Shindel: A Fictional Narrative

Improved Essays
One morning Shindel woke up and something was off. She began her morning routine, but couldn’t quite put her finger on it. There was some lingering doubt and anxiety about getting dressed. she moved past the uneasiness and put on some clothes, but again a dull twinge came over her while brushing his teeth. It was there, staring her in the face, but he couldn’t see it.Walking to class through campus, it began to crystalize. The sounds of everyday life in Texas swirled into the background and faded into the distance. Then it struck. Dizziness overtook her and she collapsed onto a bench lining the walkway. Everyone looked the same. One printed t-shirt after the next.

Shindel was baffled to see a generation of individuals, creatives, and artists

    The air was crisp; dew dripped off of the freshly mowed lawn. A slight breeze swung me softly side to side. There I was, on the ragged concrete steps, leaning morosely aside the brick pillar. It was a beautiful day, but the atmosphere surrounding me was miserable. Impatiently tapping my foot, I looked up and down the street to see if my friends were near.…

    Before acquiring a certain raven haired detective, the downtown GCPD was a busy little place, the kind of place that low end criminals sat in tiny cells and await with one another without having to deal with the nuts at Arkham. The weekend meant that cops officially had their hands full, and even if downtown GCPD was obscure and unknown, the swell of low end criminals brought to GCPD was enough to keep it running. The cells were small and old, and other than a decent view of the water, that was pretty much all it had going for it. The downtown GCPD was always dealing with something from the petty drunks to the common thieves.…

    Reluctantly stumbling through a sea of all different walks of life, I tightly held on to my clunky lunch box as it bumped into every new face I passed. I scrambled around the intimidatingly large campus of Cypress Bay High School searching for my classroom. “Excuse me, do you happen to know where the 300’s building is?” I asked in a shaken voice, but no one seemed to hear me. It was as if everyone spoke a different language that I did not understand.…

    My heart broke, and I let out a boisterous groan as the last string trimmer malfunctioned and the weedwhacker slowly churned to a stop. I had been consumed by my thoughts of planning my senior speech, crafting my life plan of becoming a nurse anesthetist, and figuring out what I wanted to eat for breakfast to notice that I was walking so rapidly that I had outworked the machine. It was a humid Sunday morning, the grass was still wet with morning dew when I had abruptly woken up and tied on my decrepit, battered, newly turned green sneakers. As I began the trek to my neighbor’s house the smell of wet grass prudently wafted into my nose. With the exception of my dad there is an evident lack of testosterone in the house with just my mom, twin sister, and I.…

They resembled the stars in the sky, but instead they had fallen onto the ground to illuminate the night. When we drew into town, everything seemed so strange to me.…

    With my blue speckled backpack slung across my shoulders, I padded silently down carpeted stairs and into the linoleum-tiled kitchen of my house. I was usually the first to wake up on school mornings, but this morning my mom stood over a sizzling stove, her brown hair still loose from last night. “What’s this?” I ask, setting my bag down near the table. “Well, I know you have that test during your Spanish class today,” she starts, moving her spatula to scrape eggs onto a small plate.…
