... her and there was nothing I could do to ease her pain. I left her house feeling empty and scared. The funeral would be in two days and Amanda needed me to be there for her. The next two days seemed to drag. Dread and anxiety filled my body. The day was coming and I had no idea what to expect. The day of the funeral was a beautiful summer day. The sky was blue with not one cloud visible. It seemed ironic that a day filled with such sorrow had such a gorgeous setting. I remember walking into the funeral home seeing so many faces filled with pain. Amanda was sitting with her family. She turned and cried in my arms. Her Mom gave me a hug. I felt at a loss for wor ...

... could receive from this expierence. It was not long before I was standing in front of the modern Citicorp building. The building exterior consisted of mainly large glass windows which provided a very vivid reflection of the neighboring buildings, almost camouflaging its presence on the block. I thought of how the buildings appearence is suiting for what is happening inside at that moment. I casually walked into the revolving glass doors that stood at the base of the building. There were plenty of stores to my left and right. They ranged from candy stores selling snickers bars and almond joy to fast food restaurants selling burgers and french fries and all of the ...

... time the traffic was very dense and I was very angry due to the previous events I was involved in. It was a three lane highway and I was driving on the left lane, my exit was few minutes away and I knew that if I didn’t switch lanes rapidly I would have to drive two to three more miles on a very slow moving traffic. I decide to begin switching lanes, I successfully transferred from the left lane to the middle lane even though there was hardly any space between cars. I turned my turning signal on and slowly began to switch to the right lane. The car next to me didn’t give a chance to switch so I moved back to the middle lane. After twenty to thirty seco ...
... As a matter of fact, we only talked to people we knew. We barley had a chance to talk to others because we were hard at work. Because of the treatment and conditions of life, we were shy. As I said, these conditions of life were horrible. For example we were beaten and abused by our master because we dropped a glass full of water. I was hurt physically and mentally. Like I said we were abused and beaten by our master. We were not only beaten and abused, but we were also hard workers. We can do a lot in a day. I picked crops and cooked food for the master and his family. My day started at 5:00 a.m. and ended at 7:00 p.m. Just because we were hard worker ...
... I called Mr. Machiano and asked him to meet me at the palace. As I approached the area where the body was found I began to feel a little queasy. I searched the ground around the body hoping to find some clues. I noticed the sparkle of metal pertruding from the ground. I picked it up and saw it was a gold and diamond ID bracelet with the name Montresor inscribed on it. I decided to do a little more research on this man. I went to the station and asked the secretary to show me the file on any person missing for more than 20 years. The list only had about five people on it with a brief description. There was a man by the name of Fortunato on it who has been m ...
... I knew what was going on I was in . I already miss my friends, my family, and especially Abbey. I am constantly numb with the fear that I will have to kill another human being, or worse I myself will be shot and killed. How could my family and Abbey deal with this? Everyone here hates the war and just wants to go home to their families. Everyday dozens of men are shot or killed by land mines, and I am really becoming depressed. I have seen so many men die just inches away from me. All I can think of is that could be me. I have come to the conclusion that war is the most awful and barbaric thing that anyone would ever have to go through, and I hate it. One ni ...
... lately without a trace. Let me tell you it was not a lot of fun! Interviewer: I see. Could you also please tell me why you ventured down- Mr. Pitt: Sure. I was sent down there to find it, and salvage it, all before the sea explodes. Interviewer: Um, find and salvage what? Mr. Pitt: Oh yeah, the STARBUCK. It's the latest American super-sub, an underwater nuclear arsenal. So I had to go down there and disassemble all the nuclear warheads before they're reached by foreign terrorists. And I wasn't kidding, it really was no fun! All those assassins and traps, it was no fun at all! Interviewer: Well, that's all the time we have at the moment. You ...
