The Apartment
I live in a small apartment in the middle of town. The apartment that I lived in was a quite nice three storey apartment with two flats on each storey. I have mostly got nice neighbours besides for one who I have never seen before who lived on the same storye as me. One day I was wondering if anyone else new who lived in the apartment next to mine, but no one seemed to know. Suddenly, a lot of thoughts were going through my mind. Maybe he is a terrorist. Maybe he is a thief. Or maybe he was just a normal human being. I just didn’t know what to do and how to find out who lived in this apartment. I shared my thoughts with my other neighbour and he felt the same as I did; frightened, nervous, suspicious and apprehensive. We just didn’t know what to do.
After a week of me having sleepless nights because I was scared of the suspicious person next door, I had enough that night I decided to get together with a few other neighbours to find out who lived in the apartment. I had an idea that we should just knock on the door and see what happens. So that is exactly what I did, I was feeling a bit anxious about doing it but I found the courage, and knocked on the door. Then I waited a few minutes and nothing happened. I knocked again and nothing happened. I was just so fed up of not knowing who lives here. I decided to try and knock the door down.
At this point everyone behind me who were watching were feeling quite frightened and didn’t know what would happen next. All they could see was their friend standing in front of the broken door looking at them whilst shaking. A few moments later, I walked in with valour. I felt his way in the flat because it was pitch black; all I could hear were some birds chirping outside, however the smell was very sweet and minty it suddenly came to me that this is the smell of drugs. Now I was starting to feel a bit shaky and suspicious because drugs are never a good sign. For my own safety, I decided not to go any further into

    So we went up and brought all of our important stuff up into the attic and stayed very quiet. We have to stay very quiet because our attic is right above another apartment. during the day we can move around a little bit and at night we can, not because there will probably be people down there that count rat us out. Then, once we heard the nazi police down there and did not know it was them and then we made a little bit of noise and all of a sudden we heard what is that. Then we heard this running up the attic stairs so we hid in the corner…

    I sprinted down the road wondering what had just happened because it was a miracle that I was even alive. Options played over in my head of who saved my life, but all of my answers were unrealistic. I had reached the apartment and fumbled my way through the door while trying to fish for the spare set of keys, mother had given me, out of my pocket. Finally, I had retrieved them, but my stick, gloves, and skates were scattered around the small enclosed entrance to my sector. With one foot I held the door open and with the other I stretched across the room reaching for my things. One skate and one glove was all I could reach, so I took a different approach. I sprawled across the floor, lying on my stomach leaving my feet in the doorway. The door was crushing my legs, it was made out of solid metal. Although it was much more efficient because I had retrieved the rest of my belongings and was able to head up to my home. Jogging across the second floor, scanning each door for the number fifteen. Eventually I was standing in front of my door, grasping the brass lock attached to the wooden door. Splinters stuck out like a sharp rock pit, on the cusp of sticking into my hand as I gently pushed the door open. I dropped my stuff on the floor and ran to the kitchen where mother had been cooking supper for father and…

    The Shack

    The image of God can be interpreted many ways. Most envision Him as a Father Time figure that sits on a cloud thumbing his long, silver beard. Some view God as an uncompromising demiurge, while others choose to believe He is a loving deity with bountiful grace. While some consider the Holy Trinity one being, others believe it to be three separate entities. William P. Young, in his fictional novel, The Shack, takes a very different approach on his view of God. The author personifies the Holy Trinity in terms that very few have ever considered. In the formative years of William P. Young’s life, significant events occurred that shaped his presentation of God. The images portrayed in his book conflict with the belief of many Christians today.…

    I was led by the smoke cloud to a quaint little cottage. It did not appear to be vacant. As I was approaching the door, I noticed a faint glow in the arched window. I assumed it was candlelight. In the corner of my eye, I sensed movement. A blurry and small outline of a person topped the hill. I decided to go in to the cottage even though the movement still was etched my mind. Once in, I walked through a small sitting circle and felt warmth from the fire burning stove. Into the kitchen was a table with food. A warm and fresh prepared meal was set out for two guests. The table had turkey, peas, green beans, bread and pie. I hadn’t eaten since this morning so I decided to help myself to a plate. As I was about to take a bite of the turkey, the wood door pushed open. This sound startled me to the point of coughing. The blurred figure came through the door. It was the person I saw in field. That person was carrying a basket full of garden vegetables. When the person saw me, she asked me who I was and why I was in her house. I told her about my hunting experience and how I had walked upon the cottage. I let her know about how cold it was and that I needed a little warmth and something to eat. She didn’t feel sorry for me in the least bit. I felt extremely bad because she had made this meal for her husband and children. I gave her my regards and lots for rabbits to enjoy. I left on my horse…

    I woke up to the smell of smoke billowing in my room. It took a while for me to realize what was happening in my house. However I soon came to my senses and I ran to the door. I touched the door to feel if it was hot and it was scorching. I fully understood what was happening. I immediately screamed trying to get someone to notice, and I heard shouts out of the window trying to help me. I opened the window and began to try and crawl out. I had two choices. Go out the window and be in danger of falling. Or go out the door and be in danger of being burned. I decided that the first option was defiantly the most wise and began crawling down the old trellis that was on the side of my house. I was down about half way and I realized…

    Let me put myself in the shoes of the victim. I know how I felt when my house got egged, once. I did not feel very good, in fact I was aggravated. I wished to know who had done it. I wish I could have gotten the authorities involved. But that would be useless with not enough to go on tracking the person who ever was responsible. In my case, my victim, the person who’s property I damaged was lucky to have followed us and get our information, enough information to get the authorities involved. I mean that is 1 to 10 ratio to catch the one responsible for the property damaged. I would not call myself unlucky in this situation, if could use any word to describe myself it would be “wrong”.…

    Scary Experience

    It was late at night around 11:30pm and I had just gotten of work and started driving down this long narrow road that leads to my subdivision, which tipically takes me 8-10 minutes. When turning on to this road there were only 3 other cars with me and as I got closer to my subdivision each one turned their seprate ways except the gold beat up car behind me, and I had noticed that this car had been keeping up with me no matter what speed I went. So I quickly turned into my subdivison and took off, as I looked behind the car was still right behind me keeping its pace. That is when I got this eary feeling and it was telling me this is suspicious, its just not right, and I had heard that if you think someone is following you, you shouldnt pull into where you live, you should keep driving, and thats exactly what I did. When I reached the top of the hill it was either turn left or right, and both ways with some turns, lead you back to the front of the subdivision. Being in the nervous state of mind that I was in I made an extremely stupid decision and turned left. As I turned just then I remembered that side of the subdivision was under construction and had very few houses down that way, of course I would choose the worst way to go. I continued to not stop at the stop signs and speed through the streets by that time I felt like I was in the fast and furious or something, and I start to see the car further at a distance. In the midst of this chaos I failed to remember which turn it was to get back to the front of the subdivision. so I randomly picked a street and it turned out that was a bad choice as well because it ended up being a dead end. luckily there was one house down that street with its lights on and 3 cars in the drive way, so some one was home. As I pulled into their driveway I turned my lights off and stared out my window to see if that car would turn onto the same street I just did. In that moment my heart was racing…

    When I was passing through the front door, I heard faint footsteps. Wild thoughts began to race through my mind…a ghost?.... a serial killer on the loose?...fear, raw and intense, sent my stomach churning. Swallowing a scream, I squatted down, trying to make myself invisible. Squinting in an effort to see clearly in the darkness, I could make out a shadow standing behind the door.…
