I was in a garden. I felt wind pushing me back with her soft and cold hands, touching my face, playfully disheveling my hair, making me step back, like a naughty lover. The sky was painted in mesmerizing bright colors. The air was fresh and the weather was sunny. My eyes were closed. I breathed deep and slow. I was overwhelmed with the sweet smell of ripened juicy water-melons, the taste of cucumbers, tomatoes, nostalgic chirping of birds, and the surreal touch of running my hand through rows of iridescent flowers. I was going to miss so much. There, I felt at home like I was tugged into bed at night by my mother. I desired to soak in the art in the air of Tuscany which I could see and smell but could not grasp. I walked into a village. …show more content…
I brought it up to my eyes, that is when I saw her. In a building, in front of me, she was standing in a small balcony with her hands on its rust adorned iron balustrade.The balcony was doused in golden gleam of her skin, she was tall and dazzling: wearing a becoming purple gown, her long, brown, curly hair blew back due to the mischievous wind. She was twisting one of her hair locks while smiling at me with eyes deep as abyss. I felt fear of losing her without even having her. I was terrified by the ephemeral nature of that moment. I was frightened and captivated at the same moment like a nubile looking at a bridal gown through the glass window of a store. Then she grimaced and looked away. Inadvertently, my hand moved over my chest, over my heart; it bruised my hand red like a broken shard of glass. I was in pain. I was still looking at her. She had cast a spell on my spirit. Then she took a deep breath, closing her eyes and puffing her chest. Was she trying to seduce me? She let out a soft moan, I waited with bated breaths, my heart stopped beating to watch, while my blood was turning toxic and burning my nerves. It was
The look in her eye that said, "We need to talk," was both clear and cryptic not to mention, scary. As she reached for his hand, time slowed and his vision sharpened. He saw a map of her experiences in the palm of her hand, her life's story written in the countless
Her eyes were a deep brown, several shades darker than her fur. Her ears were perked high, twitching at the crackling of branches in the distance. She maintained perfect eye contact with me. It was like looking in a mirror. Her face was narrow, long and brown.
She was looking at me like for a wildfowl. I saw this kind of eyes only once. I and my father were hunting in local forests when we were attacked by the wolf. My father killed reflexively by the shot. At that moment I observed those eyes full of hatred and passion.
She seemed like a troubled spirit, like some shadow out of the earth, clinging to him and entreating him to give her peace. Behind her the fireflies were weaving in and out over the wheat. He put his hand on her bent head. On my honor, Marie, if you will say you love me, I
I shook my head slowly. Her breath was shaky as she skimmed the page and covered her mouth, tears poured from her eyes. I was in disbelief from this startling
She didn't touch me, she just sat there very still. It was like she had to be very together because I had gone to pieces. She said ‘Tish i declare. I don't think you got nothing to cry about.’ She moved a little.
My focus turned to the source of my tantalization. A cup that grandma placed on the table for me. It was just a simple cup of coffee with two sticks of cinnamon in it. The fragrant cup was match by an alluring flavor. It felt like a warm hug with a kiss from
My chest tightened. How could she have the language? She was the same age as me, and I deserved it more. I don't know why, but I felt certain way that I did. I yanked my braid out the back of my shirt and let it fall over my shoulder.
The land was large, dry, and barren. Miles on miles of dusty ground speckled with polluted grayish grass was all that was left for sore eyes to look upon. A small figure slowly dragged itself and its belongings next to the dug in path next to it. The path once flowed with cool, sparkling water, but now was nothing but a canyon-like trail that served to remind the people of what used to be. The figure was a man known as Guy Montag.
I had looked up at the vast skyline, that stretched along the brisk blue sky, with both a sense of wonder and shock. My dad, my mum and I. Ready to start again in this new life. Away from the disaster that had engulfed our homeland. I planted my face up against the window as the taxi travelled along the snaking road, captivated by the various new sights, smells and sounds. We arrived at our small apartment atop a bakery which my father had just purchased.
Yellow tulips were swaying in the cool summer breeze. He ran his hands through the flowers and felt their soft petals tickle his little hands. He ran towards an open field and fell back upon the soft green grass. He watched the bright blue sky and the white puffy clouds make different images in the sky. It was the perfect day to relax.
In an act that would have humiliated her just the night before, she grabbed a sharp piece of scrap next to her and cut a large piece of the skirt off. As the blue cloth floated away, she surprisingly felt no remorse. She began to lay down again when she heard a soft grunt near her. She sat up and looked into the water to see a beautiful seal with familiar eyes floating in the water. Her mind took a while to process what was happening.
Life can have its way with people - some are strong enough to carry the burden, while others stumble under the weight. What is this “weight” I reference? The weight of belonging, of fitting in with society, of appealing to others’ sense of who you are, of not loving yourself, of hating your own existence. This was him.
It felt as though I was running through a montage of my life like in all the romantic movies. It felt as though everything was passing by in a blur yet ever so vivid. Like time had stopped yet moving so fast. The words I spoke felt unreal and the steps I took felt non-existent. I looked ahead of me and all I could see was white sand and the beautiful ocean rubbing up against it.
Birds were chirping; flowers swaying in the wind. Warm rays of light hit my face; I stirred awake rubbing the dust out of my eyes. We packed our stuff for the final event of this holiday at the theme park. Everything seemed fine. I got onto the rollercoaster with my family to have some extreme fun.
