Fortnite on the PC is fun. “Building and shooting is easy.” I thought. Then, everything shuts off. My computer and lights flicker out. “The power must be out.” I say.

So the thing I would be doing is yelling because there was no one in my house. I panicked and ran around my house. I reached for my phone so I could call my my Mom but there no no service since the power cut off. Moments later, I get an unknown call.

When I got this unknown call, I answered it. When I answered there was little kids playing in the background and all of the sudden there is someone with a deep voice saying “Im going to kill you.” The phone shuts off  and then the lights start to flicker and my toys start making weird noises. I was really scared.

I didn’t know what to do besides panic. Then my front door opened. Something came in but I didn’t know what it was. Out of nowhere, I felt a hand on my neck *Crack!*

Gun Essay

There has recently been talks about whether or not teachers should be armed with guns inside classrooms. On February 14, 2018, there was a shooting that occured in Florida. There were at least 17 dead. Another shooting occurred on May 18, 2018 in Texas. About 10 deaths. This situation had many wonder whether people should have the rights to own guns. Overall, teachers should not be able to handle a gun in the classroom to make students feel safer.

As a matter of fact, I believe that teachers should not be armed when inside the classrooms. Students may find a way in occupying the weapon. Many things may go wrong when the teacher is not looking or is outside of the classroom.

Additionally, some teachers may have some issues. Including, anger issues, bipolar disorder, and more. There can be some cases where the teacher can pull out the gun when being talked back to or when mad.

Moreover, the weapon can be a threat whenever something goes wrong. I don’t believe the weapon can help students feel comfortable and safe.

Firstly, teachers already have so much power. Giving them a weapon, they can do whatever they want with their students. Teachers are the leader of the class. Everyone says to listen to teachers, always. Teachers can use that against their students.

Secondly, teachers should radically be trained to handle a gun and know what to do. Instead of emptily being handed one with no experience.

Overall, in my opinion, I disagree that teachers should be able to handle a gun in the classroom to make students feel safer.

Frankenstein Paper

Frankenstein Paper

Have you ever heard about, if you see your doppelganger, and make eye contact, one of you have to die? Well, I think I just saw mine. But, obviously, we didn’t make eye contact. I’ve always wondered if there was another dimension. And after this, I knew it was true.

I was scared so I tired to avoid making eye contact. Right when I turned to give a last glance at her, she was already staring at me. We both made eye contact and looked at each other for a while. We started screaming so we ran opposite ways. As days passed I kept experiencing weird things. For example, I started having sleep paralysis every night. I think I almost experienced a time where I almost died.

After a week I ran back into her. But this time we both were not freaked out. We knew there can only be one Ashley, so we fought. The math went on for hours.

Then when I finally got her to the ground, she gave the most eerie smile, “This was a test, and you failed.” I opened my eyes.

I was in a mental hospital.

Antithesis

 

• The villain lives by his wits, not by his labor.

 

1. Poets writes not from their mind, but from their hearts.
2. It’s not what you said, it’s how you said it.
3. I didn’t leave with hope, I left with hatred.
4. Speech is silver, but silence is gold.
5. I choose you for love, not for lust.

It’s your eyes that kill me

Your eyes that rip me to shreds telling me I’ll never be enough

One glance and I crumble into a million pieces

begging for your forgiveness

That look I get when I stare at you for too long feels like I’m tied up

and I’m searching through your eyes for any signs of forgiveness

but not finding any

 

It’s your mouth

Your mouth that could talk up a storm

but that’s not fair because every sound feels almost as if I’m a bubble

floating through the air waiting to explode

Your mouth is a knife

Every word is a stab

Every question is a wound

Every sentence is slice, cutting me open, prepping me for torture

 

Now everyone knows that you’ve been killing me softly

You’re not just sticking the knife in, you’re twisting it… savoring the moment

opening up a hole even time won’t be able to fix

Actually, it’s not your eyes, your mouth or you hands

It’s you

You are the reason I cry myself to sleep

You are the reason I feel empty

You are the reason I feel my blood drip to the bathroom floor

Your existence is the reason I got depression

Depression is a bottomless pit

Never ending pain

Never ending struggles

There is no light

There is no escape

I’m falling off a cliff and I know you’re the one who pushed me

but I’ll promise you this

I’m not going to ever let you mind control me

I’m not going to ever feel weak again because I’ve changed

I didn’t change for you, my friends, my family

I’ve changed for myself

I’m going to climb right back up that cliff

Stronger than ever
