Yes, he remembered it perfectly. He had uttered a mad wish that he himself might remain young, and the portrait grow old; that his own beauty might be untarnished, and the face on the canvas bear the burden of his passions and his sins; that the painted image might be seared with the lines of suffering and thought, and that he might keep all the delicate bloom and loveliness of his then just conscious boyhood. Surely his prayer had not been answered? Such things were impossible. It seemed…

Darkness. That's all I could feel; all I could see. Then suddenly, it was light. I had always had these random black-outs as a child. The doctors always told me and my mother not to worry about it. When I finally came all the way back into the now, I was at home on my oh-so-familiar street. I looked at my wrist to see what time it was. 9:02 am. I had to be at work in less than an hour. I started to walk down the street, seeing all of my neighbors bustling around. Some were leaving for work,…

Although many relatives can fall under these categories, Some people in my family just happen to stick out. The clown of my mom's side is my cousin Jermaine, but we call him Twin because he had a twin Brother who passed in 2003. Through the pain of loosing his twin brother he still goes through the act to be the family comedian.One reason I would say he is a clown because a clown's purpose is to entertain and when your around him you cant do anything other than laugh. Even though he doesn't wear…

were nicely carved with many scenes and figures. The scenes that were carved on the gateways symbolized narrative scenes. Although the gateways were carved with many scenes and figures, none of the scenes that were made ever depicted the Buddha in human form. The Buddha was symbolized by emblems of royalty. The Great Stupa at Sanchi is made of rubble. The stupa sits on a hill and is surrounded by an abundant amount of trees and also several other small stupas. Even though a stupa is considered a…

Her grey-blue eyes rimmed with red stared out of the window, watching the trains chug passed as the rain fell. It was as if the sky was crying, crying for her. She saw her reflection in the window staring back at her. She was weak and scared; worry had infected her thoughts and spread through her veins as if it were venom. A single tear rolled down her cheek, staining the envelope that she was grasping onto, turning her cold knuckles pale, pushing it to her chest. The fear of what the truth held…

Hypatía Belicia Cabral, the Walking Volcano Hypatía Belicia Cabral “the child of Apocalypse” (Diaz 251) was nice to look at, but was not easy to predict what danger she could cause when getting too close. Belicia had the body that could turn every man on when they looked at, but nobody knew inside that body was an active volcano waiting to erupt. Belicia looked so luxurious but nobody knew she had an extreme unhappy childhood. Belicia was conceived during the time that her father, Abelard…

One, two, but it wasn’t so. The left mirror was smashed into a spider web of pieces. They lay neglected on the white tile, speckled with a fine red mist, reflecting the white ceiling above. The room seemed to expand. The white playing a trick on the eye. Two steps in and to the left was a white door, open and full of blinding disembodied white flashes from cameras. Every case had to be documented. This was the third in the past two months. Rates were rising. The public would be asking…

glasses and contacts every year or so can be costly. The solution to the problem for glasses-wearers is laser eye surgery. Unfortunately, the surgery is not the most affordable for everyone, ranging from $400 per eye to almost $2,000 per eye. It depends on the clinic, doctor, risk, and other factors. Furthermore, traditional group health insurance does not always cover the cost of laser eye surgery, as it is not considered a necessary procedure. Some plans reimburse a certain amount of money,…

nervous. Whenever a policeman looked at me, my hands sweated, my knees trembled, and my mouth dried—if not for this disguise, I would surely have been caught! I had been watching the police officers for some time now, but something else caught my eye—a man; a man who struck me as…

What things that we have now in the twenty first century were made after this item? Those are the exact thoughts theta when through my mind when I encountered this ancient artifact while walking through the streets of Istanbul, I found myself gazing over this huge object in the window of a small museum. The museums name was La Morue and it was quite famous…
