A Gloomy Day
It was a beautiful day and the beginning of fall around noon, to be precise, and I was on my regular lunch break. The birds chirped a melody of joy and the grass stood perfectly even and glimmered a dark satin green. It was a day I wanted to be to extra thankful for because of the beautiful surrounding natures had offered for the day, but unfortunately life had a curve ball to throw at me that would instead make me wish I was blind to everything in life. It hit me right in the face and wanted to leave me on the schools dirty pavement in the hallway. The pain was in my heart not my face, all I was is shocked by this time. The sound of the birds and beautiful grass didn't exist anymore, but the feeling of being alone and confused did now. We were inseparable they say, and bonded by a feeling so deep one could not dare attempt to tare us apart. Well, lets just say I was wrong and the feeling of stress and inconvenience decided to attempt and succeed at breaking us up. I went on about my Tuesday school day with the feeling of numbness and disappointment in my gut and my heart going un-noticed by this time. I made my round over to my friends at lunch just to see if there comfort would help me up off of the deep hole I felt I’v fallen into, or pushed, I have no idea which one. Anyway, when the melody of the birds died and the grass became dull of it’s color, I just knew it was time to allow my father to finally be there for me and come get me out of school. After my father signed me out of school I sat lank and motionless on my families tan living room couch. The mixed wood floors caught my eyes, blinding me, as the sun reflected through the window above the couch and onto the wood floor. My cat stood perfectly over by the bannister making eye contact with me and brushing his body up against the wall just waiting to be noticed by me, so he could waltz his fat Siamese body over to me and jump up on my lap. There he would leave a bunch of tedious white cat hairs all

    I never thought me, of all people, would experience such a sorrowful day. I have tried to forget it time and time again; but the reality is I will always remember every miniscule detail, moment, word, and facial expression on that particular day. My heart managed to shatter into a million pieces, leaving me without a reason to pursue my existence. My salty tears freely rolled down my warm cheeks, causing my eyes to burn sensationally. I remember mourning on the comforting shoulders of my family members, as they too were consumed by their feelings. The most valuable lesson that beared a reservation in my spirit was to cherish every moment and loved one, for tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone. I wish I could have fathom this reality before the climactic tragedy struck me like a ton of bricks. Although death is normal, it seemed almost foreign when it abducted the life of my favorite uncle.…

    Adeline and I were very good friends and anytime we played doubles in ping pong or badminton, we would always pair up together. I found out that she loved to read as much as I did, so I would lend her some of my children’s books and she would help me with my arithmetic. I should of saw how she was suffering that morning when I caught her struggling to get to school, but I didn’t think anything of it when she said she enjoyed walking.

My father stopped the car and asked her if she wanted a ride, but Adeline politely…

    I sat in my room for a long while weeping before I heard a familiar noise outside. I rushed to the door peering out just before I saw that same angry girl jumping into my flower bed destroying my flowers. I felt that all the happiness I had ever had was being sucked out of me with every stomp that girl was taking on my marigolds. By the time I got to my flowers they were all gone. I couldn't even find it in me to yell at her stood there in astonishment and a wave of sadness washed over me. It was almost as if my whole life was taken away from me from this careless little girl who was only thinking of herself. I wanted to scream I but I just couldnt. I felt tears forming in my eyes, I forgot the girl was there before I heard her scarce and quivered voice, “M-miss Lottie!” she had said before she hurried to her feet. Her eyes were swollen as she looked up into my sad and weary eyes. I stood there for a moment before I turned away and went inside to my room. I thought to myself, this is a dream I will wake up in a little bit and my flowers will be there when I wake up, but in the back of my mind I knew they were…

    Sitting in the freezing rain on a December afternoon wondering what I did so wrong to be thrown out of my house. I look into the puddle that was formed due to the accumulation of the rain. As I lean forward to look into it all I see is a reflection of a child that was misunderstood and used his entire life. This child was me.…

    Today is one of those rare days in which it is raining and I’m sitting on the windowsill waiting for a sign. Something that says ‘move on’. There is still a part of me that hopes every day that you're alive and I haven't found you yet. I will have searched the far corners of the earth before I let myself believe you dead. I dream of you every night, then wake with the bitter taste of regret fresh in my mouth. You abandoned me. You have marooned me on this earth, and it is dark without your light by my side. All that fills my mind is when you were still beside me. I distinctly recall one summer when we were not quite children anymore and still too young to be adults. It was raining so hard that the streets were flooded for the first time in eighty years, and you had insisted on escaping to the desert.…

    Torment, grief, and death are the epiphany of my childhood if you could even call it that. A bath of my mother’s deep red blood engulfs her body as she lays bare floating in the tub with her wrists slit dripping on the floor. My father crouches over her pale body holding her in his arms releasing an ear piercing wail that fill his burdensome eyes with a stream of tears. I crumble in the wake of my mother’s death I felt as if death was gripping my throat straining my breaths making me unable to relieve the heaviness that clutches my chest. I slumped to my knees at the sight of my mother’s stiff body as if the weight of her death dawned on me drawing me closer to the blood stained floor. A combination of emotions arose from me as heat flushed my cheeks with rage, sadness, and bafflement that consumed my every thought after that day. I clenched my fist tightly holding my gut wrenching agony in my hands as I shout “Mommy! Wake up. I promise I will be better if you come back to me.” As a rush of heated tears trickle from my cheeks that sizzles when touching the ground.…

    Tears poured down my face. The tears won’t stop I thought they would never stop. I laid there at night wishing someone would know. Anyone. Someone. But no one ever knew the truth because I didn’t know where they would send me, or what would happen to me. Then my alarm clock blared reminding that I had to go to school. I didn’t even sleep at all.

    The four years of high school were four of the most difficult years of my life to date. In those years, while most other students faced struggles were based in such situations as, fitting in with the right clicks, looking their best to impress their crush, or getting that perfect GPA for college applications, I considered it a great accomplishment to make it out of my bed and to school each morning. In those four years, I faced more loss than most people my age could imagen, much less see for themselves. My freshman year my grandfather passed away of hairy cell leukemia after a yearlong battle. My sophomore year, my best friend took her own life, my great aunt was taken by lung cancer, and my cousin’s life was cut short by SIDS at only seven days old. The summer between my junior and senior years, my other grandfather lost his battle with brain cancer; I was there when he passed on. Shortly thereafter, and right before graduation, my family pet of nearly 15 years fell ill and died with thyroid cancer. I was starting to feel alone, my mind drifted to dark…

    I closed my eyes, and breathed in. Wet tear drops slid down across my rosy cheeks, and once it began, I couldn’t stop. Dark thoughts were tackling inside my brain, and there was no silver lining to it. I had one job in my life, to become a normal straight teenage boy and I couldn’t do it. The music started to get louder, the world started to get blurrier, and I couldn’t handle it. What was my purpose in this world? My cries kept on growing stronger, and so did my thoughts.

    A month later as the sun warmed the streets and the beautiful skies were blue, our newly neighbor had moved in and had a beautiful grey and white cat, who had a white streak of fur down her face, walked the streets of our neighborhood. Our neighbor surely did not care much about the cat, only because it came to our house to eat some food and sleep in our garage when she forgot to bring the cat inside at night. My family and I started to become attached to this beautiful angel. At the time, she was very skinny and had not much flesh on her bones. She was maybe a year old as well.…

    Days went by like years. Months went by like decades. Suddenly, the thick air hit me and the clouds grew thicker, making it seem harder to breathe. Looking up at the arrival time of his train, I thought, He’s late! I panicked. The worry in the pit of my stomach was unbearable, gnawing like wolves on a dead animal. My head was spinning, pounding, aching from his absence. My heart felt like exploding, I could hardly contain myself. He will be back, he has to be. We need him back, we are falling apart. We need him to care for us, love us, and hold us tight. It is my job to take…
