The Night - Original Writing

When we got to our room we noticed the people we were with got two adjoining rooms for everyone to sleep comfortably. One of the rooms had a hot tub in the corner. My brother, two friends of ours, and I were jumping on one of the beds having fun for a few minutes, but then out of no-were my brother lost his balance and fell off the bed, hitting his head on the corner of the hot tub. We thought he was alright to begin with. He said he felt fine, but we soon realized that he needed stitches. I ran to the other room to get the parents of the friends we were with when I got there they asked me, “What’s wrong? Why are you running in here looking scared?” I told them through tears, “Blayne fell off the bed by accident and hit his head on the hot tub, I don’t think he is ok I think we need to take him to the hospital.” I was really scared and didn’t know if my brother was going to be ok or

On a summer afternoon in July 2009, my husband and I were attending a graduation party for my brother Sebastien who successfully finished High School. During the egg race, Rod received a phone call from his parents that his sister and her three children were in a car accident. At first, we were told they were fine and that they were being taken to Denver Health to be evaluated and that we would get a call later regarding what had happened. That, however, didn’t sit well with me, knowing that Denver Health is a trauma facility and that they were in an accident, I told Rod we needed to go and he agreed. Walking into the hospital was almost like something out of a television show or movie, each girl was in her own room, each with different injuries and with a million

After I woke up in the hospital, I was terrified. Everything hurt, everything came back in a rush. My brother is dead. I sit up and look around Io only see my father. "Wheres mom?" I asked quietly. He just stares off into space. I begin to panic as i ask "wheres Liz?" I still get no answer. I get up and aand fall to the ground, nurses rush over and help me back onto the bed. They told me what had happened, glass was embedded into my back and severed a muscle. It was almost fatal if they had not arrived soon enough I would have died from blood loss. I pick up my phone and call Elizabeth. It rings and rings but no one picks up. "She went missing." I hear my dad say. "What!" I try to stand agin but fall down onto the bed. "They found her but shes almost never home anymore." I almost sighed in relif. "When can I go home?" I asked. "Today, youll have to be in a wheel chair for a few days." It was time for me to go home. I had nighmares. Lizzie did too. She stopped visiting me. She was home less and less.My mom started drinking. Its all she did now. The funeral took place, it was horrible. Liz stopped coming home after that.

Gasping for air and pushing an invisible ‘something’ away from her face, Charity sat up with a start and began gulping air into her lungs. It felt as if all her breath was suddenly squished out of her lungs. It was not a scary feeling. She remembered a dark shadow hovering over her, then consuming her, momentarily, smothering her. At first, the shadow radiated love, compassion, and understanding- feelings that returned once she could breathe again.

In the morning, I woke up to a completely silent room. With a groan, I rolled over in my bed, opening my eyes to see Vic 's bed empty. He wasn 't in the dorm, so that told he must 've went out to do something before class.

Heavy rain clouds rolled over the city, blocking out the sun and casting eerie shadows across Tom’s room. Moments later, a blue-white flash of lightning split the dark sky, followed by a low rumble of thunder. The impending storm perfectly fit Tom’s melancholy mood, and turning away from the window, he placed the last of his belongings in a small carrier bag and placed it on the bed. The day after his admittance, Penhall had thoughtfully brought in clothing and toiletries, but Tom had stubbornly refused to see his friend, or anyone else, including Fuller. He was not ready to face the barrage of questions he knew they would ask, and because he hadn’t spoken to Booker since his arrival at the hospital, he had no idea

Alex had been sound asleep when she was suddenly awoken by a noise. At first, she figured it must be her neighbors across the hall having made the ruckus, presuming having dropped maybe a dish or a late-night cup of coffee on the ceramic tile floor she had known lined both of their kitchens. But then her mind quickly went to the thought of Angela and Liam. Are they home? Could it be them coming in this late? The kid must be zonked out cold.

“So let me get this straight, you’re going to find a legendary ring, slay a dragon, then marry a princess?” My friend Mary questioned. She was walking around the room still facing me.

Sophia watched as he walked towards the dining room. His walk was unchanged with their encounter and she wondered how many other girls who talked to with such familiarity.

The huge white doors opened and man came out of the hallway. A stern silent type with a nameless suit blood leather shoes. His dead eyes scanned the thin nervous looking man in a seat closest to the door. There were visible scars signs and healing cuts on his exposed skin and he must have been trying to reorganize the hair on his head. "Me?"He man hunched un-confidently pointing to himself. Dead eyes said nothing, for they were the only two in the room. A quick embarrassing scan of the large empty room and he nodded smiling softly at his own unawareness. Dead eyes didn 't smile back but stepped out of the way holding the door open. "Right." The thin Man pushed himself up taking a deep breath that he surely needed more of. He was lead in

Splash! That was the first large water balloon Kristen dropped off the deck. When I watched the slo-mo video I took, you could not even see the balloon until right when it hit the ground. Disappointed, she and Mackenzie filled up another one and we tried the same thing again. The video was still to dark to see, so they suggested that I move to the other side of the deck for better lighting. On the third try, we got the video to work perfectly. We all huddled around my phone screen and laughed as we watched the balloon slowly fall to the ground. My other three friends ran out to see what all the laughing was about. They watched the video and began cracking up too. After, we all went back inside due to the amount of bugs outside. We spent the rest of the night talking and laughing until we all fell asleep at around two in the morning. This was the last night we all spent together before heading off to college. Even though it was in the middle of the summer, life took over and we were all busy on different days. The one way that we were able to keep in contact was through a group message, which is still what we use now that we are all in college.

In the early morning in the magical forest, we lived in a cabin. The sun gleaming through the leafs on the trees, the water glowing blue as it flows down from the melting snow as it falls into the lake.

The sky got darker, or so it seemed, as I woke up on the heavily carpeted floor in a small room. It had no signs or buttons, and I could feel the rapid descent downward that pulled on my entire body; an elevator, perhaps?

I felt strong arms lift me up and put me on my makeshift bed. I just laid there shivering. When I finally drifted off into a dreamless sleep it had been a few hours later and I had stopped trembling, only then had I noticed who pulled me out of there, Mike. I know I can count on him.

I sat on the bench outside the apartments as I watched the day we had finished practice and all the girls had plans so I sat here and watched the weather. I had been sad all day so I half expected rain and terrible downpour and cloudy and grey just terrible weather but it wasn 't. It was beautiful the sun was shining and it was slightly cloudy so it was perfect 65 degrees out I looked at the sky and just sat my head on my knee I wanted to cry but maybe my eyes had dried out from crying I pulled my knees up and I just sat in silent as the chilled air wrapped around me I just watched the empty space for what felt like ever. I still watched the sky as a car pull up in front of me I heard the door open and close and soon there was a person in
