A Short Story Revealed: A Narrative Fiction
Sam, Dean, Mary, and Castiel all slowly entered the abandoned restaurant with weapons at the ready. When they saw that no one was around, Sam spoke the question on all of their minds. "Are you sure this is the place, Dean?" Dean finally lowered his gun and sighed. He pulled out his phone and checked the text again. "It says to meet at this exact place." They were all looking around in the same area until Cas froze. "What is it, Cas?", Mary asked. "Someone's here." Then, a voice echoed through the building, and they couldn't tell where it was coming from. "I have a name, you know. You might've heard it before." Suddenly, there was a bright, white light that filled the room. All of them shielded their eyes until it was gone. But it wasn't the only thing that disappeared, Cas was nowhere to be seen. They all raised their guns again, looking for anything else that moved. Dean was angry, "Who are you? Come out here!" There was a silent pause and a small voice spoke. "Okay." Now they figured out which direction to look and had their guns at the ready. The owner of the voice stepped out from behind a wall. Their boots quietly clicked against the wooden floor with each step. They stopped, and Sam and Dean both held their breath. They slowly lowered their guns and tried to comprehend what was going on. Mary was clueless, as she had never seen this person before, but they had seemed familiar. She was about to ask what was going on, but Dean was first to speak. His voice was small and broken. "Riley?" Mary had gotten her answer. Her daughter who died years ago was standing in front of them. She then, too, lowered her gun in …show more content…
She stopped walking when she saw him and smiled even more. "Is it done?", he asked. She crossed her arms and laughed a little, "I believe so." He smiled at her and held out a glass for her. She took it and emptied it into her stomach, and for a second, her eyes flashed a dark

    I believe the the original ending to the short story “Button, Button” creates the best impact on the audience. The ending of this version teaches a lesson about how selfishness and greed can lead to terrible events happening. In the Twilight Zone adaptation of the story, when Norma pushes the button, she receives the money and is told someone she doesn’t know will be given the reprogrammed box. After the suspense was built, the ending was completely uneventful and exactly the offer that was promised with no abnormality or hidden consequence like in the other forms of the story. The movie “The Box,” was least like the original story because it was a test. The ending of killing and sacrificing made the story less relatable because of its complexity…

    Tom wondered for what seemed to be the millionth time why Dectives were required to dress like wall-street bankers or stock analysts. At least that was the expectation in public, however the moment he had the office to himself, he unknotted his tie, slipped off the linen suit jacket, and undid the top button of his shirt, then sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and tapped the tip of a ballpoint pen against his teeth. That was Tom's usual mode of concentration and contemplation, and so intent was the man's focus on the new case that all else slipped from his mind, even the recollection that he'd texted his wife. Therefore, the sudden familiar sound of her voice, accompanied by the enticing aroma of barbecue, startled him, and he immediately shot upright. The sight of Lila elicited a smile that only widened with the greeting and kiss. "Sorry baby."…

    One’s final moments often leave many questions. “What will my final thoughts be?” or “What would my final statement to the world be?” Reflections on death are often avoided because death can be terrifying but, if forced to think about it, what would you do in the final moments of your life? The author of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, Ambrose Bierce, wants the reader to focus on his or her final moments and how they might unfold. The author is able to make the reader feel as though he or she is actually sharing the protagonist, Peyton’s, terrifying experience and provokes reaction and deep feeling.

    It was the year 1645 and we’ve been on the plantation for 8 ½ months now. Our family has been here for as long as I can remember, working the cotton fields. We were brought here from a small country off the coast of Africa, the country of Uganda. I will never forget that fateful day. As my mother and I were walking through the forest to gather wood and the proper materials for us to eat, we were bombarded by the white men, they came in different directions threating to shoot at us if we didn’t cooperate, at this time we knew that the rumors we heard all around the village were true. As if having guns pointed to our heads wasn’t enough pain we were beaten, tied, and thrown into the bottom of a ship without food and water for what seemed like days. As I saw the look on mothers face I realized that the days ahead for the rest of our lives were going to be hell for now on……..…
