False alarm

day starts at precisely 9:05; meaning he has exactly eighteen minutes to get up, at least try to look decent, and get his ass halfway across campus. He had stayed up to some ungodly hour to work on an animation assignment and forgotten to set his alarm when he actually went to bed again. He should really focus in class rather than look at memes; oh well. Or, he could just say no and skip, and instead opt to sleep a few more hours. After all, in college you’re not required to be in class,…

It felt like a bulldozer was trying to bring the walls down. Along with entire buildings!. The flames were good for about another several hours. There was a vent installed scratches were heard. Even John's truck alarm had gone off again. Terrified of the noise the clerks rushed out to check his store. He returns in despair screaming “my roof is gone! Shadows flickered around each candle. “ Are you sure this is our best option? Shouldn't we keep running away rather…

“BEEP!,BEEP!,” My alarm clock screamed as it informed me of the time. I rolled over and shut it off, I even contemplating going back to bed, but i remembered why i was up so early. I flipped my covers off my body and got out of bed. I went to my dress to grab cloths for the day. “Mason we are leaving in 10 mins.” I heard my mom shout as i finally finished fumbling with my belt. I ran out to the kitchen with my duffle bag over my shoulder, grabbed apple, threw my shoes on, and got into the car…

I woke to the sound of my alarm clock going off, “Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.” It was 7:00 in the morning; the usual time I get up to go to school, but like usual I slam on the snooze button and sleep for another five minutes. After hitting the snooze button three times I finally got up. Today is the day, our first doubleheader of the season is against Rockford. The coach is starting me at left field and it is my first game ever starting in high school game. I’m a Sophomore at Atwood High School; my…

I woke up to the rapid buzzing of my phone on my nightstand. I grabbed it with haste as I sat up in my bed. I struggled to read the bold text on my phone screen as the bags under my eyes formed gradually. The text read, “HEY, MIKEY, I JUST FOUND THIS INCREDIBLE BARBECUE PLACE.” It was 2:00am in the morning on a Tuesday. I replied with a congratulations and went back to sleep imagining the sweet barbecue sauce in my mouth. That next morning, I woke up and went to school. After school I had agreed…

As I wake up to the blinding, beating, scorching sun on my face I hear the clashing of plates and a distant yet familiar rhythm coming from what I assume is the kitchen. I groggily attempt to grab my phone to check the time when I clumsily slam my phone onto the floor. Scrambling out of bed I pick up my phone only to figure out it’s 9:17 in the morning. I sneakingly walk to the kitchen barefooted to see what all the commotion is when my mother quickly catches my not so sneaky footsteps and yells…

Beep! Beep! Beep! As I twist and turn in bed and glimpse down at the luminous phone in my pitch black bedroom. While picking my phone up, I see that Tristan messaged me and said "Get up! I'll be there in 5 minutes to pick you up! The waves are firing!", I instantly look towards the clock to see that I overslept. I immediately fling myself out of bed and rush into my still dark bathroom as I quickly brush my teeth and put my bathing suit on. I run over to the window to see if Tristan is here yet,…

Chapter Two Homework Questions 1. It is my opinion that the PACE Act was necessary in light of the abuses taking place, like in the case of the Guildford Four. Although it is not clear how big of an effect the Act has of the reduction of false confessions, it has at the very least reduced the use of abusive tactics within the interrogation room. The argument is however, that these tactics have just been moved outside the interrogation room. I think it can also be argued that the Pace Act…
