Heart sounds

o“Weeee-oooo-weee-oooo-weee-ooooo”, the sudden sounds of screaming ambulance sirens, as I try to open my eyes to realize what was going on around me and who were these people in these white uniforms operating on me. oThe needles sprinted through my veins. o√My left eye was a sealed shut plastic bag full of air, and my mouth was crying of blood. √The pain was a truck running over me. *After being in a coma like a hibernating bear in the winter, I was now alert, responsive, and alive! ●This…

The sound of metal clicking into place and the black straps of the harness tightening around me immediately makes my stomach tighten with anxiety. I frantically look over my shoulder to see my uncle and Heather, holding video cameras and smiling wide with anticipation. He says something I don’t quite catch through the sound of heavy rain; people chattering amongst each other; and of course my own nervous thoughts.

“Who’s there?” Sam shouted into the darkness that lay in front of her. She waited for an answer, but could not hear anything over the sound of her heart beating. The Collins’ carpeted floor cushioned Sam’s feet. Even though she could see nothing, Sam knew this house well enough to know where she was. She could register what surrounded her without actually being able to see. Sam knew the way out from her current location, but she needed to find the boys first. Surrounded by complete silence she…

favorite part to a song, so we all play along differently. To a musician, groove is making sure not all instruments follow the same same rhythm, but still sound great in the process. Now, use the example mentioned, the Judas Priest song, and imagine how it would sound if all instruments and the vocals were following the same notes and rhythm.

Hearing the muffled sound of guns firing and seeing everything in a shade of yellow has been a normal Saturday morning for me since I was about ten. The day starts off with a drive to the Los Altos Rod & Gun Club or the Sunnyvale Rod & Gun Club with my dad.

I am usually the only girl at the shooting range, and I am not the only one to notice. Whenever I step up to take…

was so that you could compare yourself—whether it be consciously or unconsciously— to me or because you had nothing better to ask and just enjoy the sound of your own voice. I certainly do not mean to sound rude when I say that I don’t enjoy listening to others blabber on for an excessive amount of time about themselves. And I do not mean to sound rude when I say that I don’t enjoy watching others act like they are engrossed in what I have to say, when they so obviously don’t care one bit— I’m…

An electrical charge stimulates the nerves that are spread all over the brain creating a neural symphony in it.
