    Not All Dreams The sudden sound of soft sobs awakened me from my slumber. Slithering my way out of bed, I sauntered over to the formal dining room of our house. Creeping from behind the door, I tuned in to the conversation that was taking place. “It’s March 19th, he’s out of time to turn the weapons in,” My mother stated whilst she took down the last hanging painting in our house, with tears rolling down her cheeks, her eyes red and her nose stuffy from all the crying she’s been doing all week.

    The room smelt of sick and death. It clung to all in the room like a living demon, mocking the grievers. Heavy dark curtains were drawn shut blocking out the summer’s day behind them and only a few scattered candles were lit.

    My time with Cal State LA and internship is coming to end, and there are so many mixed feelings that I have. I am nervous, excited, scared, relieved, and so forth. For this quarter, my seminar class and internship have focused a lot on termination, with Cal State LA, clients, and myself. The termination process has helped me deal and cope with my mixed emotions, because it makes it easier for me to end a chapter in my life, and transition into a new one.

The EMT 's tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better of, trust me. And that 's when you met me. "What... what happened?" you asked.
