Bad Catch Monologue
Bad Catch
By dominic clifford

I guess the day I died it was a sunny day, a day of joking around. We had been digging holes, walking and keeping guard: practically the daily routine. We had been just been mucking around before it happened as perusal. Rat Kiley and I had invented a macho game to play. We toss smoke grenades back and forth, like hot potato but with higher stakes.
Today the game goes wrong and a grenade explodes, thus killing me; his death, I guess this was an accident. Just few seconds ago i had been standing under a tree in the shade, and stepped out into the sunlight to catch the grenade. For a split second I thought I was killed by the sunlight, or was Tims O’Briens fault but It wasn’t. Seconds after the explosion I

All I can or want think about is my family, the girls or my my friends and sadly the horrifying pain which I know won't last for long. I guess it's weird how time slows down, we your about to do but decide to use it wisely cause I don’t have much left, Its all most like if time is frozen around me. I remember a memory when I had it all, but I guess you don’t appreciate something until gone. It was one cloudy afternoon, it feels like centuries ago… I was being clasic me, being a prick and being funny, Ive changed so much, it's like we are two different people that wouldn’t get on with each other if they met. But anyway me and my family went to a park where my brothers and sisters played as kids. We would play cowboys and Indians or Tag, i would do anything to turn time back, due to the fact I was happy and my limbs were still intact . But anyway, we were having having a BBQ on independence day with friends and family. I was 16 at the time and I had a crush on Bella parker. We had spent the entire day together, we had been firstling and teasing each other. I remember my brother kept teasing me about her, but it didn’t matter because i didn’t care what he or anyone thought because she was the only thing

    At a spaceport somewhere within decent range of civilization, yet considerably remote for some people, a man was hurrying towards its center. A large space adjoining the cafeteria and boarding zones, it took the man a good minute to spot the people he was looking for. He approached at a brisk walk, offered handshakes, and introduced himself as Guy Leonard. " Well Mr. Leonard, I must say I'm impressed that you went to the trouble of meeting us in person here," said one of the men sitting in front of him.…

    I entered into the new house, it was so empty. I could feel the weight in the air. The cold, frightening new air. I walked over to what is now my parents room, I rolled the sleeping bag onto the carpet, and slept on the floor. Something felt strange, I was sleeping on carpet. Never before had I fallen asleep on carpet. Always on hardwood floor. I recall falling asleep in sorrow, trying to grasp a little bit of hope out of myself. I tried to see the best in the situation, but all I could think about was the people I just left, all I could think about was the past. I couldn’t bring myself to the present. My mind and heart still in Ecuador, my cold body here. This was probably one of the worst moments of my life. I don’t think I have ever cried so much. I don’t think that I’ve ever felt so isolated. I didn’t know who I was. Everything that made me had the reset button pushed on it. All of my pride and courage felt lost. I felt so weak. I needed to become someone new.…

    I feel the muscles of my chin tremble like a small child and I look towards her, hoping for soothing words I don’t deserve. There is static in my head once more, the side effect of this constant fear, constant stress I live with. I hear my own sounds, like a distressed child, raw from the inside. It takes something out of me I didn't know I had left to give.…

    Today is one of those rare days in which it is raining and I’m sitting on the windowsill waiting for a sign. Something that says ‘move on’. There is still a part of me that hopes every day that you're alive and I haven't found you yet. I will have searched the far corners of the earth before I let myself believe you dead. I dream of you every night, then wake with the bitter taste of regret fresh in my mouth. You abandoned me. You have marooned me on this earth, and it is dark without your light by my side. All that fills my mind is when you were still beside me. I distinctly recall one summer when we were not quite children anymore and still too young to be adults. It was raining so hard that the streets were flooded for the first time in eighty years, and you had insisted on escaping to the desert.…

    In first grade, it was my first year in public school so I didn’t have as much friends as the the people that were in kindergarten last year. When I walked into the room, both of my parents on each of my side they introduced to my teacher then I sat in the empty seat. The person assigned to sit next was a girl named Chloe. At first sight, I mesmerized by the amount of silly bands she had. At that moment I knew I had to be her friend.…

    Every single one of my baby pictures include her. I’m not sure if it’s just because she’s my sister or because she’s been there for me since I could remember. Yes, her teenage hormones and my irritating adolescence was a problem before. Now, however, I can’t think of anyone else I’d eat pizza and scare pigeons with.…
