Both Sam and I jumped when we heard a strange cough. We looked at Dusty, who raised a hand to his mouth, continuing to cough. I watched in fear and horror as his face paled, and his eyes got red. I could see the blood vessels in his eyes breaking... Read More
I felt like I was walking from a very deep sleep when I opened my eyes again. I was curled on my side with one arm hand cuffed to the gurney. My body felt numb all over. I wondered how long I was asleep. When my eyes focused, I looked... Read More
We all watched in confusion as Michael soon slumped to the floor, groaning. Our door opened, and all of our heads whipped around to look at the gun wielding doctors march into our room. They brought with them several gurneys.
"Excellent," One doctor said. He was very tall, and of a... Read More
I ran a hand over the feathers, which seemed to be wrapped in a very thin skin that was similar to the face mask you have to peel off. I sighed heavily, shaking my head, unsure how to deal with this. I wanted to cry; I had those shaky breaths... Read More
We all stepped back away from the girl, shrinking against the wall. She didn't move. We all looked at each other, our eyes wide. I took a deep breath, pushing myself away from the way and approaching the young girl. She didn't move an inch as I walked towards her.... Read More
I was shoved back into the room, one of those rediculous braces on my nose with a little bit of blood still dribbling out. I kept my head tipped forward. That's what I learned in health class; they always tell you to keep your head back but if you do... Read More
We were pushed into large fenced areas, similar to that of a tennis court. Each of us had our own area. Several doctors gathered around the fences, peering in at us, making remarks to each other.
I took my eyes off the doctors who loomed like vultures outside to watch as... Read More
"Keep going." We were told. All three of us were being led down the brightly lit hallway. The too clean smell of antiseptics didn't hurt my nose as much as it did before when I was so used to smelling vomit, urine, and other disgusting things. My knees still felt like... Read More
When I awoke from my drugged slumber I was on a gurney, but the weirdest gurney ever. It was like a massage table, where you lie on your belly and there's that whole in the bed where you stick your head. I was expecting to start whimpering and soon screaming... Read More
I awoke screaming. The pressure and pain on my back was the most horrendous thing in the world. It felt like I was going to die. No, I wanted to die just to escape the pain. Gripping the cage I was writhing in pain, feeling the lumps in my back... Read More
Back in my cage and back in the room, but much cleaner than before. I was located directly next to Dusty, and my brother was across from me. All of us were awake.
"Are you okay?" Michael asked, staring at me.
My head was a bit fuzzy, and my back and shoulders... Read More
My eyelids felt like paperweights as I awoke again. My cage had been moved! I was further back now, and I couldn't see my brother anymore, which panicked me severely.
"Michael!" I whispered loudly.
"I'm here." He whispered back, hidden in the mess of cages in the room. I breathed a short... Read More
I woke up what must have been days later. To my horror and utter embarassment, the bottom of my cage stunk with the smell of my own waste. Tears slipped out of my eyes, making little pat pat sounds against the plastic. I shook myself against the cage once more, trying... Read More
Numb in my legs, panic in my heart, migraine in my head. So this is what it's like to die. I felt contemplative. This wasn't what I had anticipated. I expected the tunnel of light, to see all my deceased relatives and friends smiling me and welcoming me to the... Read More
I was laughing mildly as my brother sang along loudly with the radio. The sun was hot against my skin, even as the rays of light traveled through the tinted window. Trees whirled past the car as we drove down the freeway. I rested my head against my hand which... Read More
