Moments Before Death

     Mikalaj laid there in the grass, covered in his own blood-- bleeding into the soil. He stared up at the sky quietly, his normally pale purple eyes seemingly more pale than normal, along with his skin. Blinking slowly and letting out a soft, shaky sigh, a small smile spread across his face-- tears rolling down the sides of his face. This was the end, huh? Not how he envisioned it. But he felt… a faint feeling of happiness behind pain. Happiness that-- he was finally free. Free from this cruel world-- free from his own mind and his thoughts. Free.

     He closed his eyes and swallowed thickly, hands resting over top of the wound in his chest, a soft, weak, chuckle escaping him as his breathing slowed to a stop, and he fell relaxed-- one last breath fleeing his lips as he passed away.

Lei Wai in England

     This place was disgusting, it reeked, it was full of people, wearing odd clothes and speaking in a silly language. However, this was where Lei Wai was living currently, with his parents. They had a relatively nice home, and he went to an expensive school, where he got a good education. But he disliked how there was nothing to do. Everything was buildings and roads, he hardly ever stumbled across an open field or even a tree.

     His favorite thing to do was sit on the docks and watch the water, especially when it was foggy. He’d watch the boats and the waves, the sounds were calming to him, they helped him to forget the fact that they were far away from his homeland, far away from the green fields and trees.

Experimenting with Writing Styles

Descriptive

     A lot of Ukraine is farmland, however there are quite a few urban areas as well, such as Kyiv. Kyiv is bustling with people, though a lot of the buildings in certain districts are old and crumbling. However, in the newer ones, the buildings are beautiful and modern, well kept and clean, surrounded by beautiful parks and sights. As the capital city of Ukraine, Kyiv’s well kept areas also contain many government buildings and embassies. At night, almost every part of this beautiful city would be lit up, proving to make it look like a sky full of stars. With a population of 2.758 million, you can guess how busy the streets are, day and night.

Compare & Contrast

     ‘Two Worlds’ and ‘Elder Scrolls’ are two very similar games, however, Elder Scrolls is a lot more well known. Elder Scrolls has multiple games in the series, while Two Worlds has only two. Elder Scrolls has been around for quite a while since 1994, while Two Worlds was released in 2007. They both have a similar setup, with similar controls, but Two Worlds had a significantly lower budget. Two Worlds has a different, storyline of course, but really, Elder scrolls beats them by a longshot, with their in depth storylines and character types.

Narrative

     When I came out, I was scared to tell my mother. I called her downstairs and sat down with her, and flat out told her that I was pretty sure I was transgender. She told me that was alright, and I was relieved. She was very supportive and helpful with my issues, and bought me chest binders and clothes that I needed to be comfortable. The rest of my family, however, wasn’t very supportive at all. They told me that it was a phase, and constantly made me uncomfortable. However, after about a year after coming out, it’s getting easier for them. I hope to get on hormones soon.
