Short Stories on Friday's!

Welcome to Friday's Short Stories,

The Place I called Home

Julia Meyers always thought she was normal. Well at least as normal as you could be living where she did. Julia had been omitted to the asylum at the crisp age of eight. She had tried to kill her family.

The walls felt like they were caving in on me. I stared emotionless at the pure white walls of my room. The steel door was locked from the outside so there was no where to run. No way to escape. The asylum had become my permanent home eight years ago when I had tried my hand at murder. I still remember the way it made me feel. 

The sixteen year old lifted herself out of the deary bed. Her bare feet touched the cold floor and scent a shiver up her spine. The white nightgown the nurses had given to her, swayed around her ankles. I walked over to the barred window and looked down at the courtyard. The outside world seemed peaceful and happy to me but I knew the truth. Nothing is ever as it really seems. If that was the case, I probably wouldn't be locked away for all eternity.

There was a knock at the door or maybe it would be more like a bee buzzing  around your head kind of noise. The nurse entered through the steel door, closing it behind her. The aged woman looked at me and smiled. "Good morning, Julia. How are we feeling this morning?"

I tried to think of something cheerful to say but nothing came to mind. I did my best to smile, hoping she wouldn't notice how faked it really was.

"Fine." I gritted my teeth.

Why is she still looking at me? I'm not her test subject. There's something off about her today. Just look at the way she is carrying herself. 

She sighed and placed a tray on the dresser, "You're not fine. Are you, Julia?"

I was found out. There was no point hiding what was on the inside anymore. I nodded. 

Tears began to run down my cheeks. But I had no idea why. I didn't understand these emotions. Most people felt something, I felt nothing.

The nurse shook her head at me, "Now, Julia. Everything will be alright. What are all these tears for?"

Julia shook her head. Her head bobbed left and right as fast as her neck would allow.

"I don't know what's wrong with me." she thought digging her nails into her arms.

The nurse picked up the tray and walked over to her. She handed me a tiny plastic cup. You know the kind you would put your ketchup in and told me everything would be alright. 

I looked dazedly at the cup, "Are these my pills?"

The nurse smiled, "Yes," she paused looking out the window, "They will make you feel better."

I looked down into the cup. The pills smiled back at me. I lifted the plastic cup up to my lips and threw the pills in. Swallowing the pills was the easiest thing for me. The pills glided down my throat and settled in my stomach.

The nurse smiled at me. She always seemed to be in such a happy mood but I was always the same. My monotone voice carried over to her, "Thank you."

She nodded her head and then went out the door. Locking it behind her. Locking me in. I stared at the door for a long moment. I walked over to my bed and climbed in. Taking the sheets, I covered myself with them. Waiting for tomorrow to come.

This was the place I lived. The Place I Called Home.

Nine Lives too Short....!!!

Hey Everyone I've been working on making  on completing my job applications. Which would be a lot easier if I kept all my references in one place. But no, crazy organized girl can't seem to do that. Wow, that's just sad. I'll have to get some kind of system going on to keep all my current information together. Then bye bye crazy application problems. I signed up to take my Driver's License Test. I guess that's big news. I finally be able to drive. Which will be great for college, work, and smaller endeavors.  I'm super nervous. I feel so much could go wrong. The worst that could happen is that I can't parallel park or I can't follow the instructor's commands which should be pretty basic.I hope it is anyway. I've been keeping in contact with my boyfriend who lives in Fort Myers. Haha. Talk about long distance. I think I've been doing a pretty good job so far because I've kept in touch with him and I text him almost everyday.  I r...

Worst Movie Ever...!!!

Hey Readers, So last night, my little sister and I watched a redbox movie that has been laying around the room for days now, waiting to be watched. It was the worst movie I have ever seen. The move was called Snow White and the Huntsman. It was probably the worst movie ever made. It was slow, nothing really interesting happened in the whole entire time we watched it. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep for about an hour, when I awoke, the movie was still playing with barely any progress. Kristin Stewart did a terrible job of acting. I don't even care enough to make sure her name is spelled right, I apologize to any of my readers who like her or at least her acting. I don't really envy her all that much because she sucks at acting, literally. The man who played the Huntsman was a little better but not exactly the best either. I'm pretty sure though that he played Thor, which I actually enjoyed very much. But this movie was outdrawn, too long...

The Book List!

Hey, So now I've limited my Book List to possibly five must read books in the coming weeks ahead. As most of you know, I've started  Linger and I am on page 109 of 360. So I have a ways to go yet but I'm really excited about it. Here are the other books on my list. 1. Heist Society 2. Raised by Wolves 3. Revolution 4. Eldest 5. Marley & Me I am so excited that this is what I want to read most right now as of for April and May. I have until May 10th to read them all. I hope I can make it to the due date. Right now, I want to finish Linger and start Heist as soon as possible. I also have a ton of books from the Library on Miscellaneous things like Pomeranian's, Shiba Inu's, Bernese Mountain Dog's, Great Danes, Dog Training, Manga, and etc. It's a rather large list and I'll probably end up taking  most of the books back before I ever get a chance to read them like I always do. What can I say, I love books. Love Britt <3
