pattern
I feel sorry for people whose biggest accomplishment post-high school is hooking up with people who are still in high school and 19, and who brag about doing a basic job that anyone with a middle school education could do. And then they have a pattern of bragging about how much everyone loves them and wants to hook up with them. Sorry but this is a sign of low self-esteem. And perhaps my writing also sounds like low self-esteem but quite honestly I just feel sorry for them and the extraordinarily low standards they have set for themselves. I have found a model for what I don’t want to become.

brunch
I can barely keep brunch down, I’m so nervous. Each day this week I’ve worked and perfected what I’m doing, but with each day I get increasingly more scared of failure. But the closer it gets to time to go, the better I feel. I’m ready to do this.

trunk
Put your secrets in the trunk and lets leave town Because I think we could use a brand new start

The orchestra played a beautiful song The dancers danced and danced along

alarmist
“I don’t want to be an alarmist…” “But you’re gonna say something alarming?” “Yes, Masha never reported in last night, it could just be taking longer than expected but we also have to worry about…” “Capture.” Riley said grimly.

combination
Loathing is a combination of disgust and hate. A powerful combination, one that doesn’t just disappear as time passes by.

profound
I know she lied, she always lies “Oh, well what a profound thought. The queen of lies, lying.” He drawled sarcastically.

passionate
How does one become passionate about something? What triggers an intense dedication to something? The line between passionate and apathetic is a narrower one than a person might think. You will reach a point where you either have an excess of caring or none at all. And isn’t that a scary thought?

shootout
I packed all my supplies in the smallest bag I could find and threw it over my shoulder. Tonight was the last time, everything ended here. It was going to be a shootout, that much was true, but I had good faith that I would win.

bars
The bars of this prison won’t hold him for long. He’s too slick, too clever. Even if the police managed to catch him a million times he would always escape. Not like that was a real possibility. This was the first time he had ever been caught and it would likely be the last.

existence
I no longer acknowledge your existence. You mean nothing to me. We’re simply strangers that know each other very well. Strangers who have buried their problems underneath a fake smile. Buried them deep down where they breed more negative feelings; hostility, hatred, no worse than hatred, loathing. A strong bitter loathing that is both satisfying in it’s intensity and draining in it’s energy.

ant
Together we’ll break them down Together we’ll take them on Together we’ll win this war Because a million ants united is more powerful than before.

division
Go ahead and blindly follow their power. It makes me sick the way you just accept what they say. Can’t anyone see that they are the liars, false teachers, racists, sexists, egotistic ones. Of course not, the only thing anyone every sees is their supposed power. They don’t want a division.

pepper
The pepper spray hung from her hand, quite useless in this situation. I suppose that was to be expected when you were fighting something that wasn’t really there. The ghost moved silently around her, maybe since she couldn’t hurt it, it couldn’t hurt her, but still, it was unsettling.

bow
“That was quite an impressive display. Really you ought to consider making a career change. Go on, take a bow.” “you don’t believe me. Unbelievable I knew you wouldn’t! Fine go ahead and pretend like everythings okay then. See if I care.” She stormed angrily out of the room.

wonder
I wonder what would happen if we just ran away. No regrets, no thinking, no planning, just running. I wonder what would become of us. Who will remember the two kids that ran away.

radio
The radio never played any good songs these days, he thought as he shut it off with a flick of his wrist. He really needed to remember his iPod next time he went for a trip across the country. Though he honestly hoped he would never have to under these circumstances again.

montage
The montage of them together played in his mind. Was this really going to be the last time he saw her? Was it really going to be the last breath they took? He struggled to turn his aching neck and saw her sitting up and staring at their kidnapper. The steely resolve in her eyes told him it wasn’t going to be their last breath, at least not yet.

remember
“Remember that time we…” Crash! “Crap, somebody grab a gun and make sure Annie’s okay.” Just then two people in black suits crashed through their door.

despair
He screamed out in despair only to be greeted by his own echo. The dark room filled with silence once the door slammed shut. The darkness was so thick the room seemed to become something real and alive. He was now convinced that taking away your senses was one of the worst forms of punishment possible.

booth
Stepping out of the dimly lit booth was the guy they had been following. The man walked out of the cafe making meaningful eye contact with the federal agents he knew were following him. They two agents moved together to follow him pulling handguns out as they walked.

mole
She knew why he was here. They all did. It was a joke that they all pretended not to know. He was a mole, a spy for the other corporation. Yet they all acted naive and trusting. Poor guy thought he was actually getting real information.

curious
“Why are you so curious anyway?” “What? I can’t want to know more information about people I see everyday?” “I just think it’s more than a little odd that you ask me that now. I think you already know that answer to your little question.”

forgotten
The forgotten shopping cart sat on the corner of 54th and Pleasant. Of course the street was ironically named, there was nothing pleasant about it. The only buildings on the street were abandoned. The glass broken out of the windows, the doors chained up, graffiti covering the walls.

eyeliner
She put down the eyeliner finally satisfied with her appearance. She sighed out loud, this was going to be a frustrating night. She thought back to last time, the same faked smile, faked interest in what he had to say. She laughed out loud to herself in humorless fashion. Her life had turned into a nightmare.

puzzled
The waves crashed on shore, and the wind whipped her hair all around her. The lack of noise however puzzled her. She should be able to hear kids playing, people talking, the random girl screaming as she got in the water.

foreign
The sun hit her face and burned at her delicate skin. The warmth of the outside was foreign to her. She had been locked in that cell for years; hour after hour. She breathed in the humid air and smiled, freedom…finally.

whiskey
The smell of alcohol overwhelmed her senses. The stupid waiter had spilt the whiskey all over the floor and table. She wanted to leave but she couldn’t until she met who she came her for. She looked over her shoulder hoping to see him.

luxurious
The soft silky sheets, were easily the most luxurious thing she had ever slept on. Maybe being here wasn’t as bad as she thought it would be. Maybe it would get better. After all she had every thing anybody could ever want. So what if she had to play pretend like a good girl around company she still had Dexter.
