Leaves crunched under my feet as I ran from the police officer. Out of the corner of my eye, I spied a set of rectangular eyes on a porch. I ran to the door and knocked. “Trick or treat!” A hand reached out and placed a handful of candy corn in my bag. Soon my brother caught up, light from the full moon reflected off his plastic badge. Reaching in my bag I found grabbed some interesting feeling triangular candies and popped them in my mouth. Tonight my candy corn addiction had started. Ever since that fateful day I have been nibbling on candy corn. In the fall, it is orange, yellow and white. The winter calls for red and green candy corn. Around Valentine’s Day, it is red, pink, and white. Every day I rush home to munch on the delectable treat. I have a problem. That is why I am declaring my independence from candy corn. …show more content…
I just cannot seem to stop. Whenever I reach in my two-gallon jar of candy corn, I feel a rush. The hairs on my neck begin to tingle as I bring the candy corn to my mouth. My teeth slowly sink into the confectionary. The sweet begins to gradually melt in mouth until there is nothing left. The taste leaves me captivated and longing for more. The delicious taste prevents me from quitting. Whenever my family attempts to intervene, Halloween comes back around, getting me hooked all over again. To overcome these obstacles I must distract myself from the mouthwatering taste of candy corn. Doing this will be hard. First, I will go to the store and buy some gum. Hopefully, having some other food to chew on will prevent me from eating candy corn. Then, to prevent myself from being tempted I will lay in bed watching Netflix until I no longer crave the candy. To prevent a potential relapse, I will force my siblings to either eat all their Halloween candy the night it is received or to burn all their
On 05/14/17, I was dispatched to 2440 W. Madison in reference to an assault that occurred at the location.
I pull up and fuck your daughter, sike nah let me stop. I ain't 21 Savage and I ain't Lil Yatchy,
Thank you for your response and question. I could only hope that her family would notice she was not home. Now, how long would it take? I think maybe a few days depending on if she had things around the house that she had to do. I don’t know any other outcomes that come to mind when Connie is basically being forced in to this guy’s car to be driven to only god knows where to possibly be raped or murdered all because she was getting any kind of affection from her mother and aunt who were too busy comparing Connie to her sister. I wish we could have known how long has the house and Connie’s family been watch by this guy. I kind of wish this story had a better ending or maybe an alternate ending where she was able to get away and get help or Arnold’s
Have you ever loved someone but couldn’t tell them? Well, that’s how a farm boy, named Westley, felt when he would see his dream girl, Buttercup. Buttercup would see Westley on a normal day-to-day basis. All Westley would say when requested to do something was, “As you wish”. That’s not what he actually meant by that. He actually meant, “I love you”. When Buttercup finally told him, they started talking and planning marriage. The next day, Westley promised to return after a job he had been put to, then he left. Days went by, and Buttercup began to worry. She even told him before he left, “I would be devastated if something happens to you.” Buttercup soon gave up, and assumed that Westley, the love of her life, was dead. However, she wouldn’t be alone for long. After she swore that she would never love again, she got engaged to Prince Humperdinck. However, Westley was far from dead.
Eat it! Eat it! I dropped it in my mouth without a second thought, which probably wasn’t wise-but hey, I was ten-and then the war of spice and flavor began. “That wasn’t so bad I announced” But it turns out I spoke too soon, the burning sensation spreading like the plague in my mouth. The delicious burn of a really good spice or curry, that fiery goodness that makes you sweat and gives you a great tingling sensation, is for many people one of life’s greatest pleasures. Unfortunately, I am not one of those people. So imagine my surprise when its scaly skin grazes my tongue and the initial taste is sweet. Wow, that wasn’t so bad. I think to myself but it turns out i spoke to soon i start to realize as I take a big bite, the burst of juicy flavor
Today, Candy gave me a puppy. Its black and white, and real soft. I like petting soft things. I promised George that I ain’t gonna hurt it, because if I do I won’t get to tend the rabbits like he promised.
Maggie realized that if she had said no words or have not thought any thoughts, maybe she would forget how to speak too.
Introduction: Patrons of the season of Halloween spend over $2.5 billion dollars every year on candy, costumes, and decorations. Every year millions of kids get dressed up, knock on doors, and beg for candy. Have you ever wondered where this strange tradition originated? The three most important points of Halloween can be summed up by looking at its origins, how it came to include jack-o-lanterns and bobbing for apples, and how it is celebrated today with trick-or-treating and haunted houses.
I walk into my room and throw my bag carelessly on the floor. I’ll study later. I don’t go to my bed but move over to my window and stand there, not knowing exactly why. I open the windows, and even though it’s the middle of winter, the cold wind is most welcome here. I feel my hair blowing around my face and I know it’s going to get impossibly tangled but I don’t care. My lips are dry and too thin top isn’t doing much to keep me warm but I still don’t care. I’m not really sure where my thoughts are taking me but I’m already gone.
Have you ever felt that you were not acceptable enough? That you weren’t worth anyone’s time or attention? That you just couldn’t fit into the bigger crowd? Well, just know that you’re not alone. Somewhere in this world, someone is facing the same struggles that you are facing. There’s a young girl that goes by the name Jenny. She knows that not everybody around her pays attention to her. However, she doesn’t care one bit. She expresses herself in her own way. A way that makes her feel that she’s beautiful. A way that that makes her feel that she’s important. She’s the one who inspires me every day to be me. So, what inspires you to let your light shine?
His rumbling purr shattered the night and her dream fell away. The king must be fed. Figures, why would I ever get a real day off, anyway? Groggily, she got out of bed and filled his bowl full of his new, vet-recommended food as he rudely weaved in and out of her legs, no doubt trying to trip her. Sadistic little bastard.
“The way I see it, the law is entirely justified,” Frankie told us, nodding her head in a matter of fact way.
Every year millions of kids get dressed up, knock on doors, and beg for candy. With Halloween just around the corner, you all are probably wondering where this strange tradition came from. Every year I have experienced this holiday and have done research on this topic. According to a 2014 Smithsonian.com article, stated by Natasha Geiling, in just one year Americans spent over six billion dollars on candy, costumes, and ghoulish decor in anticipation for Halloween. Many people think all Halloween is about dressing up and going trick or treating but there's more to it than that. The roots and variations from all around are what makes Halloween what it is today. In order to understand this holiday, we will go into the history of Halloween, how it's celebrated around the world, and superstitions revolving it.
I can’t believe I’m here, stood on my podium waiting for the countdown to finish and all hell to break lose. I look around the Cornucopia, situated on a patch of grass in the center of what looks like streets of houses, searching for something I could take without getting killed instantly, I spy a backpack about ten meters away from the Cornucopia and decide to run to it. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 the horn blares and all the tributes run. I can already see a dead body, a boy from District 5 with something protruding from his abdomen; is that a fire poker? Oh god, the Careers have reached the Cornucopia already? I focus on the backpack, running as fast as I can, the taste of metal flowering over my tongue.
A few days ago Ralph blew the conch and we had another meeting. First, Ralph proposed that whoever is holding the conch gets to speak; everyone else has to be quiet. Next, we talked about getting rescued. Piggy said that no one knows where we are, so we might be here for a very long time. I miss home but we are on a good island. Jack told us that there is food, water, rocks, and blue flowers to accommodate us while we wait to be rescued. Ralph wanted to know if anybody had found anything else on the island, and a littlun was being urged to speak by his peers. He was very shy and didn't want to speak in front of everyone so Piggy spoke for him. The boy told Piggy that there was a terrible, snake-like “beastie” on the island, but I’m not scared.
