Personal Narrative Fiction

The kingdom was peaceful and friendly and its people were honest and carefree. The King, King Victor, was fair and kind and it was reflected in the everyday kingdom life as well. King Victor had 4 sons: Maximus, Duo, Tribus, and Quattor, each possessing a great deal of talent, spirit, beauty and strength. Maximus, the firstborn son, was the strongest, the most handsome, and possessed the most charismatic spirit. Unafraid of nobody and always praised for whatever he did, he grew rather arrogant. And then there was Minimus. Minimus, the 5th son, the runt of the litter. Always in last place, weak, ugly and untalented, to say the least. Scorned upon by his brothers, he grew rather meek and quiet. He became ghost in the royal family, always careful

Lying on the uncomfortable, terrible, backstabbing prison mattress, I am feeling exhausted. I hadn’t slept for days after that traumatising incident. The fear and pain I am feeling deep inside me is unbearable and seems to become more and more horrifying as time goes past. As my cracked lips tremble, Pearl-shaped tears slowly drip out of my puffed-up eyes and down my frail face, as I remember that unforgettable moment that happened in a split second. I stare at the damp, dirty ceiling with my heart completely shattered, trying to think of reasons why I should live. The more I think about the accident, the more distressed I feel.

There was also a small truck and a small bus that hit each other. They didn’t catch fire, but there was a body on the ground beside them. As soon as I saw it, there was a cold wave of recognition crashing through my body, making my vision sway as I realized, it was dead. No questions like why, how he died. Nothing. Just a frozen state of mind. My throat ached as I used every breath. There was less, and less oxygen remaining in the car. I dared to open the window. Warm fresh air mixed with a smell of burnt grass hit me in my face.

As we walk Alec and I talk about classes-which classes are boring or fun. I heard Judy and Kevin taking what they will be doing after college. The street that we are passing has trees on either side as we pass. As far as eyes can see there is only me, Alec, Judy, Kevin and an lady in her mid 40ies, who is about 5 feet away. As we crossed the street two cars came speeding towards us. One of the cars came from our left and the other from our right.

Embarrassed, I sauntered off, as far as I could I just kept on walking, gazing as the amount of people in the hallway decreased. I needed to think. I discovered myself at the courtyard door.

Absorbing the information, Casey felt it didn’t quite fit. “I thought everyone suspected Thomas was the unknown victim on the landing.”

Yelling at the top of our lungs, I couldn’t believe what was about to happen. Next thing you know, we had hit a big pole right in front of the mall. The windshield was shattered into pieces and my head had hit the front seat, almost as if I was about to fly straight out. My head was pounding that’s when I realized I had hit my head pretty bad. Blood was dripping down from my eyebrow and it felt like I was about to pass because my vision was getting hazy.

There was still the option that Lacey hired someone to kill Sean. Would their spirit want to remain here to avenge their death?

I laid back in my hospital bed as my stomach began to growl. I politely called the nurse.

 "Damn thing went out again," Minzy growls, slamming her hand against the air conditioner. I rub the back of my neck, sweat trickling down my body in a fit of heat overdose.

Before he opened the door to the ritual room he turned toward Andrew and told him. “And I see that fire in her Mother’s eyes.”

Unable to open my eyes, waking up trying to identify where I was, pedestrians stared, pointed and yelled “Oh! My god. Call 911”. Cars drove by. The sirens were heard but not spotted. What Happened? Where was I? I wept as if the entire world, and all of its beauty, had come to an end. And in a way, it had. On the night of April 7,1997 my thin body flew from the backseat passenger side of a Nissan Sentra crashing through the front passenger window onto the roadway of Old Town, Staten Island.

Anyway, back to Spencer. I was leaning against the wall, and then I someone ran into me. I stumbled and fell sideways, right into Spencer. For a couple seconds I couldn’t figure out what happened. All I knew was my head kinda of hurt and there was beer spilled all over my shirt. Someone held out a hand and pulled me up. That someone was Vivian. At the time, the only thing I knew about Vivian was that she scared the shit out of me. Two years prior to that day, she looked a lot like Alice, actually. Cute blonde hair, bright blue eyes, wore little dresses to school. Then she changed. She died her hair black, got a nose piercing, and I hadn’t seen her in a dress since. I hadn’t even talked to her in several years when she pulled my beer-soaked

“In the known universe, size matters” (Known Universe: The Biggest and Smallest). The National Geographic documentary Known Universe: The Biggest and Smallest explores how size shapes our universe from the largest stars to the miniscule atom. Through discussing topics such as the reclassification of Pluto, Kepler space mission, and particle colliders, the documentary helped inform and motivate me to search for up-to-date information on these topics. Alternatively, the documentary does well to visualize size as well as simplifies topics to a basic understanding of the subject matter.

In the white paper “Challenges in the Effective Use of Master Data Management Techniques”, author David Loshin addresses the most critical challenges that organizations may face in their quest to develop an MDM strategy and suggests that phased implementation is an ideal approach. Threats to a successful implementation of a Master Data Management methodology could be encountered throughout the entire project. The planning phase of the initiative is the most frequently realized as organizations fail to align goals and disagree on the definitions and attributes for the master records that will reside in the central repository. During the execution phase, data loss or corruption could become imminent if IT is required to
