A Healing Wound A few years ago‚ My school took a trip to Washington‚ D.C. We got to visit many historical monuments that were even more breathtaking in person‚ but the experience at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial will forever be embedded in my mind. It was a beautiful day in Washington‚ D.C. our school had just walked over from the Lincoln Memorial and we were approaching the Vietnam Memorial Wall. I did not have very high expectations because I didn’t know anybody who fought or died in the war

Mr. and Mrs. White stood staring at that deserted road for what seemed like hours. Mr. White still clutched the monkey’s paw tightly in his fist‚ his knuckles pale from the strain. He could hear his wife sniffling softly‚ wiping her face with the edge of her nightgown. He tentatively reached over to reassure her‚ but her trance seemed to be broken by his movement. “WHY?” she shouted‚ still in hysterics over the incident. “That was our son! How could you?” There was no reply from her confounded

Ruby It’s 7:53 PM‚ and I’m soaring over the Pacific Ocean on a plane to Honolulu‚ Hawaii. The medium sized airliner is full of tourists excited to visit Hawaii. I look out the window at the ocean and the gorgeous sunset. There is an island coming up. The waves and tide make a lulling pattern against the shore. It’s all so beautiful. I rest my head back on the seat‚ but suddenly I feel some thumps and my seat starts vibrating. It starts as a small shake‚ but turns into bumping. The old lady beside

“This isn’t a question of whether or not you think you’re good for me‚ this is me asking you if you want me.” I looked him in the eye as I shed a tear. “It was never a question of whether I wanted you. Of course I want you. My heart beats really fast whenever I’m around you‚ believe me‚” he pleaded. “So then‚ why don’t you do something about it?” We sat in solitude as he held me in his arms. I could hear his pulse quickening with every minute that passed and all I could do was listen

“My turn!” Dmitri said as he grabbed Ramone with one hand by the throat. I ran up to stop him from choking Ramone‚ but he used his free hand to swat me away like a fly. Instead I went flying into the ship at tremendous speed. I could feel the wind get knocked out of me. My vision darkened at that time‚ but before I could go completely‚ Jenna was there at my side‚ with Mia holding Ramone’s baby‚ and my baby. “It’s not over.” Said Jenna. “We can’t hurt him‚ it’s like he’s become one with the land

Prairie Dog We were making our way through the midwest on a very cold morning when I saw an animal that looked like a dog‚ but seemed to be much smaller. As I tried to near it to get a better look it barked continuously until I was out of sight. I noticed that when the animals felt alarmed the whole village quickly steps into their holes. As well as noticing that I also noticed that they make a call when there is a predator near‚ and once that predator is gone they give out a second call. The small

Kurt stands crammed in the aisle of the bus‚ one hand wrapped around a pole‚ as they travel slowly down a mostly deserted street. The lack of lights and activity is disconcerting after all the chaos on the strip. The noisy crowd on the bus makes up for the quiet outside. Everyone except him and‚ hopefully‚ the driver are drunk or on their way there. The ring shines dully in the crummy lights on the bus. It feels weirdly grown up to have a ring on. The first time he’d tried a wedding ring on was

It was a dark and stormy night… I’m sorry; I just had to say that. It was actually just like every other day‚ you know‚ until the zombie thing happened. Just like any other Friday‚ Ted and I were getting done with our third shift jobs. It was a boring assembly line job‚ doing the same thing over and over. The kind of job that can turn your brain to mush. Come to think of it‚ working there put us in a kind of zombie-like state. Our usual weekend ritual involved going to the bar immediately

He was alive. Steve remembered when that was his mantra during that first suicide mission to recover the 107th. Bucky was alive. As Steve lay in the hospital bed recovering from his injuries‚ that thought bounces around in his mind. Why hadn’t he looked for him? How could he have let his body rot in that ravine without at least looking for him? Why hadn’t he done something? He had been so sure that he would know when Bucky died‚ that he would feel it‚ yet all these years he had been alive and Steve
