A bright light stings my eyes as I come to. I look up to see where I am, the place is familiar but I can't seem to bring back the memory of this place. I notice in a cornor a dark red stain and something next to it. A body? A corpse. I try to get up but I'm held down. I look to see what held me down to see I've been tied to a chair. I hear a flip of a light switch and another light turns on, making it possible to see the corpse better, Or should I say corpses. For one of them, while the face is no longer intact I could tell by the hair and clothes that it was my best friend's older brother, Rie. He had his face completly ripped apart and his torso cut open with his internal organs ripped out. The other corpse was ripped apart so much that I couldn't tell who it was. …show more content…

WHY? WHY!? WHY ARE THERE CORPSES HERE!? WHY IS RIE DEAD!? WHO'S THE OTHER CORPSE!? WHO DID THIS!? WHO COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS!? WHO COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS!? AM I NEXT? I DON'T WANT TO BE NEXT! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! My mind swirled in to despair and I could feel tears stream down my face. What had happened? Why are they dead? What had happened? What had happened? "Darren." A voice calling my name breaks my thoughts. A voice I know well and the memories came swirling back and my stomach churned and it felt like I was falling through air and I wanted to throw

  • The Butcher's Tale Sparknotes

    Tragically, the butchered upper-torso of Winter’s once-robust body was stumbled upon by his father, who had noticed the absence of his son since Sunday, March 11 (Smith 2002, 25-26). Unsurprisingly, an investigation occurred to obtain the identity and whereabouts of the murderer. When the various pieces of the body are found in differing areas of the town, theory begins to formulate that the murder was conducted by one of the two butchers in town; Adolph Lewy, a Jew, and Gustav Hoffman, a Christian, due to the precision of the cuts made upon Winter’s body (Smith 28).

    The funeral was supposed to be a family affair. She had not wanted to invite so many people, most of them strangers to her, to be there at the moment she said goodbye. Yet, she was not the only person who had a right to his last moments above the earth, it seemed. Everyone, from the family who knew nothing of the anguish he had suffered in his last years, to the colleagues who saw him every day but hadn’t actually seen him, to the long-lost friends and passing acquaintances who were surprised to find that he was married, let alone dead, wanted to have a last chance to gaze upon him in his open coffin and say goodbye.

    I looked up at Gabriel from the grass. I never actually got to inspect the full extent of his features. His dark brown hair was tussled and looked as if he had been running his fingers through it from stress. His green eyes resembled emeralds. He had a bit of muscle on him, but he wasn’t too broad shouldered. You could see a small rose tattoo on his upper bicep. He wore a dark green t-shirt and jeans. He was definitely handsome, and all his features complimented each other.

    The Creature That Opened My Eyes Sympathy, anger, hate, and empathy, these are just a few of the emotions that came over me while getting to know and trying to understand the creature created by victor frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For the first time I became completely enthralled in a novel and learned to appreciate literature not only for the great stories they tell but also for the affect it could have on someones life as cliché as that might sound, if that weren’t enough it also gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the idiom “never judge a book by its cover.” As a pimply faced, insecure, loner, and at most times self absorbed sophomore in high school I was never one to put anytime or focus when it came time
