Vignette

One Moment in Time


I smiled as I glided over the water; I looked up at the sun as it bathed my body with rays of light. Suddenly I felt my board slide from under me, and my smile faded from my face and I felt a searing pain shoot through my body starting from my left side until it reached my right shoulder muscle. I blacked out.

I awoke to a rumbling of metal against metal. I realized I was in my mom’s car, and by the direction of the road we were taking I guessed we were headed to Scripps hospital. I wondered why might she be driving to Scripps? Then reality hit me like a bull made of led! I had somehow injured myself during surfing badly enough to be sent to the hospital. I blacked out again.

My vision blurred as I gained a perception on what was around me and I noticed I was in a bed in a hospital. I glanced out the door at the people passing by outside that I’ve never seen before, why was I here? I thought. I noticed a figure standing across the room from me, with a grin on his face; hmm I wonder what he could want? But I didn’t have time to give myself an answer before I drifted into blackness again. As I regained consciousness I heard someone whispering my name, “Mitch, Mitch?” I realized who it was, it was my mom and my aunt and my cozen. I saw that my brother wasn’t there, I wondered why? But now was not the time to care I had others who wanted to be with me in my time of need.

Soon after I got settled I kept track of how long I had been in the hospital and what my schedule was. First my doctor would come in and see if my blood transfusion was in my arm properly, then every night at around one AM people would come to me and draw my blood from my right arm like vampires. I would black out, and wake up to the sound of my dad or my mom coming in and resting on the bead next to me, and I would try to get up but they would tell me to stay lying down until the doctors said it was ok for me to walk. This cycle repeated until I was ready to go home for the first time in weeks.

This was a time covered with pain and it is full of questionable topics and sadness. But if there’s one thing I remember from that week is that from that point on I had to eat healthier than I had recently.

Metal, Roar, Shrieks and Mumurs

It begins as a loud scratching noise, like a broken record set on repeat until it's batteries die. then a crash interrupts the scratching fingers with abrupt rudeness. As if a great beast is ripping its kill apart, while someone who appeases violence watches. Then the reverberating sound of the pitter patter of a high pitched sound comes into view along with a brushing sound much like that of human begging for water but his mouth is to dry to talk. after you settle into the constant hushing voices, you are struck my a helicopter taking flight right outside you bedroom window. You try and sleep but the "slam, slam" of someone closing the doors to your cell wakes you and stimulates your nerves. a wave a sound hit you as you imagine your in a graveyard at night and graves are shaking
and the gates of the tomb where wealthy people stay are opening and closing, for no reason but to scare you. Something hits your eardrum, its the faint sound of what seems like a bird, it calls to its master but the master can not be found. grief and sadness overwhelm you as hear the beat of ghostly construction workers, working on a time consuming job that can never be finished. the yell of a gargantuan hits your ear as you fade into oblivion. blackness overwhelms you and fall into nothingness.

SLOB Scene addon


I figured it was noon, from where the sun was in the sky. right now was about one day since I ran away from T-ray, so i guessed it was Saturday. By now T-ray had stopped looking for me, so I figured Rosaleen and me could "hitch-hike" to Tiburon. Hitch hiking was a lot harder than I thought it would be, everyone that drove by us was either in to much of a hurry to bother with a black women and a fourteen year old white child, or they didn't care.

After a whole hour Rosaleen and me gave up on hitch hiking and started walking down on the moist grass down the way from the road. its was starting to get late so we layed down and drifted off into blackness of the dream. I awoke to the sound of a man singing a song I've never heard before so I figured it was Catholic or some form of religious speech. he spotted me huddled in the grass, and he stopped and said, " hay there little lady! don't you know how late it is?, your family is going to be very worried about you, you should probably be getting back to them." I rolled my eyes as i thought to myself about how wrong he was.

I couldn't get to sleep after what the man said about my family be worried about me, so I told Rosaleen I was going to walk back to the road to see if anyone driving by would notice me.
I stood there in the crisp blue twilight air for what seemed about another hour, but as i was giving up on hitch hiking a colored man driving a beat-up Chevy truck took pity on me and he slowed down and asked "where you heading."

Favorite fictional hero(sorta)


I dont really have a favorite hero person, but i had to choose one so..... I chose Spider man.
Well i chose spiderman because he is cool and has spider-like powers. For those who dont know spiderman,(but im sure you all do), he got his powers by being bitten by a geneticly altered spider. At first he couldn't shoot webs but he made a device thats goes on his arm to make sure he could.

My favorite Spiderman movie is number 3 where spiderman is possesed by an evil side or himself, but he keeps it with him for a while because it makes him stronger. But it was an evil side of him so he had to get rid of it. ya and well that's pretty much all i know about spiderman
besides who is enemies are, Doc Oc and the green goblin and his evil side and i dont know anybody else.I guess thats it.
