As a young child I almost never heard my mother raise her voice to my father. They have been married for over twenty years now and I would consider all of them to be happy. She had gone to college to become a journalist and that’s where she met my father. The two fell in love and got married before graduation. I suppose priorities or even interest changed because she never became a journalist. Selfishly‚ I’m glad she didn’t as I have had her full attention since I was born. A couple years ago I was

Dear diary‚ Sorry I haven’t been writing lately‚ it’s just that I haven’t been able to think properly ever since Denny died. I just came back from finding the body and mum and dad haven’t even noticed that I left. Maybe it should have been me and not Denny. He was the better son. He did everything that dad wanted him to do‚ and he was cool about it. He played football and joined the army. Girls were always around him. God‚ why did he have to go! It should have been me!! There are so many things

July 28 1601 Today‚ Antonio and Bassanio borrowed money from me‚ three thousand ducats. The merchant Antonio is so certain that his ships will come back. It’s like nothing will come on his ships way‚ ships are just boards and sailors are just men. Anything could come on his ships way like thieves‚ storms‚ winds and rocks. After a long debate with myself I decided that I’ll lend them money. The merchant‚ Antonio and I decided to make a bond just for fun. He thinks proud and high

To those who care enough to read‚ pass on the message: I would like to start by saying that I already know‚ without even being alive to see it‚ that the only people that will read this are these monsters working at this mental institution‚ who’s hearts burn as hot as hell. I know that my family does not know that I knew‚ but I knew even before they sent me off. I knew what each one of them thought of me. I knew that they did not love me or care.

I had been outing it off for many years. Finally I was like no I need to make good money and explore my career. I love what I do and that is working with doctors. I would do a lot of things differently in my life. For one I would not give up. I wish that I had started school many years ago to accomplish my

During the first day of my clinical‚ I had the opportunity to shadow my preceptor because of some technical problem I did not have my login‚ so I couldn’t have access to the patient records and all the information’s I needed. Consequently‚ I shadowed my preceptor. In fact‚ it was a learning since I did observe how she does her charting‚ reporting‚ how to start‚ organize and prioritizes during a shift. The culminant point of the day was the admission of a patient from the PACU. Before the patient

I dreamt of the rain. The same rain that filled my entire childhood. The same cold rain that showered down on the alleyways that I hid in‚ sloughing the grime off the walls and into whatever small crevice I would have been hiding in. I dreamt of the same drops of rain that poured like stones‚ the same stones that were thrown at the many beggars‚ like myself‚ living in the winding narrow streets of Aquillum. I found myself walking

Three months ago I confessed that I have a blackened soul‚ darkened by lechery‚ and I am sure I will hang this morning because of it. My puritan town Salem has been driven insane by the hysteria and paranoia associated with witchcraft and the devil‚ created by a group of devious children and perpetuated by various ulterior motives at work. Because of this‚ I have been left with nothing; my wife‚ Elizabeth‚ has been convicted and my neighbours are being killed off daily‚ accused of something that
