  2. i stare at the sky ahead of me and i’m shocked to see the swarm of small birds flying straight towards the windshield of my car. it’s a beautiful thing happening in front of me, with wings flitting about and never a bird running into another. how do they do that?

  3. A cold mist rose from the crack under the door. The air moved through my body like through a brittle autumn leaf about to fall. A deep guttural snarl stirred within my colon. At last, the blast was set free. and it smelled delicious.

  6. I have always been astonished to know that the word startled has always startled my imagination and has made me go bonkers about the uncertainty in the world’s orderliness!!! God doesnt know either

  7. I get strtled oh no wait it means I get started. what about the l in that wort…it just seems not right to be in there. this word seems somehow wrng with this letter between the t and the e. but honestly who cares. maybe somebody just spelled it wrong? or does it really mean startled? like I am startled? do you say that? can you say that?

  8. me.
    you. and your mysterious ways of reappearing in everything. everywhere.
    you are this pen. this coffee cup. the overflowing liquid when i put the lid on tight.
    i always wanted to pretend you were nothing more than a curiosity.

    curiously…
    you’re not.

  9. I am so startled right now. The giant guinea pigs are so….furry. They are rampaging. There are guinea spiders, and guinea panthers. Oh no! what’s a person to do?

  10. I was startled the day that I discovered that some people liked Bush and actually voted for him for president. He has destroyed our country — with help, of course. Now we have Obama — and I am afraid, yet pleased at the same time.

  12. wow. I’m so…. obama won! It’s crazy. It went so quick last night. I really thought it would take longer than that. Be harder than that. At least be a little difficult. Mrrr. It almost doesn’t feel real it was so easy. So yes, startled is the right word.

  14. scared out of your wits the cat got startled when a dog jumped out from behind a tree. The look on his face when he realized someone was in the room when he was caught picking his nose. A reaction you have when you realize

  15. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I dont get startled so easily because I’m so stressed and tired all the time. I was at a haunted house and an axe murderer guy came up to me and held an axe to my face. I barely noticed. My friend had to point him out to me. That’s probably some kind of illness, right?

  17. surprised about what’s coming and what’s been. Shock syndrome to the brain and it’s up to me to control it or let it loose.

    What will startle me next? It’d be boring if nothing did.

  18. She ran quickly and as she swiftly turned the corner she ran into him. Her face held quite a startled look. He was exactly who she was running from. Here he was. They were face to face.

  20. It seems that we never allow ourselves to be startled any more. Everything has to be planned out to the last second. We never let life take us by surprise. All that we do seems geared towards allowing us to live normal, predictable lives from beginning to end. How do we ever grow if we never allow oursevles to be challenged?

  21. It was like I was startled.
    In a good way of course.
    I couldn’t believe my ears and eyes.
    I’ve never been so proud,
    I’ve never felt this way before.
    I’m excited for my country.
    I’m excited for this change.
    Barack Obama is change.

  22. Hola me llamo pepe y nací en una pequeña aldea lejos de la ciudad. Tengo 12 años y todos los dias acudo a mi escuela con mis amigos. Alli estudiamos unos libros muy interesantes y divertidos y jugamos a escondernos en lugares dificiles. Esta es mi vida en este pequeño pueblo.

  23. Wow. I dont really like to be startled… but then again maybe i do. Because after, even though my heart beats wildly. And my fight or flight is initiated, I feel an amazing sense of relief and comfort. Its almost like a drug effect…

  24. You startled me! How many times do I have to see you in one day? I am taken aback every time I see your face…why is that? there is nothing remarkable about you and yet over and over again I see something new. I guess that alone is remarkable. let’s plan a meeting next time and see if my perception changes.

  26. surprised at what Obama said last night. Seemed to stress our individual responsibility, finally, over what goodies the govt will hand out.

  27. you know, being startled has a lot of meaning.
    there was this time i was startled just by seeing a cat meow. well, not seeing. hearing, really.
    and another time i wasn’t even startled when i saw a person get knocked down.

    i should know. i’m watching a horror movie as i type this.
    and honestly, i’m not really startled.
    hell, if you can watch all the saw movies without freaking out, what’s the stupid ‘hide and seek’ movie gonna be like?
    nothing.
    nothing at all. xP
    so being startled, really depends.

  32. Startled describes a sense of awe and not being able to believe what has occured or is seen. It is shocked, aghast, bemused, generally a word associated with a negative shock I suppose. Startled brings to mind a quick stopping of the heart, a shocked facial expression. Rabbit in the headlights sort of stuff. I guess it has a
