Personal Narrative: Sleeping Bishop

Decent Essays

I was absolutely terrified as I gripped the candlestick in my hand. I prepared myself to do what I came to do, but this emotion I had never felt before was seizing me. I pulled my cap on an crossed the room quickly. Ignoring the sleeping Bishop, I used the key I found to open the cupboard, grabbing a basket full of silverware, and ran without worrying about the sound I was making. Grabbing my cudgel I threw the silver into my knapsack, vaulted a wall, and

    She walked down the cold, dark corridor as she felt the soft and quiet wind run her by causing her to experience an ice-cold chill that ran up her spine. It was merely past six in the afternoon, yet the eerie atmosphere made it appear as if she were standing in the middle of a cemetery at the darkest hour of the night. The hot, moisty air made her clothes and hair cling to her skin. Her hands began to shake and sweat trickled down her palms. She swore she heard someone’s voice whisper her name, but perhaps it was simply the wind.…

    Rhythmic staccatos of hammer drills coupled with harmonic musical accompaniment compose the symphony of the theatrical arena. Gridlocked center stage, contemplating the complexity of antibiotic resistance in petri-developed bacterial strains, my deviated attention soon becomes enveloped by the compulsory sound of the production manager calling a cast meeting. I clench my hands around a story of genuine sentiment for tradition; having spent months exploring the effect one transformative agent can bear on an entire population of nuanced individuals. I begin to reference the fundamentals of biology to incite a parallel between random mutations of bacteria and random events associated with the art of theatrical production. In the studio, I delve…

Running through every street as fast as I could, breathing uneasily and filled with unexplainable feeling that I swear I never had encounter in my entire life, the sky started to vanish and another form of darkness covered it.

    Sitting at the end of the pew, with the communion being passed around, I had little time to debate whether or not I should ingest this metaphor. Receiving communion used to be a normal ritual that I would go through almost every Sunday. It took my free time on Sundays to earn the ability of taking communion, through Sunday schooling and being baptised. But as the tray of grape juice and crackers advanced closer in my direction, the ritual became more foreign to me than ever. It wasn’t until recently that I was confronted with a belief that I have had for as long as I can remember.…
