Abyss

The Truth in the Abyss When writing they say it is always best to tell the truth. I do not know who “they” are, but “they” seem to be vaguely arrogant, entirely omnipotent and the enforcers of way too many rules. That being said, the truth does not exist. Each person’s perspective of a situation is in and of itself a unique truth. My truth of that night is different than my mother’s. I will get to those truths, but first here is the beginning. Anxiety holds my hand while 3 a.m. holds my secrets. It has been this way since before I could remember. I would obsesses over my fears to the point of becoming physically sick.

They themselves have surrendered to the Abyss. All of them are hollow and powerless as they succumb to the degradation of their…

Friedrich Nietzsche stated that, "He who fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. When you gaze long into the Abyss, the Abyss also gazes into you." 1.

Both of these boys, having been raised poorly, do not know better than to do something as atrocious as murder. When Michael Perry and Jason Burkett, the two teenage boys, see a nice car in…

The narrator of this story is Geoffrey Chaucer, who was born into the middle class and considered to be the greatest English poet of his lifetime. He spoke many languages including French and Italian. Chaucer was part of the government, so money was not an issue for him. Society had three levels at this time: clergy, nobles, and traders or general labor…

Growing up in the countryside of a small town in Indiana, the outdoors became my home. I could be found roaming, exploring and imaging adventure in the grassy fields, the rolling hills and bewitched woods. Starting from dawn to dusk I was outside. Summer consisted of enchanted forests, while the winters transformed into wonderlands. The outdoors was somewhat of a storybook to me. It held my imagination and dreams. To me nature has not become a symbol of my childhood, but also a place of comfort.…
