The Fight for Cookies

“Put the gun down!” the cop announced, aiming his flashy gun at me. “Or at least give me the bag,” he whined.
“Nooo way! Why should a robber share?” I screamed.
The chubby, short law enforcer then pointed his gun at me and pulled the trigger.
“Whoa!” I sputtered, as I felt my hairs on my head shift with the bullet he shot. I dove behind a chair and let bullets loose on him.
The sheriff came inching closer, shooting here and there, getting nearer and nearer by the second. His eyes were focused on one thing: the see-through plastic bag lying on the ground.
How did it get there? I must have dropped it! Looking from the bag of treasure to the person who could kill me, I decided to offer my life for the bag of treasure. With that, I leaped for the bag, barely dodging the officer’s shots. Lying down on my side, I reached for the prize, almost grabbing it, when boom! A bullet hit my chest. …show more content…

. . ,” I choked weakly, “just when I had them too.” Bit by bit, I slowly closed my eyes.
A small figure holding a Nerf gun and wearing a police cap came near with an enormous grin and towered over me. “I win!” he declared triumphantly, holding his gun in the air. The boy then reached down and seized the treasure bag full of cookies from my limp hand. The cop started to stroll away, but then turned back to look at me and asked “Do you want a cookie, too, Jimmy?”
I opened my eyes to glance at my little brother and let out a small, “Yes.”
After retrieving me from the dead, the two of us sat behind the couch and munched on our treats in our cop and robber onesies, until our common enemy came upon us.
“Boys, time for bed!”
We dropped our wafers and swiftly hid from the view of the monster waiting for us outside our hiding places; that demon would bring us to our prison rooms for the night, and her name was

In 1945 Elizabeth Bowen published her short story “The Demon Lover”, in which the main character, Kathleen Drover, returns to her war torn home in London during the midst of World War II and finds a letter supposedly from her ex fiancé who has been presumed dead for 25 years. The story ends with the main characters abduction, presumably by her ex fiancé. Since its publication, “The Demon Lover” has been subject to much debate over the meaning of the events in the story. In his article “Psychosis or Seduction” Daniel V. Fraustino attempts to refute Douglas A. Hughes’s claim that the events in the story are hallucinations, the result of Mrs. Drover having a mental breakdown (Fraustino 483). Instead, Fraustino argues for a much more literal interpretation of the story, calling it “a mystery of high suspense” (483).

Continuing, the officers went floor-to-floor searching for a nonexistent sniper. After the failed search, the policemen gathered the seven residents downstairs and lined them up. “Foreshadowing the gruesome ‘game’ to come,” writes Hersey, “the officers began to take people from the line, one by one, into rooms, for what might have been called—and might strictly not—questionings” (264).

Into The Woods Terrance Spruill Jr. or “T”, was the monster under my bed with eyes burning filled with hatred and a soul too dark to imagine. He was the boy who remained deadly silent, unless an insult or two wanted to roll off his tongue and strike a victim with embarrassment and shame.
