The Day in the Life of a Doorknob
A Day in the Life of a Doorknob

Well it’s another day. There is a chill in the air The sun is rising and shines on me. That warms me right up. Let me introduce myself. My name is Daisy and I am a doorknob of a car. We belong to a woman named Melanie. She has a little daughter named Sophie. I am sitting in the parking lot waiting for Melanie. It’s about seven thirty and time to drop Sophie off to school. I see them walk out of the apartment and headed my way. “ Get in and buckle up Sophie,” says Melanie. “ Ok mom,” says Sophie. She buckles up and Melanie starts the car. The vibration of the engine wakes me right up. I’m ready for my day to start. We are headed to Sophie’s school. Sophie asks Melanie if they can go to the park later and she says yes. I like to go to the park. There is so much to see there. We arrive at Sophie’s school. “ Have a good day,” says Melanie. “ I will mom,” says Sophie. As she heads towards the door I notice she left her crayons in the car. I hope she won’t need them today. We are about to pull of when Melanie spots them in the backseat. “ Oh no. I better go give this to her. This is her last pack,” says Melanie to herself. I don’t see Sophie anymore but her teacher is outside waiting for the rest of her class. Melanie rushes it to her. They are having a conversation about something but I can’t hear what they’re saying. I guess it must not be anything bad because they are both smiling. Now it’s time for Melanie to head to work. I am always so bored waiting for her to finish work. She works at a supermarket and she parks in the back of the building so I stare at a wall all day long. The real adventures

    32 “Well its actually happening ma’, I’m goin’ back to school.”Rufus said. “I want you to know, I truly am proud of you Rufus.” His mother replied. Curtis and Janet went to a different school then Rufus but he still walked them to school then walked himself to school. On his way to school a car followed him very slowly but Rufus kept walking. When he got to school it looked the same on the outside that it always had. Rufus pushed open the doors at Searingtown School and yelled “I’m back!” All of his friends ran over to hug him. He went down to the office to get a tour he thought he didn’t need because he remembered every single solitary thing about this place. While the tour was going on everything going on was a blur. He looked left, right and left again, admiring the changes the school had made. “Wow” he sighed. “Is there a problem Rufus?” the tour guide asked. Rufus answered, “When I was here the wall paint was all chipped, there were broken windows and holes in the walls.” “Oh ok, well that concludes our tour and this door on your right is your first period class.” The tour guide replied. Rufus walked in and sat at an available seat at the back of the class room. He opened his notebook and took notes even though he didn’t understand anything that was going on. By the time 5th period came around it was time for lunch he was starving. All of his friends called him over and asked him to sit with him. Momma didn’t make him a big lunch because they didn’t have that much food in the house and then needed to split it 3 different ways. Allison who used to have a big crush on Rufus sat right next to him. Mitchell and Charlie sat across from him and Christina, Alisha and Sammy sat around them. When the bell rang he went to his locker and when he got to class he looked out the window and saw the same car that followed him to school. The only person he thought of was Simon. But he didn’t have a car? Rufus ran to the office to explain the…

    Later, just a couple of minutes before Prep, I sat by the phone rooms, nauseous about how I would break the world-shattering news to Sophie. Ah, my beloved Sophie, we dated last year until she saw Matt Shauman. But I would have won her back with these tickets. Maybe I can say that I was suspended and Max will get them for her, so as not to break her fragile heart. So, plucking up my last piece of courage, I entered a phone cubicle and dialled her boarding house’s number. Brrrr, Brrrr, with numb fingers, they shook like an earthquake, so wedging the phone between my shoulder and ear, my breathing…

    Cayden was excited to see her friend. She loved the drive to Charleston, with the lush green trees and the warm scent in the air. All of a sudden,Cayden’s car shuddered, like one does when cold. Cayden thought this was odd, as her car was brand new. Her car shuddered again, as she passed the sign that said, “Gas Next 40 Miles.” Her eyes flashed to the screen in her car which read, “Empty.” She thought of her mother saying, “Don’t forget to stop for gas before your head out.” Cayden’s car came to a rolling stop.…

    "My name is Sadie Frowne. I work in Allen Street (Manhattan) in what they call a sweatshop. I am new at the work and the foreman scolds me a great deal. I get up at half-past five o'clock every morning and make myself a cup of coffee on the oil stove. I eat a bit of bread and perhaps some fruit and then go to work. Often I get there soon after six o'clock so as to be in good time, though the factory does not open till seven.…

    About a minute later, I saw Johnny’s car around the corner. My eyes followed it until it was in front of me. “Let’s go, Angela.” I opened the car door, threw in the bag of clothes, and signaled Angela to get in. I followed, and closed the door. “Going back home.” Johnny nodded as he locked the car. While the car was in motion, Angela started to move and took out the blue shirt she picked earlier. She showed a proud smile while holding it in front of her. She started to chuckle and talk in a happy proud tune. “John, John! Don’t you think that this is cute?” He looked at the front car mirror and smiled. “Of course, madam.” I started to notice that the speed of the car is a little unusual. It seems faster than usual.…

    I met her at the bus station, and showed her a bright pink winter coat. “Emporium Capwell, nineteen dollars! For you!” I said proudly. Recently, June had been going out in only a light sweater, and I didn’t want her to catch a cold. I held it up to her body, but June pushed it away and stuffed it into the bag. “Ma, I wish you wouldn’t do that in public. Besides, the color’s too bright,” she complained. “Tsk, health is most important,” I said. She got annoyed at this, and simply said, ” Whatever. Let’s just get lunch over with.” How can you rush lunch? Lunch is a meal for social interaction and enjoying the food, not just something to be checked off. We walked and talked, not really listening to each other. Soon we arrived at the markets, and there was on fish. “Nikan!” Look! “50 percent off all seafood, only today!” I dragged her over, and started my regular buying ritual, testing the fish and shouting to the vendors. My daughter stepped away from me and took out her cell phone. “Ma, I wish you wouldn’t do that. It’s embarrassing. Let’s just get to the restaurant.” Sometimes I wish I had disciplined her more. I was always too relaxed when she was younger, I had never taught her respect, when to keep her mouth shut. Now it is too late, I cannot teach her anymore. All I can do is ignore her and carry…

I roll my eyes, annoyed by even the idea of going to that old boring mental institution. I sigh.

    the kitchen as I sat in my room nervously fussing over my makeup. Today was a big day for me, it was my first job interview for a position at the local McDonald’s. My stomach flip flopped at the thought of it all. I was very shy so the thought of having to sit and be interrogated with questions from a stranger was enough to send me into a panic. I looked in the mirror and smoothed out the front of my shirt, a pink and yellow top with brown dress slacks. “You can do this Sylvia, it’s nothing to be afraid of.” I told myself, though my stomach thought otherwise. Looking at the time I took a deep breath and left my room, heading for the kitchen to ,what felt like, my impending doom. Father was waiting there impatiently, as he saw me he just grunted and went out the front door. I followed after him, only stopping outside the door briefly to make sure I had all my stuff. Dad was already buckled up and had the engine started as I approached his SUV. The poor thing was so covered in the dirt from the road it was a wonder how dad could see out the windows. I climbed into the front passenger seat , wrinkling my nose at the smell of the inside. My dad’s fishing hobby was apparent by the fish smell of the interior of the SUV, and the 7 fishing poles stuffed in the back also gave it away. As Dad began to pull out of the driveway I felt my stomach churn again. Dad noticed and awkwardly patted my head saying “It will be alright kiddo”. My dad wasn’t the best at comforting but I was grateful for any comforting gesture at the moment. I watched the trees and houses go by as Dad drove, the 15 minute drive seemed like a eternity to me. I watched as the trees and houses turned into shops and sidewalks as we entered town. We were almost there, I could see it up on the hill. The site made me nauseous all over again as I tried…

    Everything seemed wrong from the very start. First of all, he began his day late as he woke up late for school that day. So here he was, chasing after the bus which already on its way with its loyal morning passenger all aboard. Ian knew that it was a futile attempt because once the bus had moved away from the bus stop; there was no way to stop it. He plopped down lazily on his buttock on the cold chair in the bus stop. His stomach was grumbling because he missed his breakfast as a result of waking up late. His mother won’t let him have even just a small bite of those delicious home-made pancakes of hers. Ian glanced down at his red wristwatch, it read 8.01am. Sighing out of frustration, he decided that it would be best if he started walking to school. As he walked, he muttered some incoherent curse words under his breath, unaware of the presence of a large, black dog creeping up…

    She looked over her syllabus and her notes, trying to decide what her paper should entail. For days, she had scrutinized over this assignment because it was a major part of her grade for the class. She still had no idea; she did not even have an outline. Julie put her head down on the desk. “Just breathe,” she told herself. The ringing phone jarred her back to reality. It was her mother. She glanced at the clock, and decided to let the voicemail get it. After a minute, she noticed the blinking light from the answering machine. “What if it’s something important? Or what if something is wrong?” Slowly, she got up from her chair, walked over to the answering machine, and hit the play button.…
