Dead Man Walking

my mom was going to go left, my dad was going to go forward, and I was going to go left. As I was walking to the left I kept feeling like someone was following me, I knew that it was probably just my imagination but I couldn 't stop thinking about it. After walking for about 5 minutes I came to a dead end. As I was turning around I saw a shadow that looked exactly like a person. I was walking back towards the way that I came and turned right. After I turned I felt a shooting pain in the…

The Woman on Wendover Road - Draft It was a foggy October night, and Martin O’Neil was driving back from work to his new home in the countryside. Fully focused on his driving, and straining his eyes to see the street names in the darkness, Martin was startled a loud ringing noise. I glanced at my phone that I had previously thrown onto the passenger seat of my car, curious to see who was calling me so late in the night. I was quite surprised to see my beloved wife’s name on the caller ID, as…

were walking to the gym around the block like they do every day. Jake the goofball tripped over a rock. Tony laughed at him while Jake was getting up. Jake was annoyed so he ran ahead of Tony to get back at him. Tony didn’t really care. Then, he saw someone out of the corner of his eye come out of an alley and follow him. He disregarded it at first thinking it was a random person but then he quickly became paranoid. Tony took random turns to try to lose the guy, but then he ended up at a dead…

wall stains and an endless dripping sound in the background. Lewis, intrigued, jumped over the small counter and went through the door dividing the front and back rooms. At the same time a suspicious looking man walked out of one of the back doors with a caution sign hanging from it. The man quickly pulled off his mask and asked “Can I help you…

The blue midnight sky was glistening with infinite stars that lay above my slanted head as I watched the twilight moon above me. Glancing down my hand, catching sight of the time gave me the realization that this was actually happening. Months of preparation, years of mental training and the day had come faster than ever. My mind and heart were trapped in the though and mission of protecting and defending my country, the country that gave me everything and was everything. I was 22, they call me…

wondered off and saw her too far away from home. When she realize she was too far she began to walk back towards her house then she steps on a dead man face on a mistake. She later then realize that the man got hung by the tree she was around because his head was in one spot while his body was in another. The plow line that was in the soil was what made me think the man was hung. In paragraph 5 would be described as foreshadowing because the author gave a sign of what was coming next in the…

Dead. They were dead. The news of death travels fast here, but I’ve never seen it celebrated with joy. Even though my friends are happy about it, I can’t help wonder ‘what about Jo-jo, her parents died what about her?’ Jo-jo doesn’t talk to anyone, trust me I’ve tried so many times. All she does is look ahead. I know why though, she’s afraid of something. I just don’t know what. I was joyful today though, it’s the day of her parents funeral. I know it sounds messed up, but Jo-jo will be coming…

I'm getting closer and closer to my fate. I don't know why I let myself get into this. As I see his midnight black tinted windows coming towards me my prepaid phone is buzzing off the charts because the GPS tracker the kids had put under bumper. His car is gaining speed closer, and closer. I had bought the phone earlier at the crappy Walmart while the annoying lady behind me wouldn't and couldn't control her kids. I was distracted. Then, I realized I had thrown my receipt away for the phone.…

My father once told me that in order to become a man you must go through some obstacles in life. As I look to the north I can see that this is going to be the biggest obstacle I will face! The clouds got darker and darker by the minute. I thought it was just me but my friend ,Howard, saw it too. I blinked twice a whirl of air hit my face and all I hear is “TORNADO”,! I ran and got my jacket and emergency backpack, while getting out the door. We decided to head east because that was the safest…

mind was everywhere. A nauseous headache moved in. Then a tall man with light grey hair opened a glass door to where I dread to go inside. My hands were sweaty, as I walked down the hallway with the red-velvet carpet underneath my feet, tan walls surrounding me, and the smell of the building was overwhelmed with death. I didn’t know what to do I started backing up. I couldn't do it. The line of sorrow was long and doleful. I kept walking with heavy feet. My body started to tremble unbearably…
