“1083. Got it,” I said. I then placed everything back in order so that my father would not know we had been rifling through his things. We hurried down to the lab and stood a moment before the door. “Come on, man. Open it,” Bob urged. I sighed, promised myself we’d be in and out, and reluctantly entered the code. The electronic lock clicked, and I opened the heavy steel door. We entered the lab. I didn’t bother turning on the lights since the various electronic consoles and devices that filled the lab provided sufficient lighting. “Man! This is so cool!” Bob exclaimed. I wasn’t awestruck like Bob, having seen the lab before, but I still held fascination for my father’s work and hoped to discover his current project. We were only in the …show more content…
“Alright, dad,” I said. *** It’s been months since the incident. When I ask about Bob, my father only tells me that he’s close to the solution, but the way he says this suggests he’s only telling me what I want to hear. Bob lived with his father; his parents divorced when he was little, and his mom isn’t in the picture. His father was working the day Bob came over, and Bob was definitely not the type to leave a note saying where he was. Besides, I know he had planned on being back home before his father got back from work that day. People say Bob ran away, and his lackluster performance at school makes this seem plausible. His father won’t hear it, though, and maintains that his son wouldn’t have run away, that something must have happened to him. I try to stay clear of Bob’s father. I worry that someday I’ll feel compelled to tell him the truth. In the end, I find myself desperately clinging to hope. I hope that my father discovers how to neutralize the organism and that he is willing to face the difficult consequences of helping my friend, be they time in prison and the separation of our family. But what I hope even more is that my friend, silently residing in our basement, is unaware. I hope he's asleep but not
Through a few different phone calls and some schematics (like when Bob faked his death and acted as a Private I) Bob gets Leo's vacation address and the next moment he's in Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire. Standing in the middle of the street Bob shouts until he sees Leo. Annoyed and disturbed, Leo agrees to meet with him under one prerequisite; If they meet Bob must promise to go back to New York the following day. Waiting to meet with Leo, Bob becomes familiar with the owners of the diner who happen to hate Leo Marvin for stealing their dream home. The envious couple takes Bob to Leo's home and he arrives at the back door. Baffled, Leo tried to put things into perspective for Bob by writing him a perscription that reads "take a vacation from ...

Laurie lied about who Charles was to be able to talk to his parents about something without them knowing that Charles did not exist and that he was the one committing all of the acts that were claimed to be Charles. Laurie had lied about Charles in every scenario that had truly been him, both positive and negative, this means that Laurie had lied to his parents quite a lot, making himself a rather large liar. One of these many instances occurred when “Charles yelled during story hour and hit a boy in the stomach and made him cry. ”(347), once again lying about who had really completed those acts. Even so, Laurie’s mother still found out about Charles at the PTA meeting when “ No one mentioned Charles” (349), and after confronting the teacher learned that Charles did not exist and that Laurie had committed all of the misconducts.
He tells his father, and wants to tell everyone else, but his father tells him it will be hard to tell the people the truth.
He lead me over to station and everyone was staring at me as if i were the last piece of consumable food left on the whole planet. He sat me down in my chair, it was incredibly comfortable. The keyboard in front of me was also super comfortable and as I looked up my eyes were amazed to see a 42” plasma flat screen TV that had hundreds of wired connected to it.
Luxora runs over and jumps on me. I know this might sound bad but, she's the only Asian I know that's as ditzy and boy crazy as a stereotypical blonde. I don't exactly know how we became friends, but maybe I'm just losing my memory.
"Heads up!" Gladio called out, knocking a few daemons back as they tried to advance on

Yesterday I was in my uncle's basement and found a million dollars. “Let's go play in the basement,” Andrew yelled.
My knees knocking together, quivering in fear I couldn’t scream anymore. I squeezed my eyes open. Worried about what fears was lying ahead. Someone or something turned the corner and It came at me. I couldn't move paralyzed in fear for all I knew I was dead.Then in screamed in my face. Wait hold on if i'm going to tell the story i need to tell it from the beginning.
One time i was with my guys out. We were in a nice neighborhood, it was late night, the houses are nice by where we were. It was nice but, it smelled like old dirty bums, and smelled like garbage.Walking through the neighborhood, we would hear some cars pass by, we couldn't really see how they looked because it was to dark out, we would sometimes hear people but i think those were the bums on the corners and alleys, we heard a lot of cop sirens around, but it didn't bother us because that's how it usually is at night, so we weren't worried.
Her lips sore from faking smiles throughout the day began to sag into her native frown as she got in front of her mirror sighing. Her light, silver-like hair hung loose in ringlets that touched her waist and would bounce with every movement she made. She wore a beautiful mask of creams and color that hid the exhaustion she felt everyday. Her blue eyes, that began to glisten wet with tears as makeup ran down her face leaving black streaks on her cheeks, it’s contrast like a zebra’s stripes. Everyday was a struggle to keep up with all the expectations that lie on her shoulders, the ones from her family, friends, and society. Balancing grades that determined her future, the social life she wanted to maintain yet was so tired of dealing with, and
“I, I, don’t know,” Joe stutters, “I went to the bathroom and something just hit me, I can’t explain it.” “Oh no, Joey,” Cara said with concern, “maybe you are just hungry, the food should be here soon.” “Yeah, maybe,” Joe said as he takes a sip of water. Overcome with joy, I am tickled pink with this entertaining display. I curl up the corner of my lip as I sarcastically mock Cara, I know something you don’t know, laughing hysterically. Of course Cara can’t hear me right now, but still, this shit is pretty funny.
I wake up in an unfamiliar room. I am tied to the wall and handcuffed. I have no memory of how I arrived here.
In After Twenty Years, Bob changes in a negative way, which most people would hope to not change like that. I think one of the hardest things to deal with is when you find out someone has changed in a negative way. For example, when you haven't seen a family member in a long time, and they have a new habit that could effect them or other people. Or even when they get married or have kids, and they didn't care to tell you. Also, it is a big deal when a friend makes bad decisions despite what you'll think of it. This example applies to the story, however; Jimmy still couldn't apply enough anger and sadness to call Bob out himself. This leads to the idea that it is better to do the right thing, even if you have to modify what you
