...life is my 11th birthday .I remember as its yesterday. It was a beautiful Saturday morning when I woke up due to a loudly noise. It was 8:00 am then I knew that it was October 12, my birthday. I took a long, cold shower to calm myself down and got dressed. I was too excited. I was still in bed when all of the sudden I started to hear noise at the outside of my room. I went down stairs to the kitchen. Just as I entered the kitchen I became aware of a delicious smell. My mom had prepared French toast which is my favorite breakfast. She was cutting tomatoes into cubic pieces. The cutting noise could hear by my room. It was now 11am. I was helping my mom prepare the chicken wings. A birthday party must be planned effectively to goal its success I had been looking forward to the party for at least two months. It cannot be a last minute planning. I will not be caught unprepared again. I‘ve been concentrated on the planning of the party for a month. Everyone had read the RSVP deadline and called in a week ahead of schedule. The weather was sunny so I didn’t have doubt about bad weather. I was keep tracking of forecast a week. It was to be my first party at our new house. There are only a few hours till my party starts. I set up the new stereo system. When the time drew near for me to be ready for the party, I put on my birthday dress which I was specially sewn for me. Suddenly I hear a knock on the front door. I opened the door for my...

...Fry-day It was weird for me to wake up. I have never woken up before. Something was off, and I knew it. I looked around and saw big, round, peach torsos which walked on two roots and had two more roots out of their middle body.They also had a smaller potato attached to the top of it and had really thin roots coming out from the top of it. That was my first time seeing those creatures, in fact that was my first time seeing anything. I didn’t know what was happening around me except that I was a mistake. At first I was normal, like everyone else. And that’s how I wanted to stay. I grew up in a garden, a wonderful luscious green environment with birds flying overhead and that sweet smell of flowers. well that's how I pictured it. I can’t...

...and finally understanding what terror truly is. Luckily, I woke up before I became a feast; although, I didn’t sleep for the rest of the night. The looming sensation of my dream death had me filled with a mix of emotions above all reason. I had found myself feeling quite similar when I had committed one of the biggest failures of my life so far. For me, experiencing failure early in high school felt like being eaten by racist cannibals, but it was somehow “necessary” for my development as a person. I had got in the way of my success because I wasn’t focused at all during 9th grade 1st semester, which had led to me doing poorly....

...Last school holiday, my family and I went back to our hometown, the eagerly-awaited holidays bring a respite from homework, lessons, extracurricular activities and exams. For me, spending a holiday at home is equally unbearable. 0n the last day of school, I eagerly waited for the bell to ring at 1:10 p.m.. Then, I felt like a caged bird hat has just been set free. I slang my bag over my shoulder and make a beeline for the bust station. My hometown! We started our journey early in the morning. When we arrived, we had a quick lunch. I make a short exchange and headed for my favourite spot here- a secluded corner of my grandfather durian orchards. There under a shady spot, I sat down a surveyed the surroundings. Here, far away from claustrophobic classrooms, rushing crowds, busy sidewalks and congested streets, I enjoyed the solitude of nature. As I took my seat on a flimsy woody bench, and looked around me, I can see a flurry of activities. Birds flew gracefully and noiselessly above me while bees traveled flirtatiously from tree to tree, colourful butterflies flit about here and there flapping their fragile wings and ants scurry in a single file carrying bits of food on their tiny backs. A soft cool breeze blowed. I can hear the soft rustle of leaves. The air is heavy with the scent of shrubs and grasses coupled with the scent of ripe durians. I lied on my back with my hand clasped behind my head and watched streaks of...

...was a time in life when I felt so low and defeated that all hope I might have had disappeared, I ended up feeling worthless and more like a failure especially when everyone around me seemed to have everything in their lives in order. Everywhere I turned, I felt like I was being mocked, like everyone was looking at me and saying just how much of a disappointment I was, and it got to me because I started loathing myself. I started feeling like I wasn’t enough, according to me everyone else was better than me in one way or the other. When standing in a group of people I would feel so inferior that at times I wished the ground would open up and swallow me live, hide me from the hell I was putting myself through and just make the pain go away thinking maybe if that were to happen, I wouldn’t feel so useless and unwanted in everything I did. It was at this point that I started building a wall around myself, created a shell that I crawled in just to hide when in front of the world. I remember walking into a class room or any gathering and going straight to the back of the room, anywhere where I wouldn’t be noticed easily, be invisible and wrap myself into my own little bubble where no one or anything could touch me or harm me in any way. I was honestly depressed because it was only me, I closed everyone else out because I thought I wasn’t good enough for them and that they were way too good for me for any sort of friendship to be formed between us. The truth is I didn’t like the way...

...Ballad of Lucy Jordan" into a short prose story. When you rewrite you should consider the meaning of the song in order to make the right priorities in your prose story. My story starts in a comfy bed, underneath the silky-soft covers. My name is Lucy Jordan. My life has never been easy. I am thirty-seven years old, and I am probably never going to ride through Paris in a sports car, and never going to feel the warm wind in my hair while sitting in that same sports car. I’m what you usually would call a housewife. And reconsidering this title, you could probably call me a desperate one too. I spend my day by doing several very exciting and challenging tasks. For example cleaning my big empty house, with no-one, except myself of course, too speak with. I also have an over dimensional gigantic garden. I can spend hours out there, planting flowers, remove weeds, or just let my eyes slide across my beautiful work, which I probably could have done a little better, but no-one never notices what I have done, so what is the point. Once, I actually ran naked through our own, normal human-empty, core-family street. What I did not know was that Mr. McJohnson had a day off, because of a cold. So of course he called the men in the cars with the blue and red light. They let me go, with a thousand dollars less in my pockets. The age thirty-seven is not as bad as everybody say it is. I actually like my age. I know for sure that I am never going to drive in a sports car as fancy...

...other Saturday, I was hanging out with my best friend, Lindsey. We had just left the Project Graduation car show, and were headed out Buckeye Road trying to get her home on time. We were playing loud music, laughing, swaying and talking about our boyfriend issues like normal. I hated to see the night end, so we sat in my car in her driveway hashing out our plans for next weekend. We hugged and she made me promise I would buckle up and be safe. Of course, I agreed to both, I put the car in reverse and backed out. As I was driving down twisting country roads thinking about our plans for next weekend, the thought of being in a car accident never crossed my mind. And then it happened. A bright red car came barreling at me head on. I panicked, and jerked my steering wheel. My car wheels dropped off the low shoulder. Suddenly, the car careened out of control, and everything went dark. I couldn’t see, but I could hear the screaming of brakes, smell of burning rubber, feel my body being jolted forward in a lifeless motion. I heard sounds of metal crunching, felt like I was soaring through the sky, and everything ended in a sudden hard stop and complete silence. The next thing I remember is someone cradling me, and talking to me and the sounds of sirens in the distance. I fade in and out of consciousness, but I can still feel the pain shooting through my body, and tears of fear flowing down my cheeks. I woke up with something obscuring my vision and hindering my breathing. I couldn’t remember...

...I am a shoe. Hello In the beginning, my life was cheerful. I would spend them with my best friend who shared a box with me. This was all I needed to survive. A warm, dark box. Beside that, I even had a friend to share it with. Home Sweet Home. All of a sudden, something captured my house and clawed off the roof. They kidnapped my best friend away from me. The next thing I knew, they took me too. Before they started to do something to my friend (or to me) I managed to get one last good look at him. Seconds later, I heard a spine-chilling thump. The sound alarmed me because back when things were normal, my best friend and I would talk to our neighbors about what would happen if one of us were dropped. Someone had a theory that it would make...

...I woke up in a place with bright lights. I had ripped clothes on and my limbs were wrapped in bandages, with splotches of red. I couldn't remember anything. "Ah, you've awakened," a voice said behind me. I quickly turned around and saw a nurse. "Where am I?" I asked. I noticed a green emblem on my right hand. It looked familiar, with a feeling of a rebellious hierarchy. I tried to remember, but the nurse cut off my thinking. "You are in one of Queen Riliane's hospital sanctuaries. You had a terrible accident. Do you remember anything?" "No, I don't remember anything," I noticed a necklace that I was wearing. I looked at it, and on the back, it said "Nemesis." I showed the nurse. "Does this sound familiar?" "Um," I then remembered something. "Nemesis is my name." I said to the nurse. "Oh!" she said. "Anything you remember?" "Nope....

...One day my family was going to Las Vegas, and we pulled up to a gas station to ask for directions. The man told us the way was through New Mexico where they tested the atomic bombs. We were driving, and then we heard a pop! We lost control and ran in to a big rock. I wondered what happened. I thought where are we were going to sleep at? My dad and I went to go ask for more directions, and we split up. He went to the gas station again, and I went in the mountains.

... An hour ago I never thought i would end in New York in bank under a table with fear because the guy who is robbing would do something to me. I was under the table hiding hopeful that someone will come and help me. I heard the guy talking to himself. I felt terrified that he will see me and do something to me so instead i crunched myself up more in the corner of the table I was at and slowly started crawling to the exit door. When I got to the door I lift my head up and the robber stood in front of me pointing at me. When I woke up in the morning I felt weird because I had my parents, brothers and my boyfriend surrounding me in my bed I was lost in confusement I didn’t know what was going on. Until i asked what was going on thats when everyone looked at me back and asked if i was okay I looked back at them again surprised and laughed because I thought they were trying to throw a prank or joke on me.

...being a dog? When I woke up this morning, I was in the street along with three dogs around me, there were pieces of glass smashed everywhere. When I saw myself in the shattered pieces of glass, I was mesmerized to see myself as a dog and how my life was being a dog. I couldn’t believe myself, but when I was walking on the street I saw traffic lights that were purple, green and white but, I knew that the traffic light should be green, red, and yellow. Then I had this sense of smell that smelled like blood, it was coming from the corner of the street. I followed the sense as I got closer to the blood it smelled more blood. As I got there I saw a person lying on the floor I was certain that the blood was coming from that person I scream for help, but I could hear myself barking not screaming. However, I saw lots of people walking on the sidewalk, I ran there and I ask people to come with me there is a dead person. But when I realized I was barking.

When I was looking through steel bars I saw two squid-like creatures, who were in control of the ship, suddenly I felt a shake in the plane. After an hour I was transported onto a conveyor belt and into a floating truck, soon after I was knocked out again but this time I woke up and now I was in my room but there was no door and then I realised that the dream I had was not a dream it was reality and I still had a bruise on my head from where the aliens hit me.I opened the curtains to my “bedroom” window and saw the same squid-like creatures I saw when the plane landed, but this time there...
