I was startled when they told me that I only had one minute to write about this word, startled… let me think of a time when I was startled? What could make someone feel startled? Maybe if they are afraid of the dark or if they are watching a scary movie and someone startles them from behind? You could even be startled when you find an animal on your leg… Startling…
“It was just unexpected. I was startled and the jug dropped.” She spoke quickly, rushing the words out in a breath. “Out of my hand, I mean: I did drop it.”
Her fragility was appealing, as was her attempt at claiming blame. I hadn’t noticed her which was probably why jumping up and breaking into song had the effect it did. My exuberance may not have been applauded by the universe, but the world had reacted. Or at least she had.
In London, far far and far far away from America. Everyone is startled that I just jumped on the plane here without saying a proper goodbye. I have no regrets.
I did not expect anyone to be in the office when I got to work, and It was only after I had settle down to my work that I was startled by a noise that came from the room next door.
HA! I was indeed startled to find my suspicions were confirmed. I can’t believe that it’s actually happened and the, what? jealousy? that slips into my head like a seething poison. I am jealous of who it is, what it is, and how you treat me so differently so instantly. It startles me that this has as much of an impact as it does, because it’s not even you. It’s that, in love, everyone else seems to have it so much better, so much easier. I am in a constant plateau of sameness, but I suppose it’s better than being in a horrible situation. So well done. Happy that you will be happy together. I just wish I hadn’t been caught by such surprise.
I stood, startled by his appearance. He had decided to come back. Why, now, of all times? I remained still, unsure of what to say and exactly how to approach this sudden turn of events. I looked to him for words, but he simply stood stoic, gazing back into my eyes with a confronting intensity.
I jumped back, startled. How had it gotten there? It wasn’t there this morning, and yet, I return home from work to find it sat, with menace in its eyes, in my bath. I hate spiders.
Of all the people, Jake is possibly the only person ever to be able to startle the poker-face Melissa. Everyone tried to get rid of her straight face, but no avail. Jake is the only one to be able to make her expression vary.

I found myself startled at the realization of how few people I surround myself with. one, two, only three people in counting that I can truly tolerate. it’s a lonely lifestyle, but one I can’t prevent.
I always get startled by the sound of things being knocked over when it rains and there is a heavy breeze. I also get startled when people sneak up behind me and attempt to jab me in the sides, thankfully I am large enough to retaliate also.
The bus shook, and a few vegetables topples over.
As we sped by, the vegetables grew less in sight.
I waited patiently, clinging onto those sacks that were hard and very uncomfortable. i had no choice…it was a startling experience.
hmm i guess it’s been a while since i’ve felt startled. i’ve been feeling more uneasy lately. I have been watching some exorcism movies with B, where i get a bit freaked out and anxious, but not really startled. I like being scared/startled. it’s fun to scream. I really want to go to the haunted forest next year. it was lots of fun. we’ll see, depends on my friends. don’t be lame.
Today when I woke up I was started to see my once so loving homes in boxes all around me. I never really have had a stable place to live, and though I knew things come and go, for some reason I thought this place was different.
I’m completely unbearable and you understand that. Even stranger, you’re not the slightest bit bothered. I know human nature, but you accept human nature- and that’s beautifully startling.
scared and uncertain. i was shocked when i walked outside to see the sun this morning. the world wass a place i had not seen before and i felt as if this place was not set in.
Oh, wow, you startled me, Startled. You seem so unlike yourself these days. Have you found the new job, new wife, where is your life? Ah, what a wonderful surprise you are and you just startle me.
aware afraid. I heard something in the distance and felt a cold rush of air sweep over me. It took me by surprise, but it was also familiar like something i had heard before. As the noise became louder I released it was coming closer.
Startled is the feeling you get when you’re faced with something you didn’t expect. When you realize that you got an A on the test you hadn’t studied for or when you learn that a close friend or relative has cancer. Startled is the feeling that makes your heart jump. Startled is a relative of love. Startled is a relative of pain. It brings both together and it pushes both apart. Startled is a skipped beat.
I was startled by the sound of his voice. It was like waking from a nightmare for all the right reasons. The tone of his words caressed something deep inside me, wiping away all the darkness beneath within.
She was no longer startled by the way grimaces gained ground on normally friendly features at the merry updates of her betrayer’s life, she was no longer disturbed by the violent twitches that whipped her agitation outward at every word the woman spoke. No, she no longer cared how callous and cold she appeared, how hidden her heart was beneath the rage.
I can’t remember being startled lately. I’m grieving the death of my youngest son and also have been snowed in for 4 days so don’t see people or have much opportunity to be startled. However, my little Schnauzer, Gretchen, gets startled at everything! She is so jumpy. And has such an attitude. If I startle her by daring to change positions while she is on my lap, I get “the look”! But I love her anyway!
When I first realized my feelings for you, I was startled out of the normalcy of my life. This was so new and unexpected, I knew that I would be forever a changed woman.
The door popped open suddenly. She looked up, startled.
“Where did you come from?” she asked the visitor.
“I came back for you.”
“That’s not what I asked,” she replied.
“No, but it’s what you wanted to hear. Just accept it, I came back for you and only you.”
I entered the room as I saw her naked, pale flesh sprawled across the bedsheets. A bottle of pills spilled across the sheets and the floor, her eyes open wide and devoid of any sign of life. I dropped to the floor, startled to this discovery as I clutched her frozen hand. Tears rained down my face, knowing she was gone.
She startled me, the way she looked at me. The frock coat bundled tight against her bosom, but the hem of it bristling just perfectly against her hips. The modest pink lipstick, tasseled at the curled corners, just slightly, to get the effect. The swiveling of whiskey on cold, crystalline rocks against her miraculously gloved ivory hand. I was disoriented by it. And I liked it.
The man slowly crawled to the side of the road after yanking his leg free from the wrecked automobile. He was startled at his lack of injuries considering how bad it could have been even though he was in fact significantly hurt. No one was around
The beautiful deer stepped out into the clearing just as the hunter gazed in that direction. The deer stood still for a second and then jumped, startled at the sound of a click coming from nearby. The hunter looked angrily at the deer scampering away into the mist.
I woke with a start. I opened my eyes, but had no idea where I was. The scenery around me was beautiful — the trees looked like overgrown flowers set in pastel colors. I looked down at my body. What was I laying in? A bathtub?
his eyes widened like a rabbits, or a deer, or a child caught in the act, and he knew he was this close to being caught, this close. his breath staggered in his throat, shuddered to a halt and then jerked alive again. he shook his head, he needed to keep going, he had a goal, he had to get rid of the bag. no one would catch him, no one could now.

because as i entered i couldn’t believe it omg what for me a surprise party after today i had almost forgoten my own birthday!

Go to Temple daily and have God Blessings.

She was born in the spring, when butterflies danced,
a tiny pale thing.
When summer came, she had friends all around her,
the wind making them sing.
When the autumn wind blew, she woke up startled,
To find herself floating to the ground.
Then winter, covered her in his snowy cloak,
and whispered a lullaby,
Said,”Now rest, my dear, your day is done,
poor withered leaf, I bid sweet goodbye”

He turned around quickly, guilt coloring his voice. “Hello, darling. How much of that did you hear?”

She was startled by how much she still felt. It had been two years, what the f**k?!! That night she lay in her bed wishing she could forget the past…
