Every city has its dark history. Some have racial tension, others family feuds. Mine has a drinking problem. A teenage drinking problem. In the middle of town is a park, and in that park is a grove of 102 tree stumps.…
I climbed the tree to get Rodgers I went up there and grabbed my knife out of my holster and cut him down. As we both fell down off the tree when we hit the ground we fell in to a tunnel of depression and eeriness, while we were trying to find our way out we were knocked out. When we awoke were tied up with rope and our mouths stuffed with old rags. When the noticed we have awoken they grabbed a revolver and told us to play Russian roulette so we did.…
The speaker from PreMedical Ms.Schnarre, I was not interested in any of the things that this major had to offer. I have never been interested in PreMedical. Will probably not want to pursue any kind of job in this of work. Even though the opportunities seem interesting, the money was with my interest. I would not want to take a different direction that I am already headed.…
The pounding on the door meant the liquor had him in a drunken stupor, and carol knew there would be hell to pay. “Go away,” Carol yelled, hoping he would just leave [but that was just wishful thinking], in the back of her mind she knew he wasn’t about to leave, and he, without a doubt, would become more violent, “you’re scaring the children.” She explained in a softer…
I can not imagine how you must feel right now. I am sincerely sorry for my actions Friday December 11 .That later on ended up injuring Taylor. I wish there was more I could at this point. Even tho I did not throw the rock at her I feel fully responsible for the whole thing.…
The Arrival I had originally planned to travel to Rio on September 5th through September 12th. A perspicacious and experienced hunter named Rainsford accompanied me. It was nighttime when I first spotted land of any sort. It was vaguely visible and was opaque, so misty that even Rainsford couldn’t see it. Utterly tired, I began drifting off, dreaming of the adventures we were soon to face.…
When you need to find a fence builder and you want one who takes pride in his work, and treats his customers as he would want someone to treat his own family, you want A Plus Fences. Residents of Bronx, NY, Uniondale, NY, Brooklyn, NY and surrounding areas won't find a fence builder who takes as much pride in erecting a fence as I do. I work with many different materials when it comes to building fences. I want you to have exactly what you want. If you want a traditional wooden fence, that's what I'll give you.…
“Shes coming back right?” a baffled 7 year old asks in response to the appalling news of her mother’s death. A vibrant imagination is accompanied by a crushing pain of reality that trails behind it ; I discovered this when I heard the words “no” . 10 years later, that conversation lingers in my head and holds not a cacophonous nor euphonious sound, but instead holds the neutral tone of reality, an alarm . As routine , at 6a.m., I hear a melodious alarm followed by the pitter-patter of my aunt who is getting ready for work.…
Ever since I was a kid I knew that I wanted to work with computer technology, and realized at an early age that I had knack for it, almost losing my technical certifications was an important literacy event in my life because it motivated me to pursue more education and ignited my passion of becoming an IT professional and working with computer technology. It all started when I decided to go back to school to get my A plus certification. I went to a technical school that focused on helping students obtain IT certifications to help them pursue career in the IT field which was my goal.…
he asked “you signed up?” I said “yep.” The next morning I go to wake up my mom and she doesn’t respond. I got to touch her to wake her up and she doesn’t move. I yell “mom” then I yell “Sandy” she doesn’t respond.…
Robin. These are pictures of her when she was even a preteen. The pastor was worshiping her? What kind of sick obsession am I seeing here? I turned my flashlight off, as the candle lights were strong enough to light the room in the back.…
For the past year, I have hidden behind a wall of insecurity. Being a Mexican-American in today's politically charged society has separated me from the rest of the country. It is now evident that racism is well and alive in our country and was merely concealed for years until now. Now, Mexicans and other various ethnic groups are oppressed daily and labeled as “unfit” and “unwanted”. As for Mexicans, President Donald Trump thinks he has a good solution.…
Do you remember when you were a little kid and you had to climb on your counter-top to reach a cabinet? I remember it as if it was yesterday, maybe because it really was. All my life I have been dramatically smaller than all my peers. I have always been ostracized for the fact of my height which, in fact I have no jurisdiction over . I have always lived by the motto “Heart over height” in every aspect of life, and in every endeavor I encounter.…
Have you ever been 12? Probably, but everyone is different when they're 12. When I was a small 12 year old, there wasn't much to me. I was misplaced, sad, scared, and stupid. And when I say stupid, I do mean stupid.…
I remember a time when I was four, playing in the backyard with my sister and dog, carefree because the world is a safe place and nothing could hurt me, except maybe a house fire or a tornado. Not anymore. The world is not what I thought it once was. The world I once knew was full of loving, accepting families and compassionate people. But it is actually full of ignorance, hatred, and bigotry.…
