Wake Up

I wake up in my bed and see busy streets outside of my 2 story house. Rosett, my sister, is the only family member alive that I have. She wakes up before me and is dressed in a full military training outfit, coming downstairs once she hears I’m awake. I then get dressed in a military general outfit, and we both get ready for a usual, boring day. We eat eggs, bacon, and a sandwich. I drive Rosett to her training school. “Don’t get into trouble Rose (Her nickname).” “I won’t Danny (My nickname).” She responds. In the middle of the day, I get a call from the office. They say my sister is going up a 2 story building. I quickly report to her school and meet her in the office. “Morning,” I say to the office staff. “Your sister has too much trouble in this school, and I have made the decision she may leave earlier than most students since she has passed all the tests.” “I’m sure of that too Mr. Clint. I will have her out of this school tomorrow, putting her in command of an officer.” “Glad to hear that Daniel,…

Wake up Eddie, wake up. It’s past nine. You’re going to be late; I hear a fading voice inside my head from far apart. As I open my eyes I see my mom shaking my body to wake me up. I checked the clock hanging on the wall and it was nine past fifteen. I quickly jumped off my bed and ran towards the bathroom. When I came out my mom had a suit and pant with a nice tie ready for me for the day. How could you sleep-in in a day like today, my mom asked. I couldn’t fall asleep last night. The…

Background The conflict I chose to analyze was with my sister and also involved my brother. Basically, every Tuesday and Thursday morning my sister has class at 8 am and her and I share a car so we leave at 7 am. My brother leaves for high school at around 7:10 am. For the whole semester my sister and I have been getting late almost every Tuesday and Thursday and last week we made a plan that my sister wakes up the earliest, my brother at 6am, and I wake up at 6:30 am. However, every time, my…

With The Dawn “Wake up!” He sounds desperate, he thinks. He is desperate, he realizes. Funny. He hadn’t thought he would care. It takes a while for Lucas to open his eyes, and when he does, there is the dim shape of his once-brother kneeling beside him. Lucas closes his eyes again briefly, reaching upwards with stiff limbs to press the frozen heels of his palms into his eye sockets. “Thank fuck, you unconscionable bastard,” muttered Reg, leaning back on his heels, and when Lucas…

“Kylar wake up’” my mom yelled. I was so tired. It was 7:30am the first day of school. I didn’t want to do anything except go back to sleep. Another reason I didn’t want to get up was because I was nervous. But a voice in my head encouraged me to get up. So I did my regular morning routine and ate breakfast. Then it was time for me to start walking to the bus stop. But then my mom told me that it was 8:32 and my bus was supposed to come at 8:34. So I darted out of the door. When I finally got…

I can feel the hate in the pit of my stomach, and there is not one part of me that wants to get out of bed this morning. This may sound like I am complaining about a Monday morning, but really, I am talking about waking up with depression. Getting out of bed is more of a task for me than ever this morning and I know that my day will only get worse. But will it? The mindset of a teenager with depression is awfully negative and you never know where your emotions will end up. Some days, I feel like…

If I were to wake up as a woman I would initially be shocked. I would probably think this was a deep seeded nightmare from the time I had a final on female hormones and their reproductive system. I would get up from my bed and look at myself with both a sense of fascination and horror. I would honestly be intrigued as to how something like this happened. I’d eventually find no reasonable explanation and give up, chalking up all my memories of being a male to being one really realistic dream. I…
