When Doves Cry

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…

People tend to seek consistency in their life. So when they come to a problem, such as sex before marriage, they stumble upon an inconsistency which they are forced to reconcile their beliefs in order to feel balanced again. Where did it come from? Cognitive dissonance was first investigated by Leon Festinger in 1957. It arose out of an member observation study of a cult which believed that…

people inside of me; the one that has control Toni Smith and the one that occasionally takes control, Elliot Collins. The stress I can get from picking up a case I almost died on could let her through. CSI and I went out to the scene of the murder when we heard a gunshot I got immediately got up and ran in the direction of the noise. I had run for what felt like miles not finding anything. I started to get upset; maybe it wasn’t a gunshot but a ploy to get me out of the building. As I kept…

desire to hurt someone, yet he rarely resorts to the actual act. When he does, however, he reacts full force, flat out, no holds barred. The author conveys his argument by using rhetorical strategies during the various stages of his life and its events. Andre Dubus speaks of his childhood years and how he was tempted by violence. He often employs flashbacks and allusions for his childhood years. A…

My eyes snapped open and my heart was beating like I had woken up from a nightmare. Immediately, I could tell something wasn't right, not at all. I rushed to the mirror on morning sea legs, clutching the mirror's edge so tightly, I was sure it would break. I stared blankly at my blurry reflection. My shirt, it... was green. I persisted to the window and yanked open the curtain. For as far as I could see (which wasn't very far), the view from my bedroom window was... green Suddenly, I was…

all the weapons. He continued to sob appallingly until I couldn’t take it anymore. My wounded thigh wasn’t in my favour when I kneeled down and curled my hands around the safe. I winced in pain, but still kept trying to pull the safe away from him. After five attempts of moving the safe, I gave in all my strength in the sixth. Warren’s leg was free, but he could not move. When the Germans attacked our camp, they made sure that there was no way to communicate with the people outside camp. All…

Wild in The West The sound of the wind blowing through the car window was a calming white sound that put me fast to sleep. I awoke faster than I could open my eyes, to a scream, a crash, and a feeling of falling through the air. As my eyes opened I saw only white then an ever approaching darkness it's as if someone had taken a slo-mo video and was projecting it into my eyes. I could only watch as the earth was approaching closer and closer to me. Knowing what came next I flexed every…

It was 1908 in Cultra, United Kingdom, I was currently mining for my Fathers small family mining business making $1.96 a week. Just enough to feed my family and provide for them as much as I can. I got the job with White Star Line to travel to Belfast, United Kingdom to build and work on the RMS Titanic. My family was so excited for me except that we could not afford for them to go to New York also. I had a son, Kyle John Layfield four years old and my wife, Rose Harmon Layfield twenty years old…
