Chimerae's Injustice

Improved Essays
“It’s quiet here Sigi. So peaceful, after so many eons of chaos, don’t you think?” Chimerae whispered, lying her head upon the winter breeds.

My eyes shifted, but I was all too aware of how true her words rang. The gentle snowflakes could lull any tired soul into an infinite slumber. And I was certainly exhausted. The gentle song of the winds brought its chill upon us, and we were enchanted by these lyrics the heavens bestowed upon us. The silence was broken only by our steady breathing and whispers. After so many years, my heart could finally find peace amidst the chaos in the single isolated world of Chimerae’s deathbed. There was loneliness that rang throughout our hearts but it was this very acceptance, that gave us alleviation.

“…I agree.”

I too, could feel myself being drawn out by the promise of prosperity at the end of our trapped lives. …I knew I held the same exhaustion as Chimerae. Although I have only been alive for so long, I find myself sinking beneath the burdens of life. We are told to cherish life, to believe it to be pleasant and freedom from the calls of it end. But living for eternity, was nothing more than a curse. I have barely lived my life, and I already know, that for some, death is the only liberation we may find from the perils of the …show more content…
Clouds made from angelic breathes surrounded us. This was Chimerae’s heaven. Chimerae, simply smiled with my presence. As for me, as I narrowed my eyes I could make out a brief smile. How out of character. Yet so in character for the demon. All she wished was for the happiness of me. It was a particularly odd feeling that I could not precisely describe. I was aware I was her wardship, the one assigned to her at birth, years before my current body came into being. I was not aware, that she considered my happiness, as part of her wardship. But I suppose, are not all friendships, like that? The joy of another is what we strive for, or at least what I like to believe. In truth, I should not place my ideals at the heart of

    It was a dark and bleak December, still or again, no one could tell. The only light in a small chamber was the slowly dying fire in the fireplace. People with terrible countenances stared from fading paintings on the walls covered in thick layer of dust. There was a strange feeling of emptiness in the room – no smells or sounds, everything seemed lifeless. Even deep winter seemed numb.…

    In discussions of Atul Gawande’s book Being Mortal, one controversial issue has been about the inescapable realities of death and becoming old. On the one hand, Gawande believes that when a person becomes old or near death, the surgeries and spending money on medicines ‘to keep them alive’ are not the best solution and it can complicate ones situation. The best way is to have the support of your loved ones to help get through tough times after surgeries or becoming old. On the other hand, Suzanne Koven from The Boston Globe believes that Atul’s book is very sad and depressing because it brings up the topics of aging, death, and current medical practices. It can commonly be associated with the question, How can we make our last days more comfortable,…

    In 1960s America, women began to react in a new way to the building oppression that had taken decades to create. The double standards set up by society were finally boiling over, and women felt the need for an Equal Rights Amendment, which was originally proposed in 1923 by Alice Paul and Crystal Eastman.

    His previous “cold reprieve” has been warmed by the leaves in nature that “burn red” before dying. The short but graceful life of the leaf is a metaphor for what life should be - beautiful regardless of the time given. This juxtaposition of life as a “cold reprieve” changing into the image of a leaf burning “red” shows how the voice’s view on life is changing throughout the poem by the echo’s prompting. Realizing that nature is stunning in its death, he now understands that life is a wonderful journey leading up to death that should be cherished in all of its beauty.…

    Far beyond salvation in this world, I sit there, as my frame remains silent of motion, and feeling psychologically numb, filled with an indescribable sort of pain. As a victim of an untreated disorder, with a distorted mindset, I lay famished and in a mental agony, nowhere near a romantic acceptance. No music, nor any type or sound was to be heard and no writers commemorated this sort of numbness in their work. The world was numb; no feeling whatsoever and I was nothing more than a lifeless shell, hoping that a change would occur to pull me out of the rabbit hole, someday. For a moment, I remain in the same position, watching, and then strode away, gripped with oblivion.…

I decided to go where the music came from, shoving all the snow and snow slide away to keep Gabriel warm, but the snow kept getting in our way. As I walked through the snow, all the memories from the Giver I learned came up in my mind growing in a cycle and I felt balmy. The colors, food I liked, the sleigh all I learned, all the memories warmth myself even in the snow. Yes, I felt warm, but as the memory grew, I felt more exhausted.…

    Everyone will inevitably die at some point. But despite this truth, few people think about death; about when it will come, or under what circumstances. Many see death as a frightful harm, for it involves the end of a familiar condition: physical existence. Others are divided, and think that while death from accidents is unfortunate, it can also be a merciful deliverance from disease or suffering. But would death be a harm if everyone died on an expiry date, which they would know?…
