There she sat, precisely three feet away from me. Her eyes glistened in the sunlight peeping in through the window. I will tell you the truth. She was the most perfect person I have ever seen. The way her spine curved around the seat of the chair. The way she carefully held the mug of coffee in her hand. The way her luscious curly locks hung over her shoulders and the way she would tuck the loose strands behind her ears. The perfect way she lipped the words of the newspaper. The noise of the coffee machines and the clanking of plates on tabletops completely faded out and she was the only thing I could sense. I knew in that moment of that second that I could love that girl for the rest of my life.

I sat down at the booth opposite of her without taking eyes off her. “Mmm excuse, can I help you?” She politely asked me. “Hi, ummm yes, I’m Will Merlon and I was umm wondering if I…” I responded before being interrupted. “Just so you know, I’m not free and never going to be free! You see the thing is that I haven’t got time for jerks like you. I’m trying to fight cancer. If you couldn’t ...

  • On Seeing The 100 % Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning By Haruki Murakami

    980 Words  | 2 Pages

    Haruki Murakami’s “On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning,” with a clever shift in narrative point of view halfway through the text, adroitly toes the line between doe-eyed romanticism and bleak (but substantial) drama. The narrator opens the story in the first person to describe a woman he passes on the sidewalk, claiming that despite his immediate infatuation with her, “she was no great beauty” (Murakami). His infatuation, however, is disarmingly instantaneous. He describes how, just by seeing her once, “from fifty yards away: She's the 100% perfect girl.” After establishing an emotional connection with the audience, the point of view transitions to the third person in the form of a story told by the first-person narrator. He recites a fairytale that serves as an

  • The Illness Narratives, By John Kleinman

    400 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the book The Illness Narratives, Kleinman begins the chapter by talking about how in his writing, the words illness and disease have different meanings. When he uses the word illness, he is referring to the innately human experience of symptoms and suffering. According to the book, illness problems are the principal difficulties that symptoms and disability create in our lives. An example is when we have a headache and it makes it hard to think, resulting in frustration when trying to get work done. Sometimes we feel angry when people can’t see our pain and think that we are overexagerrating. As a result, we feel the need to prove to them that we are in pain. When this happens, people can lose their hope in getting better and become depressed.

    Then she looked at me. I thought that she was looking at me for the first time. But then, when she turned around behind the lamp and I kept feeling her slippery and oily look in back of me, over my shoulder, I understood that it was I who was looking at her for the first time. I lit a cigarette. I took a drag on the harsh, strong smoke, before spinning in the chair, balancing on one of the rear legs. After that I saw her there, as if she'd been standing beside the lamp looking at me every night. For a few brief minutes that's all we did: look at each other. I looked from the chair, balancing on one of the rear legs. She stood, with a long and quiet hand on the lamp, looking at me. I saw her eyelids lighted up as on every night. It was then that I remembered the usual thing, when I said to her: "Eyes of a blue dog." Without taking her hand off the lamp she said to me: "That. We'll never forget that." She left the orbit, sighing: "Eyes of a blue dog. I've written it everywhere."

    On this particular day, I nestled behind Jane Austen’s portrayal of indubitable lust between Mr. Darcy & Miss Bennet. My skinny cappuccino sat beside me, the smooth, brown milk created a contrast with the mug that lay on the table the lustrous texture, topped with chocolate crumbles outdated the effect created by the coffee beans which placed themselves outside the mug, begging to be crushed. I place my hand on the warm mug, curling my naked left hand around it, taking only a minuscule sip, my eyes remain cross-eyed whilst reading the last few words of my page as I grasped the crisp page between my delicate fingers I clenched my mug and led it to my mouth, taking a considerably larger sip and this time letting the warm liquid sit on my tongue for longer. In that moment I glance up, breaking from my novel whilst letting the sweet coffee slide down my throat, unintentionally scanning the room of people’s profiles and in that very moment, time stopped. My emotions turn jagged and my insides tightened, when I layed eyes on what used to be my entire world, not one merely feature makes him so handsome, though his eyes come close.
