Garret: A Fictional Narrative
The window blinds were torn, the couch, stained red as if it was a slaughterhouse, the basement door had been ripped off the hinges. “What had happened, what kind of inhumane person did this” Garret wondered? Garret walked down the creaky stairs, with every step the stairs whinnied like a horse, his head grew more unstable, like a sinkhole expanding, sending all the buildings within its impregnable reach into a dark and scary abyss, never to be seen again, forgotten. When he reached the end of the stairs, he dropped, at the sight of his two parents dead, right on the ground helpless, lifeless, the 2 people that cared about him dead. The emotions swelled his brain, discomfort, and unstoppable anguish and rage, hopelessness, he needed to do this …show more content…
The man ran toward Garrett, shouting a chant that was inaudible. Garrett eluded the man, and ran, Garrett knew he would be killed if he stopped, he mustered every bit of endurance he had, they had been running for a mere minutes when Garrett spotted a woods. Garrett thought he could demoralize the man by going in the woods, he was mistaken, the man followed determined to kill him. As Garrett ran aimlessly in the woods, he was so focused on running away, he tripped, there was a small branch concealed in under the leaves. Garrett was a sitting duck, waiting to be killed, he had been cut multiple times by branches, he was fatigued, even if he ran, he wouldn't be able to outrun the man for much longer, it was like the adrenaline coursing through his veins, that had precipitated this increase in physical ability, had lost its potency, it was a temporary solution. Garrett saw the man, now walking towards him, his knife glowed in his hand, it was perhaps the only focus other than the man’s satanic smile.The concept of Death and stoicism became all too imminent and menacing, there were no re-spawns like in his games, this was

    He slowly got up from the ground with his brother's lifeless body slung over his shoulder. Blood gushed out of the wound on his arm and onto his clothing, staining it a dark burgundy. As soon as he had completely stood up, bullets from behind him were being fired.

    A tear. A single salty tear drips down a face that has known so much terror yet understands so little. A whimper, calling for comfort. A mouth, which has not seen food for days. Little feet, dragging through the mud, thick with clay and lost belongings. Her eyes trail around her, searching through the sea of canvas for something familiar, something she can recognise as hers. "Rosarita… Rosie?" a plaintive cry stops her and she whips around, she needs to find this voice, it fills her with hope, with calm. She scrambles around ropes and stakes and is swept into the arms she calls her home, because she has not had a home with four solid walls and a roof in a very long time. For now, her family is what supports her.…

    As she tries to calm herself from the fright of the opening door, she looks back at her family to find them no longer staring at her, but now staring at the opened basement door. In the act of her curiosity, Mona cautiously approaches her family. But then suddenly stops because of what she sees next. Her family beginning to raise their arms, pointing down into the deep dark basement. Now, shivers down her spine, Mona walks toward the basement door, trying to see what they are pointing to. She walks closer and closer straining her eyes to see through the thick blackness, while frequently looking back at her family to make sure nothing has changed. But with all her efforts she could not see anything but darkness, so she reaches for the light switch, inside the stairwell, to get a better look. But as she reaches in, something in the black darkness grabs her by the arm and yanks her down, slamming the door behind…

    I made for the closet, crawled into the small, dark, rarely used space, wrapped my fingers around the edge of the door and pulled it shut as well as I could… The sound of a stampede--hundreds of bodies running with purpose. The sound of violence--things crashing and breaking as a series of screams rang out, one in particular, one that I recognized as my father’s, that rose above all the rest. The sound of my front door being pulled from its hinges. The sound of my house being stormed, invaded, ransacked, and looted.…

    Not knowing where to go. But feeling the building rumble and shake in my fear of claustrophobia. I remember hearing “GET DOWN! RUN!” Making a quick mover I jumped forward and make a break for the fire exit, it was crowded with men and women crying in pain, I joined them. The only thing I could think about is getting out of this place and Michael. I kept on stumbling down the steps holding on to people on my way down. Feeling a terrible pain in my right thigh, I peered down and saw a big gash of blood and a clear shard. I guess I couldn’t feel it because of all the adrenaline. I didn’t have time for this, only for Michael and escaping. From above a sound of falling concrete and metal bending brought an increase of screams. Maybe that woman from earlier was caught up there, so much for being important. I finally found a clearing of light from the exit. Flooding people out of the exit seemed like a liquid rushing out of a beer bottle. Finally, I made it outside but my matters have only gotten worse, the building was collapsing and I’m under everything. A lady grabbed me from the back and pulled me hard, making me drop down. Dodging a cinderblock, thanking her I ran the opposite way of the building and looking for the closest cover. Glancing back I saw people getting crushed from the construction above. There was no time to think, I had to go. Finding a distant building I took cover with the rest of the citizens praying for their life. “What’s happening?” I hollered. An old man next to me said “an attack.” My eyes widened as I watched the building fully collapse upon hundreds and hundreds of innocent people. “Who would’ve done this?” I asked terrified. The man ignored me as he watched the people were panicking. He might be panicking, but not showing his emotion. I calmed down my breathing and took a drink from a kind man giving out bottles from the café, also bandaging my wound keeping…

    He began his new life standing up, surrounded by cold darkness and stale, dusty air. Metal ground against metal; a lurching shudder shook the floor beneath him. He fell down at the sudden movement and shuffled backward on his hands and feet, drops of sweat beading on his forehead despite the cool air. His back struck a hard metal wall; he slid along it until he hit the corner of the room. Sinking to the floor, he pulled his legs up tight against his body, hoping his eyes would soon adjust to the darkness. With another jolt, the room jerked upward like an old lift in a mine shaft. Harsh sounds of chains and pulleys, like the workings of an ancient steel factory, echoed through the room, bouncing off the walls with a hollow, tinny whine. The lightless elevator swayed back and forth as it ascended, turning the boy’s stomach sour with nausea; a smell like burnt oil invaded his senses, making him feel worse. He wanted to cry, but no tears came; he could only sit there, alone, waiting. My name is Thomas, he thought. That … that was the only thing he could remember about his life. He didn’t understand how this could be possible. His mind functioned without flaw, trying to calculate his surroundings and predicament. Knowledge flooded his thoughts, facts and images, memories and details of the world and how it works. He pictured snow on trees, running down a leaf-strewn road, eating a hamburger, the moon casting a pale glow on a grassy meadow, swimming in a lake, a busy city square with hundreds of people bustling about their business.…

    Why Were You Persecuted?

    Well, it all began with me sitting down with my family at the breakfast table munching on a piece of charred toast and guzzling down some milk, which was the very moment of when I heard the delicate sound of sirens coming from the east end of the street. My father’s face grew faint and my mother rapidly stood up and snatched my hand, as well as my brother’s. She then directed us towards the back of the house through a tiny break in the floor. Once we got to the hole, my mom took my brother’s hand and put it inside mine, telling him to guard me. We were placed into the hole and she smooched our heads and then camouflaged the small light we had with a rug. I began to lose it, oblivious of the imprisonment and demolition that laid before me on a silver tray. My brother and I spent a week in that hole, even though it felt like we had been down there for a life span. For the time being, I thought of my parents and where they went and if they would they come back soon for my brother and I? One day, while we were still in the hole, with muscle spasms building up in my legs, I heard footsteps coming from above my head. My brother, praying that it was our parents coming back to rescue us from the endless twilight that we were challenged with, slid the rug over and cropped up with scrunched up eyes. The harsh man standing above us, nevertheless, was not our father, but a man I would soon come to know as a Nazi soldier. The logic of our kidnapping was not because of our offense against the law, but because of my religion, my ethnicity, the way I talked and the way I looked.…

    My adolescent legs strain as I continue along the path aimlessly and my stomach rumbles in emptiness as I realise, I left without food. How can one think of such things at a time like that? I most certainly didn't. Just minutes before leaving for an awesome party one doesn’t remember to do a lot of things and now the only thing dwelling in my gut is the sore pain that was the increasing hate for the cruel beings that have abandoned me here. Lost in my thoughts, my melancholic walking pattern is disrupted as my foot catches on a thick branch in the deceptive darkness and I fall swiftly face first into a small jagged rock. Dazed, I lift myself up from the ground and dust myself off. My left eyelid closes automatically as blood rolls down the top of my face. Cursing, I wipe my face with my white sleeve, soaking the cotton a blackish red instantly. The shock disperses and pain sets in, sharp agony mixed with a strange tingling sensation on my forehead.…

    Days went by and the weather was an accurate reflection of our low spiritedness. Lightening ripped through the sky, and tears fell so fast from the faces of my loved ones; it was hard to distinguish them from the heavy rain. Relatives of mine would visit and show remorse towards my mother. She looked like death and she didn’t care. It was a state of depression she couldn’t see herself through. To those around me my feelings seemed frivolous and so I would sit by the window and observe the birds that flew way above. Slowly I shut my eyes and I could see him. He had come back into my life, but only for a second, until I opened my eyes and saw it was all just a lie. I go to sleep and I know he will be there, but I don’t want to wake up because he will disappear again. All I wanted was for someone to tell me that he was ok and I had nothing to worry about. Nobody ever did. I would saunter for 3 miles…

    Emerson has been grieving every day for two years and now tears are not able to fall from her eyes anymore. She decided to go talk to Brandon in prison. As Brandon walks up the glass, he is very hesitant to pick up the red phone. Ms. Emerson had a smile on her face which confused Brandon. “You took the greatest thing that happened to my life but now here with you to hear your side of the story,” she said. With tears coming down his eyes and face turning bright red. “I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me for the awful act I committed. My sister and I decided to run away from home because we was being treated really poor there. I knew that my sister was very hungry because she could not walk talk. We didn’t have any money so I decided to go look some food. As I was walking through your neighborhood and I notice that your door was open. So I walk in and went toward the fridge and I heard someone walking down the stair. I stood still because I did not know what to. He stared yelling and was going to call the police. I just couldn’t let him call the police because they was going to send us back to a foster house. I just could not let me sister suffer in another foster house. So I grabbed a knife and stab him in the chest. I ran away as fast as I could not knowing what I just did. I promise I did not mean to kill him. I am very sorry for what I did and I hope that I spend the rest of my life in prison so that can bring a smile to your face,” said Brandon.…

    As I released my grip on the pillow that I had used to smother the old man, a sense of relief had flown through the vein in my neck like a bird’s wings flowing through the midnight air. The thought of his eye no longer piercing my soul gave me a sensational chill that I have never felt before. Truly I have done my justice in this world, but this feeling of justice only lasted yet a brief second. For now I have to hide what I have done. I look down at the boards on the floor that flow throughout the house, a great place to place the old man. I drag his body down the hall to the guest room and place him under the boards in there. As I fix the floors a ring followed by a continuous thumping of the old man’s heart beat was playing in my ear like a million man orchestra.…

    I felt empty and incomplete. The door had been closed, but I could still feel the breeze that slowly crept up my back, as I sat there in the dark, hopeless. The sorrow had made its way to my eyes, and tears dropped one by one, on the hard cement, echoing through by ears. The cement floor was covered with tiny blood spots, and only a few feathers were left unnoticed by them. I grabbed the feathers, clenched my fist around them, as I looked up at the crack on the unending wall. The crack was the closest thing I could get to the sky; even if I was unable to see the sky physically, I was able to picture it, by listening to the sounds that the birds made, as they flew past the crack.…
