The Baby Monitor Crackling As A Voice Soothed My Firstborn Child

I'm so excited,” I lie again. When will the truth ever escape my lips? I walk to Rachel's house stunned. I hear the screaming even before I put my hand on the door handle. I bolt into the mansion, frantically looking for my wife. The screaming worsens, impairing my hearing, like knives being thrown at my head. The noise is coming from upstairs. In a panic, I sprint up to our room. As soon as a come to the doorway, a pungent odor hits my nose. A turn my head to the left. There, I see Rachel. Crumpled on the bathroom floor, like a used piece of paper. Blood covers the bathroom floor, looking like a red swamp. The blue tiles are masked by the sea of red. I walk over to her tentatively. I examine the bathroom. My eardrums feel as though they are about to burst. My eyes meet the toilet. There's something in it. The white basin is white no more. Something is floating in the toilet. I realize what it is. I reach for the phone as quick as lightning. I practically punch the buttons in the phone to call the doctor. “Doctor! Doctor! You need to come to our house right now! My wife is losing blood and my baby, my baby!” I scream into the phone. The doctor attempts to calm me down, but it is no use. He will come as soon as possible. Rachel looks beaten, all of the energy and power taken out of her. I dare to cross the bathroom floor to Rachel. My tennis shoes stick to the floor like glue. I tenderly touch her. I carry her to the bath to wash her off. The

had died. They slept in a tree that night. The day after they found a horse and rode

As she creeped into the room she side stepped the glass bottles on the floor and little packets of cigarettes that were thrown about and pills and packets of sugar that were scattered by the mirror that Mom put on the floor. Why did mom eat pancakes with powdered sugar without me? Did she finish breakfast? I didn’t think we even had powdered sugar left. Did she take her medicine yet? Mommy wasn’t herself without her special medicine.

She came over to me, with this funny look on her face, like as if she didn't believe me. "What'sa matter?" she said.

this baby and I'm scared, too, and I don't want anything to happen to my baby's father,

I could feel the breeze skim through my hair as my loose shirt caught the brisk air behind me. This was my sanctuary, the feeling was bliss. I made my way home, bracing myself for the approaching argument I was about to have with my mother. That feeling of pleasure left my body as quickly as it arrived. I stepped into the front door, and closed it behind me as quietly as I could, maybe she wouldn't notice I was late home. But before I could even take the first few steps inside, I heard mum coming from the kitchen,

“Oh, next time can you please call me and tell me what you are doing.”

It was an ordinary winter day in the city of Lynn, Massachusetts. As people headed to work and school they looked forward to the adventures the weekend would bring the next day. However, not so far away, Henry Rosario and his wife, Wendy Contreras, waited anxiously in their apartment knowing that the moment that would change their lives forever was near. “As my first daughter it was very painful, scary, and anxious” (Contreras interview). After waiting for what seemed like forever, they decided to go to Salem Hospital. Once they arrived, however, they were told by the doctor that she was not was not ready to deliver yet and was sent back home. At home, Wendy paced around the living room in agony waiting for the moment to come so she could get

During the late 1800s both China and Japan were suffering from unequal treaties, poverty, civil unrest, and lack of modern technology. Both countries knew that reform was necessary in order to prevent further chaos, but the way each country approached reform varied. China’s attempts to reform were rather unsuccessful, while on the hand japans reforms succeeded in unifying the nation and undoing the unequal treaty system. The reforms that took place in both countries were very complex in nature and received both praise and condemnation from their respective peoples. The reforms goals were to both modernize the countries while at the same time keep traditional values.

I felt someone rubbing my arm softly. When I opened my eyes, I was on the couch with… Katy was snuggled up against me and held my arm in place as I tried to move it from cradling her. Oh, but the man’s deep harsh voice that now rattled my brain had me frozen in place and in pain. Katy covered most of my face being in front of me as we spooned, but I could see (who had to be her dad) on the wall size TV looking at the two of us huddled closely together.

So still clueless to what's going on I'm rushing home to check on her and I get another phone call from her . Saying we need to talk so I come

Christians devote their lives to following the example Jesus Christ left for them. In order to better be like Christ a person must come to the conclusion of who Jesus was during his time on Earth. This a term known as Christology, which is defined as, “Christology is the name given to what we believe about Christ. It includes the beliefs about his personhood, his nature, and in what way he is a Savior or mediator between humanity and the divine” (Papandrea, 12). The Christology Debate does lays out two different foundations to the question, was Christ fully human and fully God while on Earth? This debate is usually split down the middle with only two different arguments. The first stance is called the Classical View, which believes Christ was fully human and fully divine, while on Earth.

She blinked away tears. Then said, “I’m trying to get myself something to do.” “Well then I think that’s great. But leave a note for me next time, okay? Damn scared me half to death.” Claire sat next to Franklin, lit a cigarette. She started to cry. Nearly lit her hair on fire, cigarette still pinched between her fingers. Franklin wrapped his arm around her shoulders, asked what was wrong. Said he can’t do anything to help if she won’t tell him what’s got her all spun about. Said she needs to calm down so they can talk. Claire wept longer than she thought she needed to. Wondered if it was genuine, or some deep down intention to lie. Franklin asked, “What is it, Claire? What’s going on?” Claire sucked back on her runny nose, couldn’t think of anything to say, but said, “I want a baby, Frank. I want a baby so bad.” “Maybe we should try and talk to one of them baby doctors?” “Maybe.” Claire took Franklin’s hand, stood, led him into the bedroom. *** Their appointment with the specialist was set for a week from Wednesday. During the week leading up to it, Claire kept taking her pill. Kept venturing further away from Muncy every day. Kept bedding Franklin to make up for almost not coming home most days. But she started drinking up most of the beer in the house. Sick and guilty by day, drunk and horny by night, Claire got careless. Left lit cigarettes

The story of Adam and Eve is from the book Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament, and shows attributes of a myth. Adam and Eve got exiled from Eden for eating a piece of fruit off the tree of knowledge after God advised them not to. Adam and Eve were then banned from Eden and full of shame and remorse for what they have done. Also, God created the Earth with demigods living in paradise with everything in their reach. After man was created they were filled with curiosity and naivete. Adam and Eve are the protagonists in the first story of The Bible.
