Monologue

Zzzzzzzz zzz zzzzzzzz zzz… Leah sluggishly woke up from her slumber to the sound of her phone vibrating against her wooden side table. Still bleary eyed, she picked up the phone. There was some muffled voices that she could not distinguish. "Hello?" Leah mumbled The voices stopped, and all that could be heard was heavy breathing. In her dazed and confused state she asked, “Who is this?” No reply. The familiarity of the situation hits Leah, as she starts to come to her senses and sees the dull…

“I tried my best not do anything bad, Aunt Clara,” Lennie answered with grief. “Mhm, you say that, but ya still do it anyway. Do you really think George’ll still be with your knuckle head? All he did was be nice to ya and now you’re still causin’ trouble over n’ over again. He could’ve been doing so many things if it weren’t for you. He could’ve lived happily himself, but he stayed to take care of you, and yet here you are now. You’d be the one giving George hell, he’s the one who takes your…

There was once a young woman named Alice who lived with her family in a small cabin in the woods. No one ever came to visit them, as they lived far away from the nearest town and seldom made friends. However, one day their situation changed dramatically. Alice was looking out the window wistfully when she saw a cloud of dust approaching on the road far off in the distance. A rider was approaching, their steed kicking dirt everywhere as it raced directly towards her across the rough soil. Soon…

Hello this is Esther, I just want to set the record straight with everyone. I am not just a pretty face. I am a strong independent woman. I am not just a body. I have a mind to. A lot of people think that just because I’m pretty, I am stupid. That is not true. I am a caring compassionate woman. I think for myself and I have good ideas. I feel like Mordechai doesn’t really cares about who I am on the inside. For example, he only thinks of me for my beauty, like the time when my parents died…

I was sound asleep in my bed when I heard something break downstairs. I pounced out of bed and grabbed a ChapStick as my weapon. I’m not quite sure what I thought a ChapStick was going to do to a robber but whatever. I was sprinting down the stairs, but I tripped over Crinkles the cat and went tumbling head over heels to the bottom. The ChapStick flew out of my hand when I went airborne and hit me straight in the nose while I was laying there. I got up quickly, pretending that falling down the…

For the third day in a row, I wake up to a clogged nose, a throbbing head, and a sore throat. It’s 6:00 in the morning, and I can barely open my eyes, let alone sing. I quickly drink a cup of strong, fragrant tea, which warms my throat and temporary clears my sinuses, preparing me for the long hour of singing ahead. Once a week, in the quiet, early hours of the morning, my a cappella group assembles to practice and perfect our songs. In a cappella music, the voices have no instrumental…

I was running my umbrella kept catching the wind and slowing me down. That thing kept following me… At least the umbrella protected me from that creature’s slobber… I started to cry racing along the empty street. I wish I hadn't tried to run away… At least not today… I had gotten into a fight with my older brother, My only caretaker. The rain had been falling down and the plump drops of water dripped onto the pavement bursting open and i just wanted to burst with anger. Just like a raindrop. So…

Title: Virals Author: Kathy Reichs Text type: Novel Name: Sharon Louie I admired the character Victoria Brennan in the novel Virals written by Kathy Reichs because Victoria was a brave character who showed she was willing to risk her life to save others “I’m getting Coop out of here”. Victoria reminds me there is always someone who will put others first rather than themselves in this world. An example of when Victoria was brave was when she decided to save Coop stuck in a ten feet pit by…

Bwwweeeooou! Bwwweeeooou! Bwwweeooou! The blaring tones sounded snapping me out of my reverie like a rubber band that snaps back after stretching too far. Groggy, I hear dispatch mutter out, “ninety-two year old female; cardiac arrest; CPR in progress,” my heart skips. I get up, and run out of the watch room and into the back of the rescue. My preceptor bursts through the rear door, “we have a code; get ready.” We high-tail it out of the fire station with full lights and sirens. My heart is…
