Creative Writing: The Crack Of Dawn
The Crack Of Dawn.....By Dean Fearon Walking, out of the door, I saw the moon in the distance. Harmlessly, I stood there sobbing the moon, was glistening as bright as the sun would and It was so luminous I could see the reflection of myself and the monstrous red creature in the shadows of the snowy woods. I couldn’t think straight as the scenes of people being murdered replayed over and over in my dismayed head, and the sounds of dogs howling as they were searching for us, the meant to be perished people that had escaped that cerebral place.
Turning, back into the abandoned wooden house I shut the door only to hear the thunderous echo of the door

    My division was stationed in Normandy, France, at the time of the Allied invasion on June 6, 1944. Toward the end of August or early September, Canadian troops captured me near Dieppe.10 I was with a small group of men who were cut off from our main company and overrun by motorized Allied units. For several days we wandered around searching for our unit, until one night we strayed into a field camp of Canadian soldiers. You can well imagine the astonishment all around when we suddenly appeared in their midst. The Canadians didn’t have a guard posted. This was probably better for all because otherwise we might have exchanged gunfire. Instead, we peacefully turned over our weapons and in return received cigarettes.…

    How could he just treat us all like we were cattle as if it was nothing? The speedometer crept up to 60 miles per hour. Didn’t he care that people everywhere were starving? How could he do this? When he was elected he promised that he would Make America Great Again. 70 miles per hour. I had to get to the rally. We needed change, we could be that change. 80 miles per hour. My thoughts were interrupted as my eyes caught the reflecting glow of red and blue lights paint the night sky behind me. Crap. I pulled over and turned off the car, ready to feed the officer behind me a great line about how my grandmother was on her death bed and wanted me and only me to be at her side. My eyes shifted and glanced to the side mirror, the officer straightened out his already tucked in uniform and smoothed his hands over his hair as he made his way from his cruiser. Great, I thought. I wonder how many reprimands this stiff is gonna write me up for. My record already had 14 points on it for picketing, 6 more and I’d be in real trouble. He knocked on the window…

    The short story by Etgar Keret is about the metaphorical aspect of creative writing using two characters; Aviad and Maya, husband and wife who have recently gone through the tragedy of a miscarriage. The story begins with Maya, who has been encouraged to attend creative writting workshops in hopes of getting out more and moving on rather than sitting at home dwelling on the lost child. Aviad at first seems quite pleased that Maya has been doing well in her workshops, however he is critical about how she ends her stories and often wonders if she is in fact writing about him metaphorically. I almost got a sense that in every story she wrote it was there was a subconscious meaning behind it, the story about splitting in half, the story about the woman who falls out of love with her husband, and the story about the cat who’s paternity was in question. Maya even admitted writing the story of the cat before she got pregnant. It would appear that Aviad had an uneasy feeling about Maya's writing instructor hence showing up to the workshop a half hour early. Without Maya's knowledge, Aviad signs up for a creative writing workshop where he writes a short about a fish who is turned into a human by a witch. The fish eventually becomes successful as a human and when the witch decides to turn him back out of pity, she finds that the fish has found his place and leaves him be. The story ends with no definitive ending; however there may be a correlation to the fish story and the fact that since Maya has started writing she has changed as a person.…

    And the war, well, she is Roger’s mother, she’s leached at all the soft, the vulnerable inclusions of hope and praise scattered, beneath the mica-dazzle, through Roger’s mineral, grave-marker self, washed it all moaning away on her gray tide. Six years now, always just in sight, just where he can see her. He’s forgotten his first corpse, or when he first saw someone living die. That’s how long it’s been going on.
