  1. when someone surprises you. if something/someone took you by surprise, it would startle you. say an animal pounced on you without notice. you would be startled. to recieve a text from a ‘friend’ telling you to get away from a lad because they have been best friends for 10 years would startle you. it did me. last night i was at this lads house, and our friend text me threatening me. not cool man.

  5. I’m not startled enough these days. My routine seems to go from breakfast to bed without any interruption in what I already know will happen. Until yesterday. One of my employs said I was forgetting so much that I must be either dissociating or have a brain tumor.

  9. A bird from her perch raises her head, questioning the cruel world with innocent eyes. She is a yellow bird, with remarkable blue eyes, and a gentle beak, sloping against your fingers. Her eyes glimmer as your fist closes…

  12. i woke up to a loud banging noise coming from the room upstairs. I wasn’t sure what the sound was, but from the nature of it, I knew that it was not the time to intervene. There seemed to be shouts coming from my suitemate’s room as well. That certainly shocked me! The two who lived there usualy got along splendidly!

  21. The door slamming startled me as I thought about all I had lost. How could I be so stupid to say those things, how was I going to get him back? Wait, I whispered to the door, wait, but he was gone, for now, possibly forever.

  22. Swinging the sock high above my head, I can feel the dead weight inside of it accelerate. As I release I have no idea if I have succeeded. The arc flies high and wild, off into the distance. The birds rush away, startled, and I smile.

  26. She was startled as she pulled into the driveway. Why was his car here? What did he think he was doing. Hadn’t she made herself clear? She hesitated behind the wheel. She found herself pretending to look for things in the car, all thew while staring at the house, looking for signs of movementwithin. She should have made him leave his keys, she knew that now. She pulled her own out of the ingntion and got out of the car and headed to the house. As she opened the door, he seemed startled to see her there, as if he had been caught doing something he wasn’t supposed to be doing. He was.

  27. Uncontrollable running, bad idea.
    Results in lack of conciousness and a poor selfesteem, after waking up mugged and sadisticly abused.

    Yet in a few years this will mearly be a surpressed memory, haunting you only when hearing the word;

    Cowbell.

  28. when i got out of the car, i was startled when i saw the house on fire. I couldn’t believe my eyes, so i got closer, for a better look, and it was blazing. it scared me, because i have never seen an actual fire, except for on tv of course, so i called 911 and got back in the car.

  29. You never knew what startled meant until you lived through a circus. I hated the circus. It’s sticky sweet allure was not enough for me, though my parents loved it well. But they always did love a show didn’t they. That’s the day I found out what a clown was, and what it meant to have true fear.

  33. don’t write just think so that’s what i’ll do when i become startled there is a primitive impulse like a snake in the brush alerting me to move and so i sit here so removed from everything and i cannot be startled by anything except the truly oh fuck can’t recall the word but thinking about grendel for some reason?

  36. I was startled. He was startled. We didn’t expect to feel like this. One and a half years. And now this. Where do we go? What do we do? Can we fix it or do we just give up?

  37. Startled. he jumped, fast, trying to run away from the owls in the forest, who were attempting to chase him. His eyes were big and looked so scared, his breathing far to fast. It wasn’t good for him and the heartattack as he ran pretty much killed him.

  38. she was startled by the sight of the face at the window. when she stopped to breathe, the whole world came rushing out of her mouth at once. It was like an ocean, and it wouldn’t stop… she tried, but it just went on and on.
