Light

was only 2 o’clock in the morning. Palms sweating with blood and a delicate heart that is fighting with itself to continue beating. Everything was a disaster. A faint Siren rang through the hushed neighborhood occupied by 30 small houses and street lights that lit up the dim streets and sidewalks. The smell of death filled Myrtle Avenue and arose from the weightless body. Death was as loud as the laced weed the drug dealers sold outside of the corner store on 28th street. “Shit” Officer James…

The Forest Cult It’s late, I’m running. Sprinting away from something don’t know the likes of. At this anonymous forest, heart pumping, feet are numb, I feel like my body is about to get annihilated. I check my phone “Wow, it’s already 2 am”. My phone battery is drained to the last bit, I fall into a deep sleep, and suddenly, all hope has disappeared. November of 2009: “Hey,” she says waking me from my half-asleep and half-awake state “Want a drink?”. “Sure,” I say, signaling a bartender to get…

A beam of sunlight trickled into the room, somehow managing to find a gap on the thick black curtains hanging dangerously on the wall. It hit my skin, burning with excruciating pain. I pulled my hand out the way, noticing how pale it had become. I could already feel the thirst for blood developing inside, and my heartbeat was all I could focus on. The steady pumping of blood around my veins, so... I sat upright before I could finish the thought. I ran my tongue along the top of my teeth, feeling…

Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and light (electromagnetic radiation) (Crouch & Skoog, 2007). It is often phrased as the light of knowledge (Reusch, 2013). In the past, spectroscopy started by the study of visible light dispersed according to its wavelength by a prism (Anon., n.d.). Now, with the knowledge of light having both wave-like and particle-like characteristics, with given frequency or wavelength of light is associated with radiative energy called photon.…

heavy body and fogged over memories must have been a result from the deep slumber. I looked out the window and realized that the that earth was not in sight; inside the control room connected to my room, a counting device showed a sign of several light years. I assumed the device ought to be the distance of our travel. After I investigated around my room, and nothing important; I decided that my best chance to search the ship to find clues would be as soon as possible. After I navigated the…

This is a realistic painting which appears to be in a forest type setting with an opened space. There were several trees placed in the scene showing off their beautiful colors of light and dark green. The trees were very tall, appearing to almost touch the skies if looking up. Some were aligned around a circular light brown path along the ground, appearing to be dirt while the rest of the trees aligned themselves along the shape of the small stream. The sun was shining down towards the left of…

I will never forget the evenings spent waiting by the dark cliffs, watching the last rays of dying golden light grasping at the tips of waves, the rustling grass, my clothes, my hair and my face as their source sunk beneath the sky. I would quietly observe the deep blue suffocate the sun, and wonder why things are. I would question why our world came to exist and why the sun would set every day, only to climb back up into the sky. I couldn’t let myself fall back to those lazy days, sitting on…

clock balanced with the intense yellow of the floor help to illustrate how brightly the room was filled with artificial light while still making the viewer feel that no natural light is entering the room. Caillebotte uses color very differently from Van Gogh’s painting but is just as effective in portraying his message to the viewer. Instead of filling the room with artificial light, the room is lit softly by the sun passing…

maintain its shape and protects the eye from injury. The black dot one can see in the middle of the iris is known as the pupil. The pupil is in charge of letting light into the eye. Therefore if the eye needs more light to see the pupil will allow more light to come in and if less light is needed the pupil will only allow a certain portion of light to come in. The colored part of the eye that people are most attracted to is known as the…

he “saw the lightnings playing on the summit of Mont Blanc in the most beautiful figures. The storm appeared to approach rapidly”, and discovers his creation standing in the distance (49). The imagery used in this scene is used to literally shine a light on the murderer of Frankenstein’s brother when “a flash of lightning illuminated the object…its gigantic stature, and the deformity of its aspect, more hideous than belongs to humanity, instantly informed me that it was the wretch… to whom I…
