My mind is really strange at this point of time. Right now it is to. I can't explain it but they just come up.
I woke up this morning with a weird vibe. I couldn't understand, until the end of the day. I got in the shower, got dressed for school and put on my socks. You're probably wondering why I didn't use socks in the 'putting on my clothes category'. Well that's because my socks were grilled and had confetti in them! The thing was, I'm an only child and my parents are always at work and I do not have tube socks! So I walked down into the kitchen,looking inside the black refrigerator of something to eat. Inside there were purple paninis everywhere! I slammed the door shut, put my back on the refrigerator and nervously looked around. I was paralyzed by fear I put on myself, feeling a robber came in and pranked me. But the other side of me said that I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed today and i should go to school. I got my backpack an walked out the front door. The road, the street, and all the concrete outside was actually cheese! Now, at this moment I began to ponder as to how many cows it took to make all this and how much money we use on paved roads. Children were playing out in the cheese; rolling in it, eating in it, and jumping in it like it was a puddle. So now I knew I wasn't going insane. I walked slowly to the bus stop hoping anything weird would not happen for the rest of the day. I guess I spoke too soon because when the bus pulled up, it was a big jar of peanut butter! The cap popped open when the bus stopped and I waled inside. The seats on the bus were vitamins, but everything else was the same as a normal bus. I looked over to my right side and saw that the driver was an astronaut and all of the students were cowboys and cowgirls! I sat down anyways by a cowboy and drove to school.
The day continued to be weird as you wold expect. The teacher being a toe with toe fungus all over, lunch ladies as mermaids being daredevils with parachutes, lunch being bird brains, pencils evolving to leotards, lockers G.I. Joe soldiers, and anything else you want to throw out. Needless to say, it was a nightmare. I was beginning to think it was just a joke, like a holiday nobody told me about. But everybody was in it.
At the end of the school day the sky was a big jersey of the Green Bay Packers and the clouds were footballs. If it was raining, I don't want to know what it would rain. Probably cotton candy. At least the air was normal as I walked to the bus to go back home, because I took a deep breath. I went inside my bus, but no students were there. Now there were doctors and nurses pushing me down and doing CPR on me.
"Ow!" I screamed. The first time I talked all day.
"Yes, her breath stinks, it was worse than we thought." The doctor said. I smelled my breath, but it smelled perfectly fine. Of mint fresh Colgate.
"Lets give her an X-Ray before we do anything too hasty." said the other doctor.
"OK" replied the nurse.She pulled a big TV screen in front of me, but nothing happened, obviously. It was a TV!
"Yes. Its bad. You don't think-"she paused.
"No. It can't be."
"Hello! I'm right here! Nothing came on the TV and it's not a soap opera!"
"Throw her out!" the doctor shouted. So the nurse and the other doctor threw me out and I landed on my porch. I walked into my house and I saw fur shaped as humans i those toxic clothing in yellow suits, removing my furniture and valuables.
"What are you doing here! I've had a bad enough day already and I don't want men in my house removing what's mine!" I barked. I put my hands on my hips and gave the man closest to me a snarl look. The man walked closer to me and hit me with a helmet!

A couple of days later I finally woke up and everything was back to normal. To people, transportation, roads, and the elements. But I just couldn't help thinking why the lunch ladies still had their parachutes with them...
Feelings restrained;
Devils remain;
Paranoia is part of the blame.

Hello there, EdgarAllan!

Okay, first thing's first. Grammar.

There were quite a few errors I caught. Most of these are simple to fix; I suggest proofreading, such as reading the piece aloud. There were some spots that needed a space, verb tense changes, a capital letter for "I" and some words were missing a letter or two. I know reading aloud sounds kind of silly, but you wouldn't believe how many typos I've been able to find that way!

A few examples of some things that might not be caught by proofreading:

I couldn't understand, until the end of the day.

Here, the comma is unnecessary. When read aloud, it makes for an awkward pause. A simple deletion would fix that. :)

I sat down anyways by a cowboy and drove to school.

Here, "anyways" isn't technically a word. It's recognized only in the US as colloquial, meaning it's basically slang, so you really shouldn't use the word in print. Also, your verb is a bit off. By saying "and drove to school," it is implying that your character was the one driving. At least, that's how it reads. A better verb might be "rode."

"Yes, her breath stinks, it was worse than we thought."

So here, after the "stinks," a period or semicolon would work much better. This is because they are two separate clauses with their own verbs.

There are others, but you can mainly catch them with proofreading. :)

Now, for the STORY LINE.

It didn't really make much sense to me, and I found it rather bizarre. However, this isn't a bad thing. Some of our most famous authors have been our wackiest. (Dr. Seuss, anyone?)

Your imagination is obviously very vivid, and it shows in your ability to create such fantastic descriptions of things. While it veers off from the plot on occasion, it's not a bad piece. A good round of editing will make this piece better. :D

That was interesting. This story left me feeling confused. Is the girl hallucinating and acting delusional because she is not breathing or is it because she is dreaming. The biggest suggestion I have would be to take the huge paragraph and split it into smaller paragraphs.It is hard to read a paragraph that big.
My mind is really strange at this point of time. Right now it is to.
This is an awkward opening line. I would take out the "Right now it is to" because it doesn't make sense.You already told the reader that "my mind is really strange at this point of time"so the reader assumes you are talking about the present time in the paper.I have come to the conclusion that this story is totally illogical and that I can't really understand it. It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland"but that is a little bit less confusing than this story. Hopefully this review helps you. Have a good day. Fiction
