Slippery When Wet

8th and 9th day of February 2011 my life was shattered, never to be built up in the same form again. This story is not to gain your sympathy or pity. This is simply a story about what made me who I am today. I went to sleep that night never realizing when I woke up my life would forever be missing something. I woke up to the noise of men talking. I was scared that someone was in the house. I went to see what was going on. I saw my nana and mom crying. I saw medics come in the door. Chaos. I was…

saying we should go to the doctor bright and early in the morning because there were white, clammy spots deep in the back of my throat that should not be there. The worst was yet to come. The next morning came around and my mom took me to the hospital. When we got there, we off course had to check in at the front desk. After that we sat in the clinic waiting room watching kids play with monster trucks and blocks…

going in the kitchen to get coffee. I heard a silent groan and I got scared. I went and checked what it was and I saw a man who looked like he got burnt. So I slowly went back in my room and woke up my husband Junior. When I woke him up he was confused on why I was so scared. That’s when he sat up and asked me what happened. I froze in a dead because I was too scared. Then I started stuttering because I was trying to explain it. “I I I saw a guy in our backyard and he he looked like he got…

homework and not trying to get ahead on anything, but I just convinced myself against this theory because I just wanted to play my game. I played until about midnight and forced myself to bed. When I woke I was a mess,…

I heard my stomach growl. Grrrrrr… I really need to get something to eat. I started wandering towards a cafeteria. When I got there, there wasn’t anything edible.. At this point, my stomach started eating itself. After a few moments on the floor starving, I heard a rattle behind me. I looked up and I saw some nachos on the table under the light. “Huh, that’s not a trap…

It hurt trying to get up from my groggy sleep. When I felt a sharp pain at my throat I suddenly remembered why I was there. I panicked, trying to get at my throat to protect it as I opened my eyes. I wasn’t able to see well but I could see enough of the man standing over me with bloody hands and a knife. “The anesthesia is wearing off! Inject 12 more cc into her IV.” the man yelled. I fought against my restraints on my wrists. I made one last feeble animal noise before I was unconscious again.…

had long leaves and a thin tree trunk. They looked majestic and beautiful. Palm Trees. I saw white moving creatures flying in the air. They would come towards the water then fly up again. Birds I start going towards the clear water. I stood on the wet squishy sand, inches away from a wave hitting my feet. I listened to the waves crashing up against the shore. I shut out all the other noises and listened to the rhythmic relaxing sound. I start to go into the water. My foot hit the warm water,…

So after 2 days, my humans were in the car driving to the airport. After about 3 hours of sitting at the airport, we were called to board the plane. My human and his humans got onto the plane. When we got into the plane, my human was using me for a while, and I was pretty tired so I was kind of relieved when my battery died and I got some rest. Once I was charged and turned on once more we were in a strange room with 2 beds and a door leading to a toilet and a shower. The room had plenty of…

I bent my leg and put my heel down. It never occurred to me that I could get hurt. My heel slipped and I feel what seemed 500 feet, but was only 5 inches. I screamed in pain, “Agh!” My body started to panic, as if it was going into lockdown. Everything was confusing, nothing made sense, things like soap and shampoo, turned into things that didn’t even exist. My hand went instantly to my head, and the sight I saw on my hand was the scariest thing I had ever seen, blood. Us as humans like to be…

wish me well. She had said to me. I was scheduled for surgery the next day. She was not my doctor, thus how extravagant it was of hers to come and wish me well? But she had come and she had wished me well. And once she had done so, she had left. When the examining room door had closed behind her, for reasons beyond me, I hopped off the table, went to the door, cracked it, and watched her grow small down the long, sterile hallway, until the corner took her. Soon after she had left, my…
