Personal Narrative-Strife Academy

As my car climbed the hill, my heart sunk into my stomach. I parked as far away from my friends as I could and quickly exited the car, not once looking at them. Now it was every man for himself. Emerging into the open air, I suddenly became aware of myself. I could feel my puffy, blood-shot eyes. My palms became slimy. My fingers clinched into a fist and my nails dug into my skin. My sight blurred and my tunnel of vision tried to focus on the front door. Every step seemed more awkward than the last. Eyes pierced me from all sides. I felt naked. My body trembled like a sheep in the midst of wolves.

Then something wispy light touched my foot and I lost it. I jerked and started twisting, kicking, and generally flailing about. The airy creature slid up my leg with ease while I screamed my head off.

“How are you feeling?” She asks. “Okay.” I answer with every bit of energy I have left.

“Now this is going to kill ya,” He says while eye searching the area as if he has frightened himself.

On a Saturday morning, around 10am, my family was getting ready for my niece’s (Maritza) 4-year-old birthday party. After 12:30pm we were already at my sister’s (Adele) house, ready to give my niece a hug and her annual present. At the moment Maritza wasn’t home, so I stalled for a bit. Chatted with their neighbor, few high school friends, and their wife’s. Finally, she showed up along with her father. The first person she hugs is me, I’m her favorite uncle, according to her, as she hugs my legs and looked up and says, “hey uncle J.” I replied “hey?” with a bit of a curiosity on my mind. Her lip had a big red lump. I managed to not ask her what had happened on her lip. I’m thinking it’s a “I fell down” type accident. The party went off, and

“Obviously, can you HELP me up!” She then squatted down and helped me up. I rested against the bed as she spoke.

Ignoring me, he continued, "She broke up up with me because I bought her a simple neclace for her birthday not the diamond bracelet she wanted."

“I want you to leave this place.” Her grey eyes somehow become more frightening than earlier.

I think i found my destination. Sheer magnitude of energy arose from my body. I felt unreal. Seriously. Have you ever stop and question your existence. Who am i and why am i here? Detachment and utter numbness of “reality”. This anomalous out-of-body experience rush must means this is the end me? “ Mike i have to go to the hospital i think i'm dying.” I said panicking at my inner experience. I was an onlooker of this universe - at least it seemed. “ Brenda please relax, youre not dying. and stop crying!” he said as he walked me to his car. “ come on, I am going to take you to my house.” . From this moment i knew this isn't what i wanted to

“Yes Ash, Your little sister is going to get whipped, and that is a direct result of you assaulting the peacekeeper that tried to put her back in line.”

Startled by your mother's remark, you quickly blurt. "I'm still not feeling well. Is it alright, if I stay here a little longer to recover?"

Over spring break I spent the whole time with my grandma because my parents and my mom's mom, went on a croose. Me and my grandma had a lot of fun, so not going on a croose didn't matter that much. My grandma met my mom in the school parking lot, after my mom checked my out an hour after lunch. Then me and my grandma took the hour drive to get to her house. The next morning my grandma took her dog Ollie outside on a leash. Then everyone got there stuff together after we got dressed. Then we left for Brandson. Later that night me, my grandpa, and my grandma all went out to eat. "Do you know the one thing we left back at the house"? My grandpa asked my grandma right before we left. "what"? My grandma asked. "Ollie's cennal". My grandpa replied.

I walked around the student center it was pretty depressing and all. It was dark except fur windows on the side. Outside the window there was just draf grass and other stuff nothing out of the ordinary. The windowsseemed phony they were supposed to bring in light and all but they led to nowhere interesting. The dtudent center was pretty desolate no one was walking around except for the occasional group going up to buy food. All they could talk about was their internships and shooting the bull about they were bittersweet about leaving. I felt lonely and depressed, as I often did, I felt like I had to be doing something, but I didn't know what. Getting back to the point that sort of thing annoys nebabout people being bittersweet about leaving.

"Tsk tsk; don't yell. It's troublesome and besides why would I be scared of you? You are merely a vampire that needs blood to sustain life. Nothing more and nothing less" she ridiculed, enjoying seeing him seethe with anger.
