Bones of the head and neck

of the ship, while others clapped in sync with their jumbled steps. Captain Samuel Carlyle took a swig of rum and let out a blissful sigh before slamming his bottle on the table in front of him. He laid back in his chair with arms folded behind his head to gaze at the stars that…

devices used human nature to kill people. Maggots and worms will arrive later and eat the rest of the body. Crows would also come if they found a body in a metal cage hanging in the open. The crows would eat the body until it was dead or until only the bones were left. To explain that, a person would have to sit down in a tub with water while milk and honey would be smothered all of their body. Flies will shortly come around the body and would start to eat them alive because of the sweetness of…

Michael Brooks 4/4/17 ENG 102 International Whaling Argument International whaling has a long history of being dangerous to ocean life. Many people do not realize that it is still a modern issue and has not slowed down. Certain countries like Japan and Norway have a bad reputation for the significant slaughter of whales. Factors such as low numbers and very slow reproduction rate play huge role also. This is causing an uproar in most places of…

him as he gazed down at the girl’s face. Not a single inch of skin had been spared, flesh spotting black, blue, and yellow. Both eyes were swollen shut, the girl’s lip torn and stained with still flowing blood. Her arm had been twisted up and back, bone threatening to scratch through the girl’s skin. Her chest bent inwards, breath rasping as a rib threatened to puncture a lung. The coil turned tighter and tighter, and Michael’s hands shook as his nails pressed into the palm of his hand hard…

Sticks and stones may break their bones. However words, scandals, and sheer hate cannot keep a good team down. I have been a fan of the New England Patriots for a while now and I am in no way tired of supporting the number one team in the American Football Conference. Unfortunately, not everyone feels the same way I do. As great as we may be, there is a team that is on our heels vying for our coveted spot. The Denver Broncos. The topic I chose for my research paper was instinctive once I saw the…

dimly lit name plate that staunchly read “Stanly”. The name seemed so dull to him, and he blamed his mother for the daily reminder of his bleak life. The computer seemed to be the only substance of light in the dark little box he worked. Tired and bone weary Stanly began shutting his computer down packing his briefcase with the seemingly useless papers on his desk. He didn’t even have to think about anything during his day now, just a mindless routine made possible by muscle memory. The amount…

Meringue against Carmen's. I guess I did it too hard, because we both lost a little precious alcohol over the sides of our glasses. The strangers around us probably just assumed I was drunk. But actually? "You are hopelessly clumsy." Carmen shook her head, but she couldn't even pretend to be mad at me. "And, really? What's your plan?" "I was hoping you'd help with that part." My friend laughed. She glanced at her date, Myka, as if to warn me against painting her as a seductress…

She filled my head with thoughts of warmth and passion. She numbed of the pain of my clotted thighs. She worked miracles. We walked hand in hand up the dark checkered stairs of the institute, never stopping, even though I felt I should’ve. A nurse guided us through…

not require to do what others expect from him or her, not even what they expect from themselves, because every person creates their own lives. Until the moment when men accept that is not only body, because it is much more than a simple structure of bones, muscles and body fluids. Until that moment men will be able to accept the here and now like Dan did. Every person is in charge of its own life and creating its own destiny. You can chose to be a peaceful…

Wollstonecraft died giving birth. Mary Wollstonecraft’s doctor was forced to remove some of the placenta manually but with unwashed hands, Mary developed an infection. She died a week later in an incredibly painful, but not uncommon way (Sturgis). Not only was it likely that children should die but the risk of having children was high to begin with. To the readers who have more than likely experienced an infant death to read of Collier’s advice for killing off “unwanted” children it would be a…
