I walk around the dance floor awkwardly‚ looking for groups of people that I know well enough to be able to go and stand with and pretend like I’m part of whatever mind-numbing conversation they’re having. I check my watch for the fifth time in ten minutes‚ which is making time go even slower. It’s 8:50 I made the rule for myself to drop my first at 9 so I wouldn’t have to take the next until midnight. “Ten minute’s” I thought to myself “Stuff it”. I pulled out my wallet and reached my index finger

There is silence. Silence everywhere‚ such silence that the soft sounds created by swift movements happening around me are amplified.

Gushing has negative connotations‚ but swirling has an optimistic twist to it. I look down and open my eyes‚ allowing the water to pour over my head down to my face. All I can see

A slight breeze blew throughout the dandy forest‚ swaying the stiff lifeless trees and blowing the black stained leaves across my bare white feet. As I stumbled across the dead landscape‚ a slight fog swam around blending in with the increasingly falling snow. Hundreds of dark wood surrounding me seemed to slowly cave in‚ creating a narrow cave-like passage. An eerie feeling swept over me‚ and I stopped completely‚ analysing every detail around me. The smog became thicker‚ blinding the scenery and

Don´t cut on the lights My nose was filled with the scent of old people and medicine as I roamed the hospital halls. I was searching for my brother. I looked around the long narrow hallway trying to find my brother’s room. I looked into the room closest to to me. I grabbed the paper file beside the door and opened it. “Nope not his.” I stated. I went to another door. There was no file. The room must have been empty. I had checked a few more rooms in this hallway. “If he’s not in this hallway‚ he

I pulled the trigger. Bang‚ bang‚ bang. Two shots for each police officer that stood before me. I wasn’t high. I wasn’t drunk. And I definitely wasn’t crazy… “I guess the reason I shot them is because I felt trapped. At least that’s the reason I keep telling myself.” “So that’s the reason”‚ said the lawyer. “I guess. I mean‚ I don’t really have a reason. I just did it.” “Did you know who the officers were?” “No‚ sir. All I truly know is that I killed them‚ which makes me the murderer. I have

Jonas couldn’t keep his eyes open any longer. The two bumped into a large pile of snow outside the welcoming cabin from his memories and dreams. When Jonas woke up‚ he smelled fresh cookies‚ burning wood‚ and pine. He didn’t remember what had happened at first. He was on a pull-out bed next to a toasty fireplace with a warm fleece blanket wrapped around him. The memories of the past few days came back to him. He sat up and looked around; there was an ancient wood chair to one side with a little

“Father‚ why did you join the war?” *** The sun rose proudly as the morning clouds parted revealing the stairs to what seemed like heaven as I glanced through my office window. The light slowly uncovered the field outside as the men marched uniformly while I saluted to my countries flag that stood high above foreign soil. *** My father focused on the horizon through the morning dew that covered the kitchen window. His hands fidgeting with the cross that hanged from his neck. With a small glimpse

It’s kind of funny to think that I’ve spent my last 3 years of education at a school where I was the only white kid. You see I felt like I belonged and never once felt like an outcast‚ but I stand at the gates of my new school in a new country‚ promising a safer lifestyle and a higher level of education and I’ve never felt so detached and nervous in my life. The funny part about that is my new school is quite multicultural but I’m definitely not the only white student attending yet I felt I belonged

Diagnostic Essay There was a time that I loved creative writing‚ and even one day‚ with the insistence of my mother‚ planned to write my memoirs. In the inscription in my Webster’s Dictionary that I received in my 10th year‚ my grandfather wrote‚ “3-16-94 this book is dedicated to Anna and her hope to become famous as a writer.” I loved everything about writing: the word play‚ the endless possibilities‚ the absolute creative freedom‚ the thrill of making others feel.
