  1. I am so totally alarmed. Alarmed is the state of
    Being in alarm. Being
    Alarmed would be a proper reaction to someone you don’t know walking
    Into your home randomly. Especially someone you don’t know. I would be alarmed, would you be alarmed? I would be. Totally and completely alarmed. It would be alarming how alarmed I would be

  3. alarming magnet cheek secretariat, a raceway lined with specters and hound dogs from the other place, sharp eyed locusts zipping shadows on the soda trays, salesman and butchers all in a row, cheering, leering, steering the race towards their ends.

  4. It was his smile that set me off. I guess it wasn’t really a smile, more of smirk. The curvature of it mixed with his eyes. Alarming me- of his past. Of his present. Of him.

  5. Everything about her was alarming. Her eyes, her hair, her face in general. It just screamed alarming. So people ran from her. She never had any close friends, not that she wanted any. She was better off alone anyway, at least that’s what she told her mom who was constantly asking, “Why don’t any of your friends come over?” “I don’t have any mom!”

  6. scared. waking up. realization. loud. flashing lights. red. noises. close call. heart beating. thumping.

  7. I’ll never forget the most alarming thing I’ve ever witnessed; a little girl on a scooter being hit by a car going 45 miles per hour. The little girl flew threw the air and crashed to the ground, dying instantly. I remember her lifeless body and the overwhelming sadness I felt at watching such a beautiful, young girl die.

  8. The day is coming soon, and I see that my son’s purple skin collapsing on itself, layer by layer. I think of his future, and the life he could have had if it weren’t for me. If it weren’t for my selfish misdeed to fix what needn’t be fixed. He is just a shy boy seconds shy away from death, and I cannot do anything about it. I can sit, but what good is sitting when your future has already passed on.

  9. The fire alarm is alarming when it wakes you up and you think there’s a fire. Also, people can alarm you with their actions and words too – especially when their behaviour is unexpected.

  10. Red. Fire. rushing over the huts and spilling past the men as they tried to pull their families out of the chaos. He was to bring peace. bring the end. bring a finality to all this mindless pain. but like all stories, he was a lie. His was to turn the world on its head and breath chaos into into bones.

  11. There is nothing so alarming on what is happening right now.
    Everything seems so ordinary.
    Nothing is changing.
    We are all wrong.
    The earth is moving. The land is moving. The oceans are moving.
    What are we saying that nothing is happening.
    Global warming on the move.
    Civil wars here and there.
    Oppression, depression….
    And we say nothing is alarming.

  12. the fire drill sound was very alarming

  13. The state of our society’s emphasis on aesthetics is alarming. The importance of intellect and class has abruptly taken a back seat to beauty and appearance.

  14. Alarming, alarming
    with red, lights flashing
    Alarming, alarming
    with loud shrieks sounding

    Oh, the alarm goes
    Panic in Red
    and Vision Black
    we all go down
    in a dead faint

  15. Alarming… that was the word she was looking for.

    It was rather alarming to be staring at one’s sister-in-law and one’s brother kissing as if he was going to war in a few minutes.

    Not that Lija wanted to be stuck in a broom closet at this particular moment, staring at Susun and Jerej as they kissed. In fact, she’d rather be anywhere BUT here.

    But… leaving the broom closet at this particular time would advertise the fact that she’d been in there for a reason… and as that reason was not flattering to her reputation, she didn’t wish to advertise it.

  16. the shriek was alarming, powerful and high-pitched, that traveled through the caverns in which she was being held. No time for survivors, I think.

  17. I hate my alarm. That harsh awful beeping sound in the morning, or rather any time, causes me to jump any time I hear a timer or alarm or whatever go off. Absolutely horrible.

  18. The sun peeks out from behind the valley hillside, and I’m alarmed at the beauty–at the connection it makes to my life. People have never stayed in my life easily, but the ones who do–they’re special, they’re genuine, they’re selfless people who’ve had shit thrown at them without a helping hand. And those are the people I admire most in life, those are the people that are quite like an orange sunrise–surprising, beautiful, and never expected.

  19. looking people in the eye
    blood and weapons, knives
    killers, clowns, empty roads
    roller coasters, guys
    running out of things to say
    eating lunch alone
    and most of all realizing
    that I’m nothing if not scared

    but that’s not so alarming

  20. Fire alarm leaving school for the drill everybody is wayy too chill if the fire was real, we’d all be dead and yet they keep on nodding their heads to the superficial beat

  21. His face was alarming. Not because it was ugly by any means, no it was kind and starkly beautiful. More beautiful than he had expected. He finds himself falling in love with this face immediately. And that is what was so alarming about it… because this guy’s personality was nothing to fall in love with. Hell he didn’t even like guys.

  22. there once was a prince named charming
    whose jokes were really alarming:
    in public quite gracious
    but in private, salacious
    especially the one about farming.

  23. The blue baby boy cries, like red flesh from the salt wounds his mother has taken on. They become the color in her face, and the color of the baby. He is no longer blue. He is flesh red and crying like the glass that breaks him open.

  30. Alarming. Yes. That’s how I would describe it. It was truly alarming how she just came bursting out of the door, screaming. She was like a little girl who didn’t get her Barbie. I didn’t say anything, though, I was still curious as to what was going on.

  31. kaworu-kun, he breathes out when he feels the other boy closing in on him, and shinji always imagined kaworu to be a gentle kisser. in his dreams, kaworu is always slow and careful and attentive, but there’s a desperate and resolute hardness in the way their lips are pressed together now. shinji grips the other boy’s shoulders to tie himself to earth while his mind goes skyrocketting.

  32. people get alarmed by the clock that is reaching at the opposite side of the room. they hope that clock doesn’t signify the terrible day they will have, but the day that’s filled with laughter and smiles. they hope it shows them beauty in the new day.

  37. So alarming
    A disarmament of an army
    My heart starting and stopping
    When you call to me
    Darkening
    The light lacking life
    Your wrists reflected clearly in the blade of the knife

  38. alarming you say? what alarming is my condition right now. i’m sick. im sweating, my palms are flooded with sweat, and i just feel really really tired, and everything is so damn hot. my state is recovering (i think) because the medicine that my mother gave me.

  39. It was alarming in the most basic of ways. She had been wonderful. WE had been wonderful. And then she was gone and my world went with her and now she was back and I…I didn’t know what to do. I barely remembered how to breathe.
    “Hi.”
    I didn’t know what to say. How could I just say hi? How could she? How could she pretend like…like it didn’t matter? Like none of it had ever mattered.

  40. oh no! WHat should I do! THe only thing I can think about are exclamation marks… but now I need to think of fire alarms and emergencies. I can hear the sirens in the backgrounds- piercing my ears with alarm. But what now?
