It was quite difficult for him to understand the reasons why he chose to live. At first, his reasons were quite altruistic: he lived for other people. As his life progressed, so too did his values. After people it became money, after money it became power, and after power was his present position. What motivated him now had to be the most cryptic of all, considering what it had willed him to do only a few days prior. Although he wasn’t menial enough to concern himself with the lowest forms of cash flow, Cecil had taken it upon himself to visit those who occupied the bottom of the hierarchy, to ensure that all was going according to his expectations. To his surprise, the small organization had been under careful watch, for what he could only …show more content…
They had asked why he was here, to which he could only shrug. They asked him to confirm his identity, and he had instructed them to check the wallet they had confiscated from him. As the whole situation seemed highly suspicious to the police, they had also asked him what he was up to, to which he could only reply sweetly that it was nothing at all. The interrogation had been strenuous to say the least, and quite irksome at most, but at the very least, Cecil couldn’t say that he was bored. Until of course, they left him alone in the cell. It was at the end of the final day, after two days of deliberation the police had come in with news. Cecil had expected it was finally the verdict on his punishment, yet it certainly wasn’t what he expected. “If you truly had no alternative reasons for being here, perhaps you could be of use to …show more content…
In exchange for offering his intelligence up to the police, he would avoid the charges placed against him. As they had made it quite clear that they couldn’t trust him alone, Cecil had been assigned a partner to ensure that he wouldn’t misbehave. Although it wasn’t a completely ideal arrangement, he had at the very least, worked to escape the boredom which drove him. They had released him on the third day, the day in which he would meet his new partner. The formalities outside of his cell hadn’t lasted long, as the officer who was in charge of his interrogation had simply remarked that they wouldn’t hesitate to kill him if he acted up, and Cecil couldn’t help but laugh at the officer’s frankness. The police were an interesting group of people, and he could say that with confidence at least. Another officer had instructed him to the room in which he would meet his new partner, on the second floor and the room to his immediate left. Dutifully following directions, Cecil made his way up the stairs. Pausing for a moment in front of the assigned door, Cecil could only imagine what sort of life lay in front of him. Knocking on the door, however, he was quite sure that he would never find out unless he pressed forward. As the door knock had only been a formality, Cecil had promptly let himself into the small office room. Exchanging glances with the only other man in the room, a warm smile had appeared on the blond’s
At dawn, her father has fished through the girl’s pocket for the key to the secret cupboard. He took it and went to talk to the policeman... He explained the situation. He was trying to remain calm, the girl could tell, but he was at his breaking point. He had to go and get his four-year-old son, he told the man, He would return here, he promised… The father urged the man to come with him, to accompany him, he was just going to get the boy and come back, immediately. The policeman ordered him out of the way. (45)
“You knew all along, didn’t you?” Detective Licht gritted his teeth at him and flipped open the file of John Greenfield’s case. “You already pieced the puzzle together and figured it was the wife that killed him. What the hell is wrong with you?!” The bulging veins on the detective’s neck didn’t scare Detective Schatten one bit. Instead, the man sat back in his chair and relaxed.
This moment was a defining point for Cecil’s life. Instead of all the horrible things that could have been done to Cecil, he is offered a job to pay for the damages he caused. The teachings of that old widow certainly came in handy. The other servant even teaches Cecil to mix drinks and become a better server. The older servant also gives him a wonderful opportunity, to work for one of the larger hotels in Washington D.C. for very wealthy
He lowered his gaze to take a long, lingering look at the cleavage which he guessed Analise had deliberately revealed, and placed his free hand over the top of hers, to stop it from plucking the weapon from his fingers. "The Police, and possibly the FBI, are already searching for me, Ms Helm. I've murdered three times. What makes you think a fourth would provide them with any more evidence than they have now?" His focus left her breasts, and returned to her face. A smirk played across his lips. "I'm getting better at this, not worse. As for the patrolman, night is an eternity away. By the time he's due, you'd either be bound and gagged in my trunk, or naked, bleeding and begging for mercy in some dark, cold, lonely place where no-one could hear your screams. If there's one thing I've learned from our chats, it's that I enjoy the chase. The battle of wits and competition has been more stimulating than I could ever have imagined, and all that attention you received on the evening news made me a little jealous. I crave my own. Not that you'd get the pleasure of seeing them capture me anyway, you'd be dead". The man shrugged, and gently pried her fingers loose of the grip they held on his gun hand, so that he could raise the weapon and touch it to her
The world continued on around Pete Norris, but he was only subliminally aware of the other customers, scraping of chairs, quiet conversations, and wait-staff buzzing around him; just enough to be be able to perceive any danger if it should approach. He'd purchased a newspaper at the counter, and perused it and maintained one eye on the apartment complex. A gang-shooting in the city, and a rape/murder in the corner of the State. Pete smiled and shook his head in contempt when he read that the perpetrator had been captured within twenty-four hours of the crime.
Chad Walker strolled into the police station, humming a happy tune through his thin lips. He flashed his badge to Carol, the kindhearted secretary, and walked to the interrogation level, brown eyes sparkling with intent.
“What are we doing here again?” The red head asked, in his thick Scottish accent, taking another drag form his cigarette, sitting on the nice bench across from the gates. The blonde had been pacing back and forth, in front of them for was seemed like 20 minutes. For the last three days he woke up came to these gates with his childhood friend and would try to talk himself into some how contacting Feliciano. Allistor would always come without much fuss, needed to get away from him normal life of pick pocketing, but after three days he was getting bored “These are the worst kind of people why are we hanging around their Estates when they will probably have us arrested for loitering”
The death of a loved one is one of the most challenging events I have had to overcome. The summer of 2014, I was just going into my junior year, was one for the books. It was an absolutely amazing summer. My sister had her first baby in May and we were getting to make his first summer his best, but little did we know it would also be his last. We lost him at the end of July. It was one of the hardest things to cope with. So many unanswered questions still to this day stand.
As a child, I knew nothing about loss. The closest think I had known about loss would be my dog dying a few years before. I was devastated and I cried forever, but it was nothing compared to when my brother died. The loss of my brother to suicide taught me more about life than I would have thought. I learned that death is different from when I was a kid than it is now, also how I cope with it and relearn about death each year that passes by.
He found it odd… after what he had done, how he had done it. He expected to go to the penitentiary or to be sentenced to at least house arrest but no, he had been sent to work. He supposed this was worse than the slammer in a way- isolation, no human contact for the whole winter. Perhaps he would get seasonal affective disorder, after all he wouldn’t be seeing the sun for a whole two months. They told him that they were trying out new disciplinary actions. He didn’t buy that for a second. Funny to think that only three months ago he began his sophomore year in college, engineering major, being looked at by every major basketball team from here to Saint Louis. But that's gone now. He figured he might as well forget about his past life, the accident changed it all. “Why not try to enjoy this sentence of pure insanity?” They had known full well that he wasn’t right in the head after the fall that ended his basketball career. That’s why he did what he did! He had wondered since that day what sinister
I was relieved that i was still alive but when i got into the house i just acted completely normal like there wasn't a red car trying to kill me. I sat in the main room just on the carpet but when the family first laid their eyes on me they got up and grabbed the cage that they transport me in. They were going to bring me to that place where they poked me. I really didn't want to go and i wasn't in the mood since i was almost run over so i ran. I ran as fast as i could around the house hoping that they wouldn't take me and they would rethink their decision. Apparently they were not going to budge because they kept chasing me all around the house. After a long time of me struggling i finally submitted and just let them take me to that horrid place. They put
Overall, the article was very educational in regarding the meaning and factors why a person wishes to die. Some of the meanings and factors of the wish to die statements are to spare others from the burden of oneself, to preserve self-determination, to let death put an end to severe suffering, and allow a life-ending process to take its course. However, I would have like the study to explored more individuals with other terminally illnesses such as Alzheimer Disease, Parkinson Disease, or maybe AIDS. This article has influenced me to prepare a living will so my medical requests are carried out. Also, I would use this article as a reference point to help me empathize with terminal ill patients when I become a social
“While interviewing to a potential witness that turned out to be the unsub, Dr. Reid was taken prisoner.” Four sets of eyes snapped towards her in surprise. Garcia shifted to lean on Reid’s desk but kept a hand on Black’s shoulder. Emily took a deep breath of her own before continuing. It was a struggle to maintain the neutrality of her voice. “He was held for forty-two hours and twenty-six minutes. The first twenty-eight hours were without contact of any sort. After that point, there were video and audio feeds sent directly to us, periodic at first before appearing to be forgotten about and left open. The unsub forced Dr. Reid to choose his next target from a pool of potentials.” She steeled herself in order to communicate the next part just as neutrally as she had the
“I want to die.” Sixth grade wasn’t exactly a fun year for me. I wasn’t popular, still not but that doesn’t matter at this point. I wasn’t exactly the most attractive person, and my personality did not make up for that. I had a small group of friends, and they’re all good people, but one day we had a falling out. I was the one that sparked the argument so naturally the blame went to me. I was left with only one friend by the end of the day. “I want to die.” I cried into the pillow over and over as my Mom begged me to talk to her. I know this was a stupid thing to use my “do over” on; why not take back the thing I said to start the fall out? It’s because I don’t regret how it ended. That one friend that stayed with me is still my best friend
Since I started working in the medical field, I always have a passion taking care of elderly. I often find myself being emotionally attached with my geriatric patients. Throughout the time that I am caring for my patients, I noticed that family dynamic, financial problems, insurance coverage, age, chronic illness and sudden death are some of the reasons why patients died in the hospital rather than at their preferences. When there is family dynamic, patient suffers the most because everyone wants to be the decision makers and they often override what the patient’s wishes especially dying comfortable and pain free. According to CDC, from 2000 to 2010, the average patients that died in the hospital is the age between 72-73 years. Then on 2010, 27% died in the hospitals are patient over the age of 85 years old.
