Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 201 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations BEFORE we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

The Killer


He buried his hands in his head and sobbed. He couldn’t believe what he just seen. A body on his way home from the park just laying there in a pool full of blood. Just as he reached his hand in his pocket to pull out his phone to call the police, they arrived “freeze!” He froze in fear and slowing turned around. The officer continued “put your hands in the air, where I can see them”. The man said ”Officer you have this all wrong” in mid conversation, the officer continued “Stop talking” “Keep your hands where I can see them or you will face worse consequences.” “But Please” said the man. “zap” The officer tasered the man down. The man began to jitter all over the floor, but all of a sudden something went wrong and foam was coming out of his mouth he was having a seizure!

A nurse ran to the man and held him still while repeatedly yelling, “Someone call the doctor!”

“Call the doctor?” I replied. “What kind of sick game are you trying to play here!” 

“It’s either she’s pregnant and having a baby as we speak or she just really has to poop” I shouted. “Take a look! Do you see a head popping out?”

“No, but it doesn’t mean it’s not there!”

“Are you sure? I swear to fucking god I left it there go check again bitch. I’ll fucking kill you if it’s lost”  The girl desperately looks around the room and has no idea where she is at the moment. In fact, it is total and utter darkness. Even grey would be appealing at this moment. She starts hyperventilating and calling for help, but to no avail. She can’t even roll over. She’s clearly in a coffin.

“Hello?” she calls, then feels stupid, no one in graveyards are listening for a voice.

And yet someone answered. Now she’s even more nervous than what she was originally. Now she knows she is not alone . their was someone in her house.

As she walked up to her doorstep she could hear the utter silence. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. She turned the knob and in that instant she felt a hand clasp her neck.

“ Say one word and I’ll kill you”. He muttered into her ear. One word? She thought to herself, she didn’t even intend to breath. She was nervous, and at this very moment, she felt alone, she could be killed at this very moment, but the killer hesitated, he continued to look at her and realized that she was someone he knew. He told her to “go”. She got up and continued to run for her life. He didn’t follow, he just sat there and thought about life. What was it that was so special, he killed others he knew why her? He went home that day wondering if she alerted the cops about him.
