Isolation

CHAPTER 2-- I lay in bed. Awake. Possibly pondering the meaning of life. Or listening to Dad’s exasperating rant about firing his secretary. I could hear just a bit of what seemed like Emeline agreeing with my dad, telling him ridiculous ways to fire that poor woman. I just can’t blame my mom. If this is what she had to deal with every day, she is one strong and tolerating woman. At this point, it is so tempting to stomp down the stairs and scream at the top of my lungs to tell them to stop. It is possible, but not without a proper month of grounding and consequences I’d prefer not to face. Instead, I take advantage of my daily insomnia and decide to take a shower as I have been awake for hours and it is four in the morning. I sleepily glide towards the bathroom. As I reach for the bottle of soap to wash my unkempt hair, I glance at the red lipsticks my mother use to use in the cabinets next to the mirror in the bathroom. I miss my mom so much. Ever since she left, sick & tired...

The Struggle: Chapter One

-
        "Maaaa...why do I even have to wear this? I feel like a simple shirt and pant is fine." said an uncomfortable Eleanor. "Ellie, this is the 10th time you've complained... and that too in just one morning! You know that girls have to wear skirts and dresses. Pantsuits are for men." her mom said, reluctantly, but eventually blurted out. "Ah, mom," Eleanor said, without even taking her mother's advice into regard, "I don't believe in this gender stuff--AUGH!!" Eleanor screamed as her mother zipped up the tightest dress that she could ever imagine and stuffed the smallest pumps onto her poor toes. "Sorry." her mother said, with a quick smile. "I can't even imagine what the work day will be like ahead.." Eleanor sighed. "Guess I'll have to find out!" Eleanor exclaimed as she walked out the door and almost slipped in her uncomfortable pumps.          "Bye, Mama! Love you!" Eleanor sa...

The Warm Summer Night...Sequel!!

-
"Bella...come here..." the creepy voice was coming from the odd wind's direction. Bella was instantly attracted to the wind and she was slowly walking towards it, which was odd because nobody walks toward it, they run away. Her mom was watching from the window and her dog, Rover, started viciously growling at the wind. Her mom suddenly frowned and she ran to the door. "Bella.....good girl..." the wind said cheerily. "Bella!!! Don't you dare walk towards that wind!!" her mom was screaming at the top of her lungs whilst choking on the strong wind. It was as if Bella was lost in another world. She was walking like a robot to the wind. She dropped her dog biscuits right in front of Rover's face. Rover was too busy to rip open the Ziploc with his strong teeth and secretly eat the treats as he was ready to pounce at the wind to protect his dear owner. Her mom kept screaming, and the wind kept telling her to "come to me", and "don't...

The Warm Summer Night

-
Bella walked out to her front porch with her dog. "Let's go, Rover! It's time for your walk," she exclaimed. Rover immediately came out and brushed his warm, furry head against her leg. "Wait, Bella!" her mom called, "Take these homemade treats I made for Rover a few hours ago. It's a new batch." Bella took the bag from her mom and set out toward the brown hills in front of her house. It was a windy day. She could smell the honey-sweet air as her hair brushed over her face. She walked up the brown hill. Bella was sitting on the ground, watching Rover run around when the wind's strength picked up, nearly like a hurricane. Then Bella saw something on the top of the hill. She squinted as she couldn't see through leaves falling on her eyes. On the top of the hill, Bella saw wind whirling in circles...

A woman with no boundaries: Who is She?

-
A woman with no boundaries... who is this woman? Who breaks the glass ceiling much like a man. This woman was not known for her work...she is a woman known for her strength. She was strong, daring, smart, and "one in a million." She is known in many history books. Born a peasant girl in a village in France, she was a visionary. She first saw visions of gods and saints saying that she should live a good and modest life. Then, she saw these visions more often. These visions were about the English coming to destroy her village. She ran away with her family and neighbors. Then the visions told her to work for the French dauphin (prince to soon become king). She came to the French court after more than 300 miles of walking and immediately recognized the dauphin (who was disguised). She soon became the first French female army general. A few years later...she was trialed for heresy and wearing men's clothes. The judges finally decided to burn her. Her last words were, "I...
