Did You See Me Coming?

deserted towns. Let me tell you about something that is going on right here in your town of Memphis, Tennessee. It all started one day at work. First, Drew a coworker said: “Today is a the big day!” when he walked into the lab “We have to go out to Voodoo Village to finish up our surveillance on mosquitos.” This made me very nervous because when I remember in my home country of Haiti, Voodoo is a serious subject, nothing to play with. Though the thought of going to this place made me…

Mexican was difficult because people would say offensive comments without realizing it. Such as " Wow! You don't look black!" , "You look nothing like your mother!" , or "Your hair is nice considering the mix. School is not difficult, but it was not easy for me because many ignorant people but as "How come you don't act or talk black?", knowing that I grew up in the same culture and city as they did. Trying to be put into a black spectrum or the Mexican spectrum well growing up even now is my…

guess you could say we were getting pretty serious. We talked about having a family and living together. But, it did not seem right. I felt like I was missing something. Someone. It was Kelly. She was the one, well what I thought was the one. When Kelly and I first met, it was on a cruise in the Bahamas. She looked amazing. The red dress, and her blonde hair flowing down her back. I could not stop looking at her, she was beautiful. I finally got the gut to ask her for her name. She told me, and…

Have you ever been in a car accident? Let me tell you, every accident is different. No-body knows how an accident will happen or the outcome of an accident. All accidents are defined by the severity. All accidents impact a person. Nobody understands an impact of an accident on a person until it happens to them. I remember the first time I got in a car accident. I was as scared as a little kid when it happened. I was only a sophomore. I had just got my license two months before my accident.…

the oldest trees in the world and it is always a bit foggy. I see her, she’s following me. I start running and then I trip over a…

Bobby not Billy. Her and Bobby were good friends, they both didn’t see it coming. In the year 1965 nobody cared what you did so Billy decided to take things further. ”She’s going to be mine even if they don’t like it or not,” Billy decided he was going to fight Bobby for Alexandria. So that day during passing period he found Bobby then told him to step up to fight him. “Um man are you ok, I’m not going to fight you what’s wrong are you ok,” Billy punched Bobby right in the face. That made Bobby…

The Blue Mask By:Brenden Blakley I was terrified. There was a test coming up in math class. I was sure I was going to fail. I had not studied at all last night. I walked nervously down the hall to Mrs.Vessar’s class. I know I will fail but I still try my best in class. The teacher calls my name ”Tera.” to get the test I start the test with sweat dribbling down my face. I answer the first question, 10x + 3y = 24 - 3 - 4x. The answers seem to come easily but I feel like I’m missing each…

I did not know that I was about to hear the words that would change my life forever. It was just a regular Friday afternoon in August at around 3:30 pm. My dad had just come back from the Kellogg Eye Center; he was getting his eyes checked because he had a lesion leak making a cloud over his left eye. When he and my mom got home, he was lying on the couch looking very sad. I went into the kitchen and said “Wow, he looks really sad”. "Well, Hannah, he has stage four lung cancer, and he will…

into a harsh one. “He is coming to get you.” “Run, run, save your life and run as fast as you can.” “What’s happening, who is coming to get me?” “You ask too many questions. Just run and save your life” “Life, you do not make any sense to me. I have done nothing wrong to anyone. Then why should I run and I don’t see anyone chasing me?” “Do you trust me?” “Trust, Are you serious? I hardly know who you are.” “ If you want to live then follow my lead, I don 't think you would like to perish…

This is about me realizing that life does end and people do die and that we do not live forever. From the beginning I always thought that people never died and that we would always be together, but that thought came to an end real fast. Yes, people do die, but I never thought it would happen to my family. We were all fine and dandy no health issues no drama, the perfect family. But then it happened, I was not born yet, but my sister was and she said “that it was the hardest time for the family…
