Green room

stars. They burn fast and bright, then for no real reason, or for reasons we can’t understand, fade forever. They say space might be infinite but that means infinite stars, too, if you think about it. Some have to collide. Some have to burn out to make room for the next. It’s freshman year and my mom helps me move cross-state from Colorado to Nebraska, unload my stuff in giant rolling laundry carts into McGloin Hall, my home for the next nine months. McGloin is supposed to be just for…

There was a fine layer of dust over the furniture in the room. There were even footprints where i came in. I hoped I wasn’t too late. I ran my hands along the chest of drawers. Nope, nothing there. I walked over to the bed. A spider scuttled out of the doona. I shivered. No one has been here in days. I went into the kitchen. Almost at once I stopped. There were footprints in the dust. My heart started beating fast. I stepped into the room. It all happened so fast. A pair of hands grabbed my…

The upstairs of the house is my favorite. At the top of the stairs is the useless air conditioner that has never worked properly. I was forced to take naps on the soft bed in the first room. The next room has green carpet that resembles diarrhea. There used to be a sewing machine and bunk bed in the room until she threw them out. My grandmother’s miniscule office with teal walls hold more bookcases full of paper. During each visit, the heat of the poorly air-conditioned house clings to me as…

Poughkeepsie Day School. To begin my mind floats to age three, where the mess began. I can still see the sun peaking in; it lightly brushing the creamy yellow walls. The stained white rug that had been lived in, and turned into a spotty brown rag. The green, luscious wood was my playland. My shiny black dog sat on the moldy deck; I remember pressing my little hand against her shiny, hot fur. “How…

Lenny, and Carl. Johnny is wearing jeans and a black t-shirt and has green paint on his hands and fingers. Lenny is wearing jean shorts and a red and blue long sleeve t-shirt with black paint on his hands and fingers. Carl is wearing a grey Under Armour shirt and Under Armour shorts and he wears glasses. “Lets check the crime scene” said Fred. At the crime scenes they founded green paint and black paint on the desk. ”Johnny has green paint on his fingers and Lenny also has black paint on his…

lovely place to be taking showers regularly. There was also a nice little pervert window looking out of the bathroom. Exiting the bathroom we finally made it out to the north side of the living room, which housed the chimney and one set of two windows on the west wall. The southern half of the living room, which my mother would use as an impromptu bedroom, had a window set on the south wall and another on the west wall. The hallway back to the kitchen was found on the east wall, and the faint…

before we get to my office, I want to go over the meeting room. The meeting room is in the middle of the floorplan. The four corners and the halves of each side will provide the main support of the whole entire office. This is a concept that leaves the office floor plan with many more design options. Since virtually the rest of the office can essentially be non-load bearing walls, things can be changed around if need be. The main meeting room will have all sides dressed with glass, no visible…

The room itself was grand and ancient, with walls of rough hewn stone, polished granite floors, and a ceiling as high as ten men. There were eight long tables, the shortest on a raised dais along the far wall, and seven more set orthogonal to the first and extending to the entry. Sheaves of wheat and sprays of spring blooms adorned the walls, and cornucopias spilled fruits, nuts and candies onto each table. There were dancers, at least a dozen of them, draped loosely in silks of gold and rich…

windowed wall disintegrated from the events of the world. The single bed relaxes alone in the corner of this confined space. The small abandoned bed, with its childish bright blue duvet, faded from time, neatly made mocking itself and the rest of the room with its emptiness. The dark wooden bookcase, filled with torn, old half eaten storybooks, half rotting away infested with dark radiation enlarged bugs. The small five-drawer bookcase sits inside the wardrobe, tucked away unknown…

travel to the emerald city where they were dazzled by its appearance. In this narrative the author uses many strategies to convey his perspective on the emerald city. For example, he includes repetition to introduce the fact that the whole city was green. He also used elaborate description to make sure that the reader understood the picture he was trying to create. The most effective strategy that L. Frank Baum used was repetition. He used this strategy to convey that the city was otherworldly…
