I felt this place needed another story so heres a narative essay i had to write about 3 weeks ago.
The Twilight within the tempest. Dewdrops still clung feverously onto the multicolored canopy of foliage far above, struggling to hold on against the gentle sway of the wind and the unrelenting force of gravity and the slowly intensifying radiance of the sunlight. The shimmering display seemed to produce an ambiance of tranquility and serenity woven so intricately; it seemed as though another realm. This oasis of cultivation and steadiness seemed impervious to all but the most unrelenting barrage of the elements. This park was a fortress. Within this fortress without walls walked two people whom jested and jeered at one another, absorbing the richness of laughter with the zest and eagerness enriched by the passing of time and reassured that the bonds they shared shall never be diminished. Whether by time, trials, distance or differences, they would always have each other. These two knew that they would be willing to give everything for one another, even their lives if need be. For, they had a bond; a bond that could not be formed in days, weeks, months, years, or any length of time. A bond forged in the flames of adversity and suffering. When Billy Richards first moved to Glendale high, he was escaping. He was escaping from a life of endless torment and abuse from his overbearing and often less than sober father. Often times he was beaten until he was unconscious and frequently afterwards. Rarely was he permitted to go to school and as such his education was limited to the confines of Sesame Street and what few simple lessons his mother could give him. Only once did his mother get in the way. After being beaten to the point where he could hardly breathe his mother shouted, “That’s enough John! For Christ sakes you’re killing him! Stop it, please stop it!” That was when he went after her. Billy didn’t see her until she got out of the emergency ward. Nearly every night he could hear her sobbing and whimpering. So many times he heard, “I wish I could do more. I wish I could do more. I wish I could do more.” He felt that there was nothing worse than to hear her repeat that mantra over and over, as if it was a helpless prayer for divine intervention. Then one day intervention came. Billy never really knew what happened that day, but through the haze of pain and agony, remembered a loud crash and someone shouting “Get on the ground! Get on the ground now!” There was lots of screaming and a loud explosion that seemed to bypass his ears and penetrate directly into his mind. When he woke up he was in a bed and there was a bright light blazing overhead but he remembered those words coming from his mother’s lips, “You’re safe now. You’re alright now. I’ll never let that happen again.” Those words became reassuring and soothing with each repetition and for the first time in his life Billy felt like he had a future. Those next few weeks felt as though some spell had been cast over him. For the first time in his life, Billy felt something other than fear. As he walked down the hallways of his new school he did so without fear of showing scars or bruises. For the first time he didn’t need to hide or say he fell. For the first time he was able to raise his hand up and say, “I know that one.” For the first time Billy felt normal. Eight months passed as Billy slowly began to fall in with the crowd. Those experiences of the torment he once faced faded from a nightmarish hell to subtle memories. The countless nights of agony which haunted him, became more and more distant. Steadily, he learned what happiness meant and how to enjoy the little things in life. Slowly he learned how to cherish those rare moments of carefree joy. But the one thing he treasured more than anything was the moments his mother smiled freely. Even though he had known her all his life, he couldn’t remember her smiling like that even once and for such a treasured moment he would have given anything. Those prized moments came more frequently as time went on. But despite all the places and all the times he saw her smile none could compare to that smile she gives when walking him to school, through the park, on days such as this and times such as now. Yes, this park was indeed a fortress. |

I read one of Freud's essay before, but I don't think I understood what it is meant by "a Freudian slip." Can you explain further, please?
Somehow, this reminds me of one of the lines from Star Trek TNG
except that it's not necessarily a bickering. |

Either way, we'll melt them down, extract the gold, and make a mint! Stop analyzing and get some coins!!
