Sarah Codache
My mom held my hands with the warmth that brought a sense of safety as we walked across the flared street on a breezy day. My sister, on the other hand, went far-off with headphones on. With wide, startled eyes, she aggressively operated her rectangular-shaped charcoal device. I wanted to run towards her, but I was afraid to be slapped in the face, so instead, I turned my attention to our neighborhoods' gardens, which held me captive. I observed our surroundings until I spotted a group of people burning a highly elastic solid substance, dark amber in color. I felt something wrong upon looking at the colored ash smokes that scattered all-encompassing its neighboring front yards.
The firm, distinctive smell of the gaseous products of burning materials smacked into my face. But before it happened, I was already preparing to walk with sturdiness to disregard the unease that I felt.
"What's wrong, Sarah?" My mom held my hands with wrinkled eyebrows, gazing at my darting eyes. I did not even notice that she was in front of me. My nerves were stimulating throughout my body until I began to shake. My mom gulped, calling my sister, who was having a video chat on her phone. On the flip side, she wasn't able to hear mom.
My mom panicked, but instead of forcing my sister to come, she shouted towards the people nearby, desperately asking for help. But, among the bunch of people staying outside, only a few responded to help.
"What should we do?"
"Call an ambulance!"
"No! She just needs some proper therapy."
Everyone was helping me to bring back my normal state. They did not know what exactly should they do, and so I am. I did not even understand what I felt. I tried to control it, but it was uncontrollable.
I started to shout out of my frustration. Their voices blended as they were looking for ways to control my temper. They were a few people holding my arms. One was hugging me tight from the back, and the rest handled my feet to stop moving vigorously.
I sighted some neighbors with a taut brow and a half-opened mouth, gradually moving away from us with mocking emotions. Some even got back to their homes and shut their windows.
Later on, a woman accidentally scratched my skin with her sharp nails. The unusual sensation brought by the wound triggered my consciousness. My eyes widened, and my body movements became more obdurate against them.
My mom fumed towards the woman. "Look, what have you done! My daughter's getting more violent!"
She tried to make me calm using her sympathetic arms, but my body quickly reacts against it, causing mom to get out of balanced. Her back touched the ground with a thud sound. People helped her to get back, but her spine refused. So they guided her towards the nearest public chair.
The people who helped me were so firm. Until such time, I felt a massive slap on my face. Everyone was stunned at the person who did that; it was my sister.
"What are you doing?! What do you want?" She shouted. Her face was angry as a lion with sturdy eye contact towards mine. Her eyes were also eating me alive.
With pale eyes greeting hers, I wondered.
Why is she shouting at me?
My body lacked muscle tension, and the arms and legs move freely and naturally moving with any motion. I felt relaxed once again.
My sister let out a deep sigh before grabbing my arms back to our home, leaving everyone who helped me speechless. I was surprised! My heart jumped in extreme happiness that finally, my sister was once again holding my arms, trying to interact with me.
I smiled, letting out my joyous pleasure.
She stopped for a while, and with a tilted head, lips biting her teeth, and a curved eyebrow, she murmured.
"Can you please stop making weird sounds?"
I laughed. I was pleased to get her attention. I did wish her to play with me, and now it slowly happened.
"What's funny?" She rolled her eyes and provokingly left. I was disappointed.
I looked outside the window and saw that it was raining. I went closer to it and opened the windowpane. I reached my hand outside until I felt the tiny drops of water pattering into my hands. My eyes sparkled as I looked closer to the droplet. I saw my reflection, and I felt so relieved. But suddenly, the droplet slowly faded away. My skin absorbed the water with tiny splashing sounds of white lines of waves traveling into my palm.
My body can feel the thrills, so I tried to get another droplet of rain to see a similar event again. Unfortunately, when I stretched out my hand, the rain stopped, and the aureate beam of sunlight shimmered.
I paused, thinking sincerely about what was happening. I gazed at the stunning environment I saw, especially the arctic sky. I can feel my eyes flickering. The rays of daylight did not bother my sight. Birds flying remained clear, and the small vapor of wind became vivid at any vicinity.
A strong cold wind hugged my entire mindfulness; it's bringing me the sensation of peace. I felt the breeze coming inside my nostrils as I closed my eyes due to that feeling. It was trying to lift me slowly.
I was in the middle of this strange experience when my mom called me out. Her voice was trembling.
I faced her. And as soon as she found me, she ran and hugged me.
She caressed my back. "I am so sorry that I wasn't able to follow you immediately..." Then mom made a space between us. Her eyes downcasted as she felt a heavy feeling in her heart.
I hugged her back as a response.
I was thankful that mom was there to protect me. She never leaves me alone and always does have her own ways to find me.
As we were hugging each other, my mind cannot forget the strange experienced I encountered recently. It was indeed something new, something that never underwent before.
I felt a splash of nature.
WakeLouchetteThere was a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere. The ground shook, and I felt the tension running over my entire body. Machines started to alarm. Everyone in this whole building felt no panic; the principles of applying safety precautions applied. All the people working in this research company were looking for ways to prevent laboratory types of equipment from falling, no matter the single debris that might fall between them. A few among the computers were activated manually, yet most of them were automatic machines with senso
Sarah CodachePlants were dancing as I passed through the aisle that leads some foot away towards the crystalline lake. An iridescent light shined in the land, passing through small openings uncovered by tall trees' leaves. A flock of birds was singing in chorus surrounding the whole forest, and children running with their parents chasing behind them, barefooted. Their clothes were far way different from the ones I used to see. Plus, their hairstyle was the same as a chignon.I stopped walking
WakeLouchetteAfter the encounter that happened in Prisila, media became vast, surrounding the prosperous place. Scientists were racing. They keep finding the epicenter of the earthquake and discovering the source of what has been said, the mysterious appearance of nature.Nature isn't new anymore but, the aftershock was unnatural. The unusual feeling of the wind. The odd, alluring fragrance of the air which source is still a question. The endangered birds emerged. Plus, the incredi
When we finally entered the room, a flawless face of a gorgeous woman in green captured my view. Her chignon hair-with multiple braids-matched the slightly curved of a deep shade of her chocolate brown eyebrows. Its black, blonde hair shimmered like a river in the moonlight. Her rosy pink lips were as glossy as silk clothing. These unique characteristics gave her a more substantial look but at the same time, a pleasant one."Who braided her?" Mrs. Codache sputtered, which brought me back to my entire consciousness. I blinked my eyes several times before listening to their conversation.
I can't help but keep staring consciously at the wound. I have a bunch of questions that kept roaming around my thoughts. At first glance, if this thing I've been experiencing was real, this could serve as my piece of research.However, I can't still totally believe it.I have been too much overwhelmed by the unexplainable things that happened before this. So I thought maybe I just need some rest?
I was in the typical office to prepare the papers needed for Sarah to discharge from the hospital. The ambiance was admittedly comfortable even though I did not know the people working right here.When all the requirements were on my arms, I promptly fixed anything on the table then left. All medical facilities were busy yet maintained to give a clean and antiseptic impression towards the patients. Doctors and other medical staff greeted me with an approachable facade while I was passing through the hallway. And, of course, I nodded as a form of greeting them back.
Sarah CodacheWe were finally at home right now. Mom hurriedly went up to my room to arrange my things while she left me in the Kitchen. I was here, eating sandwiches. It's my favorite food, and I was craving it!The sandwich gave pleasure to my stomach. The layering of half-cooked egg with ham and cheese! Ugh! So delicious!
Another man, stood a few steps beside mom, with jaw hanged-opened, exclaimed in extreme surprise. He was also wearing the same clothes as those who were working near the fire truck with him."But the water limit already exceeded!""I know! I know!" A man with the same suite ran towards the fire truck to check if there were still waters in. He climbed as fast as he could towards the hole of the fire truck's receptacle where the water was stored.
