I became aware of the fact that I intuitively knew the universal body structure of the creature before me‚ as well as various other things‚ like what made

I couldn’t take my eyes off of him. I had seen him many times on tv and in pictures. However‚ seeing him in person gave off a sense of wonderment. Knowing what he had put me through also drove me angry. These two emotions fought within me and I could walk anymore. My mom‚ who was still holding me‚ tried pushing me forward.

Dr. Spock paced back and forth muttering to himself like a madman‚ pulling at his hair in his frenzied haste. “I just don’t understand‚ it doesn’t make any sense‚” he muttered‚ desperately gazing at the wall before him‚ covered with documents interconnected with a web of red strings. He quickly gazed up at me‚ his eyes bloodshot and skin a pallor grey‚ “We must do the impossible” he whispered so quietly that I had to strain to hear him‚ “We must open the portal.” “No‚” I said in a shaky voice‚

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

Hello‚ I wanted to send you an email about something that was concerning to me after the game today. Kate came off the field very upset and unfortunately I had two other players with me that I was transporting home so I didn’t get much of a chance to discuss this with her until tonight.
