“Shit—where do I‚ uh—begin? I dunno.” A momentary lapse of silence follows breathless laughter. “’S a long story‚ Lando. It really is. Sit back. ‘Cause it’ll be a while before I’m done.” A sigh. “Really all dates back to when we were kids. When we were runnin’ the streets like they were our own. Back when we shared bread and soup together ‘cause we didn’t have enough money to buy anything else to eat. I think—I think around the time we turned twenty‚ and you said you were leaving to make

The indirect interior monologue we get next is essential. There is something seriously affecting Henry— his faith is being tested— and what he once found comforting is now not. He is worried and this worry is mentioned twice in one paragraph. Henry also admits his sadness. Now compare this segment to the exchange between him and his wife. He does not tell her of this sadness‚ his worry or his confusion. He clearly thinks about her own lack of faith‚ but does not ask her about that either. Instead

A World Without Color Silhouetted against the darkening forest‚ she twirled and danced with the birds‚ letting all emotion escape her as she pirouetted along the edge of the river. The water raged along the rocky banks‚ setting a beat for her steps as her bouncy curls brushed her shoulders again and again. A stunning white bird glistened in the sun‚ chirping a song as it hopped onto an Evergreen tree. The bird reminded her of her mother; sweet and optimistic. Lily halted to a stop when she caught

The room is small and claustrophobic. It smells like disinfectant and latex. The lights are too bright‚ too clinical. A woman sits behind desk‚ when I walk up to her she smiles a little too big. The way nurses sometimes do‚ like they are trying to make you feel better‚ which they probably are. It always comes across as so fake‚ so insincere. It always makes me want to scream‚ and today is no different‚ in fact I think today is worse. Everything in me wants to yell at her “you know what I’m doing

TRUE! --nervous --very‚ very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses --not destroyed --not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How‚ then‚ am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily --how calmly I can tell you the whole story. It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived‚ it haunted me day and

Earth is still spinning‚ orbiting the sun. We’re still getting seasons and global warming and all that‚ but what I mean is the world has ended for us. In a way we brought this on ourselves. We created the Corvus virus‚ originally invented to kill off the brain tumours for brain cancer sufferers. My sister was one of the scientists that helped

Akari…why’d you have to do it? Why’d you have to leave us? It’s not fair. You were my best friend‚ and you were everything to me. Everything! No‚ this… this just isn’t fair! Those thoughts cut through me as they brought me back from one of our last moments together into the reality in front of me. “Akari… Akari! AKARI!” I cried out with the force of a person vomiting on all fours‚ with eyes bleeding a stream flowing down like pillars of lightning. The smell of freshly-mown grass and the smell of
