What do you do when you hear something you weren’t meant to hear and they know you heard it? The chattering of the other people in the restaurant made John feel anxious because he was sitting alone in a booth which was pretty much isolated from the rest of the diner. The doors flung open and silence over took the restaurant. Two men walked in, they were dressed in what looked to be newly bought suits. They made their way to the counter and asked for a quiet booth. People watched them as they moved menacingly with purpose and strength, they looked menacing. John had been sitting quietly alone in a booth and the waiter had completely forgotten about him, this led to the two men in suits being placed in a booth behind him. The men were settled …show more content…
The men in the booth behind him started to talk after they had received their drinks. John was having a hard time trying not to listen in on the conversation that the two men were having. He was drifting in and out the conversation and some of the things he heard were unusual. One mentioned something about some sort of chemicals and blowing everything up. John knew he had to report what he had just heard, and he also knew that thousands of lives depended on it. Now John had to decide on whether or not to get up and leave his booth risking being noticed by these men. He had made his decision, John had to leave. He slinked out of the safety of his seat and carefully made his way past the two menacing men. “HEY!” yelled one of the men. They had just realised where John had come from. They scrambled out of their booth and chased him out of the restaurant and down the street. John ran as fast as a cheetah chasing its prey, terror gripped him like a vice. He could hear the two men getting closer, their rasping breathing was just behind him. He had to think quickly, how could he elude them? He nearly slipped over as he turned a corner. John felt like he just died inside because he now faced a dead end. He ran down the alley way looking desperately for somewhere to hide, but there was nothing. The two men grabbed him and threw him up against a wall, one of the men whispered in his ear, “No eves dropping,” before hitting him over and over. John could feel his vison fading as he sponged punches but stayed
The boy didn’t tell the police. For several days he didn’t tell anyone at all. He looked at the newspapers twice a day for news of killing, but he didn’t find anything. More than the farmer's gun, he had been frightened by the strength of the farmer's resolve. It had been like a chunk of stone and compared to it the boy had felt as soft as a piece of white bread. The boy never knew what happened. Perhaps nothing had happened.
It is a cold and stormy night, Walter Schiedel was in a hurry as though he was running late. He looks at his phone, no new messages, he is relieved. Hopefully they are not there yet, he thinks as he picks up his pace. He tries to remember when was the last time he has seen Roger V. Gould and Randall Collins. It seemed like ages ago. He turns the corner and sees Randall first. They hug and walk in the bar together. He notices Roger grabbing a few beers from the bartender. Roger sees Walter and yells, “Hey Walter! We got a booth in the back near the darts”. Walter smiles, tonight is going to be a good night, he thinks.

It was Friday night, everybody was asleep, and it was time. So John ran down the stairs quite like a mouse and very meticulously, and then slipped out the window to walk over to mitch’s house. When he got there, there was music blasting, lights flashing, and people all over the place. Before he went to join the fun, John took a deep breath and thought whatever happens… happens. While John was at the party he felt pressured to partake in many bad behaviors, along with his friends while the were drinking and everything. John thought to himself about what he should do, should I go home and face the consequences, or stay and possibly face even more trouble. So he decided to stay and just see what happens. For the duration of the party John stayed inside with some of the other kids and snacked on some of the apitizers
The hallway group observes the police as they beat up on William. While others saw the first-hand the brutality the cops exercised as they brought him out of the building dragging him into the rain through the puddles forcing the perpetrator violently into the back seat of the vehicle. The lights from the patrol cars attracted a crowd in front of the building. Most were wondering what was happening, but when they saw William, they knew. Upset with the treatment of the black man, they began to shout, “Police brutality! With the threat of being taken downtown, the crowd was silenced, that is except for some of the younger kids, they motioned with their fingers while shouting, “Police brutality! Pigs!

They asked to search the house and asks some questions, the narrator felt fine and let the officers in. The narrator took the officers to each room and even sat down in the bedroom to sit and discuss about the scream. “I soon wished that they would go. My head hurt and there was a strange sound in my ears. I talked more, and faster. The sound became clearer. And still they sat and talked.” The narrator was being a little cocky about his clean up and thought he was in the clear, but was getting annoyed for how long the officers were staying for. Soon the narrator started to hear the soft ticking sound he once swore against. The narrator started to grow paranoid from this sound and soon began to snap. “Suddenly I knew

The room that John picks out for his wife is upstairs and secluded. There are bars on the windows and the wallpaper has patches that have been ripped off. Would you want to stay in a room like this after already suffering from depression and anxiety? She tells him that she expected a room “downstairs that opened on the piazza and had roses all over the window.” (217). However, she walks in to find a bed that is nailed to the floor. Imagine how scary that would be! John assures his wife and their family that she is fine. He thinks she will get better being in this room away from everyone and everything. Her “brother is also a physician and he says the same thing.” (216). She is placed into an uncomfortable environment and is made to be alone against her will. This is one of the reasons she loses her mind.
“Really?” Adair asks, “okay.” He sighs and makes his way to the back; picking up the bag of trash slumped against the wall and carrying it to the back door, grunting and groaning. He pushes the door open and steps into the dim alley backing the restaurant, shivering against the bitter November cold. He fumbles with the keys in his pocket until he finds the right one for the garbage. He hears a banging noise and spins around. There’s a man standing behind him, he stares at Adair with fearful eyes. His thin sweater pulled tightly around his frail body.
John’s story is told in a first-person view, which contributes to the insight of the mind of a sociopath. It’s one thing to see John’s decent into his own hell from a third-person view, you understand the feelings and emotions racing through his head well enough; it’s another thing entirely to live his decent, to see first-hand how much his obsession is killing him inside. For someone void of emotions, John pours his heart out within the pages of this book, and every moment of it is seen, heard, and felt. John gives a powerful statement about serial killers here, “People wanted the explanation to be as big and flashy as the killings themselves, but the truth was far more terrifying: true terror doesn't come from giant monsters but from small, innocent-looking people"
I couldn’t leave the only brother I ever had. Tears were streaming down my face. I had kept my composure all throughout this hellish event. But now, I couldn’t lose my brother. I was trying to rip the debris up to somehow form an exit for him. He grabbed my hand and gave me his badge and his lucky necklace. I screamed that I wasn’t leaving him. I was going to die with my brother. His exact words were, “Get out and take care of Shelly (his wife) and Kate(His daughter). Tell them Daddy loves them very much and will see them when they come to heaven. Rus, it has been a good run for me. I love you man. You were the best brother any man could have. Take care of my wife and daughter. Make sure she gets to college and marries a good man. Now go! You need to survive to take care of them and your kids!” Tears streaming down my face I told him he has a deal and took off running. I got to lobby of the building when the most horrific sound emerged from the ceiling. The building was coming down and I had seconds to exit if I was going to keep John’s promise. With his necklace and badge clutched in my fist, I sprinted to the door and as far as i could go.
“Is anyone there” said the woman looking to see if there was ,but all she saw was darkest. Then she turned around and saw a tall man about six-nine with a brown jacket and blue jeans, he seen to be poor. She runned as fast as a lion , but she had nowhere to run. Also he was to fast like he was a demon or something bad news.

Dinner Theatre Source Our hero continues to sit and watch the unfolding chaos, even sipping his drink like he is watching the mayhem on TV.
The street was eerily quiet as I crossed. So was Mike. Staring at me unwaveringly, he said nothing as I approached. The crow's feet framing his eyes, the ridges in his forehead, and the crinkles in his cheeks still stand out in my mind. How many nights had he lain on that bench, covering his face as the wind whipped against it? Now he hugged his body tightly. He was wearing an old pair of tan khakis, a shirt that I couldn't see clearly, and a light multi-colored jacket, its sleeves ending above his pale wrists, that was just slightly too small and clung to his body. As I gave him the money in my wallet, he took it--slowly--and stared at it for a second in disbelief. Although the street in front of the library is usually an amalgam of car horns, headlights, whining engines throughout the night, nothing--not
