Dead Man Walking

neighborhood residents watch over their community to prevent crime? On a rainy evening of February 26, 2012, a black young male was walking back to his father’s house in Sanford, Florida from a 7-Eleven convenient store with a bag of Skittles and a can of Arizona iced tea. This innocent teenager was reported to the local authorities as a “suspicious young black male” walking around with a grey hoodie by a neighborhood watchman. After reporting him to the police, the neighborhood watchman tried…

At 4:15 detention gets out, but the problem is I wasn’t in detention. Swiftly, I dash down the hallways evading shelves and bookcases, and then again I made the mistake of looking back at the slim menacing figures of Principal Barrage’s deputies chasing after me. “Biffy!” I called out, trying to locate the presence of my friend. I diligently slide myself into a nearby air vent, making sure the deputies didn't see me and sure enough they ran right past the vent without hesitating. The murky vent…

Footsteps began approaching the door, slowly, so subtle. The door is open by a tall, bold man. A split second later the man pulls out a gun. Arnold quickly held the man's hand and pulled out a gun of his own, shooting the man. Arnold runs into the building filled with armed men using the man he shot as a shield. Guards from all directions proceed to take action, but Arnold quickly picks them off with his pistol. One man down, another , another. Arnold rolls towards a guard tackling him to the…

life. I had difficulty standing and walking. I had to get on SSI to have an income. My quality of life was nonexistent. I was always ashamed to walk because of the limp. Even in my adult years, I hated to walk because it was painful and I was ashamed. I did not want to people to consider me a cripple. When my doctors offered me a complete hip replacement, I got excited and could not wait to get the procedure done. I had my surgery February 28, 2013. I am now walking better, pain-free, and able…

in the bathroom. Probably looking for her by now. “Sure.” Sadie says and walks with Brett back to his seat. Leaving Kristen and Jimmy behind to wonder what happened to her. 3 hours later I have been sitting in the same spot for an hour. My phone is dead and I have been asked to go home with people more times than I can count. I guess that’s what happens when you sit on the curb in the city. A car pulls up and I prepare myself for another creep. The car pulls beside me slowly and the window…

to school together. What I didn’t know is in a split second my life would change my life forever. The memories of that day are still a little fuzzy, it feels like mini clips from a movie. I remember it was cloudy and drizzling on that day. I was walking along talking to my friends. Then stopping at a busy intersection waiting for the light to change. I remember my friend Christine bending down to tie her shoe; then the light turning green. I remember my friend Jamie telling me to go ahead so I…

The stressful, no-stop nature of life can consume our consciousness, preventing us from reaching out to help our fellow-man. There are often days I question what happened to kindness and humanity, but someone rises up and shows me that those qualities still are very much alive in our society. I was the fortunate recipient of such an act of kindness from a complete stranger who I will never forget. There were grey clouds in the sky, a chill in the air, and not a ray of sun, as I struggled to…

move my legs and arms to try and stretch and I feel the restraints holding me down to my rickety metal bed. It 's sad how little care they have for a women like myself. A man walks in with a shiny metal tray, full of a meat that looks as old as his face and mashed potatoes that are so watery they almost splash out of the tray. The man places the tray on the ground and grabs the keys from his brown leather belt to unlock the shackles on both of my hands. I rub my wrists as he walks out of the…
