Eye color

Eventually, I got off at my stop and walked to my apartment. I tried not to make eye contact with individuals because my neighborhood got sketchy after dark. Finally, I arrived at my apartment and ran to the kitchen and ate the salad that I bought from Trader Joes yesterday. I sat down on my couch devouring my salad when I received…

Olivia comes out from the corner on the stage in an eye catching and stunning dress, which is a light pink dress with ruffles on the ends that have coruscating crystals. Olivia’s heels are glistening white with a polished finish. Her toes are wailing and trying to find a comfortable position. Olivia flashes her fabricated teeth that sparkle in the light. As she twirls on the stage showing off her gown, her animated hair follows behind her in with large curls that look like tunnels from a…

Walking through a spacious green field, filled with beautiful dandelions; I see her… but not like I was anything special to her. I feel peaceful; knowing that I saw her for the last time. I closed my eyes and then… darkness. She was too late. In this response paper the stories “The Moths” by Viramontes, and “The Story of an Hour” by Chopin, have both the interesting theme of death or mortality, I will discuss the common theme by using tone, symbolism, and setting of these two stories. The tone…

the same every time. I open my eyes to nothingness, then like a wave breaks upon the sturdy ocean rocks, my psyche is bombarded by the overwhelming presence of wondrous displays: an aurora of light, mingling with the soothing sounds of nature and church bells, and the sweet aroma of cherry blossoms and rain. Nothing can compare. By now, you may be wondering what happened to me. No, I did not faint, undergo surgery, or do any form of narcotics. I simply closed my eyes and allowed myself to fall…

“Why?” I yelled. “Why can’t you just get along!?” I screamed while holding my yellow Winnie The Pooh under my blue ceiling. My parents argued often, I hated it, but that’s all they did. I didn’t like it, I didn’t want it, I felt like I couldn’t do anything. Parents arguing and screaming at each other was a scary event when I was young. When it happened, it affected how I thought, what I thought of my parents, and other people involved. As a child I learned to have the ability to survive tough…

Isaiah Reyes was pushed towards the stage. The six foot boy with piercing jade eyes smirked and staggered towards the stage. His usual tan skin was perspiring and his brown curls were cut away showing off his new Cesar haircut. He was pulled onto stage by his best friend and right hand man Alexander ‘Lex’ Rodriguez. The two boys shared a laugh as they look down at their party. Isaiah…

Settle skyline through a floor-to-ceiling window when his attention was attracted to something else, it was a palm-sized specimen of an endangered mouse-lemur he had recently obtained from Madagascar placed on an elaborate stand on his desk. It had eyes just as bright and lively as it was before, even though it is now only an ornament next to the collector’s desktop. He then continues to marvel at the rest his animal collection occupying almost half of his gigantic office. Ranging from the rare…

neither youth nor age—but such was this man who was one. Surely he was past his thirties—the slight gray of the thinning brown hair hidden beneath a grimed and frayed hat spoke to that—and yet his skin was youthful and held plump cheeks against far-set eyes.…

“It felt like racism” The doors at Liberty University’s fitness, workout center flew open as John walked out, gulping down a bottle of Gatorade. Cold air and harsh winds engulfed him, he sniffled his way out of the hot, sweaty gymnasium. His fitness bag was slung across his left shoulder, he shuffled quickly to the cafeteria, which was located across the massive campus. 5:00pm sharp, his watch read. He marched through the tough winds of Lynchburg, Virginia, his toes were thaw and numb. John was…

The world was pulled into a stop as the noise gotten louder, as if it was screaming into my ear. My eyes widely traveled from everywhere until my body became stone stiff; every attempt to move my limbs failed, even moving my head and neck wouldn't help. What is happening to me? I opened my mouth to release a cry for help, but every attempt jut felt…
