long waits. So the two of them made their way into a shaded backway street and tried to figure out where Sanji would be. S/O let out a small sigh, the heat was still awful even in the shade. Luffy’s eye looked over them and noticed little beads of sweat dripping from their neck towards their chest, his eyes looking after the liquid. He swallowed hard, finding this to be a really bad time for his pants to feel tighter. Stupid body. “S/O.” his whisper nearly sounded like a whimper as he pushed…
From what I have read in “ The Mind’s Eye”, I think that every blind person’s experiences are different. The author uses John Hull, Zoltan Torey, and Sabriye Terberken as examples, the three have a drastically different experience when it comes to their inner eyes. Sacks says that the visual cortex or the inner eye is what gives you mental pictures of what things look like in your head. To explain, a person can picture what a relative or peer looks like, without having to see them because you…
“Where are you?” Ginny asked the empty air for the tiger-shaped pendant. When Jennifer Shapiro became Ginny St. Claire, the pendant, the memory, was the only thing she carried between the lives. Holding on to the pendant was the only time she felt like she was pretending to be Ginny. “Ugggghhh.” Ginny picked up the closest appliance, a toaster, and threw it across the tiny cage of RV. The toaster smashed on the wall over the bed. “I am Ginny St. Claire, not the useless Jennifer Shapiro,” she…
If at this moment, the jewelry boxes and countless other silver objects of individuals were looked at, each person would have at least one (or up to 25%) item with surface tarnish, making them black and unappealing. Most of these items are valuable family heirlooms or pieces of jewelry that hold special memories for an individual. These beautiful pieces full of history are discarded in the back of jewelry boxes because they are tarnished, flawed, and harmful. Personally, jewelry was given as a…
About three inches wide and two inches long, it’s kind of hard to believe that something so small could hold such a special place in my heart. When I was a sophomore in highschool my grandfather passed away. He practically raised my cousins and I. We were extremely close. After his death my mom went through his stuff with my grandmother, and they found an old work ID. They decided I should have it. The top of the ID reads “The West indies Sugar CO. LTD Frome”. Before coming to the United States…
magnifying glass and roast all those ants alive. One, two, three...how long would it take to rid the world of all those ants? How many magnifying glasses would you need? “Mr. Pierce?” “I heard you the first time...and it’s Daniel” Out of the corner of his eye, Daniel watched as the seventy-something-year-old man squirmed in his seat. Everyone did that around him lately. Dr. Randolf tightened his grip on the clipboard, fiddled with his green pen, and flashed a relaxed smile. “We only have an…
I sat in the dim lit laboratory waiting for the computer monitor to display the chromatogram of the sample that I had injected into the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). I knew the peak chromatogram should come at the thirteenth minute, and if it did, the ophthalmic formulation which had become an axial part of my life over the past many months will have an added chance to become a drug product of the future. Or of course, I might just get a flat line or a confusing mix of…
hyperendemic of preventable blindness in the world. Trachoma is an ocular infection caused by intercellular parasite Chlamydia trachomatis. It thrives in dirty atmospheres with close proximities since the disease is spread by contact of infected eye and nose discharge through hands, towels and flies. Most of the risk factors include poor hygiene or lack of facial cleanliness, poor access to clean water or water storages, overcrowded households or lack of latrines, and an inadequate sanitation…
Manisha where do I began? I suppose I’m sorry is where to start. I am so sorry. Since, I don’t have your number I do not know how to contact you because you seem not to speak to me in person. I said a lot of things last year, I made a lot of mistakes and in the end, it was down to me being weak, alone, scared and hopeless... I blame myself for every moment that caused you pain. For this, I'm truly sorry... I know I've said that word a thousand times but out of everyone in this life that I've…
natural light ash brown hair delicately landed on mid neck, but the three bangs laid on his forehead; it color was different, it was blue serene sea color with bright white highlight that look like spot of an animal coat. His mid light brown eyes gaze at the sculptures softly with the look of devotion but also a sadness in the…
