Trench coat

body wants to collapse. Part of me wants to call for help, but I can’t form the words in my mouth, my body is giving in to the fear and hallucinations and I went on the ground. The world is warping and glowing around me, as if I were drugged. I was trying my hardest to crawl away from the library, still hearing the muffled screams of the victims as if they were right behind me. I’m making my way to the grassy spot where me and my friends used to sit every lunch period. I could see them,…

since the veterans feel unable to atone for their sins. As a result of this fear of damnation, the veteran prays, in an ironically similar fashion to the Lord’s prayer, to “be no nearer” to “death’s dream kingdom” and to wear the disguise of a “Rat’s coat, crow skin, [and] crossed staves”(31-35). Here, Eliot implies that the veteran’s faith is dwindling, as the veteran knows that if there is a God, he will likely be punished for his actions; therefore, he feels he must abandon his beliefs to…

Entertainment in the 20th century took a revolutionary turn once the motion picture was created. Suddenly, getting the family together and trekking down to the town theater became a typical weekend activity. As a result, post-WWII films, typically in the style of film noir, became extremely popular. These film noirs based their plots around the anxieties of the 1940s time period; its translation into French literally means, “black film”. Other genres became popular as film grew and expanded, but…

A Dollar, as the title suggests, is a play concerning a dollar bill. Seven people come up with ways on how to use the bill. In the final turn of events, the group uses the dollar…just not the way they pictured it. Like Clybourne Park, A Dollar shared similar traits to a play: it had a group of actors, audience members, sets, props, a stage, etc. However, there were vast differences. For starters, it was a downstage production, meaning the location was not on the main stage. The area was a…

I finished filling out the paper work, read the sides a few times, then entered the condo. The accompanist was also a woman, so now I could really relax. Three women, no weird guy in a trench coat. I sang "I Don 't Know How To Love Him", my standard go-to ballad, which I have used countless times. As soon as I started singing I thought, "Hey! I can sing! Who knew?" Gee, maybe because I was so relaxed, my throat didn 't close up like…

One thing that’s always confused me, the counterfactual view of Private Investigators. We’re not classically-dressed men, clad in heavy trench coats and fedoras. We do not commonly solve murder mysteries, most of the time it’s rich people wanting to catch their spouses cheating. Although, I’ve known to do a few other odd jobs, search and rescue and protection, to be exact. And wouldn’t you know it, my most recent, and certainly strangest, job happened to be in protection. It’s still going on,…

What About Mildred There are people we know or maybe don’t know but have heard of that according to our impressions, we think to ourselves man I wonder what I would’ve have been like to have met them; that how I feel about this woman, who might just be the most amazing person I have ever heard of. Her name was Mildred Clay and she was my grandmother. I’ve seen her in person once before, when I was younger, but at this time she was very sick, and was unable communicate so I really didn’t get a…

Often time when we think of children, we don’t think of them as being a capable of much, especially not murder. However, throughout history children have been convicted of committing some of the most heinous murders. “I killed because people like me are mistreated every day. I did this to show society ‘push us and we will push back!’ throughout my life I was ridiculed. Always beaten, always hated. Can you, society, truly blame me for what I do?” Those are the word of Luke Woodham, who is a…

How can anyone really know if ghosts are real or not? Is there actually evidence to really tell because who knows if anyone has truly seen one? There are people out there that go and search for ghost and they have only heard noises, seen shadows, different pieces of light, and most importantly different energy waves that match up with what they are looking for. They have studied ghost activity and if they are real for years and there has been hard evidence but does anyone know for sure.…

There was a strange wailing sound coming from the next room. I slowly walked toward the sound and opened the door. The wailing sound was coming from bailey, my pet dog. I ran to her to see if she was ok, but she growled at me and i slowly backed away. I called my parents into the room, “ Mom, dad something’s wrong with bailey”. My dad checked on her and he told us she was having puppies soon. I left the room while i let my mom and dad take care of bailey and get her ready to deliver. I went…
