Animal Story

My name is Frank, and I'm a lizard. My owner never lets me out of this dang tank. I have this flap thingy around my neck. Why i have it I do not know. "I wonder if I jump off this tank, will I fly? I could be like an umbrella floating down. That would be fun. I wonder if my owner left the cage unlocked today. Yay! He did. Lets try out this flappy ma bob around my neck." I peer over the side of the cage. "Wow! That is far. But, here goes nothing. Woohoo!" I run off the tank and into the air. My flappy thing catches air and it spreads out wide. "I feel like an umbrella, abut without the water hitting the top of my head." I begin making my way down the hallway. I come across a room which i do not recognize, but the humans call it the Bathroom. "Wow! This room has lots of big things. Wow! It's like a big bowl just for water! What's that? Oh my god! I love peanuts. This must be a food dispenser of some sort! Mmmmmmm! Tastes pretty good. The brown mushy stuff makes it a whole lot better. This must be what they call chocolate. These people have it made. Hmmm...why would they throw away these chocolate flavored papers? These humans really don't like what they have i guess." I Get out of the food dispensing bowl and I land on the floor. "Wow! What is this cushiony thing that i landed on. TAM-P-ON? Tampon? I think that's what it says. This sure is soft, I think I'll just take a nap here." I fall asleep. I begin to awaken from my slumber. "Ahhhh....I am so refreshed. I think I'll eat more chocolate. What the....?" I look around me, and I'm back in my tank.

Friendship (poem)

<sub>The friends that say they have your back

The friends that turn out to play with your heart

All act the same at the very start

Before you know it some will leave, you'll be in denial

Others stay at your side, those are the ones worthwhile</sub>

END SCENE.

Dread

"Mommy!" she cried. I stumbled out of bed and grabbed my body to Sara's bedroom in a zombie -like motion. "Is it the monster again?" I asked in a groggy tone. For the second time tonight she woke me up for some imaginary thing she made up in her head. As I walk into the room she is under her blanket. "He's back mommy." she said with trembling lips. "Where is he this time?" I said while rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. "He went into my closet." I walked towards the closet and as I open it I say to her, "There is no one in here honey." as I opened the closed staring into my daughter's tearing eyes. "Mommy!" she shrieked. I awake in a room consumed with darkness; I crawl in search for anything familiar. I slide my hands against a wall, and then a light comes on behind me. I turn in shock for what I saw was a bed with my daughter placed upon it. I run towards her but I run into an invisible wall, and I figured that it was plexy glass or something. I bang on the glass and call her name, but she can't hear me. The door to her room opens and a man appears with his identity concealed with a black ski mask. Behind that mask I felt he was smirking at me. He sluggishly approached Sara and I feared the worst. I bang on the glass harder and scream for Sara. He runs his fingers through her hair. "NOOOOOO!" I scream. "Leave her alone!" But my cries for her have no effect. He stops and walks towards me and puts his hands against the glass. He knew I was watching. The next thing I knew, the lights shut off and again I am engulfed by darkness, unaware of what is to become of my Sara behind that glass. I can't help her, not this time.

Gassy Horror! (Internal Monologue)

I am in class, everyone is silently reading, and I develop a bad case of gas. I hear my stomach silently gurgle, and I know what wants to come and slip out of the basement. "Oh no, please no. Everyone is quiet. Everyone will hear me." I begin to fidget in my seat because I am desperately trying to fight beast that wants to be released. "Oh my god, I had to eat those burritos for lunch, didn't I. What a stupid mistake. To make matters worse, I had to get gas at the most horrible moment of class. Please Erik, don't fart in front of everyone, everyone will laugh at the sound and make fun of you" I tap my foot viciously, and I am dreading each minute that passes by. "If only I had my agenda so I can go to the restroom. At least I could fart along the way, and fart in the restroom. This is so embarrassing." I turn the pages of my book, and it makes a loud enough sound that I think up of a plan. "I should just far slowly and lightly while turning the pages so that maybe people wont hear me." I release some of the gas, but this person to my left looks at me with curious glance. "Oh my god, I knew someone was going to hear it. Please don't start laughing, then everyone will ask why you're laughing and you will tell them what happened." However, miraculously, he narrowed his focus back to his book. "Oh my god, hopefully he didn't hear. However, I think he did and he is just ignoring it. Oh my god, I really need to get out of this classroom." I look at the clock, "Oh my god, there's still 20 minutes left of this class." I begin to think to myself some more. "Why now! UGH! Why does this have to happen to me? Does this problem happen to anyone else? It sure does not seem like it. I know it is just going to come out on its own free will eventually, I just know it. That is when everyone will hear me. Why I did not stay at home, I do not know. I had to get gas also during SSR, the quietest segment of class, just my luck to. Oh my god, I am still stuck in this class for 15 minutes, the clock is going so slow! Maybe the clocks are running behind today. Oh I hope so. That would be the best, and then I could fart outside of class instead of in it. I would be so relieved if that were to be the case. What are the chances of the clocks being behind though? I don't think that is very likely though, so I probably should not get my hopes up for a miracle like that. 14 minutes left? What the hell! It seems like we have been in this class for the longest time. This SSR crap takes forever. I should just ask my friend if I could just borrow his agenda and use it to go to the restroom. Oh my god, why didn't I think of that before? Never mind, his name is probably all over it, so the teacher wouldn't buy it. I should probably try farting quietly again, see where that takes me...he turned to stare at me again? How can he possibly hear me? Maybe my farts aren't as quiet as I think they are. Ha-ha. This is funny. I keep distracting him from his reading. Maybe he is annoyed by my farting. I wonder what would happen if I were to just let it all go. Just make a big boom in the classroom. That would just be embarrassing, but everyone will laugh and I would probably laugh at the moment as well, but would be embarrassed at the same time. I can just imagine someone else doing that, how funny. 10 minutes left. Of my fucking god! How much longer can this class go for!? For god's sake, he is tormenting me on purpose, I swear! I am so tempted to just run out of this classroom and just let it all out there! My stomach keeps gurgling, NO! Shut up stupid stomach before I stab you. No, I'll never have the guts to stab myself. Sorry tummy. Now, I need something to do to occupy myself and get my attention away from the time. Let’s see. I really can't get up and do anything because I think my gas will just let itself go if I walk around, so that's out of the question. Maybe if I talk to Missy, then the teacher will yell at me and tell me to shut up, and maybe that will make the time go by faster. I love making teachers hush me up. I'm an over excessive talker, I never noticed that. Well, maybe I have noticed it, but I just noticed it right now, at the time being. Oh my god, check myself out, I'm just rambling off like an old oaf. I need to fart so badly, it's not even funny. Haha............fart............that's a funny word. Fart. FART! Shut up stomach, you’re stupid, and I hate you, and I'm sorry for eating that burrito. Next time, I'm sticking to subway. Stupid taco bell, with your bean and cheese goodness. Bean and cheese burrito infatuation. Cheesy potatoes. Maybe the cheese also had to do something with this catastrophic situation I'm in. Haha. Gassy, that's funny also. Two minutes...FINALLY! This SSR crap went by so slow! I'm so excited. I'm going to pack my stuff right now..............Oh my god what does the teacher want now? WHAT! Ten minutes detention because I didn't read? What kind of bull is that!? Oh my god, I'm never going to get rid of this stupid gas.

Today was Valentines Day, a day that was known to be a day full of love, compassion, and affection. I woke up, my nostrils picked up a scent of sweet milk chocolate. As I arose slowly, grinning as I did, my eyes caught glimpse of a stuffed bear at the foot of the bed. Fur like a snowy winter’s day, soft and lush to the touch. I also witnessed lit candles lying on top of my dressers, possibly chocolate scented, making it obvious as to why the room smelled like it did. “Good morning babe.” He said as I was beginning to make myself fully aware of what was going on. There he stood, beneath the threshold. His muscular body, his perfectly chiseled body, perfected muscular tones. He walked towards me, in his silk, red-lipped patterned boxers. I slowly arose from where I lied and I softly tossed him upon the bed. As I crawled on top of him, he placed his hands upon my waist ever so gently. I slowly but passionately kissed his lips. His lips soft, his breath sweet, making me light headed. I slowly made my way down his neck, making him quiver in excitement. I began working my magic upon his perfectly chiseled body. His warmth inflamed my lips as if they were tossed in the pits of hell, and I liked it. I heard him breathing heavily and impatient. As I made him believe that my intentions were to make the quest of going lower I ceased my aroused self just before I reached below his waist line. I looked into his beautiful ocean blue eyes and said, “I need to go to work.” As I lifted myself off his desirably body, he groaned in disbelief and disappointment, but I smiled because I knew that I was a tease. As I readied myself for work, I was thinking about what plans my fiancé had in store for me for when I return from work. As I got into my car, kissed my hubby good bye, I looked forward for what was in store for me that night. However, what I did not know was that my eyes would soon be veiled with red and that I would soon enough be consumed forever in darkness.

I counted away the minutes left until I got to leave work. 6:30, finally! I grabbed my purse, turned of my computer, and took the elevator down to the parking garage; Sarah was next to me to. She walked me to my car, I hugged her goodbye, and I made my way out of the garage. It I arrived back home at exactly seven, and before I went into my home I put on some make up to enhance my beauty. I closed my car door behind me as I made my way to what waited for me. “Click.” I unlocked my door and I entered. It was dark, black as deaths presence. “Honey?” I toggled the light switch, nothing happened. “If this is a joke then you got me. Stop playing!” Next thing I hear, “SMACK!” I feel nothing, I see nothing, and I hear nothing. I woke up in a room, a room red as wine. Where am I, I do not know. How I got here, I am clueless. I make out the room to be my living room. My have been seated in a chair and I am helplessly bound by my hands and feet. Who could have done this to me? Why would someone do anything like this to me? A man suddenly appears from my hallway, his face concealed by a white mask. "Why are you doing this to me?" I ask, tears fluttering down my face. He ran a blade across my face ever so gently, I gasped for I thought he was going to cut me. "Please...please just let me go. I won’t tell anyone." I said with trembling lips. SMACK! He slapped me across the face. My forehead began to trickle blood. I thought to myself, "Oh my god, does he intend to kill me, or just to play around?" Suddenly he jerked his hand upwards towards his face and he flings his mask off. "Honey?" My babe, my love, he was responsible for all this. "Why? Why you doing this to me?" I whimper. "Why? YOU ASK WHY? You filthy whore, how dare you even ask why. You should know exactly why I've bound you bitch!" He slapped me once more, but with the knife this time. He sliced my face, opening wound for more blood to escape. "I found this you slut" He played a video on the TV. "Oh my god! How did you......?" "I have my ways." The video that he played was of me and Bryan, the man I've been seeing behind his back. It was of us fucking, because Bryan thought that it would be fun to video tape ourselves having sex, but I rejected the thought at first but he convinced me. "Oh my god." I began to bawl in tears. "You thought I wouldn't find out? You thought I'd be clueless of what you've been doing?" He slashed the other side of my face so suddenly. "Please Stop!" I cried out for sympathy. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" "Sorry won’t save you now!" He stood behind me, knife at my neck. "You know what the best part about all of this was?" I whimpered, crying for a chance at redemption, "please just let me go. I'm sorry!" He then said to me, "the best part was how I killed your boyfriend in order to get this video!" "NOOOOOOOO!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, thunderstruck about what he just said. He sliced my neck open, leaving my head on hinges with the rest of my body. "Sorry just doesn't cut it in the game of love." He said to me in my final seconds of life. Darkness suddenly takes over. I am dead. Valentines Day was my murderer.

Marked for Death! (Childhood Narrative)

It was my seventh birthday, and all my presents were coming to an end. My hopes were beginning to diminish, breaking into tiny pieces like dishes being thrown against the wall by a disgruntle woman who's pissed at her husband and whose marriage is in need of serious counseling. I asked my mom for one simple thing, one simple darn thing, and I didn't even get that from her. Matter of fact, she didn't get me or my brother anything for my birthday. I got your occasional toys, your occasional selection of clothes, and that sweater that your grandmother get you that she thinks is simply adorable but in reality is hideous beyond all reason. My twin and I were at the point of balling until we saw them. There they were, brand new shiny mossy green bikes, 5 speeds, and all ours. My brother and I did ball at that moment, but from excitement and simple joy. We jumped up and down, screaming our little lungs out, our fat pudgy bodies trying so hard to follow with the momentum of each action. We quickly sprinted as fast as our fat legs could carry us towards our new bikes. We hugged them, hugged our parents, and hugged the bikes again; we were like two little fat kids in a candy store. What we didn't know though, was that these two bikes were to mark us for death.

Our first incident occurred while coming home from our beloved junior high. My brother and I are always in a race to play the Nintendo. Whether it be racing to get up in the morning, to get home after school, or whether it be getting home from jogging at the junior high, it's always a race. Well, my mom used to force us to jog every day around 7, but us being these fat kids, we didn't like exercising. Well, it was a race to finish our laps before each other in order to arrive at our home before one another. My brother finished first because he began before me. He was sweating like a midsummer's day, for he rushed and quickly finished my mom workout standards. "I'm going to beat you home punk!" He cried out while riding away. I was barely beginning mounting my perfect bike that I received for my birthday. I rode right behind him, like a disgruntle driver tailgating a vehicle in front of them as a sign of being in a rush. I was determined to beat him in our race for our Nintendo. We were arriving at the corner of our street, he was sure that he had beaten me, and I was sure of defeat. I heard a screech, and a loud thud, and a CRASH! I looked at my brother ahead of me. He had lost control of his bike and had crashed into our neighbor's car. "Waa-haa!" I heard him cry. Balling as if a bowl of onions had been placed before him. I past him by and cruel as I was I laughed demonically at him for I had accomplished victory. 15 minutes later after I had arrived home he walked in, sniffling and whimpering, with my neighbor whose car he hit beside him. “You need to be more careful from now on okay. I don’t want to hear my car get hit again, or hear you crash for that matter.” He left smiling, and once he left I started snickering. I was like a hyena who laughed at anything possible, but without the excessiveness of the laughter. “Shut up Erik!” he cried out, almost yelling. My neighbor still recalls to this day that situation. He tells us that he and his wife were just watching a movie together when they heard a crash. He told us that he looked out the window and yelled out to his wife, “It’s the twins again, but this time he ran into the car!” He told us that he and his wife were laughing at this time. But my brother’s bike lived to tell the tale and lived to risk my brother’s life once more.

Now, in my situation, it took place on the same street, but a different situation. It was a Saturday afternoon, and my brother and I were anxiously waiting for the clock to hit 9:30, for that was the time my mom had set until we could head on outside to play. We were becoming impatient, as if we were at an airport waiting to be boarded and running late to a family reunion in Georgia. 9:30! Finally it had come. My brother and I rushed outside and didn’t look back, we grabbed our bikes and strode off into our street. What a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the plants were green and full of color, and my neighbor’s car in the corner still had that dent from my brother. An hour had passed and we were growing weary of only riding around our block and around a two block diameter from where we lived, that was my mother’s rule. As I grew more and more fatigued at what we were doing, I devised a new game to play, but that was the decision that marked me for this force called death. I compromised with my brother a little on this new activity, and we both agreed to do it. We decided to have a little bit fun and have a couple of races. We were totally breaking many of my Mother’s rules but also rule number one, “Never try to speed on your bikes boys! You might crash or lose control or something like that,” she told us as we took off on our new bikes for the first time. But, today, that rule would be broken. “On your marks. Get set. GO,” and my brother and I were off to the races. We were having so much fun that some of the other neighbor kids witnessed what we were doing and decided to join in on this fun. We spent about another hour doing this, and it didn’t seem that it would stop any time soon. But, the kids grew fatigued and all decided to head on home, plus it was about 90 degrees out, but we didn’t care one bit. “On your marks. Get set. GO!” We were off once more, but what I didn’t know, was that this race might just be my last! It was Erik in the lead, my brother trailing just behind him. My brother pulled ahead, but Erik just on his tail. OH! Erik just took the lead with this last push to the finish line. Erik has this race in the bag ladies and gentlemen. He’s going, going………….MUNCHED IT! “Oh my god, what just happened?” I thought to myself. I don’t know how it happened, but it did. My brother told me that I had lost control of the bike because of the excessive speeds we were reaching. I just sat their, contemplating on whether or not to get up. I looked around me, I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary, none of my body parts lying about. “I think I’m okay,” I said to myself. But there it was, the sight that began my horrific state that followed. The side of my knee had been slashed. As I fell down to earth from the heights of my bike, my knee had scraped the edge of the fire hydrant that had been sticking out, but at the time I believed that I had been impaled. “Oh my god! My knee, it’s bleeding.” At that moment, I witnessed blood trickling from my battle wound. “OH MY GOD! I’M GOING TO DIE!” My blood was escaping from my body. The cement I was laying on had no right to have my blood droplets splatter upon it. “What’s that?” I looked at my wound, A BONE! Oh my god! My bone was sticking out. “Oh my god. My bone is sticking out,” I cried out and hollered, howling like a howler monkey finding a mate. But what I was to find out later on was that it was only a rock that had been lodged in my severed knee. My brother came cycling towards me. “Get up Erik!” He told me. “My bone Julio. It’s sticking out! I can see my bone!” I cried. “Stop lying stupid. I’m going to tell mom on you.” He replied. How could he possibly think that was lying to him? At this time he strode off to our house, leaving me to fend for myself. I just sat there, crying, wondering what was to happen to me, and thinking that these were my last moments in life. I slowly got up from the curb and hoped on one leg towards my house. “Am I going to make it? Do I have to end it now? What is my mom going to do to me.” All these thought and more ran through my head as I neared my home. I crept the front door open just slightly, for cautionary purposes. I witnessed no one. I tip toes through our threshold and into the kitchen. I tore a napkin from its roll, soaked it in water, and lightly dabbed my abrasion. To my amazement, my “bone” fell from my wound and fell upon the floor. A rock. A rock was to blame for my bone incident. I felt dim-witted now knowing that a rock confused me for my bone. I slightly and gently rubbed the napkin across my cut over and over again. My mom found out later on during the day, but I told her that I was trying to get onto my bike and fell that way. She gave me a questioning gaze, but went on with her business. I also yelled at my brother and gave him a few light blows to his forearm for leaving me, but I forgave him the next day. Death had a hit on me, but I didn’t let him take me. After that, we were to never race again.
