Who’s Funeral?

As the beautiful day came to an end, the night fall came with and when it came the mist from the swamp came through surrounding everything near impossible to see. Everything dark, mere pitch black but only the light of the mansion that lied there peaked from the blanket of shadows you were suffocated in. The lights start to draw you in, no where else to go, you come closer seeing a path to the two big doors ahead. As you stand in front of the doors you feel guilt and sorrow in the air you breathe it in and your body shivers telling you not to, but you continue to knock.

As your hand hits the door a bird gets woke it caws then croaks scaring you as it flies to the full moon in the ominously non starry night. You hear a creak

    To begin with, my friends son has been on a fast roller coaster ride, however, the ride came to an end. However, I truly feel as if he done tjings on purpose in order to get help. By the same token, his endorphins kicked in because of the desire to continous want for drugs, which caused him to steal gift cards, wreck the fourth car his mom keeps supplying, and loss of employment again.

    As I look up at the sky, which is blood red like the sun stabbed it so it could get away from its eternal partner,I begin to hear the horrible noises of these sky creatures. Their horrible squealing draws everything's attention because it sounds the an incantation to summon the devil from the pits of the underworld. The howling wind joins in trying to make the summoning happening quicker but instead it makes me feel like my ears are going to bleed and starts to cast a sleeping spell on anyone caught in this siren song. The trees become alive to this bewitching tunes as their rodent inhabitants begin to run around trying to attack one another like wolves attacking a deer. Next door the neighbor’s rowdy brats come outside, probably because this is their favorite tune, with their wild and atrocious dog to play game of run around and destroy the yard or as most call it fetch.…

    I came back for my sister’s funeral, I haven’t spoken to her since I left; I haven’t really spoken to anyone since I left. It’s only now that I treasure every moment I had with her, every word I said to her and every word she said back. Her son came to pick me up from the airport, the whole trip back to the house was silent; not a single word was spoken, I could only hear the gravel from the road flick up under the tyres. Funerals here were different to funerals in England, it looks like the whole town was here! As I stepped inside the familiar home I once knew, I could hear the clatter of plates and bowls and the chatter that seemed endless.…

Rain starts to pour down on the dirty, mucky floor splashing the damp soil on his boots. He can taste the freshness of rainwater dripping down into his mouth. He walks when he sees the creaking door with weird symbols carve on the wood opens and locks itself as the man steps in.…

    “Hey guys what’s up it’s your two favorite people back at it again with the vlogging and today me and Crimson are going to do the 24 hour graveyard challenge. “At the moment Crimson is driving to the graveyard,” I said. We got an in and out burger before we got to the graveyard and when I lifted my burger to my mouth the grease dripped into my mouth and the sweet and savory meat, cheese, and ketchup exploded in my mouth. As we pulled into the parking lot the screeches of the car tires rolling on the ground filled my ears like a little girl screaming. I already knew this was an awful idea.…

    Gothic: The house stood still, and so did time. The teal paint was peeling off at a rapid pace, and the windows seemed to stare back to me, almost as if they were challenging me to step inside. The outside light continuously blinking on and off. The windows were dark and grey with dirt while ivy clung to the outer walls.…

    Title: Bullicide Type: Short story As I scurried down the hallway, I was daunted, terrified, petrified. The danger was undoubtedly and irrevocably real. Despite my eyes facing downcast, the cheerleaders cackles rang in my ears-snickering at my social status, guffawing at my lack of friends, chortling at the fact that I was failing classes and had no hope in the future for anything. Encompassing me, students whispered and watched as I passed by and if I had spun to face the other way I would have seen the restless entourage of observers in my wake.…

    Every Christmas Eve our family gathers around the coffee table in our apartment in New York City. During the day we go to see the tree at Rockefeller Center and buy chocolate candies from the Greenwood Pastry on the corner. Uncle Riley leads the way as we walk the streets until the light begins to fade between the office towers and the crippled gargoyles forever perched on the corners of the buildings that illuminate a golden age gone by. We laugh together and reminisce about the previous Christmases we have spent together. The elevator seems quieter on these nights, almost as if it has a respect for the holiday, but I know it’s just because we’re all crammed in there together.…

    The surgeons assistant, in a chatty mood and already donning cerulean scrubs, hastily leads me down the 7th floor hallway lined with unoccupied stretchers, past two sets of imposing doors into the nurses' break area leading to the locker rooms. The contrast between the sterile North Wing of UMMC and the rest of the medical center, which resembled the local mall begins to affect me immediately. Pulling on the one-size-fits-all uniform, I feel like I'm infiltrating a funeral home, and though I have been anticipating sitting in on the operation for weeks now, stepping into the ward- which is buzzing with activity as I stand by- seems as appetizing as watching a mortician butcher the thoracic cavity of some unfortunate soul. The room chills me…

    First Person The moon barely lit the muddy pathway ahead. Twisted twigs and fallen branches caught my ankle and I could feel them crunch underneath my worn out sandals-making it hard to walk. There was no sensible movement for miles on the abandoned ally, it was completely vacant, except for one ancient house on the far corner of the road.…

    The whole room was spinning, while bile rose from her throat onto the hardwood floor where she landed with a thud. Quickly, my dad reached for his phone calling the therapist while I went to my mother to make sure she hadn’t hurt herself. Her eyes, evident with exhaustion, fluttered open with unshed tears. I gently smoothed her hair and murmured soothing words while my dad spoke to the doctor.…
