Clover Alternate Ending

Improved Essays
The snow is falling softly from the darkening sky onto the mushy streets. Clover’s body has stopped shivering long ago. He was sure that this was how he was going to die; alone on the street with no one to remember him. Clover’s vision blurs darker and darker. Reality and memories are starting to feel like one and the same. In the end, he couldn’t find a place to call his home. Hot tears blurring the images more. He thought of his poor mother who died the same way he was at at this very moment. He can remember his mother’s death so clearly.
Clover and his mother were looking for shelter from the snowstorm. It had just started and showed no signs of stopping any time soon. They found a narrow alleyway between a corner store and an apartment

Clover wasn’t strong enough to defeat him so he nidged at his mother, yelling at her to run. Instead of running to the small exit from the cardboard, she charged the opposite direction, towards Boss. Clover was horrified as his mother was slammed into the store wall, landing with a loud thud. Whether or not it was part of the plan, the store owner came running out of the store, yelling and crrying a broom in hand. Boss turned to face the interferring human. That window of opportunity was all Clover and his mother needed to get away. They ran as fast as they could to an area they knew Boss couldn’t go. Clover felt relieved once they got far enough to call it safe. He heard a thud and quickly flipped around.
His mother was a few feet away, collapsed on the snow-covered sidewalk with a pool of red slowly growing from her side. He yelped in her direction and ran back to her side. She was dying. The injury had been far too much and her illness was only accelarating her death. Clover could only huddle next to her and keep talking to her, saying it was going to be okay. He had gotten his sharpness from his mother, she knew full well it was her time, so she told him to listen to what her final

    The narrator wants to see her husband again, by joining him after death, but knows that if she dies she will be leaving her son behind. The writer then says that she wants the weatherman to mention a crash, because she does not want to be the one to tell her son that his father has died, and then says “The world outside, obliterated.” The narrator feels that her world is in pieces and everything is broken because of her great sorrow her husband’s death brought her, but she feels trapped in her home by writing that “The walls are winged beasts that fold themselves over [them].” Dingman concludes the poem with the final line: “[He] is the snow.” Dingman uses this to compare the narrator’s husband to the snow because eventually, like the snow melting as time goes on, she will have to move on from her husband’s…

    July-Day 18 I can barely pull myself out of bed today, it's cold outside the blankets that have kept me safe since my descent to dreamland where I have been since 6:30 PM. I've slept for 12 hours and I want to keep sleeping. I want to stay in bed where nothing happens to any extremes. I dreamt of lighthouses and the light it casts out over the clear blue gulf sending a signal of safety to those passing by. I wonder about all the things that are like lighthouses to me.…

    Jessica Risner Heather Ward English 1101-41 October 5, 2015 “Love You Forever” Literary Analysis One of my favorite stories to read to my daughter is “Love You Forever” by Robert Munsch. The story is about a mother who sneaks into her son’s room, once he is sleeping, and sings a song to him. She sings to him these words “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be (pg. 14).” My favorite part about this story is that once her son is a teenager, and even a grown adult, she still sneaks into his room and sings her song to him.…

    I was over ecstatic when Fernando, (also known as Fernie) my best guy friend asked me to go on a walking adventure with him in our hometown of Kelseyville, California. We started off the day by walking in the forest alongside of Kelsey Creek. This forest has a really big meaning to Fernie and I, because we both love nature in every aspect and these walking adventures are not uncommon to us. Starting on the path we both got lost in our own thoughts, I got distracted by looking above me at the the canopy the tree branches created. My eyes followed the patterns the sunlight was creating as it broke through the leaves and cascaded onto the uneven forest floor.…

    "Whoa! E-Easy there pal, y-you almost fell!" Clover breathed, doing his absolute best to keep his larger friend balanced on his own two feet as they returned home from a long night of celebration. He kept one arm wrapped around the small of his back, almost about as high as he could reach, and the other to his drunken friend's hip, trying to support his weight as he seemed to dance and sway in his intoxication. A series of bubbly giggles and hiccups escaped his larger friend as he briefly escaped his grasp.…

    “Here you go Clover” I stare at Jeff the zoo keeper, while he drops a gold coin into my tank. When he walks away, I slowly slide down from my perch that was up on top of the fake little rainbow, that they had given me for my tank. I didn’t like the rainbow that much, but I guess it will have to do. In my opinion the rainbows back home were the best. Colors mixed perfectly in the golden rays of the sunlight.…

    A screeching can be heard echoing across the moonlit, fire scorched lands, of northern Netherlands. The screeching resonating from a old concrete building on the out lies a templar's cross etched into the concrete over the door leading into the building. Inside the building is pitch black except for a light coming from a stairwell leading up onto the second floor of the building, the floor is covered in water chips of concrete from the cracking structure. Another screech is heard coming from the stairwell as two figures go up it in black robes holding candles. Upon the second floor a large room opens up at the end of the hallway where a stone tomb sits upon it lies a girl no older then ten a chandelier covered in candles hangs above her dripping wax onto her burning her skin, as a window behind her begins to light the room with moonlight.…
