Breaking My Leg
Aryaman Sahni

As sunset was nearing we saw the sky abruptly turning darker, like someone had turned off a couple of switches in their house, the sky filled with cotton candy. The last bright glimpse of the sunlight slowly faded away while it glowed through the dark clouds. The sky was getting darker as if a person had injected sleeping potion in the sun. Suddenly, my visibility was much much shorter. The skies opened it’s eyes and a torrent of rain bolted out, wanting to get away from the grey, blotchy clouds. Complementing the rain, lightning and thunder made a grand entry with a large boom. Raindrops the size of bullets thundered on the roof. Clouds of rain were being formed. Sheets and sheets of rain blanketed around the

I was dribbling with the ball close to the goal about to score when I slipped, banging my fragile and feeble head on the strong and superior stone floor. My leg shot out like a bullet and smashed into the metal wall like a baseball bat. The impact died like a plane with it’s engine down. I felt nothing at first, but a fraction of a second later my leg was paining so much that I felt someone was putting a red-hot metal stick on my leg and they were digging their way in like blood-thirsty scarabs and another second later my head hit the stone floor and this time it felt that someone was just putting a cricket ball hitting my head at a terrific speed and I skittered to the floor and thudded like ball, performing it’s last bounces. I screamed like Voldemort when he discovered his horcruxes were destroyed and this was rage to such a level, that a lion would be scared of me. I lay on the floor helpless, like a zebra dying and neying, trying to fend of predators from devouring its slit body. Then the pain died of, but I was too weak to get up. This time a whimpered “help” came from my lips softly.
People sprinted to me like a cheetah but being careful to avoid my fate. They carried me to my house while an other informed my parents. They laid me down in my bed and I wanted to sleep or die, running away from my life like a coward. They draped my blanket over me to keep myself warm because I had a lot of dirty wet patches on my body. When they

    There could be more than one definition of a beautiful place; they all differ from each other. For example, the sight and sound of ocean waves colliding with each other as they ooze onto the shore of the beach could be a definition of a beautiful place; however, the sight of gleaming city lights with the glowing silver shine of the moon resting in the sky could also be a definition of a beautiful place. Hume Lake Christian Camp is my definition of a beautiful place. It is located in the Sequoia National Forest in Hume, Fresno County, California.…

    The Autobiography of a Wooden Baseball Bat I remember back when I used to be a big, healthy ash tree in central North America. I had all my friends living next to me.

    Hi Ms. Pierce, Hope you had a wonderful break and a nice day, The word I would use to describe my break is deciphering because I got a break from dance and school. For example, I was able to sleep to try to avenge the early wakings during school days and early dance practices. In addition to that, I had nothing to be concerned about. Having a break from both school and dance gave me time to think about myself and what I wanted for my future; besides, I was able to unwind. The time I had was crucial to me because sometimes in the middle of all the activities in the year I have no time to think.…

    Throughout my life, I have been the victim of several burglaries. At the age of seven, someone, in broad daylight, broke into our house and shot my dad in the chin. I was displaced to my aunt's house for weeks and missed most of my 1st grade year. When I was seventeen, I walked in on my home being robbed by some local kids. They were upstairs when I came into the house and escaped through a window, but the idea that I could have come home earlier still haunts me.…

    BELIEVE IT OR NOT, we're all accustomed to a certain standard, or stereotype that needs to be played. Whether it's being captain of the cheerleading team or the smartest kid in your class, it's one way or another that's there's going to be someone who's supposed to follow by these stereotypes or standards just for the sole fact that that's them. Unfortunately for me, it couldn't get any worse, since being an African American female who unfortunately does not fit your typical, "angry black woman." Yes, that "angry black woman", bitter, closed-off, unarticulated, with serious father issues.…

    The leaves crunched under my black converse as I walked through the nature trail. It was a crisp fall day, too cold for short sleeves, but too warm for a heavy coat. It was Sunday afternoon, and I was trying to escape my duties at home by telling my mom I needed to get outside on such a beautiful day. I sat down on the bridge and looked down at the shining river. The water was twenty feet below me and looked about fifteen to twenty feet deep.…

    After 13 years of cheerleading, I have learned that there are many ways that you can get hurt. I would never listen to my coach when he would tell me that I needed to stop or that I needed to change the way I would tumble. He would try to teach me the correct way, and I would just brush it off because I thought that I knew everything about tumbling. But of course, I didn’t. I was working on my fulls and my coach kept telling me to use my hips to spin.…

    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.…

    I have to be able to place a pass right on the foot of a teammate to set up a goal. That day was no different from any other. As my foot made contact with that beautiful, glossy soccer ball for the first time that day, it seemed to know that it had no choice but to obey my direction as it subserviently rolled to its destination. Suddenly out of nowhere, a bone-jarring blow from behind left my body limp and lifeless on the field. I lay there in a dreamlike state for what seemed like an eternity before mustering enough strength to get myself to my feet again.…

    Wind bustled through the branches of the trees, making the leaves howl in their symphony. Walking along the gravel path in the woods makes you realize how intricate the clash between weather and nature can be. Two natural forces both in harmony and constantly fighting. The rain was going to come down any second; it’s distinct smell was filling the air. Plush, intertwining clouds pushed their grey front towards where I stood.…
