Personal Narrative-Morphing Horror Film
Do people who've gone insane recognize the changes they've gone through that got them where they are? What I mean to say is do they know they are going crazy? Are they helpless to the events happening to their minds? Or are they oblivious to the events, making their life an ever-morphing horror movie? Both sound very intriguing, I don't think I could choose one way or another. I think the journey alone is an adventure worth experiencing. Which brings me to the paradoxical question am I sane? Conventionally no, but I understand this. This is why I will choose and not allow time or fate to make a choice for me.
I have an overwhelming amount of hate growing inside me, though I am not sure whom the hate is meant for. I hate me, for allowing myself

When I made it to the street, a man sprinting towards me like a rabid dog startled me. Swallowing my fear deep into the pit of my stomach, I raised my Colt .45 caliber 1911 and fired at the man. The loud noise of the shot made me jump, so much so I almost dropped my pistol. So shaken up by the power of the pistol itself, I almost forgot to look at the damage done to the attacking citizen. The round had hit the man in his left elbow severing it from the joint, the rest of his forearm now hanging on by a small piece of flesh. In the 3 seconds it would have taken the man to reach me by this point, I had a full conversation with myself. How did the round not stop the man immediately? The shock from something like that would surly incapacitates anyone. I fired again hitting the man in his chest. The force from the round knocks the man of his feet, yet the man was not dead. As my tunnel vision dissipates I can clearly see my surrounding, the fog of hatred made my senses dull. The man was disfigured; it looked as if he was mauled on the neck and face. I shot him a third time, this time in the head. He ceased to move any

    There are some very traumatizing pictures on here. First I want you too open up your internet browser and get on google or your favorite search engine and type in “photographs by Eddie Adams” and search it. Now you’re seeing exactly what I am. The one picture that is sticking out to me is the first one on my page which is a guy holding a pistol to a civilians head. Now you may think nothing of this but let me tell you a very interesting fact about this picture. The guy holding the pistol has just pulled the trigger the civilian has a bullet in his brain at this very second. A second before or after this picture nothing would be the same. This picture is insane, the guy that was just shot in the head was just an innocent civilian that was shot just because the guy with the pistol could. The consequences of war. Innocent people were killed for no reason. War can obviously do so many things to people, just imagine that he was your husband and was just shot walking down the street. Not only is the dead guy affected but his whole family. They probably just witnessed there father, husband, friend get killed. The traumatic effect that would have on you and your family would be so great you wouldn’t even know what to do. Questions and thoughts would start running through your head like, Am I next? Maybe there was a reason he was killed that we don’t know about. You could go insane from things like this and suffer from major depression. There is another picture that catches my eye, there is a little girl and a couple other little kids behind her running naked down the road. Why are they running naked you may ask. They are running naked because they had just been hit with napalm. They are severely burned. There skin is peeling right off there body. You can’t see all those details in the picture but thats whats happening to them. They are little kids in the age group from probably 4-7. What did those little kids…

    I then hung the gun to my side and unlocked my door and opened it carefully, then the man outside my door kicked it in. the door hit me and knocked me off balance a little. I saw him pull out his hand gun it happened to be a Colt .45 model 1911 so I sprinted towards him and grabbed his hand and pointed the gun away from me. As we were struggling for supremacy over the gun he let off a round that whizzed by my head. At that moment my adrenaline kicked in at full potential and I slammed his hand against the door way viciously and repetitively until I broke the trim off around the door facing and he dropped the gun so then I kicked it away. I then brought my twelve gage into firing position and squeezed the trigger rapidly until I was completely out of ammunition.…

    I pulled my beanie securely on my head as I crouched down on a sturdy tree branch. My hunting knife reflected the dim light of the moon. It glinted letting my prey know I was there. "Yeah, I love a good chase!" I jumped from branch to branch as I chase my target. His brown hair was starting to gray but he ran pretty good for someone in their late forties. At least that's what boss lady said. I jumped down quietly as the man began to get tired. He began huffing as his pace slowed. I knocked into his back sending him into a tree. His chest heavily moved with his ragged breaths. I slowly approached him as I pulled my hunting knife back out. "Let play," I said in a deadpan tone. My eyes lost their light as I stared down at him.…

    S: This essay is in the form of a New York Times article from March 27, 1964 where an assailant, Winston Moseley; 29, stabbed Catherine “Kitty” Genovese, 28, three times within a thirty-five minute period early one morning. The brutal murder was seen by at least thirty-eight people in a heavily populated neighborhood, yet none of these witnesses called the police until Ms. Genovese had already died around 3:50am. When asked why they didn’t call the police earlier, none of the witnesses could come up with a definitive answer. The most frequent response was; “I didn’t want to get involved.” This case confused police due to the high level of apathy to violence, an attitude that has become more prevalent in American culture as time has passed.…

    So the Bradley rolled back, and we rolled back. And I had to shoot the position-caller before I could shoot the actual shooter. He didn't have a gun, but I knew what he was doing. He was the one calling out what's going on. He was on the phone. So I sent a shot up 20 feet above him and below him and to the side of him. And he just stood there. On his phone, talking the whole time. Innocent people ran. The bad guys stay and fight. If they're not running, they're going to be calling. That's the way I see it. So I shot him and he freaked out and stood still but I was so sorry. I cannot take that type of chance again. I had to start making these moral decisions. Better to be judged by 12 than carried by six. After that happened I thought, well, now I'm damned. I've done the worst thing possible and there's not much more worse you can do than shoot an unarmed person. It's not just that man, now I gotta deal with this and remember this forever. It's like, man, I hope nobody saw that, because I'll go to jail, too. You kind’ve feel so horrible and You kind of die inside. There's really nothing beneath me now. I'm at the bottom of the barrel. So basically you're worried about salvation and people finding out these dirty little secrets.Imagine living in this…

    “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite,” said Nelson Mandela. What he meant when he said this was, people don’t automatically hate other people. They are taught to hate through the influence of other people or their own experiences. Even though they may hate somebody though, it’s easy to learn to love them too. Throughout this semester we have gone through many units. In each of these units there are many common themes, one of these themes is hatred. It shows up time and time again. This hatred often leads to unnecessary deaths…

    Imagine sitting at home one day, relaxing with your loved ones, watching your favorite TV show, all of a sudden you hear gun-shots, not intended towards you or any of your family members; a bullet accidentally pierces through the door and kills someone that had no part in that violent attack. They were as innocent as the many that have been victims of gun violence in The United States of America. The spread of handguns, and assault riffles in the country is growing every year, “More than 8.57 million guns were produced in 2012, up 31 percent from 6.54 million in 2011”(1), according to data released by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and…

    In the United States of America, one of the biggest controversial topics is gun control and how much control is too much control. The fact of the matter is that as a nation the U.S. has the highest death by gun rate among many industrial countries.

    Wobbling on weakened legs, I fanned off another mad rush of the dog. I raced for the nearest tree but I was too slow. The dog overtook me, snapping at my heels. In desperation, I leapt into a spindly, dead pine and scrambled upwards. Unfortunately, the tree kept bending until my feet dangled less than six foots from the ground. The dog jumped and bit deep into my right leg near the knee. I gasped as blood spouted from the wound. Only then did I fully comprehend: This thing really mean to destroy me. The realization filled me with a toweling rage and fired my body with an adrenaline. I dropped to the ground and began growling and bellowing like the dog itself, kicked and flailed at it. “If you are going to kill me,” I screamed, “I am going to die fighting!”…

    I Had No Choice

    I had no choice it was either him or the damnation of my people. My hands were quivering with fear, sweat was dripping from my forehead as I made the decision to kill him. The man that sat in my barber shop chair had killed 14 of my friends and had death on his mind, the devil was at work in this man. Tension was rising, I walked across the empty room sharpening the blade of my silver razor, I continued to shave his beard as any good barber would have, each stroke smother than the other, as I whispered into his ear “Forget your regrets, your life has reached its end.” In a swift movement the deed was done. The warm liquid trickled down my wrist alerting me of the seriousness of my action. Quick! the blood will stain my leather chairs, time is of the essence to discard this decaying body! I lifted the body but had no place to put it, I hid it in the attic without a second guess . Thoughts were racing through my mind at speeds that couldn't be measured, in no time the blood started to drip from the forever old "Torres's barber shop" ceiling. I was a murderer. Could I live with myself ? the front door of my shop swung open. I realised someone was talking to me but I couldn't understand what he was saying, for my own screams drowned out the words from the man standing at my front…
