The crowd would be offended and throw rancid food at her delicate face. The dilemma with this was it would be all my fault. My stomach itself was like a butterfly garden. By holding my breath they would not be able to migrate to their balmy shelters, instead they would be stuck in my bleak torrid pit. The discomfort I would soon face was something I could never prepare myself for. It seemed like a simple process, a needle would penetrate my skin and that would be that. For my brain the process turned lengthy and problematic. As I reached the rustic door of the doctor's office, I prayed that my legs would give out. The force from hitting the ground would be so substantial I would pass out. I fidgeted with the door knob before turning it. Walking in I acknowledged the ardent receptionist then took a seat as far back as possible. Orbiting around me, mothers were comforting their sick, needy, and disgusting children. When the scrawny blonde nurse came to get me my heart did a flip. The rollercoaster of emotions I was facing was unbearable. Should I run out? Or should I just start screaming? Either would probably work out. Quickly, I …show more content…
Our boxing match would never have to occur. The cockiness in my face showed, until she came back in with a new shot. My face took a turn for the worst bringing my stomach with it. She smiled and apologized, never actually explaining what just happened. She cleaned it again, this time would be the time. My fist would hit her face, the meeting would be impeccable. Just as I rose my arm, she injected my other one. Leaving me stunned for about 5 seconds. “All done,” She said. She left the room. I felt vulnerable and weakened. My arm stung like never before. As I walked out of the office, I looked at a whiny child as if to say, “Good luck in there, it

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…

    Exhaling a soft sigh she placed her right hand against her back, messaging it gently as her head tilted from side to side. She had been on her feet for a little over 4 hours already performing a heart transplant surgery, and would soon be heading into her next surgery.

    Where could it be? I thought. The bright lights of New York City were shining down on me, hiding my dark, depressing life consumed by pain and suffering. My apartment was up ahead, old, and dilapidated; falling apart like a sand castle, but still standing. The cedar shingles stuck up in places like wobbly teeth, and the unkempt grass was shaggy, like uncombed hair.…
