The Last Chance “The tragedy of life is not death but what we let die inside of us while we live”-Norman Cousins Lying motionless on the bed, looking at the ceiling without any feelings, my heart starts beating ten times faster than usual. Chandelier oscillates, the train passes by the station and the ground starts shivering, looks like aghast and frightened. I’m trying to observe how colors are playing with the curtain but one more minute and everything will evanesce. I will be in the bottom of infinity but this last minute is stretching like a grotesque ghost of our past. Everything is whirling so fast that I do not know if they are tangible or just a part of my unlimited imagination. Old radio …show more content…
I was always an introvert person and had small circle of friends, which was consisting only by two humans, me and my friend, Guka. When I was a child, I was thinking that our parents made some kind of agreement, which enabled them to separate us but we were born together and we were brothers. Guka was an impatient person and weird one because of his manner of speaking. He will always stay like an Enigma for me. Despite the prohibition, we still went to the sea. It was suffocating heat outside. When we finally got to the destination, my excitement reached its peak. I heard the voices of waves and I got goose bumps because of the joy and happiness. We went to the place, where the Black Sea meets the river Rioni (delta) . We were swimming, I was making fun of him, cause he did not know swimming well but he tried his best. firstly, he was mad at me because of my jokes but then I stopped, when I felt uncomfortable laughing alone. I went out from the water and laid down on the beach. I was looking at him and smiling without any reason. Suddenly a big wave dragged him and I lost him from the horizon. Someone opened the
Mortality, the subject of death, has been a curious topic to scholars, writers, and the common man. Each with their own opinion and beliefs. My personal belief is that one should accept mortality for what it is and not go against it.
On October 9, 1968, a set of twins were born, but separated at birth and ultimately, put up for adoption. The decision to separate the twins came from the adoption agency who wanted to conduct a nature versus nurture experiment; however, the experiment was conducted in secret. However, for unknown reasons, the experiment never developed to fruition. Unaware the child they adopted was a twin; both sets of parents raised a singular child. Thirty-five years later, one twin began a search for her biological mother through the adoption agency, only to find out that she was born a twin. Upon learning her identity, she reached out to her twin and they began the journey of getting to know one another by comparing characteristics that appeared similar such as temperament and mannerism. They even discovered that they both held positions as a film critic and enjoyed almost identical movies.

As my family and I sped along the coast, the sour smell of sulfur vents and sea salt pungently gusted through my nostrils. My clothes were damp from the constant spray of seawater. My sense of balance was overcome by the sequential hop from wave to wave and – combined with the
boat and we were off... But something was wrong, after a long trip the boat stopped and
What would it be like to have a twin? This is a question people often ponder. People often say that they see someone that resembles someone they already know. It is almost like dejavu. “Twin” comes from the German word “twine” meaning “two together” (Nagy 1). Most people automatically think of two people who look just alike when they hear the word “twin”. However, there is a lot more to twins than just looking alike. Twins are the most common type of multiple births. Many think there are only two types of twins, identical and fraternal; they often leave out conjoined twins. Twins are very unique and fascinating individuals because of their similarities biologically, physically, and psychologically.
One balmy summer morning my friends convinced me to come swim in Grapevine Lake, which would be very enticing if I was a strong swimmer or had any swimming experience whatsoever. However, I’m not going to ruin a good, scorching summer day staying home wasting my time playing video
It was finally time to swim. I finally came up with a plan and decided to swim in the deep side of the pool even though I didn’t know how to swim. I knew it would work but I was also scared. As I walked to the swimming pool, everyone laughed at me again for wearing a speedo. I dived into the deep side of the pool and noticed everyone was staring at me in amazement. Then I swam up and hung onto the side of the pool. Everyone was shocked and puzzled. Even the girl I liked looked surprised.
February 13th, 1979, Janae and I were born in Sunrise Hospital, four minutes apart, to two anxious, ecstatic, and not to mention exhausted parents. Immediately following the birth, the doctor glanced up at my mother and father and announced that they were the proud parents of identical twin girls. My sister Janae was born first weighing a mere four pounds 11 ounces and I swiftly followed, weighing a hefty seven pounds zero ounces (very large for the average twin). The doctor proceeded to tell my mother that identical twins automatically have a special bond that exists between them, and that she was to enjoy the many fun, challenging, yet exciting experiences to come. One of the most challenging experiences to come would be the dreadful day when the two of us would realize that we couldn't be together always. That memorable day we slept together, side by side, in our rectangular clear plastic hospital beds -- determined to be inseparable for the remainder of our lives.
Eventually, we arrived at the race course. Stepping off of the bus, the exhilaration was uplifting as we looked across the sunrise ...
Imagine having a sibling, waking up with you every morning to find your sibling didn’t go anywhere, but was by your side. Imagine having to do the same things, for instance, riding on the same bike or sitting in the same chair. How do you think life would be like? Would you be able to have any freedom? Do you sometimes feel like you want to disconnect from your sibling? Well, such people are called “conjoined twins”. Conjoined twins share arms, legs, organs, and other body parts. However, they don’t just share these body parts. Instead, they share and take intimacy to the extreme. Back then, they were called gods and feared as monsters. People were afraid they might kill or abandon their kids”. Conjoined twins are formed in the last stage of mitosis, which is called Cytokinesis. Many cases have been documented about conjoined twins. One example is a case of two conjoined twin sisters’ named Mary and Eliza Chulkhurst. The world’s most known twins are called the Thoracagopagus twins. In order to
As a young child I was a non social person, and did not like to participate in anything. I liked to be an individual person, and do things on my own. I was shy and not outgoing like all my other friends were. When I enter a situation for the first time, I have a hard time speaking up until I feel comfortable. As being as shy as I was, my school work was affected a lot because I would not raise my hand to ask questions if I did not understand something, or go to the teacher for help. It was hard to transition from that stage to being more outgoing and talk more with my peers. It was difficult to communicate with others becuase of this as well, i was not able to be the perosn that i really am.
But we did go on the boardwalk almost every night. Every night seemed to be different. We tried to experience everything in a different way. Coastal Highway, not unlike the ocean, seems to go on endlessly. When we were near Coastal Highway, I put my window down and let the smell of the sand and sea waft into the car. The rain had started, but it was only a light mist. The temperature had cooled off now too. I decided to take an evening swim. Some of the waves were raising nearly 10 feet. In the evening when we all entered the beach some lifeguards were announcing that tides are so strong. Though I was not
