Roo Panes Open Road Narrative

When I woke up again from my deep sleep, I got re-dressed and headed out to my car. The snow was still deep as ever, the wind was still bitter, dry, and freezing cold. I warmed my car before I headed out and I headed back inside for a little while to wait for the car to heat. As I sat inside the warm and cozy house my mother warmed me to watch out for the thick spots of snow and ice because I could slide and crash into something. As I continued to sit in the warm house, I started to remember things my parents would tell me about people sliding off the road and going off the road. Of course I had the thought in my head that it would

On a cold Thursday morning, school was in session but I was starting on my way to Lake Winnibigoshish. I was going up there with my five foot nine, one hundred forty pound dad and my five foot nine, two hundred thirty pound neighbor. We stopped in at the Senior Center for some donuts, and went to Holiday Gas Station for some coffee and a cold drink.

One dark, howling night in October, I was camping at Lake Greeson all alone. It was freezing. I felt as if I opened the tent there would be ten feet of snow. The campfire needed to be put out before I went to bed.

We setout with our nalgines full of watter and we thought that we would not even use halph, But we undermested the heat and the terain of the trail. At first it was nice and shadie walk through nature. There where lots of trees and felids of crops surrounding us, and I loved it. We where all happy untill we had to climb a 200 foot h, and to make things even worst the clouds have moved and now the sun is bakeing. When we made it to the top, we where all

As we had began or first ride down the hill with my brother in front of my father and I behind my father slid down the slope quite fast to my enjoyment. After we had reached the bottom of the hill my little brother jumped up and announced that it was the best ride he had ever been on. I smiled and turned to dad much to my shock. For he was covered in snow as if he had just scaled a mountain in a blizzard. And much to my surprise my little brother was untouched.

It had been a long tiring day ,my sister and i had gone to our mimi’s house for the day. She took us to see the movie in side out, my sister balling at the end. We also when out to eat at ihop, and shopping. My parents slept all day so they wouldn’t be tried to drive all night to Colorado and get there at about noon. We didn't leave until about 1 or 2 am, but I couldn't sleep I was to excited. Every time I closed my eyes eyes they just bursted open again. I was to excited to start driving, “can we go yet?” An hour of waiting, listening to the clock tick, we finally left! My sister watched frozen over, and over, and over again i think i heard let it go a milion times! I looked out the window, staring at the sea of green

“To mountain to get wood and maybe an elk.” I read the note with a glum face. I had just gotten home for lunch when I read the note on the kitchen table. I finally decided that it was okay for my dad to be on his own sometimes but he needed help with a lot of things too. I heated up a quick lunch and was about to start eating when my dad walked in the back door. “If you want to go, you better get ready now!” I looked at him with surprise and shook my head yes. I ran down to my room and changed into what I needed to stay warm in the snow. After grabbing my overalls and a heavy snow coat, I ran out the back door. Dad was in the truck while I went to the back seat of the truck and threw in my overalls and coat. I spun around to the other side

This piece is comfortable to me by reminding me of a more uncomfortable and nervous time in my life. I spent a semester in Denmark going to an immersion school. I remember the feeling of being in a new culture, being very confused, and very far outside my comfort zone. I think of riding on trains and watching everything fly by because that was what I was doing while listening to this song.

My dad and I had always lived in New York City. After 15 years of experience and the guidance of my older brother, you could say that I knew my way around town. The coffee shops with the best lattes, the highest swinging swing sets in every park, and most importantly, the buildings with the best views. You would think that after living here for so long I would get sick of seeing the view of the city every day, but it just never gets old. The best spot is at the top of my apartment building, on the far northeast corner, looking over the horizon and onto the Hudson. There was no other way of completing my day, no matter the rain, snow, or blazing heat I sat on that rooftop every night as the sun disappeared, along with the overworked New Yorkers for the night. The most interesting part is, every single night, the color of the sky is always slightly different. No sunset was ever the exact same. Anyways, as I was walking back down the stairs to my condo, 7B, I got the jitters in my stomach, I was beyond excited for tomorrow, the first day of Winter Break. My older brother, Todd, was taking me and my best friend Hannah up to Vermont to go skiing. I opened our apartment door, took a quick shower, and fell asleep with Cooper on my lap while watching Full House.

It was a very cold and windy night, the wind was so loud it sounded like one of our members from our pack howling. The cold winter was slowly creeping up on us. The sky had never been darker than tonight it was a grey and black mix, kinda like our fur coats that everyone trembled over, but it was faintly streaked with purple. My two brothers, two sisters, and I have been our own pack since our parents died when they went out hunting following the rich smell of sickness and weakness towards town. We hadn’t eaten in days and our prey were finally outsmarting us as much as we hated to admit it and we were slowly starving to death. Usually on the prairie we could find dear or even bunny rabbits that were just waiting to be teared apart from our

In the morning, we found a seagull gently flying in the air at sunrise. The sunrise was bright as glory. We quickly sailed to follow the soft seagull and found land. I was so delighted, I wanted to jump into the sea and swim towards the shore. We sailed on a rough land of rocks and sand. It was dry as a dessert. Our ship was breaking down and we needed to repair our ship to

T’was the nigh before thanksgiving break, and all through the dorms, not a freshman was stirring because all had already left. The alarm clock went off at four thirty the next morning and like a flash bulb memory, I was 4 years old, being woken up by my parents at the crack of dawn to catch an early flight to fly to Canada. I don’t know why this memory has lasted, perhaps my first time to Canada? My extreme love of flying? Whatever it was, even at that age I remember very specific details about that trip, from what the airport looked like to what color hair the person who taught me to ski had -He was blond and had a very strong accent. During my travels home for break, my flight to Chicago was delayed over five hours in Denver because Chicago

As a young seven year old I had just mastered how to ride my bike perfectly. I was taking a ride and saw a driveway that looked fun to speed down, as I rode through the forestry driveway I came to a sudden stop. Where my face had just met the hard cold ground, immediately I started to cry.

After sledding all day and being out in the cold, we finally decide to go get some fast food, and it was either McDonald's or Wendy’s. After we got our food we talked for a while, warmed up in the building and then started to get ready to head home. After the day of sledding I caught a cold because I get sick very easily but to me, it was worth the sickness to be able to have fun with my friends and have a snow day for once in a while. I had a lot of fun sledding and playing in the snow with my family and friends and even though I got sick I made some pretty great memories on this awesome snow

After that we sat in silence for about 20 minutes until the cold began to nip at my feet and the tips of my fingers which made me very restless but I tried to do my best so I would not scare away the deer. When we hit the 60 minute mark I was bored out of my mind, I thought I would go crazy, but suddenly my Father grabbed my coat and pointed out Words the west side of the field that we were watching. I
