Outside, the dark, quiet evening was screaming foul play. The sky was an eerie greenish-yellow, the air was thick with dread, the streets were wet but looked painted with a gloss so slick, it was a mirror's reflection. Inside, each apartment was its own circus. People were doing what people do—except in that one window. And if you looked close enough, the trouble that was brewing was glaring.

The dark, quiet evening was approaching to be a horror movie. The steeet was so quiet, I could hear my heart beat. As I got closer to my house, a big man dressed in all black was walking with a gun pointing it at me. Nobody was in sight to save me! Shocked, tired, and scared I was as he got ready to pull the trigger, turned out it was April fools.

I could see lamps flying through the air like giant saucers. I became startled along with being worried.Next I seen a pale freckled women get thrown into the wall like a small dart into a large target. My hands began to shake as I dialed 911 knowing she was in some type of trouble.

Slick crimson blood oozes like water from her mouth as she staggers limply towards my frightened body. I reached out a teetering hand, helping her up from her hunched-over position as a wave of disgust bubbles in the root of my stomach. The pavement shakes with the emotions drilling from my brains but it wasn't a time to stop and reflect. It was a time to do or be killed and I wasn't ready to die. Just as her eyes burned with a crazing for hunger, I lunge away- not shocked but repulsed. She has the infection.

I felt as if something was pulling me straight into that one particular apartment at the very top right. Letting my curiosity get to me I decided to go inside the entrance of the apartments. I took a long deep breathe , My stomach began to churn as I stepped inside. I quickly got into an open elevator and clicked on the third floor. The lights in the elevator began to flick on and off the elevator suddenly stopped and wouldn't open. My heart began beating a thousand miles per hour I knew something strange was definitely going on.

I placed my back against the still elevator doors and melted into my knees . My mind is racing , I have to find a way to get this elevator back running . I pressed all the buttons a million times then suddenly , I felt movement . The elevator went up but it passed the third floor and all my fear came back at once . " Why is it not going to the 3rd floor ? Why did it not stop ? " I cried out .

I hid in the darkest spot and waited for the operator to pick up. Still looking through the window, hearing high pitched screams coming from the paper thin woman. I knew this man would kill her. Suddenly, the loudest silence piercing in my hot ears. He's just glaring at me through the window as I stand astounded, afraid to move.

Then all of a sudden, everything went quiet again. Rain poured softly on the antique cars that sat ominously on the streets. Not a soul nor a whisper could be heard until the eerie sound of a quiet engine crescendoed as it eased up the street. It paused like a killer before he commits his act. At that moment, the street lights flickered off as a new day began to emerge.

Dark and deserted as most people would see as a very creepy and scary place.But to others it's a place called home even despite of what people might make the neighborhood seem.Gun violence,mugging,and gang activity is what most people see but on a rainy and stormy night thats all that can be inferred about the scenery.With the ground as wet as baby oil on marble floors most people would look at the community as a gutter.However that's all you can conclude from the outside looking in.

In a whisper 911 I think he's killing her, I hear screaming, help come fast ,I think he's coming for me next; I'm in apartment 3B. This can't be happening my phone lost signal but before I could be his next victim I ran. The hallway resembles the ally tonight dark and cold. I saw his shadow on the off white walls. I felt a strong force pulling me be and like that I was out like a light.

His light was taken when that drunk driver took away his wife and kids; the memory burned in his clouded mind. He walked, feeling every rock underneath his worn sole. He didn't care about other people judging him, he judged himself plenty. He was the drunk driver. He was alone.

The light is out I am now seated at my window, gazing upon the city. There is such a calm in the heavens and upon the earth, I almost fear the world will never wake again ,What an impressive sight! a slumbering city. The beating of its mighty heart has ceased. Filled as it is with the power of man, it is now as helpless as an infant on its mother's breast.

Déyzya Hardeman P. 4.

That infant is me, hidden behind a 6 ft. 1 inch man who wants nothing more than to be loved and accepted. I think about what I could've done to the despicable man that hurt the freckled woman last night, if I had enough power in me I would've used these huge fists to give a taste of his own medicine. Little does everyone know.. I don't have it in me and neither did she. I sigh as I notice that I'm overthinking once again, I get up, grab my keys to walk to the local store. As I lock my door, I feel and see someone approaching me. I slowly turn around and its the beautiful freckled woman, bandaged lip, with nothing but hope in her eyes.

As the freckle women still in pain she still smile. She walks to the black car , but suddenly she see a man with a black coat and a frightening look on his face, soon as she see the man she goes behind the car and creep and creep to the other side of the car. She's steady looking at the man with a puzzled face, but soon as she turn her head the man stared in the window at her. She didn't know what to do but cry knowing that she was in as crossroads with the range man. She pushed off and ran behind the big black building's.

As she ran she stumbled in distress weeping and crying as quiet as possible so that the man couldn't hear her. She ran to the dark, cold, and lonely allie and looked seamlessly for a good spot to hide. She then saw a dumpster and hid behind it. The smell of old pasta and half eaten fish made her nose quiver. As the smell disgusted her she heard footsteps so she looked past the dumpster and there he was, staring at her with a cold look in his eyes.

The girl then walked home ashamed of her actions. She chuckled amused of the big deal made for nothing. Suddenly the man was behind her again this time determined to tell her something more deep something that could scar her . The man said come here as the girl ran the man pulled out a knife and chased her slowly no matter how fast she ran the man was constantly behind her at a steady pace.

It was a a dark cloudy evening not a person in sight.The wind was blowing giving me goose bumps as I was walking.A man slowly gets out the car and try to grab me, I run as fast as a leopard to get away.Run down the road I fall in the alley with only little light.As I hide behind the dumpster he slowly walk I try to creep away and bam I'm caught !

In a dark, quite evening displayed from the clouds as the day of sacrifice approached. Only hours away from the dismantling panic of the people of Newgalaville as we picked to see who life was going to be at an permit finale. "Ding Ding Ding" As the bell ring with such anticipation the villagers crowd around the abnormally large hat to draw names. Horrified As I sit and wait on the name to be pulled looking around nervously I smile to let everybody see. Not knowing the name he was going to call was me.

The soul of the man bled in agony as the night darken in brutality. The heart of the sky cried as he yelled to stop! As he gave his last breathe silence filled his apartment. But the flames of his infidelity will forever stain the floors , they once made love on . And the girl who once loved will mortally die with him.

As the anxiousness evaporated I sadly knew what time it was. Today was my day to be removed from the Earth. My family held me tight squeezing the life out of me before I was sacrificed. Only to find out that it was all a dream. Waking up in a cold sweat I thanked God for it being just a dream.

On a dark quiet evening, and a sense of danger entered my heart as the skies began to tower over my head. My heart was in a marathon going down the alley. As I approached the corner I heard hard, meaningful steps. The sky appeared to get darker when footsteps got closer, sounding more fierce. Next thing I know i had a gun to my head and the bullet went through my head but I realized it was a thoughtful nightmare.
