Tears for Fears

Three slender fingers held onto to the string she'd pulled back, all the tension focused in her back and shoulder as she brought the string back to the side of her mouth. The arrow pointed at the target and with a soft breath out she let it fly. A sly smile crossed her lips as the arrow hit the target with a satisfying thud. There was a theraphy to archery. Something about pulling the arrow back and letting go, it was like the problems inside you left with the arrow. Concentration was also key…

Interstitial Keratitis, or its abbreviation “IK” for many ophthalmologists, is an inflammation of the cornea. “Keratitis” is the term for inflammation of the cornea, while “interstitial” refers to the area between cells. In this case, it refers to the stroma—the area between the epithelium and endothelium of the cornea. Other names include “nonulcerative keratitis”, which describes the inflammation as not breaking through the epithelial layer of the cornea via sores, “syphilitic keratitis,”…

Ten: Bedlam in Berlin The silence in the basement was disrupted by air raid sirens which roared out in the distance. Anna gritted her teeth and rehearsed acting brave and Willy sat still, not wanting to move. They could hear the deafening bombs being dropped from planes overhead and carpeting the city. The air in the basement became thick, and they, both began to cough and gasp for air. Miss Margot and Miss Muller rushed into the tiny room and frantically handed them their shoes and shouted, "We…

"M-milor-" "FUCKING KILL THE DEMON! DID YOU NOT HEAR ME?" Sebastion yelled at the maid. With tears in her eyes, the young girl quickly nodded and ran away. After half an hour, the hunting hounds were chewing on something small, pink and fleshy. Ripping it to shreds in a matter of seconds. It was not even identifiable after the first few times it…

Lying on my bedroom floor, I cried. It wasn’t one of those angry cries or stress cries, it was a cry that highlighted the hurt and pain that consumed me. I couldn’t comprehend what I did to deserve any of it, so I just cried. No one could hear me. Earlier that day in 2012, I woke up to my regular, everyday routine. From the kitchen, my mom yelled, “Wake up! It’s time to get ready for school!” Grumbling, I got out of my bed and started getting ready. It was a lovely spring morning, and I was…

I have dealt with My ‘glum Mum.’ Why is My Mum glum?* My Mum has clear droplets of water shaped like tearssliding down both cheeks from the inside corners of both eyes. Something here is not quite right and I screw my face up in concentration. Tears mean someone is sad, sad is worse than glum. People do not usually cry when they are glum, apart from my uncle Roger who ‘suffered from depression’ and cried sixteen times in all of the times…

Infants have to go through many painful procedures such as immunization, blood collecting, circumcision and etc. Back in the day, people believed that infants can’t feel pain like adults but many recent studies found that infants can actually feel pain like adults. An fMRI study found that the infants and the adults’ brain light up very similarly when they were being poked in the foot with Pinprick Stimulators. The research also found that infants have lower threshold than adults (Harley,…

him dizzy and faint. However, he only sees mess blood and red meat loaf on the ground. He widens his eyes, the eyeballs almost fall out. He stares, stares, and stares at his dog, the pulpy meat on the ground. Tears fall down to the ground directly without touching his face, just several tears. He cannot believe that, never. “This must be a dream,” he smiles and no longer moves. He dries up, dries up his whole body. “He smiled!” a little girl says to her friends several days later. “He was so…

Little Raye of Sunshine Raye was not what I expected. She had long brown hair that was loose and wild and big brown eyes filled with hatred. Her pale, thin lips curved up and away from her nose. I think she was trying to smile, but it looked more like a grimace. Raye could not be more than eight years old yet she smelled like trouble. I cringed. This was going to be the worst babysitting job ever. Ray looked at me challengingly. I stared at the ground. Her gaze was terrifying. I have never…
