Clide, Come On: A Narrative Fiction
“Clide, come on. You’re going to be late! GET UP!” screeched the woman of the house, my mom Sandra. I’m taking my time as usual, dragging my feet off my cosy bed as my numb arms reach for my drawer. Our family isn’t very rich, so I don’t have a wide range of clothes to pick from. I wear a black top and jeans, the usual. My mom says that black makes my eyes standout since they’re ever green. I quickly brush my hair even though they always look messy regardless of the amount of times I take showers. “Clide, don’t make me come up there!” “It’s the first day! You must make a good impression!” “Jeez Mom, I’m coming!” I shout as I slide down the stair handles. Although mom always told me to not do it, I have a habit of not listening to her. I quickly

    The atmosphere of the game, the crack of the bat, and the smell of the turf are what fans love most about sports, especially baseball and soccer. Baseball has been around since 1839 in America, and soccer is an early nineteenth century sport originated in England. The 1969 World Series winning “Miracle” New York Mets and the Cinderella story of the 1978 European Cup winning Nottingham Forest are stories that are remembered to this day. The phenomenon of the underdog stories from the United States with the 1969 Mets and in England with the 1978 Nottingham Forest teams rely on their initial failures in previous years.…

    Tom wondered for what seemed to be the millionth time why Dectives were required to dress like wall-street bankers or stock analysts. At least that was the expectation in public, however the moment he had the office to himself, he unknotted his tie, slipped off the linen suit jacket, and undid the top button of his shirt, then sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and tapped the tip of a ballpoint pen against his teeth. That was Tom's usual mode of concentration and contemplation, and so intent was the man's focus on the new case that all else slipped from his mind, even the recollection that he'd texted his wife. Therefore, the sudden familiar sound of her voice, accompanied by the enticing aroma of barbecue, startled him, and he immediately shot upright. The sight of Lila elicited a smile that only widened with the greeting and kiss. "Sorry baby."…

    “I mean it when I said I liked the personal touch on the rifle Codsworth,” I said as I was walking down the stairs and near the door. “Did you find anything Alexander?” asked Paladin Uther once Codsworth and I were down stairs. I pulled out the rifle and showed him it with a smile. “Well it looks like this will be perfect for stealth with that silencer and all. What does that say on the sign? Oh. ‘Codsworth was here sir!’ nice touch, I didn’t know that robots like Codsworth did graffiti,” He said looking at the rifle with a sudden grin. It was nice to see those Paladins grin after agreeing to go with me on a mission they think is worse than suicide. “Well let’s go outside and regroup with the initiate and knight that are out there,” said a…

    Four years ago, I read an article about an English man who stayed in China for 20 years to throw away and recycle the litter tourists carelessly leave on the streets. This man, William Lindesay, eventually realized that he could accomplish more with a group than he could alone, so he created a volunteer group. When I read that article, I was awestruck by his fierce dedication and leadership. Immediately, I realized that I too wanted to devote my life to making a change.…

    While she explains everything to her, my mom quickly changes her tone, as if, she wants to set a great acting scene to her. My mom changes her tone in many different social areas, such as being with our family, going out with other people, going to work and being with me. The author’s were simply talking about how people can change in different areas, and that anyone can have their tones shifted. A personal experience I’ve had would be an interview for my current job. Usually, when I’m with people I’m comfortable with, I act like my normal self. I’m loud, funny, talkative, outgoing and caring. I dress with tops and shorts, skinny jeans and slippers, or when I feel like it shoes. For my job interview, I dressed casual. All covered from head to toe, closed shoes, hair-tied up and acting like my professional self as if I was at school answering questions that my teachers ask me. I answer nicely and calmly, but still act like my normal self. When my interviewee wanted a regular conversation with me, just to get to know me and get comfortable with me, our conversation turned from an interview to a great laughable conversation. My tone shifted quickly just being myself with someone I just met. This is a tone shift that I’ve experienced and that I’ve seen…

    It drove him crazy thinking how she got her emotions under control so easily. If it was up to him, he would be jumping up and down in joy and yelling all sorts of happy words to counteract the evil in the Universe just because he had triumphed in another mission. Even after a century since he was brought back from Elysium from the Underworld there were still some situations where he would act like a complete mortal. But of the few things he had learnt about his Commander throughout that century one was that she wasn’t someone to show emotions easily. She always knew how to keep his feelings under wraps.…

    The classroom was bright and colorful. It was like a world of wonder. We hung our backpacks up in the small cubbys and got settle in our seats. Each of the desks had our names on them.

    It was the night of July 18th. The air was very warm and it turned out to be one fun- filled and exotic night. Ainisha, Kimberly and myself had made plans to go out and get drunk (something we rarely do). We had got dressed and we all looked incredibly sexy like a top model in the sports illustrated magazine. We wasn’t to dressy, but sexy enough to blend in with the local crowd. Ainisha had worn a black printed shirt that hung off her shoulders like leaves hanging from a tree, and some laced tights that showed off her short, bodacious body. Kimberly had worn a white form fitting v-neck shirt that had her large breasts bulging out like an overstuffed teddy bear, and yelling “hey you” to anyone that looked their way. Me, myself wore a pair of bright yellow skinny jeans, that were as yellow as the hot sun, with a colorful and head turning halter top, that tied around my neck perfectly like a diamond necklace. Our accessories gleamed with shades of blue, pink, yellow, silver and gold from the left side to the right side. It looked as if it were colorful fireworks being set off in the sky from our accessories. You couldn’t tell us that we didn’t look incredibly flawless like a makeup model off of the covergirl page.…
