“The last time I died wasn’t so bad. No, not at all. I was warm, in my bed with tea, surrounded by people that knew me and loved me. I was wealthy, that’s always a good thing. I just sort of…slipped away.” Brian was fairly certain he had already gone over all of this with Dr. Kurtz, more than once, and all of it should have been in Brian’s regression therapy file so the irritation came through in his voice despite his trying to cover it up so as not to come off as rude. “No, tell me about the first time. The first one you remember and work your way up to the present.” Dr. Kurtz said in that voice of his that was so welcoming even outside of the hypnotist’s chair. “Well, the first time was nowhere near as comforting as the last time. The …show more content…
I was a woman then and childbirth was not as safe as it is in today’s sterile environments. I went hard that night, beside the fire with nuns beside me, but I was able to successfully bring forth the life that I was meant to before collapsing and never regaining consciousness. At least, until I was once again male. And French. Oh that was something. Paris in the 18th century was magnificent, you really ought to have seen it. Perhaps you did. For that matter, perhaps it was you who stuck the knife between my ribs and watched as I fell into the Seine, face down and floating away, changing the color of the water around …show more content…
God, was she pretty, even if she was a bit of a dunce. She was 22, brunette, small scar from a childhood accident that I think gave her face character but she hated it, abhorred it, even. Either way, 22 was the last year she would see. When some landlord threw her and her family out of the cottage in which they were living, she went to beg for work from people in town. There she found only that human beings care very little for their neighbors whilst pretending to be good Christians. One of the men at the tavern where she offered to wait tables…well, let’s just say he got a little too friendly in a very unwelcoming way. Finding herself with child, unwed, and homeless, this beauty with the small scar, formerly with plenty of dignity, snuck in to the tavern where she begged for work, went to the room upstairs, and hanged herself. “When we got to that one, Dr. Kurtz, my throat was sore for a week and there wasn’t enough water in the universe to quench my thirst. Poor, girl. You know, it’s hard enough living in this world with some of the people around us, but to remember the cruelty and injustices of centuries past with such clarity, it kind of brings it all home, I must
I watched an episode of “The First 48” were there was a murder that happened in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Atlanta Georgia. The title of the episode is “Bloody Valentine/Storm Warning.” The suspect in the first story was the ex-boyfriend who shot the father of his ex-girlfriend’s son due to jealousy and anger. The first suspect had multiple arrests for assault and domestic violence. The ex-girlfriend broke up with the suspect because of domestic violence and she told him that her ex was over to spend the night with his son and this is what caused the suspect to come over to her house and eventually committed the murder. The second suspect murdered a rival gang member because he heard rumors that his gang was going to rob him. The suspect shot at the
Throughout the conversation, Susan did not inform me that the home was still in First Look and not open to investors at this time. Susan did not highlight any features of the home, nor did she talk about the neighborhood or the surrounding area. When asked, Susan paused to reference the property file and stated, "In looking at the pictures it appears that it needs interior paint, carpet, appliances, and a few windows, which the previous seller must have taken." She stated, "I don't know why they have to remove things from the homes." I asked, "Do you have offers?" She paused to check the property file and answered, "No offers." I asked, "Is the property behind the home farmland?" She paused to reference the property file and replied, "It appears
In 2025, I will be twenty-nine years old and hopefully married. I will be married to my significant other of ten years Earnest Palmer III, who is a dentist. I would have been recently graduating with a bachelor’s in Culinary Arts and trying to plan to open my own restaurant, BubbaD’s Eateries. Knowing my big headed husband of mine, I probably had a baby then and trying to have another baby. Hopefully, by then Earnest will get rid of the idea naming our son, King. We will be living in the suburbs near New York City but working in the city. Being a woman with great memory, I probably wrote a memoir about my crazy life and trying to sell it to a publisher. If none of the publishers wants to publish my memoir, I will probably sell it the Lifetime
On February 27th, a plane heading to San Jose with five people on it suddenly crashed in southern California. The two houses it landed on immediately erupted into flames because of the jet fuel. Luckily, no one was in those houses, however three out of the five were killed on the plane, while the survivors just had injuries. The people on the plane had consisted of a husband, wife and three teenagers going home from a cheerleading competition at Disneyland Adventure Park. The competition is suspected to be the Jr. USA Nationals, but unfortunately will not be a celebration to them anymore. The names of the people have not been released at this moment. Many bystanders of the crash have taken to social media to share the horror of what has happened. Undoubtedly, the passengers will never be the same again.
I never thought I would be labeled an outsider, a misfit even. As I trudged my way through the halls of my small town high school, I would endure the gazing pairs of eyes, that belonged to my peers, followed by whispering and often times some laughter. I always used zone out during those repetitive speeches and commercials about the effects of gossiping and rumors; never did I imagine that one day I would be on the receiving end of of the everyday potshot. Growing up I was always the center of attention, the one everyone yearned to be friends with, never was I the antisocial child in the corner with nowhere to turn… not until high school. They say high school changes you. They say high school accounts for some of the greatest years of
I’ve always been an outsider, it’s been hard for me to build friendships and relationships. Not too long ago, there I sat in the corner of the room in the way back, trying to hide from the world, and be myself. I didn’t really want to get involved with anything or anyone. I was afraid to open up, talk to others, maybe because I was afraid to get rejected. Until, I met the best people I could ever meet, my best friends Marisa Mendoza, Jessica Contreras and Deseray Reyes, the ones who up to this day have sticked by my side, at my best, and worst moments. They have all been a big part of my life, I can enjoy every minute I spend with them. For me, they aren’t only my friends they are like my sisters.
Today, he wasn’t disorientated from the sensory deprivation instead he was refreshed and bright-eyed, but he needed to fool the Doctor, to fool all of them. They couldn’t know the extent of which he could exert his powers. He lowered his eyes as he relaxed, making his muscles appear heavy.
Week one has passed by quickly! I think this week was very successful and I can say that I have learned many new things. This week has been an experience for me learning things about the business world. I am not a business major so I was not expecting to take these classes. I was assigned them, but have found them very beneficial. As I read through the first couple of chapters I read things I had heard before. This was a good thing that I could put the information with the terms I had heard previously.
“That’s all you have to say? That it was good? It wasn’t hard to leave your family behind? To have us think you were dead. To leave me, blind, with a drunk and a father who hid from his family?”
life is stupidly hard sometimes, and only made harder when we pass 18 and have to make our own significant choices. It used to be that society and our parents shaped our futures and even pushed us in the direction they wanted us to succeed in, however hard I tried though I always fell short of my parents expectations. I didnt believe people could change and that neither of my parents would change their way of thinking and that I would never be able to change what I was, but people can change and I know that now.They wanted me to go to college and develop myself in a successful career insted I ran from what my parents wanted, got emancipated and married at 16 and then divorced at 21.
My first source is, “bmj.com.” It is an article, about a surrogate mother who lost her baby and how the parents came in contact with her. It also explains how she went to court because of losing the baby. My second source is People Magazine. The magazine tells a story of a mother who was a surrogate for her daughter's child. The mother was very supportive of the idea of a surrogate mother Sherri Dickson, told People Magazine, “‘I decided that if they needed somebody to carry their child, I would volunteer’” (qtd in Coder
The vigorous teamwork played a vital role during the whole process of making Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. “The crew of Snow White was massive, especially for the times. It included 32 animators, 107 assistants, 20 layout artists, 65 effects animators, and 158 female inkers and painters. Two million illustrations were made, using 1,500 shades of paint” (Cellania). Walt hired some women painters to try how to make Snow White look like more spontaneous.
My first paper was a descriptive paper where I had to describe a person close to me I chose my mother. The way I described my mother from the way she looked to the way other people look at her, works for my whole paper and you can’t see it all through the paper. My paper does fall short because my font size and grammar made my essay bad. I didn’t fully spell out words and used a lot of slang words instead of proper grammar. When me and my mother were at the beach and we watched the sunset, I made the reader really feel like they were there watching the sunset. “The sunset change into 3 different colors, tangy orange, fiery red and mellow yellow.” If I didn’t write the paper and I had to read the paper I would’ve imagined I was there at the
Nina stood. “You saved us, Tobais. A general’s choice is never between what it right and what is wrong. Someone always has to die in war. You can only hope it’s more of them than us.” She gave me an approving smile. “You did good, Tobias. Whether you like the job or not, you made the best choice.” She removed everything from the tray and held it to her chest. “So don’t beat yourself up about it. It can’t be changed, and you better not even think about wishing you could. We’d be dead. You would be dead. Well, maybe,” she said with a shrug. “You’re good at not dying for some reason.”
My most significant experience in my life is unforgettable. I was there with my sisters, my mom, and my dad. It was the most horrifying event that I have ever witnessed. The daunting image in my head is still clear as day, as though it happened yesterday. This event did not affect only me, but also my family. The story that I am about to tell you may change the way you see things and it may not. All I can say is, it
