how i became
The party I will never remember
Maybe it wasn’t the right hour for setting out, the sun too blazing or too uncertain. Maybe it was a road that belonged to another, never really yours.
The rays pieced the veil which was my room, my eyes burned from the light streaming through the blinds. I felt my surroundings warp around me; I could feel the wetness beneath of the previous night’s events. Unfortunately I had vomited on myself in my drunken endeavours, my ears rang, and my head spun, I could possibly have the worst hangover of the century. I have no memory of last night in my drunken state; I felt my pockets for evidence. All I could find was my wallet, car keys, someone else’s identity and I had lost my own, not knowing who I was. I then having a vague idea of where I was at last night set off to find an understanding of who I am and what had happened to me the previous night.I walked around my house looking for remnants of the previous night, I stumbled upon a figure sleeping on my couch, he was a stocky male around 6ft, and I hesitantly nudged him trying to wake him. His eyes opened wide neither one of us knew what was going on. Till he leapt from the couch and embraced with a hug, it felt like a bear was squeezing the life from me. After a few awkward moments he said “bro that party was mad” I thought my party, what party. I then began to converse with this stranger “who am I” with a confused look he replied. “John what’s wrong with you, are you that hungover”. “Who the f### is john, I can’t remember john” I ask the stranger in a demanding tone.
The stranger takes a minute to comprehend what I have just dropped upon him as he had no recollection of me informing him of my current memory state. He then turned and looked at me puzzled “Have you lost your memory”, asked the stranger. The stranger then says in a happy tone “I am Paul, nice to meet you john, let’s see if we can get your memory back”. John and Paul then left searching for John’s identity as he

    Tired, with a headache, and not in capacity to maintain my eyes open, I remembered next day was Halloween, which was the last thing I remembered before falling sleep. I woke up and saw the watch, it was three o’clock a.m. I listened to a weird sound that came from my closet; it was soft, but I could hear it like a rat scratching the walls. Intrigued about what was happening, I woke up and walked towards the closet. The sound gave me the chills.…

    I know it’s a bleak scene, but I’m happy here. I don’t care that I have no stuff. The other three apartments in the building are filled with sober friends and I know this is where I’m supposed to be right now. I cook some food and prepare to relax and process the stuff that just happened on my yoga mat. As I lay down, there is something weird going on in my body, and I don’t understand what it is but I am aware of every single scar on my arms, each place I stuck a needle. I can feel all the pain I caused myself and all of the damage that I did. I know I am in desperate need of more healing.…

    I woke up in terror, I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t move, all I could do was sit there with shear fear. How is it that after all this time I still have these terrible dreams filled with uncontrollable guilt? Fifty years ago, Fifty years ago and even after all this time I can't seem to ease my pain. Hearing Mary call from downstairs I got up and headed to the kitchen. Mary is my live in maid. “Good Morning, Montresor. How did you sleep?” She looked actually concerned; I should just tell her it might help to tell someone. No, that is a terrible idea. “Good morning, Mary. I slept well thank you for asking. I'm headed to the study let me know when breakfast is ready.” I walked slowly into the study, I know I shouldn’t go in there, every time I…

    It was a casual August afternoon in Minneapolis, people walking the down the sidewalk, strangers passing by. We were visiting my old hometown. I was walking with Beth, and we were messing around. I used to have an inside joke with one of my friends from fifth grade, “Girl you need to chill.” It stuck once I moved. Anyway, Beth had just told me to chill, so, I walked into the nearest cold building. Which of course, ended up being a meat locker… 15 minutes later I was coming out and saw an all too familiar pair of square glasses. Before I could see her face, she turned away. Her bleached tip hair swung across her shoulders. The dark skin, the hair and glasses, it had to be Miracle Brown. This is the girl who was one of my best friends in sixth grade. She started heading down the street, so I told Beth to meet me back at our hotel.…

    I entered into the new house, it was so empty. I could feel the weight in the air. The cold, frightening new air. I walked over to what is now my parents room, I rolled the sleeping bag onto the carpet, and slept on the floor. Something felt strange, I was sleeping on carpet. Never before had I fallen asleep on carpet. Always on hardwood floor. I recall falling asleep in sorrow, trying to grasp a little bit of hope out of myself. I tried to see the best in the situation, but all I could think about was the people I just left, all I could think about was the past. I couldn’t bring myself to the present. My mind and heart still in Ecuador, my cold body here. This was probably one of the worst moments of my life. I don’t think I have ever cried so much. I don’t think that I’ve ever felt so isolated. I didn’t know who I was. Everything that made me had the reset button pushed on it. All of my pride and courage felt lost. I felt so weak. I needed to become someone new.…

    Startled, you get woken up by the police officers barging into your room, you notice the door has been kicked down and you are being yanked by the limbs. Unaware of why this is happening you start to scream and kick at the officers. Next thing you know you get hit in the side of the head and you black out. What feels like days later, you awaken in a dark and empty room. At least that's what you believe. Out of thin air you hear a chuckle come from the corner of the room. Yelling hello you hope for a voice that can answer all the questions you've collected in your head. This mysterious chuckle begins stepping forward, starting to become a dark shadow now in the middle of the room. You begin asking him what's happening and why you are here.…

    My eyes snap open and the image of a room slowly focuses into my vision. I look around wondering where I am and become aware of a loud shrill noise. Then I remember, this is my place now, this is where I live and that clock needs to stop beeping. Slowly I get out of bed and look into the mirror asking myself the same question as I always do, "Why am I getting up, its not like there is anything for me to do." My room is nothing like I remember it from last night. Last night I had strewn the clothes I was wearing all about the room and sequentially thrashed it by everywhere looking form my pajamas that I somehow never seem to find. Now, my room is all clean. At least the clothes had provided some color to…

    “Mom, mom, mom, mom!” I was practically screaming. I already knew what she was going to say. I just sat back on the couch and watched as a tear streamed down my face into my hand. I eventually fell asleep on the couch. I woke up at three in the morning and I could see the sun peaking out with the stars and moon retreating back until another night. I don’t know what came across me but I thought to myself why people are so cruel. I looked outside to see if anyone was out there. I just saw an empty street, just like one of those old ghost towns in old western movies.…

    I couldn’t sleep at all last night. The nightmare of the past events haunted me all throughout the night. The visage of the body being laid out and defiled in the middle of the cold, barren road was still within my head like looking at myself in the mirror. I was near the brink of collapse, unable to bear what had just happened. I stayed in bed till about midday when I woke up from my slumber, my face dry from tears.…

    It was morning, but something was not right. I felt strange like my body was not my own. I was in the same room, yet something was different. I got up looked in the mirror and was astonished at what I saw. I felt that what I was looking at could not be a mirror because the images I saw were not of me. I saw a poorly shaven man of about twenty-five staring back at me. He was thin and looked like death had barely escaped him. He was scary, although what scared me the most is thinking about what had happened to…

    My adolescent legs strain as I continue along the path aimlessly, 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, and now the only thing dwelling in my gut was the sore pain that was the increasing hate for the cruel beings that raised me. Lost in my thoughts my melancholy walking pattern is disrupted as my foot catches on a thick branch 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 sleeve, soaking the cotton a blackish-red instantly. The shock dissipates and pain sets in, sharp agony mixed with a strange tingling sensation on my forehead. I forcedly push the pain to the back of my mind, and go to take my next step just as a small blue spherical object reflecting the moon catches my eye on the edge of the track. Interested, I walk over to it, and pick it up in my hands. After examining the dirt caked ball, images of my younger brother flash through my mind. Times spent together, kicking a ball in the backyard, taking him to his first movie, and then screams of pain, blood, oh god the blood is.... The ball drops to the ground as my hand trembles from the horrible images. I kick it far away off the trail in anger as Im reminded of the situation Im in. The smoky scent of a…

    Running-Personal Narrative

    It’s cold,damp and misty. The fog covers my view of everything in front of me. I can only hear the sounds of both the shouting of the men following me and the footsteps of my acquaintance ahead of me. The urge to keep running surges through my veins. My mind is clouded due to the adrenaline. Adrenaline, what an interesting thing. It seems to take over your body. Almost as if there’s another hand on the steering wheel controlling my body. I begin to slow down in exhaustion. There is a shooting pain in my legs and the adrenaline can only help so much. My acquaintance whose name is Robert, I’ve known for a long time. All I know is that he came with me when I escaped the horrors of the place known as Fairfield. I don’t remember my time in there…

    I faintly remember what happened that night, that’s the reason why I’m sitting here. I can’t think clearly, see straight and yet I continue to see glimpses of him, his baby blue eyes, greasy black hair and oily face that sheds a smile every so often. I didn’t mean for everything to be this way, I feel as if it’s my fault, that maybe I’m the suspect. I feel as if there’s a blunt knife digging deeper into the guilty walls of my soul. As I peer around the room, I notice one streak of sunlight, fighting for survival in the dark and dampened room.…

    My Experience of Darkness

    • 563 Words
    • 3 Pages

    When I woke up in the darkest abyss I’ve ever been through, I feared that I was stuck in a dream that I couldn’t wake up to. I thought about all that I had gone through with those people, why couldn’t I just hang on a little bit longer. So I cried. I cried for my life and my past, the present. I wondered why God didn’t lead me rightfully down the acceptable path, then I realized it was a moment for me to decide my own fate, my own course. In this darkness, I had no idea what was left, or right, behind me or ahead of me. It seemed the moment I got up, I saw something above my head, it was yellow and hardly out of reach. I stretched for it and tried to reach it and failed. Again. I walked forward and felt a solid wall and tried to climb it with no success. Then, I heard a voice not my own fill the abyss of darkness, I cried out, “Who’s there? Do you have light in this darkness?” The mystery person said in reply, “I am below the light, just like you, but I am here to help you with your problems.” Not knowing what he meant, I followed the voice up what felt like a flight of stairs. I saw the yellow beam, it’s the light! I continued towards him and he started to just sound familiar. I cried out, “Peter!” My uncle who died from Leukemia in 1999, how could it be him, he died 10 years ago. He called to me, “yes, Liz, its me follow my voice.” I followed it out of the abyss into a long bright meadow with nothing but wildflowers and vines, but when I got out completely, there was no one there. Just the end of a rainbow at the other side of the meadow. Its beauty shocked me so I walked towards it in a gaze, when an eagle came down representing my pride and swiped my jacket off my back then flew away. I continued to walk in fear and a rabbit jumped into my path representing my disloyalty and wouldn’t move in. I ran and it stilled covered my path. Peter said, “apologize and be truthful and you won’t have to worry for its just a rabbit.” I did as I was told but had no idea who to…
