Nightstand

via email for GeoVarri’s Facebook account and re-logged back into it with the new password. She logged onto GeoVarri’s page with her personal laptop. GeoVarri and her parents were going para sailing for the day, so she left her cell phone on the nightstand. KaVarri erased the emails confirming the password changes on GeoVarri’s laptop. She also re-logged into Facebook with the cell phone, and erased the email notifications regarding the changes on there as well. The next thing that KaVarri…

Beep, beep, beep, beep. Instinctively, my arm reaches across the nightstand to press snooze on my alarm clock. My mind and body nearly begins to return to slumber before I remember the reason I needed to wake. I hastily climb out of bed and dress myself in my green and brown camo shirt and overalls. The excitement begins to flow through my veins as I prepare for a trip to my grandpa’s farm. Papa Tom’s farm happened to be the perfect place to build and set up our hunting hut. My hunting hut…

The memory of 126 Riverside Drive will always stay with me. The concrete in front of the apartment overlooking the park is separated into squares and covered in old gum and the occasional chalk doodle. You go up and stand on the single black concrete step and look up at the black marble and the silver 126. You walk in the clear glass door and walk onto the faded tile floor that goes from the bottom of the few lonely stairs through the next door and to the elevator. You feel the cold from the…

It’s 1:30 a.m., awakened by the sound of glass breaking, she immediately dials 911. She rushes to get her .38 caliber revolver from the drawer of her nightstand to protect herself. She frantically searches inside the drawer, but she cannot find it. Gun control laws no longer allow her to own one; leaving her fate to the criminal. The 2nd Amendment to the United States Constitution adopted on December 15, 1791, protects the right of people to keep and bear arms (Brooks, Chad. "The Second…

I saw that my mom truly loves what she does, providing people with beautiful things she designed with their interests and needs in mind. When she sits at the drawing board, she imagines the person using that dining table, desk, or nightstand. She considers what they might do for a living and how much they may pay for it. She thinks of the functions they may need by putting herself in their place. Maybe they need to seat a huge family at Christmas or need something special to hold…

half-hour whether or not to go out and become a part of the mouse-like chatter. As far as we knew, someone was having a surprise birthday party. We bet each other money to see who would do it first. Balor was fidgeting with a flashlight on my grandpa’s nightstand, “Come on! What are you, scared? This is our family! If something was wrong, they would surely tell us.” Balor would say, just to try and make me give in. When I finally did, all I remember is walking down the dark hallways towards…

the other side of my front door. I heard a loud and unfamiliar male voice in the distance. I thought it was a dream until this loud and unfamiliar male voice got louder. Out of habit, the first thing I did was look to my left at the clock on the nightstand, it read 6:42 a.m. “Ma’am, I am not going to ask you again. Get up, put your hands up and come out of the room slowly.” I jerked my head towards the direction the voice seemed to be coming from and to my surprise I was met by the end of a…

The apartment wasn’t too bad. It wasn’t like the house he used to live in before his parents divorced, but it wasn’t bad. He had his own room despite it being considerably smaller than the one he had at home. At least it’s bigger than his younger sister’s. It seems unspoken, although, that when his older brother returns from university during the next break, that he’ll have to share with him. Just for the time being. “Just for the time being.” His mother says as she places a box filled with…

My alarm goes off on Monday morning around 6:30 AM and I usually turn it off and will sleep until about 8:00 AM. As soon as I get up, I let my dog, Bear, out the front door and go into the kitchen to get coffee. After I have poured my cup of coffee I go into the restroom and wash my face and get my straightener turned on. While my straightener is turned on, I let my dog inside, give him a biscuit or two and pull my hair in a ponytail to do my makeup. I start to put my make up on, starting with…

family. He bent over the sink and splashed his face with water, even after drying his face off his face was still wet from tears. Herald had been planning this, he knew what he was going to do and he was ready. He left the bathroom, went to his nightstand opened the door, got it out, he closed the door and went back to the bathroom. He heard Mary say, “Are you okay?” Herald did not respond. Mary got out of bed and started toward the bathroom door “Herald?” she asked worried. When she opened the…
