The Door

The two girls swiftly picked their way through the throng of 7th graders marching up the steep incline of steps into the large glass doors of the ancient shrine of Resurrection Middle School. Genni Mac stood staring at the two immense openings to the school without emotion or concern whether she could pass any academic test or exam, but her concern lied in the fact could she pass the…

Jeep swung into our driveway, and Jackie was leaning on the horn before the car came to a complete stop. Grabbing my coat from the couch, I walked out my front door dragging my arms like dead weight. I slowly made my way to the car gripping the door handle with little to no effort. I sat down in the seat, and before I could even close the door, and was already halfway down the street. “Why did you interrupt…

eyes lit up. I ran to find something to fight with I ran and got a medal chair people sit on in the waiting room that folds up. I ran down the hallway but there were zombies that way so I turned back and ran the other way. I started running to an exit door but it said…

away from the door, so that way patients wouldn’t be throwing chairs because they are so eager to get out or people getting hurt by them. The moment the patient goes through the door to see the doctor, nothing should be in the middle of the walk way. Cabinets should always be locked, so that way nobody can get a hold of medications. Each office should have a panic button even in the front, where the medical assistance or front desk clerk are working. There must be enough exit doors to use if…

Instead, he left it parked outside the front door; a spot reserved for ambulances only. The four of us then jumped out of the car, slamming the doors behind us. We then ran through the doors marked “Emergency Room”. There we encountered the desk clerk who was a nasty witch and gave us the wrong directions to the emergency room where Carter was being held. As we were…

slowly cleared and I remembered the messages from my phone. Yet another ring awakened me as I realized I had invited company. “Here” the text read. My plans for the night hit me like a sledgehammer to a nail and I sprang from the couch to grab the door. In came Emma followed by Devan and Curtis. We all exchanged a silent glance, for we all knew the routine - and headed upstairs. The rough asphalt shingles stung my bare feet as I slipped out of the window. The others followed quietly with a mock…

The rain pelts down as I am on the edge of the covered area. I press the button repeatedly for the doors to open. Stepping to the side to let the crowd of people fall out of the train. I keep my head down and avoid eye contact as I push my way through the doors, holding my purse and flowers close. I enter the train and sit down on the grey fabric splattered with a pattern of coloured shapes. A pungent smell fills my nostrils, as…

lives we use and see so many great discoveries and creations yet we don’t even know who to thank. But those who do know thank the ancient Greco-Romans for everything from being able to sit down on and flush our toilets to the convenience of automatic doors. Next time you need to use the bathroom, you might want to stop and take a moment to appreciate the creative sanitary inventions of the Romans. Back in the estimated time of between 800 and 600 B.C. drainage and sewer systems had barely…

I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't so I helped Mamá with Rorra. After about an hour later, everyone was awake and staring at the door, waiting for the officers to come in and tell us that the papers were done. After about half an hour of waiting, the officers came in and told us to go to the restroom, and then wait out into the large room with the fish to leave. We all went to the…

When she would go visit him, she said he would take an eternity to open up the door (USAToday, 2013). She went on to mention that when the family tried to make travel plans, Castro’s life always got in the way. He didn’t like leaving his house unattended for more than a day at a time he told them. She also recalled that he usually…
