Blood. That’s all I see as the cold water runs down my back, rinsing out the blood in my hair. I look down at my hands and all I see is more blood. As I turned around to wash off the rest of the blood off, I looked at the light red water swirling around my feet turn to a dark red. The smell of blood was so over powering I could feel my heart thumping, the blood pumping through my veins; I needed more blood. By the time I got out of the shower I could hear Ivan and Pierce talking about the next mission Javier had sent over this morning. When I walked into the kitchen Pierce looked up and smiled, I walked over and gave him a soft kiss the check as a thank you for what he did for me the night before. “Your briefing is in ten minutes, and Javier doesn’t too happy with you,” said Ivan as I grabbed for a strawberry off his plate. “Oh, give me a break!

What would you do if your town started to come down with a fever that no one knew what it was?

One reason I think that he used that is because people was getting sick and dying everyday and that they didn’t know what was going on so that they called in a better Dr. not saying that the Dr.’s that they had was not good but he had more practice than what they did. Another thing is that people’s systems was getting worse and they did not know who to stop it and they tried everything that they could. They don 't know what 's causing it

During the discussion, I didn’t talk as much as I should have because for the questions that I didn’t raise my hand for I didn’t have an opinion for the discussion at hand, or at least I didn’t have a solid response that could be backed up with the text or generate more discussions among the group. For the two times that I did respond to someone’s response, I felt that I had a view worthy of being shared among my group, and this was supported when some of my peers agreed with the point I made and added their own view on top of mine. But for my second response, it was more like two responses which were included in one as a result of my wanting to respond to something that was mentioned before but that I wasn’t called on for, and for the most recent response at the time. The story closes with the image of a giggle to further convey to the reader that Mary’s mentally unstable.
