The Magazine of Saskatchewan High School Writing Annette Nedilenka My Blunt Obituary In some cases you can choose the way you want to die. In others you have no choice. I sometimes thought about death in general, that the way I die will change the way I will remain in this world or carry on in the next. All I know is that when you die, you want to go back. A birth and death date are just a record, a log of your life span. Does it contribute to who we are? We need to know everything and anything in our lives to know one thing; our meaning to breathe, think and feel. It’s just the basic senses of recognizing the environment and relationships around us. But really, we don’t pay much attention anyways. I think the real meaning of life is to search for the meaning of life, and when you figure that out and actually find what we are living for you’ll say, “Oh. I think I’ll have some tea.” Or you’ll say, “I fancy dying now.” Once I wished I was dead just to know what it felt like. Because that’s all we do everyday, we live. Well the simple way I died was not my fate, my choice, nor was it to happen for a reason. I died because the laws of nature decided it to be so. I died by getting hit by a bus. Bluntly. On January 22, 2015. Simple as that. And when you are laying on that stretcher, piercing sirens lap out like an opera singing your favourite ballad, plastic gloved hands trying so hard to bring you back, and all you can think is, “Just give up already.” Everyone dies alone, whether they are embraced or not. They travel through time like a backwards circuit. And the flight is better off alone. Wouldn’t it be annoying to have someone beside you in a theatre calling out every few seconds, “Wow! Awesome! Oh my goodness, that’s so sad. What’s gonna happen now?” Wouldn’t it? Winter slowly chilled my non-existent pulse. That’s all I could feel, I guess. But I didn’t really notice, because it was just happening, not me analyzing every little nerve break. You can only die once, so you should remember it. The classic death tunnel. People say all you can see is white. Well, in my case it was because I was looking up and there was snow. Snowflakes. Fuck. windScript 36 volume 24
The Magazine of Saskatchewan High School Writing windScript writer biographies Amanda Ahner is a grade 12 student currently attending the Swift Current Comprehensive High School. Last year she was challenged artistically by Creative Writing 20 and is pleased to have these prose submissions to show for her hours and hours of revision. Although writing has taken a back burner this year to make time for choral, band, and an awfully difficult physics course, she plans to continue exploring creative writing in the future. Jonathan Alexson lives in Fort Qu’Appelle, SK. Arden Angley is 17 years old and attends Miller Comprehensive High School. She likes Regina. She doesn’t like decision making, and is late for almost everything. She is just a big idiot that some people accidently take seriously. Caera Caton was born and raised in the Cypress Hills. The strongest calling to write has always come from her incredible surroundings, the wind and the forest. This is why she now lives in a small and quaint purple cottage on Vancouver Island only steps away from new and different inspirations. Stephanie Clarkson is a broke young woman with a passionate love for shoes, jewelry and books of all kinds (which is why she has no cash to her name). This 17-year-old is often misunderstood due to her sarcastic sense of humor. After she leaves Miller High School she will go to a University (her mother claims that it will be the U of R…she can’t leave the nest yet!), to learn more stuff that she is sure will be important. Renee Dumont is currently in grade 12 attending the Lafleche Central School. This is her second year in WindScript. Among many various activities such as curling, piano and karate, writing is one of her favourites and something that she wishes to continue for the rest of her life. Will Gordon (not William!) was born on July 14, 1992, two minutes after his twin sister. At the age of five he started writing and has continued since then. Nowadays when he is not writing, Will utterly wastes precious time that could be used for far better purposes. Amanda Johnson is an 18-year-old high school graduate living in Humboldt, SK. She is currently working as a lifeguard at the local pool, volunteering at the SPCA and spending her spare time writing poetry. Jocelyn Lukan is 19 years old and lives in the City of Bridges. She doesn’t like writing bio’s and so will end by saying just that because she can think of nothing else. Hayley Muench is 18 years old and resides in a 99 year-old house in Humboldt, Saskatchewan. She loves flamingoes, Mango-Lime Salsa, and making lists. Her pet peeves include banana-flavored anything, bad grammar, and when there is not enough cereal left in the box to have a full bowl. Annette Nedilenka is a grade twelve student currently attending Miller Comprehensive high school in Regina, Saskatchewan. Her works range in a variety of different subjects and are usually short stories or prose. She enjoys painting, art, literature and often a tasteful film. Her goal after high school is to go to post-secondary for animation and character design. 37 windScript volume 24
