Recommended: Police brutality and its effect on societies

As we all gathered and celebrated, everyone enjoyed themselves and adored each other. Laughing filled the household and everyone wore red jumpers to bring positive cheer, we was ready for the new year. Drinking red wine and eating ravish red gammon, the night couldn't of been any better. Whilst watching the countdown for the new year, we was just moments away from starting a natious new year but they came.
Men in elusive black uniforms that broke in and rampaged through our house, arresting each and every one of us. I tried to run but there was too many of them, they came from everywhere like rats in a sewer, disturbing everthing they came in to contact with.
They pinned me to the wall like I was a wanted criminal, but none of them spoke a word. Like silent hunters, they lacked emotion and human traits, they're souless monsters that only cared about the law. The law which had now been passed due to the amount of crime and scum that had filled our streets with blood, is all their fault, but in they eyes of the government, its all of us. Those who potentially will become corrupt thugs and cause nothing but devostation and suffering through cruel ways.
As they struck their authority where they stepped, their dark glowing red eyes stared at us. Rounding us up into a group and pushing us to our knees, they surrounded us. As one stepped forward, I flinched out of fright and it was the worst thing I could of ever done in my life. All their eyes lit up and beamed down on me. Somehow breaking free from my shackles, I barged through them and ran, but they got me within seconds. I thought it was the end for me. Dragging me back to the group and placing tighter shackles on me, one of them disgusted and outraged announced in a sinister voice, ...

... middle of paper ...

...o the freezing desert, my eyes began to drown in tears as I saw friends bloodied and beaten in the hall way, then being dragged outside, everyone down both sides of the street was either being loaded into vans or being wrestled to the floor by brute demonic soldiers. All of us being too drunk to be able to fight back, we were herded like sheep, herded to our death sentences.
I then stumbled to the floor. With dirt smudging across my face, an empty wine bottle sat abandoned before me. Staring into it's reflection, flashbacks flowed into my mind and all the times I spent with my friends on nights out, even the bad ones, I wouldn't miss for the world and wouldn't change it one bit. I just regret that I never had the chance to do it more, all those opportunities that I wasted away doing stupid things, I passed up on but if I could do it over again, it would be different.

    The religious procession, with their full regalia and stoic expressions, belied the emotions that were surely heavy laden. Their slow, methodical pilgrimage hinted that they were beginning what would ultimately be a funeral procession. The brave young men, escorted by their elder counterparts, were led to slaughter much like sacrificial lambs. The fact that they were escorted sends the message that they were truly doomed, much like prisoners being led to their executions. Finally, the awful silence radiated throughout the land.

    My feet ache. My ears ring and my hands sting from the cool steel handle of my sidearm I ripped off the body of a collector. I don’t know why they’re coming after me--I had paid my rent in full a whole day before the cut off date--and yet here they stand, poised outside my door with automatic rifles screaming “Heretic! Death to the false Prophet!” I didn’t have a clue to what they meant. Maybe they were referring to the shrine I had created in the attic of my townhouse dedicated to Silvus, the deity of lightning. Probably not, though. Maybe they mixed up my house with the Joi dealer next door.

    It was a warm spring day. I turned down the radio as I drove across the bridge at Hoover dam, water and cement connected the state line separating Arizona from Nevada. Crossing the dam then past the tourist information center reached two huge stone angel monuments with arms and wings stretched toward the sky. The sight of them invoked religious desperation from me as if a I was lacking from divine intervention. Parked on either side of the two towering angels sat two highway patrol cars. One on each side of the statues like vultures ordered by the sherif of Nottingham to victimize taxpayers. I felt desperate and uneasy as I stared into the troopers eyes as I passed by and they stared back. I am not paranoid but that doesn't mean they are not after me. Everyone is a suspect and victim for harassment and possible revenue. My sense of privacy dissolved with the irreverent mix. Psychically connected and hoping to break the troopers attention, I turned up Black Sabbath on the radio and sang along.

    As I inched my way toward the cliff, my legs were shaking uncontrollably. I could feel the coldness of the rock beneath my feet when my toes curled around the edge in one last futile attempt at survival. My heart was racing like a trapped bird, desperate to escape. Gazing down the sheer drop, I nearly fainted; my entire life flashed before my eyes. I could hear stones breaking free and fiercely tumbling down the hillside, plummeting into the dark abyss of the forbidding black water. The trees began to rapidly close in around me in a suffocating clench, and the piercing screams from my friends did little to ease the pain. The cool breeze felt like needles upon my bare skin, leaving a trail of goose bumps. The threatening mountains surrounding me seemed to grow more sinister with each passing moment, I felt myself fighting for air. The hot summer sun began to blacken while misty clouds loomed overhead. Trembling with anxiety, I shut my eyes, murmuring one last pathetic prayer. I gathered my last breath, hoping it would last a lifetime, took a step back and plun...

    The night was tempestuous and my emotions were subtle, like the flame upon a torch. They blew out at the same time that my sense of tranquility dispersed, as if the winds had simply come and gone. The shrill scream of a young girl ricocheted off the walls and for a few brief seconds, it was the only sound that I could hear. It was then that the waves of turmoil commenced to crash upon me. It seemed as though every last one of my senses were succumbed to disperse from my reach completely. As everything blurred, I could just barely make out the slam of a door from somewhere alongside me and soon, the only thing that was left in its place was an ominous silence.

  • My Experience: One Of The Lowest Point In My Life

    1077 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the haze of the morning I remember reflecting on the adventure-filled summer I had experienced: I traveled to the Upper Peninsula to hike Pictured Rocks, tubed down the Rifle River, spent weekends in Caseville at my grandparents, and hunted boar in Tennessee. There was so much more I had done so it was challenging to remember, plus every weekend I found myself going out to embark on new adventures. Being sober for three years, every year kept on getting better and every year seemed to fill up with more positive activities. I was already planning to attend my first Red Wings game with my brother; we decided to see the opening game against the Sharks. The next thing I prepared to cross off of my bucket list was snowboarding as it had been my dream since I was a kid. My mind trotted further into the past when I used drugs and I missed those times because I did not have a care in the world. The thoughts of all of the responsibilities I held upon my shoulders lead me to be tempted to go back to how my life used to be years ago. I shook my head and reminded myself that my past life was more depressing than it had been fun and this was the time to continue to tackle my
