When I Woke

of fears, from spiders, elevators, death and my mom when she gets home from work. But my biggest fear of all is losing the people who mean the most to me. Without your family and friends you virtually have nothing, no one to spend time with, no one to show off your accomplishments, no one to be there for you when you are down. One day my biggest fear came true, I lost control of my mind and my life changed for the worst. I had become the monster I feared so much. This is my story. It was a…

brother was already in the kitchen and was asking for his daily drink (milk). I withdrew my stool, opened the fridge and pulled out the milk jug with all my might. Then I climbed up like a monkey to grab a cup ( and sugar, as every child needs sugar with everything.) I poured, it spilled, I poured, it spilled. However, after my third attempt I did it. I gave it to him (after I had some of it) and he savoured it. Then, before I knew it, he was asleep and curled up identical a cat.…

breath was coming in heavy outbursts. All I remember was running and then suddenly, I tripped. It felt like I was falling for longer than it should have taken me to hit the ground. Thump! My head hit the ground and everything went black. When I woke up I couldn’t move my hands because they were tied behind my back with rope. I could feel the rope burning into my wrists as I struggled to be free. I could feel the coolness of the wall against my back. Suddenly, I heard a flick and everything was…

This school year, I decided to get an off campus apartment instead of staying on campus in a dorm. It was a last minute decision, but I wanted the experience of truly being on my own. Because I waited so long to get an apartment, a lot of them were already taken. An old friend of mine introduced me a girl named Danielle the previous school year and she happened to be looking for a roommate as well. We texted and a few weeks later I was approved to move into the apartment with her. I did not…

As I woke up this morning feeling a bit abashed, but also very satisfied. 2 days ago I was on the brink of getting killed by Herod Sayle, but everything reciprocated suddenly when Yassen Gregorovich shot Sayle right in front of me, then told me that he wasn’t open to kill children; and that he had no enlightenment to kill me. MI6 told me that if he saw me poking around, he would shoot me right on the spot without procrastination, I guess Mr.Blunt and his affiliates were wrong about Yassen…

thoughts were directly centered on Luke when I walked into my door. I tried my hardest to think about something or someone else. I didn’t want my mind going off to dreamy land before I even had the opportunity to know more about the man that had captured so much of my attention tonight. Then my thoughts easily moved to the man whom I was supposed to be with tonight on an amazing date that went downhill quickly. I wished in this moment that the date was with Luke, then I would still be out…

June 6th, 2016, the end of my eighth-grade year at TKMS, I woke up, at 5:30, jumped out of bed, got dressed, ate, and yelled at my mom to get in the car, all by 6:20. But of course we weren’t even close to ready, and we didn’t even need to leave until 7:30. So after reluctantly going back inside, to pack a spare pair of clothes, sunscreen, and our tickets (which we almost forgot), we were finally ready to go and it was already 7:40, “MOM!!!” I yelled panicking, “WE’RE GONNA BE LATE!!!” “We’re…

is over.” I pranced my way to the middle of the floor and took my starting position. The generic routine music started off slow, but quickly picked up. It was the first meet of the season. The previous year I placed second at the Idaho State Championship, with the difference between first and second being an additional step. Although I was one level higher and had tougher competition, I was determined that this was my year to take the first place trophy. If that was going to be true, I had to…

This was my exit. I had skipped breakfast and at that time my stomach had began to rumble. Not far off the highway I spotted a quaint home that had been transformed into a diner. I decided to stop. An elderly woman with bouffant silver hair, wearing a blue checked dress and apron greeted me at the door with a smile before seating me. It was as if I had stepped back into an old movie or perhaps a doorway into the past. Upon the waitress’s instance, I ordered the daily special. It was a…

into you there’s no escaping. This powerful emotion ruined my relationship between my boyfriend and I because it caused cheating, accusations to be made, fights between us, and finally our breakup. Michael was my boyfriend’s name. We were exactly alike, as if we were one person. Our movements and thoughts were synchronized. People always mistakes us as siblings because our behaviors were so similar. I seriously that of Michael as my soul mate, he was heaven sent, designed epically for me by…
