The Day Before I Paw
Every night before I go to bed I pray, at which I pray for better days, I pray for a better home, I pray for a better future, and I pray for a better family.
Seems like the old guy up there never listens to me. It was a Monday afternoon, the sky was an alluring shade of zaffre mixed with persian blue and just a tint of sapphire. I felt the chill of the afternoon as I walked to work. When I made it to work, everybody was having a great time and as I clocked in, Kristen walked out for a cigarette break. I went to the restroom; it’s my favorite place to be when I’m at work, because the heater is in the bathroom. It’s in the ceiling right above the sink, so, I would go into the bathroom to stand under the heater. Do you know how good that feels

She started screaming, “this isn’t what I ordered.” I walked away furious, because there was nothing I could do or say. I went in the back and I started sobbing, I was hurt, because she did that in front of everybody at which made me feel embarrassed and humiliated. My boss came in the break room with an,“ Alabama latte,” and told me to brush it off.
Later that night, I was watching a movie about revenge and voodoo. I thought of the woman who embarrassed me at work, and how I wished some how I could make her regret what she has done. The character in the movie was asking for intervention from the Obeah, the voodoo doctor. I hazily remembered the chant of the Obeah, as I fell asleep.
A week later, I was at work and the same lady showed back up, she seemed calmer this time so I thought it would be a good day.
While she stood in line, I yelled “Next in line please,” and guess who was next, The Wicked Witch of the west. She came back and as she came to my line she started with her snarky attitude again. After I took her order, she walked to have a seat and waited for her food. when she started walking I heard a loud crack. I was thinking to myself did he really listen to my prays, then I heard another loud crack, I looked over at her and she started screaming, “ohhh my back help call 911 call

    I awoke today with the light streaming into my room and hearing the birds chirping in the distance. As I regained my conscience, I smelled the mold and felt damp room conditions all around me that imprisoned me. It reminded me of what would have happened only in a nightmare. It was only yesterday that Corey, Nurse, Hale and I had gone to help the accused women. So many times I felt that I could win the battle, yet just as many times I could feel the rope slipping through my fingers.…

    3:15 am, I lie in the spot of my bed I’d always gone to for comfort, now lying there unable to move, think, breathe, sleep, trying to wrap my mind around the fact that my world would never be the same again. Randomly waking up in the early hours of the morning is something I rarely do, so waking up at 3:06 am looking around my room, seeing Kierra also happen to wake up wasn’t right. Looking over at my phone, seeing Mrs. Jennie was calling me, I hesitantly answered, unsure of what to expect. Still half asleep, I asked, “Hello?”. Is everything okay?”…

    It was a simple beginning to a beautiful day in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The dry morning air brought a wealth of warmth to my tired skin. "Today is a day of opportunity," I thought. I would hopefully be entering the work force after a long battle with unemployment. I was excited because my days were filled with nothing but boredom and my mind was occupied with nothing but despair. Hopefully, today would be the day that I left my past behind me.…

    I woke up in the hospital, the room was stuffy and the air had a undertone of bleach. Beautiful framed pieces of art hang the wall. There were vases of flowers in the room. I look around, every surface was dustless. The nurses were unhurried, they moved with a serene peacefulness from room to room on their rounds. Above the double doors were large blue plastic signs with the area of the hospital that lie ahead. I got this overwhelming feeling of wanting to cry. Brick by brick my walls were tumbling down. The feeling punched through my empty stomach ripping through my bones, guts, and muscles. I knew Ms. Anna would be upset.…

    Days went by and the weather was an accurate reflection of our low spiritedness. Lightening ripped through the sky, and tears fell so fast from the faces of my loved ones; it was hard to distinguish them from the heavy rain. Relatives of mine would visit and show remorse towards my mother. She looked like death and she didn’t care. It was a state of depression she couldn’t see herself through. To those around me my feelings seemed frivolous and so I would sit by the window and observe the birds that flew way above. Slowly I shut my eyes and I could see him. He had come back into my life, but only for a second, until I opened my eyes and saw it was all just a lie. I go to sleep and I know he will be there, but I don’t want to wake up because he will disappear again. All I wanted was for someone to tell me that he was ok and I had nothing to worry about. Nobody ever did. I would saunter for 3 miles…

    As I sit outside my porch gleaming at the clear blue sky, the sun peeking through the clouds down on my face. I take a long breath, taking in the morning breeze and letting it out. Today will be different, it will be a new beginning. I hear the birds chirping and the sun has risen. It's time. I run back inside my house grab the keys and head straight to the front door. I take a deep breath again telling the voices in my head that today will be different. I stroll down the road as I rehash what this day was one year ago. A deadly disaster, a heart throbbing story that I never want to be reminded of. I ambled past a group of people down the street, I hear their words turning into whispers and their ferocious eyes looking at me. The whispers are…

    If I have had a bad day or issues are on my mind, the one place I go is the golf course alone. It was a scorching hot day and my mom dropped me off. I told her to come back in an hour and a half. I grabbed my golf bag and threw them on my back like a bag of bricks and begin to carry it over to the range. As I walked by the first tee box the workers were packing up for the day and heading home. I could hear lock on the door click and I knew I would be one of the few people out this late. In the sky the sun graced the horizons of the golf course and shined through the trees around me. Out on the course, there were a few scattered groups shooting around like ants on the horizon in their golf carts rushing to beat the darkness and get to the bar…

    I awoke to the sounds of birds singing, and the light shining through the window of my bedroom. I opened my eyes and stretched my pale arms towards the ceiling. As I put on my slippers, I thought to myself, “today is going to be a good day.” And went downstairs to get breakfast. I hummed to the tune of one of the many songs I had heard on the radio as I made myself a bowl of Frosted Flakes.…
