Chapter Four In dreams I visited the scene of the crash. Marcus, dead, roses lying around his face. Handsome, even in death, but with cold, harsh edges. Much like his father — Grey was a fitting last name for him. The roses blossomed fiercely around his head. Thorns sprouted. Bad blood, old blood — they were the same thing for their family. To the left of him lay Darien. Equally pale, the blurred edges of him were barely touching. Yet he was alive, because the universe said so. Nurses rushed back and forth, tending to Darien. Marcus lay on the passenger side, lonely and chalk white. Nobody looked directly at him, nobody but me. His neck was bent at a grotesque angle, the head sitting loosely on his shoulders. Yet still nobody dared to …show more content…
The tired woman behind the counter smiling knowingly at us behind her glasses. The past hour was something strange. I had never seen the city so clearly before — all the lights, reflecting softly on the dampened air the rain had heralded. There was a festive feeling all around us. We continued to walk on the white pavement, the reflection from the wetness illuminating our hopes and fears. Talking about everything, we were heading towards nothing. We walked close enough that our hands sometimes brushed against each other, and a small shiver would run down our arms. We did this with the naïveté of first love, never bothering to acknowledge it, other than the occasional shared smile. “You write poems?” He asked, suddenly. The change of subject startled me a little bit, but mostly because nobody bothered to ask about poems. “Um.. yeah, sort of,” I replied, a little hesitantly. I liked to write what I considered to be poems. They were like short narratives, without the usual regard for punctuation and grammar and whatnot. “May I read some of them?” Kai seemed curious, the intimacy of which I wrote these pieces unknown to him. “You have lovely handwriting.” I blushed. Did he have no shame? I shook my head without
Communication is important in our lives as it enables us to interact with one another, and allows us to form and build upon relationships with other people. However, when communication is not effective or colored by personal biases, it may lead to conflict. In the movie Crash, the characters are faced with a number of social issues, born from their inability to communicate with one another as well as their perceived notions of racial and cultural biases. Through the interactions between the characters this film allows us to understand how interpersonal communication affects individuals be it with strangers, friends, or family.
The last ride began with the team getting pumped for their last game against Youngker High School, the team bringing high spirits into this game and finally arrive at Younkers.
My spouse and i avoid your need to help make it possible for my own Tamagotchi go south. My spouse and i regard presenting that an awful, pretentious title, just like Aloysius, or maybe Elvira. It's tempting to help let the display screen audience along with turds with vengeance, to help leave that to a gradual along with putrid death. However My spouse and i check into that with bathing rooms along with underneath kitchen tables, engaging in uninteresting Tamagotchi video games even though making text messages along with WhatsApp messages unread. The item becomes my own principal accountability, around interacting along with men and women. Now i am afraid associated with squinting straight into which gray display screen one early morning along
When something happens in your life when least expected, it is not always a good thing. Three years ago I didn’t think my life could be turned upside down, but it did. I and my husband started fighting a lot, and couple months later, we lost our house, and life started going downhill from there. As soon as I thought everything was getting better, it just got three times worse. This year, I told myself I was going to make it better for my family, but then I lost my kids to CPS.
We had been walking together for a while now, for the forest had become dim and haunting; something about the moonlight made the trees appear taller and more threatening, as if a step on the wrong path would send sharp branches down unto some poor soul. The roots on the ground were alive, twisting and bending like snakes waiting for you to stop paying attention so they could pull you down into the Earth. The sounds of rustling leaves were horrific monsters who lusted after your flesh; the cold breeze came from the shadows to steal your warmth and blanket you in goosebumps. I hoped it would be this way. The moonlight perfectly illuminated Maria’s face, and on it I could easily read fear and apprehension; she could sense danger, just like all
Write a narrative about 3 people who are on a road trip only to stop off at a gas station and pick up a fourth whom they don't know
The major loss that I think of that I have suffered in the past is when my dad died when I was three. Now I don’t really remember much from when he died but I know from what people have told me that I really wasn’t sure as to what was going on and really didn’t understand that my dad wasn’t going to be coming back home. I do remember from what I was told that I would cry a lot and say where’s daddy and why isn’t he coming home. Now that it is 16 years later I feel that I have changed from the person I was then to the person I am now. I know it’s easy to say I have changed because I was three when my dad’s death happened, but I do truly believe I have. I feel that I have changed because I am now able to fully understand what death is and what
It all happened one regular afternoon on a Wednesday at Hertford County Early College. It was around 4:40 p.m. and video game club had just dismissed from Ms. Smyth’s room, everyone except for Nick and Alston. They were still waiting for their rides.
“NOPE!” I screamed. Uhg! Who in their right mind likes rollercoasters? Am I Right? The reason I got this fear is because rollercoasters went upside down, spinning, and even just going really fast. I just can’t handle rollercoasters.
The year was 2001 and I had suffered a tragic accident that left me near the loss of my life. I was four at the time and had been playing in the neighborhood with some friends when all a sudden, BAM! I was thrown to the bottom of a sewer and left unconscious. Not knowing what to do, a couple of friends who saw the act take place rushed to get my dad across the street to help retrieve me. Once my dad got to the scene he plunged down into the filth of the sewer and pulled me out of it. While I was semi-conscious from being pulled out of the hole, I had blood coming profusely out of my mouth as I began to violently throw up, little did I know, I was having seizures and did not even know what was going on around me, where I was, or if I was going to live. I had to nearly be life flighted out of the scene of I had a high chance of extreme brain damage or even death because of the high amount of blood swelling in the frontal lobe of my head. Once the paramedics finally arrived my eyes were swollen shut
Today was like all the morning having to get up with of yelling and screaming of my parents downstairs. I was tired I usually got up go downstairs and they would be quiet so that I wouldn't notice. How pathetic I thought they try so hard for me not to listen to them yelling all the time, but I can and I do hear them. When I wake up in the mornings I do, when we go to school I do, when I get picked up from school, while I do homework, we have diner, and I fall asleep with them yelling at each other. They will never change. But today was going to be different. I got ready for school got my breakfast, and waited in the car. My father got in second while my mother closed the door of the house. I put in my headphones and blasted them
If I were to be a monopoly piece I would be the race car. This is because the race car is very determined, competitive and has a fun personality. The race car is determined because in races you will always see each race car going for the crown and never giving up. This is just like me because in sports and other activities I try to never quit. Secondly, the race car is very competitive. Just like the race car I too, am very competitive. Whenever I play a game I always try to win, I just don’t really get this, “Play for fun” kind of thing. I’m always going for the gold. Lastly, I am a very fun person who loves to be active just like the race car. I always try to be in a sport every time of the year and I enjoy the sport just like a
189 people died out of 200 people who stayed in the hotel. There were only ten survivors from my school and 90 people have died. The cause of the accident was poor construction, but there was no one who took over the responsibilities. The government promised to give all the students to a choice of choosing a university and they said they will support us until we get a proper job.
A woman gasped in horror upon approaching the scene. Her green coat was tainted a murky brown as she examined the body, her hands shaking as they hastily touched the body. It was no use in trying to feel for signs of life. The young man, seemingly healthy and happy, was to be no more. Another face on a wall, another range of years spent living in the
Marc’s arms weighted their necks as Uri and Hunter carried him to the bed, and sat him down. Then, he flopped back on the mattress like a sack of coal and let out a deep gasp. Hunter left shortly after, but not before promising to return when Marc was in better health. In the hours since his departure, Uri sat at the dining table staring at Marc, laying shivering beneath the covers, pulled up to his neck. While Tabitha wrung out the rag and patted Marc’s forehead.
