The Thrill in the Kill…….And What it Does After Elham I. 8-1 I’m a deadbeat. There is no way to sugarcoat it (and frankly, I don’t want to). Being as profound and logical as I am, I decided to do something aside from my part-job at a convenience store: rob a bank. I probably would have gotten myself killed, but hey, no more having to reject minors for alcohol, right?…
“The Most Dangerous Game” narrative centers around about 3 things: hunting, Rainsford, and his attempt to stay alive. There are two people, Rainsford and Whitney, that are on a yacht and they are hunters. They pass an island and Whitney tells Rainsford that it is a dangerous place. Whitney leaves Rainsford to get ready for bed. While Rainsford is alone, he hears 3 gunshots, which makes confusion and interest blossom in his mind.…
The antelope that roams the grasslands specks of yellow in the tall grass snap Paranoia of someone watching me Steady and alert rustle, rustle My heart races, I have butterflies Clumps of dirt fly from the ground thump, thump, thump The world is spinning faster and faster I’m helpless now growl, rawr I’m nothing but your prey You give me this feel good feeling that courses through my veins. You’re my predator and I’m your prey…
The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…
Things had changed in the beast’s castle. Though the world outside was always shrouded in snow and night, the halls of the keep were always full of candlelight. Rosa and the beast rapidly became great friends with each other in the days following the shift into winter. Every day from bell to bell, they seldom left each other’s sides. “…And that’s more or less a complete history of the United States,” Rosa said, finishing her lecture on American history as they both stepped back into the entrance foyer, lit up by a restored crystal chandelier.…
Makenzie Jensen 10/19/17 3rd hour/Barker Personal Narrative Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!!!! The birds are singing from the tops of the trees. Butterflies fluttering around me. The stream babbling in the distance.…
I have had enough of her. “Get out,” I said sternly. I stood against her, a rabid wolf. Her words were each a bite mark on a heart, “I won’t leave until you tell me what you did!” Her towering posture had made that sentence that much scarier.…
People in the world will always have something that they cherish, something that they love, and something they do not want to lose. This statement concludes the weakest people to the strongest people; even a person with the highest power like Barak Obama or the person who owns the production of oil. They all have their darkest fears, and fear something. I am one of many fears. First off, the definition of fear and how fear is ignited should be explained.…
CC's Scare You never really cherish life until you almost see one lost, human or pet. I began to cherish life when my cat, CC, almost lost his. About 4 years ago, my mother, sister, and I were on our way to my grandma's house, and when we arrived, we found an unexpected visitor.…
Disbelieve and fear shook my mind as I lie on my back, sitting on top of concrete sandwiched in between the hot metal hood of a car, as the weight pressed down against me it didn’t hurt, my body was too numb to feel anything. All I could feel was a car pushing me further into the ground pushing my lungs down and shutting air out of it. It felt too surreal I kept blinking as if I thought I’d wake up from this mess. I could see sirens and people gathering around me watching in disbelieve, I kept fading in and out of conscience I felt like I was close to death.…
Please read this. Please. Please also reply to this, as it is my wish. I've said it over and over.…
I put my hair up in a pony tail and stretched a little before I started my run. I would have prefered to run at night, with the extremely hot since it was the beginning of August. I could take the heat but my wolves could possible over. I told them to stay in the cool Barn but they refused. It was the younger two year wolves and they were more stubborn than me.…
It was a year ago; i got Undertale off of the steam library. I still don't know why it was recommended to me, maybe it was the retro vibe i got from the game. The game follows a child who’s fallen into the world of monsters. the child needed to travel to the King of the monsters, Asgore to go home.…
Running With the Monsters There was so many people, everyone looked like skyscrapers. Someone in the distance yelled, we slowly made our way to the start. Nerves were building up, I’d never done anything like this. There’s a first for everything. I kept telling myself I could do it, but my stomach was telling me, we were going to throw up.…
The sickness that I live with is one that some would find excessively appalling, making it impossible to talk about; so I kept it to a whisper. This sickness I thought was to embarrassing to talk about, making it impossible to seek help, left me feeling alone in the dark. This sickness ruined friendships, without me realizing it. This sickness that made getting out of bed a struggle for me. This sickness made it impossible for me to see a positive future, until the day I stopped calling myself “crazy” and began to grow from what we all call, depression.…
