Ernest's Life Before Dying

Improved Essays
It all happened so fast. Obsolescence deftly saturated Ernest’s life to the point that he had taken up lying on a blue and green plaid blanket in the middle of Watson Park on Sunday afternoon. And today felt like a Sunday. Ernest heard the distant echoing of dinging Church bells, offering harmonious valediction to their parishioners, and everything around him seemed to be quiet and slow. But that would soon change, and it made Ernest smile a toothy smile. He knew, that after church services ended, families would soon be luxuriating in the warmth of the early fall sun, idly chatting, or corralling children who exasperated their parents by mischievously shedding pent up energy in the park.
Ernest fluttered the plaid blanket up and down numerous

    At 5:30 AM, the young, naive, Jenny Drpich is all dressed up finally ready to leave her home and head to her job for the first time. On her way, she grabbed a copy of West Australian newspaper, a leftover of cinnamon bun from last night and a freshly brewed cup of Long Black Arabica. The placidness of her home is unwieldy; the constant sound of the dead air seems remind her of pure elation of her little farmhouse in upper Swan Valley. These reminiscing values seem to ponder in her mind as she heads out of the driveway. It was a heinous drive from her house to the suburb.…

    Returning to Devon for the first time in fifteen years, Gene oddly finds it looking “newer than when I was a student” (page 1). He contains a certain amount of sentimentality for the school of his childhood, a place where he had many times of joy and mischief. Returning to Devon brings back many memories for Gene, like jumping off the “forbidden tree,” “blitzball,” and missing meals. However, there is a sense of darkness in the beginning. It is raining, cold, and gloomy, the dominant feeling for Gene on his return.…

    The weather was not intrigued by Cathy Hillman’s birth on November 8, 1920, but everybody else was. It snowed that day, the first and the harshest snowfall of the year. Nobody was prepared for the snow just like nobody was prepared for Cathy’s arrival. The wind felt like icicles taking over anybody that stepped outside into a foot of snow. Across the road, there were a pile of brand new Ford Model T’s aligned off the road, waiting for somebody to arrive to take care of them.…

    John Jeremiah Sullivan ISSUE 194, FALL 2010 When I was twenty years old, I became a kind of apprentice to a man named Andrew Lytle, whom pretty much no one apart from his negligibly less ancient sister, Polly, had addressed except as Mister Lytle in at least a decade. She called him Brother. Or Brutha—I don’t suppose either of them had ever voiced a terminal r. His two grown daughters did call him Daddy. Certainly I never felt even the most obscure impulse to call him Andrew, or “old man,” or any other familiarism, though he frequently gave me to know it would be all right if I were to call him mon vieux.…

    218 Blenheim Road was a minacious husk of what once was a home. The family that had lived there last had long moved to Iowa or Wisconsin or some other boring Midwestern state. Nobody remembered who they were anyway. The house loomed above the sidewalk like a dried up animal skeleton. Its lifeless, shattered widows glared down at any passerby; as if the house itself was watching people walk past, noticing their steps getting just a little bit quicker once they entered its gloomy stretch of sidewalk.…

    As I walked into the building, I couldn’t help but feel that it was too small. To myself, I asked if that status of African Americans in the U.S., their status as sub-human had anything to do with the underwhelming physical space. Then, I looked at the exhibits, watched the twenty-minute film and realized that the atmosphere and formation centered on the monument and the small piece of ground. Still, it was underwhelming. Compared to places like the MoMA or the American Museum of Natural History, African American history entwined into American history seems as buried as the enslaved’s bodies.…

    Baseball Narrative

    We sat on the hot metal of the bleachers outside of the baseball field. The rainy days of Spring were replaced with the sweltering heat of the Summer, and hearing the clink of a baseball hit a bat in the Summer had become a tradition for almost five years. My older brother Dakota had spent those years being bombarded by sweat, mud, and the encouragement of his family, friends, and coaches when the team needed to hit a ball or when he wanted to show off how much better he had gotten since the last season. We were all ready for the season to be over so that we could plan our almost yearly trip to Virginia to visit our Aunt, Uncle, and our almost overwhelming blue-eyed cousins, Liam and Carlile. When the baseball season had come to a happy--or sad--ending, we would plan the trip and be piling into the car within the next week or two, to go on the getaway…

    The fresh smell of new books, the milky smell of babies, the moldy smell of old houses, the smell of newly-mown summer grass…When you perceive a new scent, your brain automatically links it with an environment, a occasion, a person, an object, or a moment; when the same scent come to you again, you would conjure up the bounded memory. Although there is no holding back the wheel of time, scent is always our super-power when it comes to memory. ' But when from a long-distant past nothing subsists, after the people are dead, after the things are broken and scattered, taste and smell alone, more fragile but more enduring, more unsubstantial, more persistent, more faithful, remain poised a long time, like souls, remembering, waiting, hoping, amid…

    The doors swing open, the sound of screaming, giggling, unzipping of jackets and thumping of little feet, cease the prior quiet Monday afternoon. It’s a typical day in Pleasant Grove church; the Greatminds program has just begun. Brianna and Mayonne run in with glowing smiles and open arms. They embrace Erica and I, an embrace similar to one given to a friend that has not been seen in months; yet just last Monday we all went pumpkin picking. The activity room is filled with more children, as Manny, Treasure, Hector, Trinity, Deondre, Lamayaa, and Jenny come piling in.…

    Barbara Capitelli was shaking, not noticeably, but shaking inside for her feelings were exceptionally strong and vivid. She wanted to get away from Barbara and the only way she could at this moment was to think of someone else’s words of wisdom. “The whisper of solemn finality, the mention of death of a loved one is a deep moment of regret that takes control and squeezes you till the tiny drops of remorse have no place to hide. It is that moment of reflection when you may look back and think about what you should have done instead of what you did.…
