The Scars: A Fictional Narrative

Improved Essays
Sounds of driftwood crashed from below. The scars were but a memory of times before. Would they bring change? Or would they bring more. Their eyes, locked; gazing to another. I, of course, pondered this from afar. The two lovers spoke beyond my recognition. It was obvious he loved her more than her love for herself. Romance wasn’t his forte, but they made due.
A walk back from the pier, they did to meet I. “Cheerful, and graceful... in love” I thought. It was the beginning, but she knew it was also the end. My phone rang not so long after. His tears couldn’t be more present. The stress of love collapsed the knot in her mind. And it wasn’t his fault. Though he thought otherwise.
Through the pain, as he was still my friend, managed to inform

    With her best friend Ann Stoker she would also hang around the Fleet at Portsmouth and Southsea. (A photograph of the two, both inexplicably in boiler suits, shows a hefty young Monica not displayed to best advantage next to the more petite Ann.) They had to avoid her brother Bunny if he was in port and likewise her Uncle Gerald, brother of Henry, who was captain of the battleship Repulse. With another friend she used to drive up to Oxford and Cambridge, a wind-up gramophone in the back of her Sunbeam Special sports car playing Jeepers Creepers, and go to balls and parties in students' rooms and be very jolly. One night, somewhat the worse for wear, Monica somehow got her long-nosed Sunbeam tightly jammed in the driveway at number 52 and was unable to back it out after sobering up.…

    and she said to him “you tell anyone of what happened tonight then you will end up in the same spot as your friend.” He didn’t say anything but continued to cry. She turned around and told him to stay in the room and clean up but just as she was turning around she gripped the candle holder in her hand and said “Actually I can’t jeopardize everything because of an inadequate and weak man.” With these words she forced the candle holder hard against the side of his head and a grand scream came out but then no more crying nor screams. She dropped the candle holder and reached for the…

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    The Boys Will Not Like You I remember back in early 2010, when I first began my journey as a debutante I would wear my makeup a little darker than what was okay and dress a little more tomboyish than what was acceptable for a lady presenting herself to society. This upset my mentor, who always dressed nice, always had perfectly fixed hair, and looked as if she walked off the cover of Elle magazine. One day, my mentor uttered the words, “Honey, if you look like that and continue to act un-lady like, the boys will not like you.” “The boys will not like you,” she’d only say that to me and I learned it as, “you are you, the boys will not like you.”…

    Final Assessment: Diaries Entries - Jasper HARTE 1st Diary Entry: Ma’s perspective (His first encounter with the Little Chinese Seamstress) Explanation Paragraph: As the warped wooden door creaked open, we were exposed to a mass of informality, splintering wooden beams, laden with dust that had gathered over time, watched cautiously over us, as we ambled wearily into the unknown. The distant murmur of a sewing machine resonated, as it reached our ears, humbled by this subjection to primitive technology that subtly reminded us of a distant world of inquiry.…
