A Negative Dale: A Short Story

Improved Essays
Pain was all I felt after being beaten physically and mentally by the same people everyday. I’m the boy that is called ‘weak’ ‘disgraceful’ ‘unworthy’ and basically, just to sum it up, I’m known as the kid that is just a waste of space. Even my name which is Negative Dale, who is now 16 with dark hazel eyes and short compared to everyone else. Today was supposed to an enjoyable day as I turn another year old, having that word as my name only brings more fun for the ones to bully me, along with what I wear and how I look.

The next day, I stayed in my room afraid going downstairs to see my drunk abusive father. An unfamiliar sound, reach into my ear leading me to be curious of what the sound is. I creeped out of my room and peeked down the stairs with my head hanging low and hiding behind the wall. With the door slowly being pushed, it reminded me of a scene in one of the horrors movie. A shiny light that can be described as a glimpse of heaven can be seen once the door stopped moving, after waiting for a few second it revealed a shadow.

There standing was a women that was in her late 30’s, wearing a dark chocolate coat and white jeans. The only feature that grabbed my attention was her eyes, it had the same shade and the colour was a replica of

The sign above read “Muddy Creek Manor”.…

It is endlessly dark, so dark that I cannot tell whether my eyes are open or closed, though I’m fairly certain that they are open, I think. A few experimental blinks later and I can confirm the openness of my eyes. It is cold here, and I appear to be sitting on some kind of rock. My muscles are locked in place, I’m too scared, too confused to move.…

    Shane Koyczan is an award-winning Canadian poet, author and performer who rose to global prominence in 2013 when he published the spoken word Poem project “To This Day”. Koyczan proficiently represents his bullying experience and its shared aims in society through the proficient use of emotionally lyrical techniques to illustrate its emotional results and the view of discovering oneself. Koyczan attract the audience attention into his personal experience by relating his own experience as a foundation on which he discovered self-identity. Koyczan draws the difference between the real meaning of his self-identity that represents connotations of selfless sacrifice, compassion and humbleness and the perception of others who level social isolation and emotional degradation against him. By expertly and paradoxically incorporating those who bully and those who experience the bullying as the audience of the poem, Koyczan is able to create an aspirational foundation to his message.…

    My most valuable possession was my house. It wasn’t anything fancy or exquisite, but it was there that I had spent the precious moments, however few, with my beloved dad. I remember that we would spend hours playing, running around the arched, brightly lit corridors. On either side, I recall the large mahogany doors which would fluidly open to reveal ancient, chestnut-brown rooms with antique, twin bed frames which were confined within. I will never forget the uncanny gargoyles that were suspended onto the wall behind, the very same monsters who would assault my sleep and curse me with countless numbers of sleepless nights.…
