Aliens (Descriptive Writing)
Standing in the blazing sun I could feel my heart racing as I carefully scanned the field for the ball. I could see Choochi had possession and he was running towards me with a sinister smile. He took a stance a few feet away from me and gave me a nod as his leg swung back. Before I was able to see his foot make contact with the ball I heard it in the net behind me. He walked slowly towards me mockingly mirroring my facial expression. I saw his lips moving but I couldn’t hear over the rumbling. “Rumbling?” I thought to myself, it’s too nice out for……”. Before I could complete my thought, a gloomy sky appeared followed by complete darkness and a loud thud. A bright light pierced through the darkness and in that same second Choochi was right next to me with his hand wrapped in mine. I could see my brothers shuffling towards me with the same puzzled look on their faces. The origin of the light opened up and a glass escalator with neon lights flashing rhythmically extended to the other end of the field. They started getting closer but not because they were moving, I was. Against my will I started ascending while the others as confused and frightened as I was followed.
As we walked along a dark chilly hallway I was scared, when I’m scared I cry but surprisingly my eyes were rather dry. I could hear a catchy and familiar tune in the distance. As we walked it got louder until I could make out what it was and then we stopped. I felt something wet on my cheek and used my hand to wipe it off. It was a tear. “Wait! I moved my hands” I exclaimed. Now back in control of our bodies we followed each other voices and huddled together. My brothers were as scared as I was, I could hear fear roaring in their voices but they tried to hide it. We were all talking at once trying to make sense of what was going on when another tune ripped through the air. “Here’s my number, so call me baby” sang the two idiots I shared a womb with for nine months. Before I was able to comment on

For some reason, I kept fiddling with my fingers, I was really nervous to see him. We took the exit 31A and we all shifted to the left since it was a sharp turn to the right. My big sister, Maisie, was on my shoulder and we shifted her head fell on my lap. She woke up and asked where we were. “We are almost there Maisie” my Dad said. We stopped at the traffic light and I fiddled with my fingers some more. “Stop fiddling with your fingers!” Maisie whispered to me. In my head, I say “I can’t, he is the first boy of the family, the first! Besides me!” I stopped fiddling and looked at the huge structure in front of me, The Holy Cross Hospital.…

    The phone that rang was our counselor’s phone. He immediately picked it up and after a few seconds a bereft expression appeared on his face. The light in his eyes disappeared and his joyful air was replaced by a dour look. He slowly removed the phone from his ear, and with the little energy the shock had left him, stood up and walked away. We gaped at each other in silent knowing. How devastated he seemed worried me since I knew about the situation with his sister I was afraid to even think it could have been something to do with that. We were only missing a few minutes to then have a camp wide break, during those minutes the air surrounding us filled with a solemn silence. Finally after what seemed an eternity we heard the voices of the rest of the kids leaving to break so the counselor’s assistant told us to do the same. We slowly stood up and followed the crowed. We were so afraid and surprised that none of us spoke; I guess it was because we…

    “Mom, mom, mom, mom!” I was practically screaming. I already knew what she was going to say. I just sat back on the couch and watched as a tear streamed down my face into my hand. I eventually fell asleep on the couch. I woke up at three in the morning and I could see the sun peaking out with the stars and moon retreating back until another night. I don’t know what came across me but I thought to myself why people are so cruel. I looked outside to see if anyone was out there. I just saw an empty street, just like one of those old ghost towns in old western movies.…

    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. How could I have been so mad about my importance when my sister had just faced a devastating event? Looking up and saying “Take me to her.”…

    The sun shined onto the green color. The smell of the neatly cut grass was reassuring us the reason we were here, to win. We were alone, alone in a city of grass. The dark colored ball was covered in a mirage of dirt. Our cleats gleaming onto the ball. The field was neatly cut, cared over, never left alone without anyone to accommodate it. The ball was shot with a dash of speed. As the ball hit the ground we all reached onto the middle for a chance to have the ball that started it all. It was shot back and forth, until at last it was short towards me. I was lost in choices. Should I pass? To who? Should I shoot? I was too late. He slid towards me, I saw the moment he hit my legs. What should I do? Yet again I was lost. As I sat there in the…

    By the time the first semester of fifth grade ended, my parents were well split up. I guess it was some way to put an end to the constant bickering and daily arguments. During this time period, me and my sister had bonded greatly over many hours of being locked up in the basement or shut up in our bedroom. Being the oldest child hadn’t felt as satisfying to me anymore as I had watched my sister struggle to understand the revisions our family was making, nor did I have as much clarity of the situation at the time. After what seemed like an eternity of battles, my sister and I came home from a visit at our aunt’s house to find my dad sitting on the couch with a suitcase awaiting our arrival. The suddenness set up the moment to be a blur. Even though neither of us knew what was actually happening, we had sensed all the hurt emotions rushing from my mom in the form of tears. Soon, Mandy and I added to the puddle being…

    My brothers and I were holding each other tight, trying our best not to think of the events of just hours before. We focused on everything around us—the little warmth in our bodies, the sound of the train running over the hard tracks of the railroad, the rough floor of the train. We were quiet, making no noise. By some kind of miracle, my youngest brother, Adam, was sound asleep in my arms. The brother closest to my age, Levi, was just sitting there, staring straight ahead. We stayed like this, inaudible, until the train screeched to a halt.…

My mother was assassinated by someone in the Shawnee tribe. I saw the blood running down her sides. The shape of a long, dark, worn out, splintered spear pierced her chest. My father had a soft heaving voice.…

    As I sat there, playing, the door suddenly banged open. My mom stood there anxiously with fear in her chocolaty eyes. I knew something tragic had occurred for she never came home early. She grabbed my forearms and pulled me up with a jolt and snatched a plastic bag from the corner and stuffed what little clothes and toys I had in it. My own brown eyes were filled with tears, but I didn’t let them fall. She dragged me along as she moved and on her way out, she shut the door with a thunderous bang. Who would have thought that that was the last day I would ever see that little one room garage house again.…
