When Prophecy Fails

Have you ever looked under your bed at night? One cold, gloomy fall night, the windows had fog on them and I could smell the hot chocolate mom was makimg downstairs. I wasn't feeling too good at dinner time so I had called it an early night. As I was drifting off to sleep, something went bump and I felt my bed shake.

We pulled into Columba airport and got out of the car and grabbed our bags and headed in. We got our tickets and they took our bags. Then we headed to security, we had to take off our shoes and walk through a metal detector. It was a cool experience. Then we sat down and waited till our departure time. When the time came we boarded the plane and took are seats. We…

Truth I left my phone on a uber back in to the when I went to a party with couple of my friends. It was a reunion party for some of the friends from elementary school. So the party went didn't end until midnight. I remember that night I was really sleepy when I first on the uber, since I had school earlier in the day and I didn't have much rest the previous night. Once I got home from school, I had to get ready right away, because the party starts at 17:00, but the school didn't end…

disoriented or still asleep. The lady in the uniform called out “Jude, lets go”. I got to my feet and that’s when I first noticed I felt like I was about to puke. I felt like my head was about to explode and when I went to rub it, I noticed my arm was absolutely shredded. It looked like I had run my right hand across barbed wire. “Here you go sir, looks like he had a rough night”, said the lady. When I saw my dad’s face, I knew I was in some deep trouble. Nobody wants to drive 5 hours to pick…

He turned his head to the left wall which was closest to him, and sees a painting of a gray flower. Then turning towards the right he sees a white wall with a black door. He doesn’t move from his spot. Not now, it just didn’t feel right. He’ll do it when the timing is right. Until something heavy pressing against his legs alarmed him. He nearly jumps upon seeing what was there, which was a living creature sporting snow white fur. Pondering on the thought of why the small creature was present, he…

However, I feel that self-fulfilling prophecy can be defined as any expectation, positive or negative, a situation or event that can affect an individual behavior in such a manner that it would cause that expectation to be fulfilled or not.
