Running With the Wolves

The sound of a howl ripped through the dark night. I stopped and shuttered, ‘Probably just a coyote.’ I thought to myself. It was too dark to see, running my hand through my hair, I flick it behind my shoulders. I remembered when my brother was alive he used to say, ‘You have such long beautiful hair Rose.’ Then the crack of a twig got my attention and I looked around. I didn’t see anything. I started jogging, not knowing where I was or where I was going. I heard steps start up behind me and I started to sprint. I didn’t know what I was running from.
I kept thinking to myself, ‘Don’t look back, no matter what, don’t look back.’
I wanted to know what I was running from, I looked back for a split second

    This week all started when I first arrived at Atwood. My friends Ty, Alec, Evan, Joey, Carter, and my best friend Harambe (Yes, my best friend is a Silverback gorilla) are here as well. We are all transferring our abundant luggage with us into our full dorm rooms. We get settled and the first thing we do is eat lunch. After we went on a stinking 4 hour hike! It was terrible and my legs were fading. We then had dinner. The taste of the spaghetti filled my taste buds with satisfaction. After that we had a lesson about the Alpha Wolf.…

    A hill of aspens, glowing golden, shines on the right side of the trail while the left side is a pine-covered hill. Between the two is the trail, a magical escape from reality. This is my sanctuary of Buffalo Peaks wilderness. The trying experience of hiking through the mountains with 40 pounds on your back, the straps of your pack rubbing the skin off your hips and shoulders. The tension building in your muscles as you struggle under the weight. The pain that can only be diluted by a yoga session and a trip to the hot springs. Sun salutations in a lush, meadow valley. Warrior one and reverse warrior in the heat of the sun, relaxing from the miles we traveled just the day before.…

    Farmington, New Mexico 2003, 11 years old and in love with my broken down racehorse, his name was Gentleman or “Gentleman Hawk” according to his papers. We had gotten Gentleman from a sale barn for a measly 400 dollars, he was in real bad shape but my father and I nursed him back to health. When Gentleman was at full health I would run him across the pasture, back and forth until it was dark or my parents called me for supper, it was a time in my life with few worries and very little stress but this horse just brought me so much joy, it was a relationship that I look back on and cherish. Horses had always been such a big part of my families’ life and since I was the only child in the family who would go ride on his own, I really…

    I was in at Save-A-Lot a couple of weeks ago and while I was in line to check out, I overheard a lady talk about a man that was following her on the walking path behind my house. She was talking about how this man would follow her for a couple hundred feet then stop, completely strip down, and would start performing sexual acts on himself. She said that she doesn’t feel comfortable walking on the walking path anymore. We need to take action to stop these things from happening and make the walking path safer.…

    I let my feet feel the carpeted stairs inch by inch. A found missing flyer was framed on the wall as I paced up and down the hallway my head was out of my mind or was it my mind was out of my head? Screaming. Screaming. Screaming. It never stopped! Where was it! I banged on the wall over, and over, and over, and over again. I ran to the closet door and opened it. There it was; the screaming. There she was; the girl. I couldn't see her, but I could feel the chill. A victim. I closed the door. My eyes crossed and rolled back. A shot of adrenaline shoots up me. The screams poor out of my mouth. I can't control it. I try to close my mouth, but I can't. I start walking down the stairs at a fast pace. Foaming at the mouth I try to get myself together but I can't. Why. Before I know it I'm picking up my gun and walking at an even faster pace out the door, but how. Something's pulling me, but nothing's there. I'm walking faster, and faster, and faster. Past the river, past the boat, into the water, to the shore, through more woods. Walking, and walking, and walking, and walking. I stop. My upper body seems to collapse, but my legs keep me stable. I look around as if I'm checking to make sure no ones there. I take the gun to my head I start to weep and call for help... But I'm already…

    Four miles in and I've never felt better. Trailing through the woods, kicking up leaves, leaping out of my Brooks at the sound of a waking animal. This is where my soul feels at home. As I begin to look around out of pure boredom or maybe fascination, I become aware and alive. My eyes are captured by the swaying of trees and the purple weeds standing out amongst the greenery. In these moments, I appreciate so much more. The ability and talent I have to run, the trees that grant me a patch of shade on my 7 mile tempo run, and the neighbor who waves that gives me the motivation to finish my run strong. These moments have built me. My positive spirits and genuine heart have stemmed from beautiful and simple moments like these.…

    This silence is a poison. My ears become sharper and my mind more paranoid, every snap of a twig is the predator. It is disorienting to be almost blinded but given the ears of a wolf. For each aroma my brain jumps to the most fearsome thing it could be and my body prepares for flight, fright or freeze. For the most part I just freeze, running will just give my position away and I'm not much of a fighter. The silence only seems to intensify my fright, along with the darkness that’s robbing me of my best sense replacing it with paralysing fear. All I can do is wait while the blackness comes and pray that the dawn is not far behind. The earth is at it’s richest tone having bathed in the rain, I sit on the damp ground, feeling the frigid water seep into my jeans. My heart can beat all it wants, but this body won't move until daylight breaks through the canopy above. I want to see tomorrow enough to make me hold this position for as long as it takes. With my hands resting in the soil and my back to an oak, with the rough bark scrubbing at my skin. I remain, waiting,…

    I sat in the front seat as the officer drove down broadway to Santa Maria high school to pick up Roberto. My hart was pounding as we pulled up into the schools parking lot, after about ten minutes passed I felt like I was about to puke but held back. Then suddenly I saw border patrol with my brother, when I looked at him he was resisting and trying to run away. Once the border patrol settled him down he put them in the car and they where on a strait away to Mexico. While we where in the car on the highway I was tearing up and thinking about how much I was missing my family when I looked at Roberto I noticed he was fidgeting with something in his hands, as I looked closer I noticed that he had a paper clip in his hands and that he was trying…

    A noise behind me catches my attention; a tear trickles down my check. Fear grips me as I slowly turn, praying the sound is in my head. I exhale slowly trying to control the panic that bubbles, threatening to spill over. A scream catches in my throat as I realize I am being hunted. I turn to run only to find myself face to face…

    Scary Story

    When I finally fell asleep I was running. To this day I do not know what from. Whatever it was it must have been the most terrifying thing ever to exist for I seemed to be running without trying to. It was as if I had almost no control over my body. I wished to see what I was running from so I tried to open my eyes. I don’t know what I was expecting to happen. Perhaps I thought that my body would not respond to my commands as it didn’t with the running. Therefore it was a surprise to me when at my first attempt to open my eyes they did. I so wish I hadn’t. What I saw still haunts me most nights. I know that it was worse than any horror story ever made. For that reason I have great difficulty in dictating what I saw on that dreadful night not just emotionally but for the fact that the words do not exist to express exactly what I saw but I will do my best.…
