sheet of metal, they swiftly went over and pulled him out under the metal. “Hi guys you found me”, “of course we did said Leo, can you stand up through”, “yes just grab my arm”. They slowly lifted him up. “ now what? Said Mark”, Grape all the supplies we you can said Trent”. As they moved around picking anything they could use, they all dropped the items into a pile. Duct Tape, a hunting knife kit, a fire starter, little food, and a flare gun. “Come on we need to get moving, if you want to get help” said
A lady who had been up half the flight, saw out her window that there was something wrong with the plane. Then suddenly the plane started to rattle then a huge POP. Jamerson woke up, he went to go wake up his sister Kaitlyn but, the flight attendant Carrie had announced “Everyone stay in your seats and everything's gonna be okay”. Carrie had been acting all nice and pretending everything was okay, but he could see it in her eyes she was scared too. Kaitlyn had finally woken up, she heard a loud scratching noise outside her window and along the white paint on the side of the plane. She couldn't tell what it had been it had gone by so fast. Carrie had announced again with her shaky voice. “Everyone put on the masks that fly down in front of you, you need to put them on for your safety”. Everyone was panicking about whether or not they're gonna die or live. Kaitlyn thought that maybe they were landing, but she thought wrong. She looked out the window thinking, “That doesn't look like we're anywhere near the ground, and then she noticed that they had started spinning”. The captain began on the announcement “Everyone stay as calm as you can, we can only work with you if you calm”. Jamerson had said to himself over and over everything will be fine. Kaitlyn had been thinking about what she said to Jamerson earlier when they were getting settled. She wanted to go apologize, but now was not the time, she had to stay calm and be
As I fly back home from Alaska, I think of all my all my adventures I’ve had so far. I feel amazing that I finally finish and will be returning to my dogs, my home, and most importantly, my sweet wife. I missed her so much over the past two weeks, I can't wait to see her again.
I leaned over Susie’s shoulder to see that the letter was from the airport Ma and Pa had used. I slowly read it and my heart felt as if it has just ripped into a million pieces. It said, I am very sorry to report to you that Mr. and Mrs. Keller have been killed in a plane crash. I didn't know what to say or do! Why did this have to happen to our family? How are we going to be able to live with only one job to support all three of us? We had no money, no family and a very small house! That night we all took it into realization that we all were going to have to step up our game and work as hard as we can. As I was falling asleep in bed I thought to myself that we were going to need to find food somehow even if it was a
I went out the place and sat in her car. "Maybe some music will help me consume all of this." Sky clicks the radio on.
Anyway, back to Spencer. I was leaning against the wall, and then I someone ran into me. I stumbled and fell sideways, right into Spencer. For a couple seconds I couldn’t figure out what happened. All I knew was my head kinda of hurt and there was beer spilled all over my shirt. Someone held out a hand and pulled me up. That someone was Vivian. At the time, the only thing I knew about Vivian was that she scared the shit out of me. Two years prior to that day, she looked a lot like Alice, actually. Cute blonde hair, bright blue eyes, wore little dresses to school. Then she changed. She died her hair black, got a nose piercing, and I hadn’t seen her in a dress since. I hadn’t even talked to her in several years when she pulled my beer-soaked
You were walking down the street, hoodie over your head. You quickly looked at everyone on the street, picking out one. You walked to a random girl and told her to follow you, that there was something important. She quickly nodded, following you to a dark, creepy alleyway. You pulled out you're knife and smiled, looking at it. Your gloved hand slipped over her mouth, as you stabbed her in the shoulder. She tried to scream, but it was muffled. You grinned at her pain. You left her on the floor, to die and rot painfully. Suddenly, you bumped into a tall, greenish guy.
I laid back in my hospital bed as my stomach began to growl. I politely called the nurse.
I remember a time when one student and I did math together. I was in charge of a kid. This kid made it very clear to me that they thought math was ridiculous. (I’m naming this kid Jorge because I don’t want to give his name out.)
Mah brother and I wer walkin’ through the field of apple trees in the evening before the funereal—recalling this and that or that thing that had happened in this or that place, flippin’ over the memories after the fashion of the Apple family who gather again in the place where we wer all born—trying to make sense of the fillies we once wer and of the members who wer once with us.
After he sits with outside with them for a while, Blake sighs unusually loud and says “Alright, I’m ready”
Zick woke up in his bed with a start, staring at the opposite wall. He stood up grabbing the pants he wore the previous day off the floor throwing them on and grabbing a shirt and lab coat out of his closet. His stomach gurgling as he realizes he hasn’t eaten since yesterday morning. zick opens his door and walks into the hallway shutting the door behind him.
Stomping up the stairs Nia yells, “ You’re not the boss of me!” And slams her bedroom door shut. Heavily breathing Nia grasped for air. Trying to control her breathing, she places her hand on her chest. Tears ride down her face quickly like a river flow. Not knowing how to stop Nia constantly wipes her face.
“Get well soon honey, see you later!” My mom went off to work as I laid in my bed. The cramps got worse every time. Yes, I was on my period and I hated it. Why does it have to be me? Everybody was at school, so I couldn’t call anybody to hang out. I stood up and there it went, a waterfall, that’s how my mom usually calls it. When I’m on my period, I’m always hungry. Always. That’s why I went down to the kitchen, but of course there wasn’t anything ‘unhealthy’ inside the fridge. I sighed and sat on the couch in the living room. I laid down and closed my eyes for a little while. Until my phone, which was in the pocket of my sweatpants, began vibrating. Scott was calling me. We’ve been best friends for a long time. When he was bitten by a werewolf,
