The sun gleamed through the window of my home as the birds sang outside, a serene spring morning. I gleefully skipped down the wooden stairs, running into the kitchen, eager to see what groceries my mom had retrieved from the store. My mom stood in the kitchen, loading the newly bought goods into the refrigerator. My brown eyes gleamed as I spotted a bowl full of fresh strawberries. Eagerly, I reached in to grab one of the luscious scarlet fruits. I was just about to grasp it, but something was holding me back. I turned and there was my mother 's hand on mine, stopping me from grabbing the fruit. "The strawberries aren 't ripe yet, so you can 't eat them." she explained. My smile faded and I sat looking at her, puzzled. She just grinned at me and left the room. I glared down at the tempting strawberries on the table in front of me.
Frustrated, I stared at the glistening red berries, wanting so badly to eat them. Thoughts rushed throughout my head as I thought of what trouble I would be in if I broke my moms orders. My five-year-old self ignored the possible consequences and at that moment, I disobeyed my mom 's instructions as I reached in to grab one of the fruits. I bit

As the echoing steps of my mother coming downstairs hit my ears, my eyes widened. Panicking, I shoved all the bitten strawberries back into the bowl. My mom ambled into the kitchen. I sat at the table, acting as if I knew nothing about the bitten berries. My eyes kept shifting between her and the bowl next to me. She peeked inside the bowl, then looked at me, suspiciously. "Were you the one who ate these?" she questioned. I hung my head in guilt as my mom threw the bitten berries into the trash can. The rest of that day she didn 't talk to me, there was not much to say. It was clear that I was the one who had eaten every single strawberry from the bowl. From that day on, I have learned to listen to what my mom tells me. Now I know, that mother really does
Globs of thick saliva slipped through my fingers, as I dropped it in my mouth… I tried to swallow without tasting, until I felt a hand clamp on the back of my neck. ‘Chew it!’ Mother snarled, ‘Eat it! Eat it all!’ she said, pointing to the saliva.
It was an autumn morning- the crisp September breeze was rattling the newly bare tree limbs, leaves of crimson red, orange and golden tones covered the ground like a soft blanket, and the smell of freshly bailed hay roamed the little parking lot full of vendors. As I got out of my car to walk under the festive tents a lady who seemed quite important and knowledgeable about the Bridgeport Farmers Market walked by ringing a bell. People started traveling through the tents discussing with vendors and other shoppers about an array of things; like the weather or ‘this eggplant color is so rich’ or ‘the healing power of the cookbook.’ Quickly, the small little shopping center that was filled with vibrant colored fruits, vegetables, and flowers became extremely loud. Conversations and chatter were surrounding me as I began to enter the tiny outdoor supermarket.
The floorboards creaked as she hopped down the stairs, and she hurried into the kitchen, her cold feet pattering on the wood. She ran to her mother’s side, grabbed her tightly and began to cry. Anna was terrified.
I woke to the sound of Joey screaming “Lizabeth stop, please stop”. And when I came outside to see what all the commotion was about, it was too late Lizabeth already destroyed my marigolds. These marigolds that were orange and yellow and the only thing that made me run down house look beautiful. They meant so much to me because I got those from my husband Craig Lottie. Craig had a disability that leads to him passing away a couple of years after he bought me the marigolds and that is all I have to remember him.
I deliberately tried to believe that my eyes were tricking me, but in reality we were in a perilous situation. Distraught, I heard Mama’s calm and, placid voice turn to a rough cough. The house was on fire! Papa yelled to me. “Go to the meadow!
Everybody was quite. We knew pay for inappropriate noise and did not want our mouth to be sewed. When I turned back I saw Countess near me. She was looking at that little girl with a pleasure and some kind of animal passion. Noting her senseless
I jumped away and ripped leaved from the nearest branch. In a frenzy, I wiped a mass of writing white worms from my ankle. I was shaking and wheezing. Fanta took the leaves and wiped my foot and held me and told me not to be afraid. But my hysteria escalated, even though Fanta barked at me to calm down, and I could not stop screaming (41)
she shouted, spit flying from her mouth. I ignored the oncoming headache and wobbled to a chair. Megan pushed open the door, peeking inside. She let out a shrill cry and scrambled into a corner. I narrowed my eyes into slits in confusion, getting up from my feeble position to see what had stirred her.
“Because that is what my mother would do back when I was a little
That you are just a stereotypical black girl with no daddy and a nobody poor girl. When your therapist told me the story of the basement door, I laughed cause I know you always want attention.” I slapped my mother and started punching her face. The blood ricocheted and I felt the blood in my mouth. I tasted it and smiled.
“Niyah, when you come in here for a second, please,” my mom said. “Oh no,” I thought. “It was only 8 o’clock in the morning! What could I have possibly done?” I washed my hands and went to my mom’s room.
INTRO I have done it. I have brought upon the death of another man! I have blood upon my hands. For that I feel I should have changed but desperation has replaced the sorrow I feel for my actions.
My mother entered my bedroom and immediately her face widened in absolute shock. “What did you do?” I froze, panicked. I had been discovered. Twelve-year-old me was sitting on the bedroom floor when she had come in.
One day 7 years ago, my mom and I were in the living room; my dad was in the kitchen, cooking up his famous spaghetti and meatballs.
