The vile odour of disinfectant permeates the air around me. My heart is racing and my trembling‚ sweaty hands cling onto my mother’s like a sloth to its branch. Gradually‚ more doctors begin to crowd around me‚ resembling vultures hovering over their prey‚ preparing to strike. The clanging of metal instruments and beeps of various machines distract me momentarily. Looking over to my left‚ I see a stout‚ middle-aged man donned in a green surgical gown. He is wearing a big‚ red foam nose and a multi-coloured

very apparent in History as well as literature. In “Desire’s Baby” by Kate Chopin‚ she characterizes Desire by starting her off as being no one‚ then she becomes something to someone‚ and throughout everything she is disrespected. In the beginning‚ Kate Chopin characterizes Desire by being no one. “The prevailing belief was that she had been purposely left by a party of Texans…” This shows Desire as being no one because nobody really knows where she came from or why she was there.

“ Don’t forget your curfew is at 11 so call me when the party’s over Ava.” “ Yea yea I know‚” I said. It was a friday night in Hayfork‚ a quiet town that no one knew about. No one came to the town‚ and no one ever left. That night‚ I was walking with my friend Liam to a birthday party. It gets really creepy at night so I had begged my mom to let him accompany me. It took about 15 minutes to walk there but that didn’t stop me. “ It’s okay Mrs.Kimberly‚ Ava’s my best friend‚ I would never let anything

Have you seen any other female walking here at this time of night? You’re in my hood‚ little lady‚ I’d feel guilty if one of my "gorillas" do something bad to you." He took his hand off and sincerely apologized. I told him I don’t speak his language very well which made him even more angry. "Crazy idiot

That day was not an ordinary day‚ I knew that from the start- but what I didn’t anticipate was that my whole week would have the same feeling. A flutter feeling that you get about something that you have already done before‚ feeling like it’s about to be the first time that you have done it. The ring of the phone was the first thing I heard that day‚ the ring that belonged to the call that started it all. ‘Hello‚’ I mumbled as I was still half a sleep. ‘Hello‚’ the person replied‚ there voice

Luminous were the lights as they shone upon the golden masks of the dancing party guests. Women gracefully glided across the ballroom‚ the slow‚ rhythmic “click clack” of their heels echoing throughout the space‚ as their gowns twirled nonchalantly around their bodies‚ accentuating the soft yet striking colors of their dresses. They firmly clutched onto their partner’s shoulder‚ as if afraid that they would fall‚ and their partners in turn held a firm grip around their waist. Snap. And just like

The glazed tiles reflected on my tired eyes not allowing to be opened. I slowly started blinking‚ harmfully blinking my eyes to see where I am. I scrunched my eyes at the bright shining light of the operation theatre. Imagining what all I had gone through in the past hours‚ I felt relieved. Thanking god to keep me alive‚ and letting me save the lives of those innocent people who have suffered so much. The nurse approached me and inquired about my health. It was more of a routine‚ and I was dragging

As I walked into the barbers for my weekly shave I notice the barber sharpening his razors. The colour drains from his face‚ and though I can not see it‚ I know he’s trembling. I almost laugh‚ it’s like he wants to be caught. I begin to remove my belt‚ as it holds my gun and my cartridges‚ the weapon that killed his allies‚ and notice him eyeing it nervously. I stop myself from smiling as I hang it onto the hook in the wardrobe and rest my hat on top. As usual‚ I hung up my bullet studded belt‚

Like my mother. You would never know if the Sinats would attack‚ or ambush‚ or raid. My point is‚ piloting a starfighter is very‚ very dangerous. And of course‚ my mother happened to be one of them; a flying‚ dangerous maniac. By my fathers definition‚ she was extra stupid‚ but I always thought that flying a

If I see that one of my friends is continuously looking off into space with a frown or looking down into their laps as if waiting for something ‘right’ to fall into it. . I make it a priority to text or talk to them about it. Usually they’ll say things like “I’m just tired.” Obviously‚ being someone who uses that excuse as if it’s the secret to life‚ I tell them it’s okay to talk about it if they need to. But‚ what about me? I mentioned I use that same ‘excuse’‚ did you catch that? Yes? Well‚ I’m
