I don't think she's well. She doesn't look well. Every day i just watch her and my heart breaks and i can't think what to say to her or anyone because she's falling apart and taking me with her.

there was a well at the end of the road. No one knew why it was there. They pondered day after day over it, since no one seemed to use it, why keep it there. Then one day an old man was seen hunched over the well, hunkered down deep in the belly of the well. One young brave soul decided to ask him, what are you reaching for? He said, "I'm looking for my soul."

Feet set on the floor for the first time after the accident. I could get up, I could stretch...it felt so foreign, and yet the memory of a time when I was healthy came flooding back. I was happy. I was well.

Well...what a hesitant word. I'm not really sure what comes after it. I suppose we could be talking about well wells, as in the kind you get water from. But how much is there to say about wells? I guess you could drown in one, gien the chance. And a well would be a mighty nice sight if you were thristing to death in the desert.

well. a scar around her neck, a condescending look on her highly seductive face. her clevage is showing below the scarf, and she has a kickass outfit on, street-ska-esque. it's the dead of winter. there's a bare tree and a clear white sky behind her. that sky's always reminded me of the calm before the storm, someone whose face is about to scrunch up and tears will start flowing. she looked down, grinning, a heavy smirk on her face, at me.

For years, there had been a source of constant curiousity, lurking at the bottom of the garden... well anyone would wonder about a deep pit, be they 6 or 60, there is always a sense of exploration and the unknown when you peer into the earths bowels. Truth of the matter is though, that this well was just an extremely deep smelly old man made puddle- bearing testament to why it was called the earths bowels.

I once fell down a well, it didnt hurt as much as one might think...it wasn't the fall rather the cold dark splash at the end that really scared me. Not knowing when or how I was going to get out, not knowing if I'd ever see my family again.

Well is what everyone says about everything. For some reason when someone can't come up with something the write "well". That word is just meant to pause, it usually makes something ackward.

She wasn't doing so well. Her brain cells felt like they were melfunctioning and her throut has a fried, burnt taste to it. It was horrible, she didn't know how she'd really pull through. She couldn't go to the police. She couldn't go to the hospital.

The boy looked down the well and saw a strange shadow. It looked like a person but it wasn't. He stared at it for a long time before he realised what it was......he was looking at ...... his dead father who he had only seen once in his life.

Am I well? Have I ever been? It seems to denote a sort of normal state of peace and tranquility and health and all sorts of these vague nouns that are supposed to be good. I think I am too full of life to ever be well. I think that if you live thoroughly that you will never be well, or sane, or anything else. And I think that's a good thing.

That well..that deep and abiding well that lives in you. And someone else draws their water from it... I cannot fight it. I cannot help it. I cannot protect you from the things that you want. I dip my bucket and it comes up empty.

On my eighth birthday, my family went to a steak restaurant with a story-tall metal slide in the middle. My mother ordered a bloody mary with well vodka. Being eight, I asked her what that meant. She explained that it was the cheapest way to order an alcoholic beverage, and thus, the best, since she could afford more of them that way. Her drink came, and she was disappointed with the restaurant's recipe. She echoed her complaints with the other three she bought. When we got home, she taught me her favorite way to mix one, so that she could have more without having to leave the couch. I was so proud of how much she seemed to enjoy mine.

at the bottom of a well there is a reflection but it's much darker than any reflection you would see in, say, a pail of water. and it's smaller than the opening to the well. sound perhaps conveys the reflection better than site - as you drop a stone you might here the plop and ripples spill out. what then? you could get dizzy leaning over.

[Tristin]
Well, I didn't really mean it... Well, it's not like it's that bad... Well, Maybe, if, you know?... Wells are things to fall into, wells are where we throw our wishes away, and they never come true. Wells are the beginnings of sentences that you never want to hear the rest of.

Well, this prompt could send you almost anywhere! Where do I want to go? Not into any big flight of fancy today. I think I just want to go upstairs and relax. Forget about the crazy week that's coming. The airplanes flying out in snowy weather, the meetings. Just relax.

I looked down into the well, but couldn't see a thing. "I don't know, girl, I think you're wrong for once. Timmy's not in the well." Lassie began barking again. "Oh, I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you properly before. You see, church services had just ended and I was ringing the big bell..."

I'm not well. Today I'm not well at all. All of these things keep creeping up on me. I feel like I'm in a horror movie. 0 I need escape 0 I need rescue. I need someone to rescue me. But the only person that would do that has trapped me already. O well.

Is it like a well with water, or being well or what? Well water is nasty anyway I don't know anyone who would drink it. I've been doing well after an ear infection kicked my bum all over town. Or maybe its meaning "well I just ran over a skunk" who knows.

five rocks stacked haphazardly cover our contaminated well. a throne of stone. and someone would get to be the queen, and the rest were the servants, and those limber branches we snapped from the dogwood made excellent slave-whips. a scary time.

Well. Just a description. "I am well," but does that really tell us anything? How can one word sum up all of us? It doesn't seem possible. It takes so much more. It makes so very little sense to me. One word can't possibly be enough when there are so many thousands of words in the world.

Well, he was an asshole. With the silk shirt and the overpowering Brut aftershave, what did you expect? I've warned you of these guys before, but you still insist on dating them. Was it when he flashed the Porsche key? Or was it when he told you he could bench press 300lbs? You'll never learn, silly girl.

at the well is a girl with flowers and sandals, saying "how is it that we can't see the bottom from here". looking up in the sky seeing stars whizzing by, how come we can't see the end?

My mother was never well. Neither was my father, but that's for another time. She was always confined to her bed, weakly looking at the fast-paced world rushing outside of her window. I'd visit her as often as I could bare to see such a painful sight...

I wasn't feeling well today so i thought i'd say home. i laid on the couch and turned on my television and found a whole series of romantic comedies. it was a great day. romantic comedies and me. then i was sad because i did not feel well but there was nobody here to make me chicken soup. so i was just feeling sorry for myself and not too well at all. sorry way to spend a day when you don't feel well isn't it? Sure wish I could have felt better. either way, don't watch romantic comedies when yo don't feel well.

"Well. I see that you are in good health, Margarette. It's really a shame I've got to kill you. But you've seen and heard too much for your own good. If you had known what it would lead to, would you still have spent as much time as you did crouching behind locked doors? Listening to words not spoken for you?" "Well no inspector, I suppose, if I had know..." But her words were already cut off, ending in a slow gurgling noise that erupted from her punctured lungs.

Sometimes dipping into the deep well of emotions we all have can be a traumatic experience. We can't all access this well ourselves. More often than not it's some event that throws us down there against our will. And when you're down there, it can be hell. You have no option but to swim and swim and hope to God that you can come up soon.

Well. Well i am trying to think about something to write about the word "well". It would be easier if the word was something like tree or box, but well is part of a sentence structure. I can write well, but not about the word "well".

I know someone whose mother drowned in a well. Yes, in this day and age. She lived in remote outback Australia, and their property had an old well at the bottom of the paddock. No one usually went there, but one day her mother went down searching for their dog, which had been missing for a couple of days. No one knows how it happened. Maybe the dog really was in the well, and her mother fell in trying to rescue it. Maybe she tripped. Maybe it wasn't really an accident. My friend was only five when it happened, so she'll never really know.

"Well what do we have here?" Drawled a very warm and masculine voice. Sherry blew her a mass of brown hair out of her eyes as she looked over her shoulder. She was embarrassingly aware that her ass was sticking up in the air as she bent over trying to dislodge the ridiculously spiked heel from the sidewalk's metal grate. "If you were a gentlemen, you'd help me get my shoe unstuck," Sherry said as she turned back to wrestle with her heel. She was absolutely regretting this skimpy outfit and the wrapped around ties of these on these blasted shoes. Sherry jerked as a large warm hand patted her ass. "Well Baby, I'm not gentlemen. In fact, I'm rather enjoying the view."

yes I do feel well today and it really is good feeling. their have been times in the past when often I did not feel well and so feeling well gives me a sense of perspective.Thank you who ever you are for setting this thing up.I'm putting it on my tool bar I like it so much.
