Rudeness: A Fictional Narrative

Improved Essays
"It doesn't matter who number five is. I won't be letting you hurt them," Iridian said confidently, as he began texting someone. Texting at the dinner table? How rude. "You don't know the first thing about kindness, about love," Ilya whispered, getting up and walking closer to me. I raised my eyebrow slightly, curious as to what he was going to do next, as he continued, "and I feel sorry for you, you sadistic f---." Then, Iridian punched me square in the face, hitting my nose.

It would be an understatement to say I was merely shocked by his sudden action, I was bewildered. I doubled over, cupping my nose with one of my hands. It didn't help much, if at all, as blood seeped through my hand, and dripped out onto the table and floor. I shut

    Gawking at the vehicle that now lay on the floor at my feet, I bent over slowly and carefully lifted it off of the ground. Nothing, not a scratch was present. NOTHING HAPPENED! Trying to speak, to say anything at all, I managed to stammer “Oh my good Lord that was a close one.” Then I noticed the room had gone silent.…

    Lloyd never realized how minimalistic the four of them had until he started packing, each of them only had three outfits, they had no true running water with all the water in the house being supplied by water crystals, by extension, that also meant that they didn’t have hot water in the house, only the two fireplaces and wood burning stove could be used to heat their cadin, their beds were made of straw, pillows of feathers, tools of wood, shoes of braided grass, they eat the food that they grew themselves.

Definitely not an easy life, but it a fulfilling one. Yet, Lloyd was leaving this bountiful,…

    Many people experience rudeness, meanness, and bullying throughout their whole lives, but few people know the difference between the three. They’re similar in many ways, and different is many ways as well. For example, if someone closes the door in front of you on accident, it wouldn't be mean, because they didn't intend to be mean, it would be rude. Being rude means that someone might say or do something hurtful, but did not intend for it to hurt the person. When Emma Grace told Caroline's secret, she didn't mean to hurt Caroline's feelings, but she did.…

    Sitting in the barn, I began to reminisce of my life prior to living in this village; a time when I lived with my parents near a stream, of which I can’t recall the official name. I was referred to as a socialite, as I enjoyed getting to know strangers in order to understand them and befriend them, and I used to pride myself on my judge of character, which I believed to be “top notch”, if you will, and my wanting to aid those in need. In the twilight of one winter morning, similar to that of today, however winter was in its more primitive phase, I decided to take a stroll in hopes of clearing my head before the day of work began. I noticed a man of seemingly low morale lying motionless near the stream, just staring at his reflection in the…

I remember the day as if it was yesterday, despite the fact that it took place almost nine years ago.…
