A Place in Time

Sometimes there are things that are meant to be accepted. But, life must go on and live life like everyday is the last. Hi everyone! I am Terence Kelvin Quintero. I’m seventeen years old and I have one younger sister named Teresa Jayne Quintero. Of course, I have my parents too, they are Jayne Quintero and Kevin Quintero. I have a Heart Congenital disease since the day I was born but I didn’t bother about my sickness because I have my loving family with me. As you can see, my life is covered by darkness because of my disease, but for me it’s colorful because of my family and friends. My life started meaningful too when I saw and met that girl who catches my heart. We knew each other by faces and names only and we never talked ever since, sounds odd right? But I admire her secretly that she can’t notice because I know that someday I have to leave this world anytime. That is why I did not confess to her and it sounds awkward because we never really know each other. Well, how did I know her? It is because she is my sister’s best friend, her name is Shaylie Jimenez. Every time she visits in our house making projects with my sister TJay, I am inside of my room. Whenever I needed s0omething outside I’ll just passed by them and never make a glance because I don’t want to show my feelings to her. One day, my sister comes to me with her best friend Shay, asking help for their documentary video presentation. I just looked at her with a puppy eyes begging to me to help her. “When?” I said coldly. That’s how I treat my sister but I love her I just don’t want to be kind in the eyes of others. She told me her plan of making the project; I just nodded to her and walk away from them. After that, I went to our basketball practice. When we finish our basketball practice, I walked home when suddenly I heard a familiar voice. I’m in the corner of the streets; I roam my eyes around and saw her. There are two guys holding her and she is shouting for help. I ran

    When first reading the line “I honestly do not know in what moment my sister was taken from my hands” I thought that you were speaking figuratively and this was your way of telling us that she had died. After continuing, I realized that you actually meant her being physically taken from your arms. Maybe consider rewording so that we know you mean literally not being sure when the paramedics took her from your arms to…

    I Am the Cheese Monologue

    I am confused. My name is Adam Farmer and also Paul Delmonte. I witnessed my mother and father murdered which truly makes me the cheese. I’m scared every time I think about them. I don’t want to speak about them but I fear I must to conquer the feelings. I knew my mother didn’t have any friends and my father told me that we had no family. My mother spent most of her time in her room and would have a phone call every Thursday evening and it would last a very long time. I didn’t really know my parents very well. They were mysterious to me. It was as if they were hiding myself from me, if that makes any sense. They used to whisper about me in their bedroom, with the door shut. I heard what they were talking about and I realized that they had been lying to me about my identity. My father almost caught me listening in but luckily he didn’t because I panicked and ran away before he could open the door. (1 minute) I was too scared to confront my parents about what I heard them talking about. I thought about telling Amy, my girlfriend, about how weird my parents are but I was scared of what type of opinion she would make of my family. Amy is someone who doesn’t take life too seriously. I think that she is the opposite of me because she isn’t ever afraid and she doesn’t panic, unlike me. I hate people that try to act like they are really tough, luckily they are usually stupid. There were a group of bullies that tried to take my bike and my package away from me. They weren’t clever enough to figure out that I left my bike with the police and they chased me to the police station where I rested for a while because they wouldn’t dare come near me then. Amy’s mother and my mother are also different as my mum stays home all day and her mum spends most of her time outside her house. I am afraid of a thousand things, a million. Like it is to be claustrophobic and yet fear open spaces too. I panic when I try to call Amy from a telephone booth and every time I come across a dog it…

    I was working on a school project when I got a call from my dad saying he was coming right away to come pick me up, I remember the sheathing anger I felt arguing that no he wasn’t going to pick me up that I really needed to finish this school project. I still shake my head in dismay knowing the fact I in fact didn’t need to finish the project I just wanted to hang out with my friends. I can’t pretend that I didn’t sulk my way to my dad’s waiting vehicle that I looked at him with a scowl across my face. Nor can I wipe away from my memory the words he said next “Your sister is in the hospital, she’s lost her baby and she’s asking for you.” This complete wash of emotion that came over me the shame the concern I was mortified with myself.

    When we got to my house, my friend was there. My younger sister wanted to go hang out with her friend down the street, so he and I went down the street to bring her while Leann and Kyanna stayed at my house. When we got to the neighbors yard, I could feel eyes peering at me through the window. My sister’s best friend came outside and I felt the same look again. Someone was definitely watching us.

The girl’s family…

    “Taylor, what is that on the fence?” My sister asked me as we were walking off of the bus. I looked where she was pointing and saw my goat, Divinity. I knew that it didn’t look right, so I started running towards her. As I got closer I realized that her leg was stuck in the fence and she was in a great deal of pain. When I got to her she looked up at me, like she knew I would be able to help her. I was so scared because I have had her since I was 7 years old, and I didn’t want to lose her. I had to figure out how to help her by myself as my sister was sitting there crying, not helping whatsoever. I got down close to her and told her that it would be okay as I examined her leg. It became obvious to me that I would have to cut the wire so that she could get free. It was hard to think clearly because I just wanted her to be okay.…

    I remember that cold November like it was yesterday. It was so cold that I felt the breeze going through my skin. I remember waking up to my mom and sisters crying. I can tell that my father was trying his hardest not to cry. I’ve always felt safe at home, it’s a place to feel peace and joy with family but this was different. I just wanted everything to be like the normal days where my mom fusses at me for not waking up earlier for school or forgetting to do the laundry. Everybody was so sad but trying there hardest to be strong in front of me. Everybody surrounded me as I was getting ready, it seemed like they were following my every move. I tried my hardest not to cry or just fall apart because I know that it would only make things worse and break everyone into pieces. I had to remain strong and remember that I’ve been through this before and that God is always by my side. Sitting on the dining table was pointless; the food was just there for show. Nobody seemed to have an appetite. It seemed as if they were the one going through this tragedy but I can’t blame them. If anything happened to them, I would feel the same way. I had left my house a billion times before but that morning was by far one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life. I kissed my sisters goodbye and told them to be strong for me and regardless of what happens, that they’ll always be in my heart. I have 3 sisters and not seeing there beautiful faces again would destroy me. Getting into the car was like moving to a new house. It was so quiet driving to the hospital with my parents. It was the longest drive of my life although I didn’t want the drive to end. I had to be strong though and remember that I am no longer 4 years old anymore. I was only 17 and I already been through this life trial before. Everything seemed to be playing in slow motion. I started to remember every childhood memory I had. I remembered the first time I…

    I decided that I would write a letter to my younger sister, Phoebe. We hadn’t spoken in about ten years, so I wrote her the letter explaining where I was and what I had done for the last ten years. I worked real hard on that letter, and it took me about three hours to write. After I was finished, I took one long look at it, and I realized that all this would do was make me look like a big phony for being gone all those years. I looked at it and felt that I couldn’t send it. I didn’t want her coming to me and telling me about the big phony world and how people are going on in the world. I also knew that if I sent the letter to her, my family would find me and take me back to the insane asylum. The truth was that I just didn’t want to return…

    I walked into the house, not knowing what would expect me, I looked around and heard a noise. I stood completely still not even daring to breathe. I heard it again, it was like a soft whispering noise, I moved my shaking head, to see patterns developing on the wall, I was totally confused. A little girl peeped her head around the old wall and ran to attack me. I knew it was one of my nieces. The first thing I had noticed was she obviously hadn’t developed the way a normal girl her age would have. I called the police and managed to stutter the address.…
