Clark Red Monologue
I could scarcely envision such an occurrence. As my neighbor ejected me from their domicile, the sky, though shrouded in clouds, seemed suffused with a sanguine tint, reminiscent of bovine hide. My eyes brimmed with tears, yet the edict of my community dictated that boys must not betray their emotions. On that very thoroughfare, the same bovine creature assailed me with a forceful thrust of its head, toppling me to the ground. It was at that juncture that my affections for the cow likely dissipated, and I surmise I may have incurred a fracture in one of my hands as a consequence. I embellished the cow with a red string bracelet, engraved on its reverse with the inscription, "One day I shall ride you." It is plausible that this very bracelet …show more content…
On August 10th, my phone rang, and upon answering, I leapt up and began fervently expressing my gratitude, "Thank you, thank you." It was my best friend extending birthday congratulations. I descended the stairs to discern the nature of the commemoration held in my honor, only to find my neighbor prostrate on the floor, braced on her knees. She was clad in a red saree that appeared somewhat threadbare and sullied, and no other individuals were present, as I was the sole resident of that apartment. She had bestowed upon me that very bracelet, now besmirched with blood and dampened. Subsequently, she departed the city. In that instant, I was overtaken by a surge of rage, feeling as though blood was streaming from my eyes, yet my mind remained ensnared in bewilderment over the circumstances. Stepping out without donning my shoes, I encountered approximately 15-16 individuals, laughing, among whom one man's attire was stained with …show more content…
In a paroxysm of unrestrained emotion, I seized the man's collar and cast him to the ground. Overwhelmed by my incapacity to contain my ire, I was subsequently besieged by others; yet my preoccupation remained with the unfathomable atrocity of consuming such a magnificent creature. My gaze then alighted upon the legs, which, to my horror, were not of another, but of my own cow. In that harrowing moment, my mind was engulfed in profound remorse for my inability to save the beast. Blood trickled from my mouth, and it was only upon regaining consciousness that I discerned my surroundings to be that of a hospital. Though my neighbor often portrays me as a social worker, the enduring question remains: why was I unable to save her? That moment is indelibly seared into my consciousness. The cow's legs were firmly grasped in my hands, and even now, as I draft this essay, I ardently wish it were nothing more than a troubling dream. On that fateful day, the hospital walls seemed to me as if suffused with a sanguine tint. I descended the stairs with painstaking caution, proceeded to my apartment, and unlocked the brown drawer, which had been secured with a

    Isn’t it disappointing when the crimson red turns brown? The red- the red is what I want. The red is what gave me the thrill. Now, you think that this is a madman talking-that I am insane. Only an insane man could think these horrible thoughts. I was not always the madman that I am now. I never thought about killing- it was merely a tragic thing that happened to those around me, but you never think you will be the one behind the blade. You never think that something so terrible, so awful could…

    A few minutes later, Jason walks over and stands in front of me at the Labrae table. He can see that I am bothered. His exterior has softened – a little. He asks why I was crying and I told him it was because of the way he talked to me and that I would not be able to get my doughnuts out on time. But there was more to it than that: I was worried that he would unfairly use this incident as an opportunity to support his claim that I could not “cut it” as a baker. Jason tends to embellish situations…

As I looked down both cave passages I notice a red haze that seems to emanate from the right passage. When I take a second look I can't see it? What is this about? At anyrate red seems to be promising in terms of finding heat so, right it is. I progress for quite some time down the rocky cave, occasionally small…

In my mind, the idea of being called on and not knowing the answer to a question was as terrifying as dropping down a 400 ft roller coaster ride with no handlebars. So…

    The red Toyota pickup idled past us. A handful of stern-faced young men sat on their haunches in the cab, Kalashnikovs slung on their shoulders. They all wore beards and black turbans. One of them, a dark-skinned man in his early twenties with thick, knitted eyebrows twirled a whip in his hand and rhythmically swatted the side of the truck with it. His roaming eyes fell on me. Held my gaze. I’d never felt so naked in my entire life.…

    A grey world—cities, faces, grime—but two colours made their rare appearance: bloody red and asphyxiation blue. Spring, 1918: both gruesome shades were present in London’s hovels and had struck down the hardworking with fevers and coughs. The greatest of mysteries: How had Mrs Jim Dawson been felled by the Spanish flu? The squalid shack was filled with the drifting sounds of boisterous children, laundering women, loitering men, many unemployed catcalling the loose women whose ankles flashed beneath…

    night. They fanned out like a well-coordinated army hunting all throughout the town. Upon arriving at its outskirts, where the Spring Festival had taken place they found him. His clothes were covered in soot and his body was contaminated with bright red blisters and burns. He was kneeling on the grass, crouched over, and coughing with an unrestrained ferocity that was only needed to dispel the smoke that his lungs had inhaled. Upon seeing the cowardly figure, the townspeople pulled him up from his…

    I distinctly remember having lost all feeling in my tongue and walls closing in around me. I remember sitting on my bed, feet dangling over the edge. Visions of my brothers, my nephew, and my unborn son flashed in my mind like lights warning me to not come any closer; for if I did, I would meet a similar fate. The light from the television flickered on our faces; mine blank, two shameful, and the last with rage. There is not a single noun, verb, or complex sentence in any language to describe how…
