Runout Camp Creative Writing
As we drove into the large metal gates the hazel brown dust exploded and was electric with energy. My stomach began to turn and my knees became very feeble. We got out and in a flash my mind blanked and my Mom uttered, goodbye. I then tried to vocalize a small word to myself “let it begin.” It all started in my second year of Junior high. I was alerted by my mother who had a satisfying grin on her face. I was in disbelief of what she proclaimed both in fear and excitement. She said with anticipation, her eyes glowing with a teaming brown that during my summer I would be attending camp Tekawitha an all catholic camp. As she passed me her phone one thing stuck out like sore thumb. “No electronics allowed.”
It hit me like a baseball bat. The

His smile shined like the sun beaming down upon all of us. He gave me the rundown about this place. When he was talking he was cut off from a voice in the halls that pierced the air like a Fighter Jet. He ordered everyone to step out into the hall for a briefing. And with one solid step the whole cabin stepped into the hall. What began after the was an event so horrible, so indescribable I can't even speak of it. Each counselor began to do a very rapid dance to show of their avid minds. After that appalling dance, they called an robust intro our whole cabin marched out the door to the canteen where we would begin our first heinous meal. As time went on meals concluded and the first day with all of its ups and downs concluded but the night has not began yet. The night was silent the only sound I could here was the creaky and scratching of the iron bunks. As my mind faded I slowly began to falls fast …show more content…
As groups began to hurry outside the thick cooling air was pushed along my face like a icy sheet. Our cabin then proceeded to move towards to the citadel of the region, the local church. Its beauty shrouded the sky in a thick gaze. As groups rushed In like slimy bugs in the rain people sat down and the room was almost silent and then church began. After church concluded we all ran in towards the canteen and filled our stomachs with sweet delectable honey filled breakfast pastries, everyone felt bloated like a swollen tick. The male part of our camp then was assigned to clean the bathrooms while the female majority was ordered to clean the horrific kitchen. Our group made it apparent that the the six of us can clean a bathroom in twenty five seconds. As I look back I think that we were disgusting, but at the time it was an achievement we could all dance to. We then began our long day on a path, a path that reminded us of our

    The fog was at its worst today. Sometime between the Shock Stop and the showers, I remember fogging up, and fading out. After the fog had cleared, I found myself in the dayroom. I tried to remember whether I was brought to Seclusion or the shaving room. I concluded that I was put into Seclusion, but that I did not have breakfast. As I attempted to recall what happened this morning, I felt a sudden jerk in the gears. Then he came in. He was unlike any of the admissions here. He came in, refusing to shower. He states that he willingly came to the Combine to find new blood for his gambling. His grin, wall to wall, surrounded the Combine, and his laugh was an actual laugh, never before heard on the Inside. Either the Big Nurse, or the Black Boys did anything. The redheaded man wore a devilish grin, a dirty hat, and raggedy old work farm clothes.…

    As he sat stiff backed and upright in the hard wooden chair, Jotham looked around anxiously. He could only see three of the walls, and the ceiling, if he craned his neck upwards, but that was enough to make him very uneasy indeed. They were grey and bare - not silver grey, but a horrible murky grey, that made it seem like everything was closing in on him. The room was rectangular; not at all wide; there was perhaps a metre between him and the nearer two walls, but it was extremely lengthy; probably about fifteen metres long.…

    The train ride to the camps was long and quite eventful, it took weeks. The very first day, a young man discovered an unlocked roof hatch. He decided he was going to jump off, an idea most people met with disapproval. For him, it must have been like making an offensive joke amongst a crowd of strangers. He climbed up anyways, and we could see through a crack in the sliding door him jumping off. We heard shots fired, and saw him dive into a creek, holding…

    My natural high is running. Running is my natural high because I spend most of my free running whether it’s long, short distance or marathons. When running, your body releases a hormone called endorphins. Endorphins interact with the receptors in your brain that reduce your perception of pain. Endorphins make your body undergo a positive disposition, like morphine.…

    Asylum Narrative

    Entering the asylum was always drudgery, especially at its now increased frequency. Being strikingly dull and depressing, the process was ingrained in my mind. I pulled up into the visitor parking, entered through those stone cold doors, shared pleasantries with the same sallow stone lady at the desk, scanned my card to enter, and there I was, inside the deathly hole the unfortunate call home. Once inside, the corridors become long and thin. An odd odor permeated the whole facility, a scent that even my clothes smelled of now. Moreover, against the gray concrete walls stood the despicable shadows of the inmates, hiding away in their cells.…

    I could faintly hear laughing and singing coming from the camp fire. The closer I got to the barrier, the more nervous I became. What if they don’t want me back? What if everyone hates me? Now I stood directly in front of the entrance to camp. Just as I was about to walk through I broke down. “I can’t do this! I can’t go back, no one wants me here!” I screamed as I collapsed to the ground with tears streaming down my faces. I couldn’t hold myself together, I have had enough. I curled up into a ball and began to shake. After that everything went kind of fuzzy. I remember a voice calling out my name. Then a pair of muscular arms wrapped around my body and cradled me. I’m pretty sure I was brought back to cabin. After that everything went…

    January 31: Some people in town still assert that the camp is a haven of bliss. Well there are eyes and no eyes. I was at the camp today, and just in one little corner this is the sort of thing I found. A girl of 21 lay dying on a stretcher-the father, a big gentle Boer, keeling beside her; while, next tent, his wife was watching a child of six, also dying, and one of about five drooping. Already this couple had lost three children in the hospital, and so would not let…

    My Mentor Reflection

    I still remember the first step I took on the gravel road, wide-eyed and wary. Of the entirety of my 12 years on this earth, I was going to be away from my friends and family for the first time. When I told my friends I was going away to Camp Speers for a week they all had similar reactions, usually along the lines of “You mean that place we visited in 6th grade with the powdered eggs?” Most confused on why I would choose to spend a week of my summer getting eaten by mosquitos and away from the comfort of dramatic TV shows and a computer mouse. These concerns clouded my mind as I walked through the door of Cabin 9, only to be cleared away by the warm greeting of my new cabin-mates and counselor. As the week went on, I learned a variety of…

    As I entered the ship, I looked around and thought to myself this is what I will call home for the next seven days. Tall beautiful glass elevators, stairs that lit up the room, and expensive looking furniture was what awaited us in the lobby. We eagerly waited for our floor to be called so we can get settled in our rooms. While we waited we were greeted by smiling faces, a guy playing on a grand piano, and waitresses serving drinks. We watched the faces on the other guests while they entered, reminding me of a little kid on Christmas morning. After waiting about an hour our floor was called and our luggage was waiting by our rooms. We entered the small but comfortable cabins where chocolate and towel origami’s sat on our perfectly made beds. Unpacking as fast as we could we couldn’t wait to go explore the ship. First, we find ourselves on the top deck waving goodbye to…

    To my horror, I was handed over to one of the servants of my master's house. He never took good care of me and hardly washed me. I looked horrifying and smelt awful. I was made to walk on rocky streets and muddy lanes. Sometimes banged against the walls and sometimes stepped over by high-heeled sandals, I was badly hurt. I wept for being in…
