Dirt road

I dream of bumpy dirt roads and spontaneous, unpredictable adventures that keep my heart always wanting more. I dream of freedom and play, a nine to five job never being my forte. I dream of small towns and big cities that leave my soul searching for more, saying this could be what I’m looking for. I dream of breaking free to let myself be. So at night, when I dream of bumpy dirt roads, maybe someday the end of that same dirt road in my dreams will lead me to what I’ve been searching for all along:

is Hard To Find.” Ranging from the dirt road to the big black hearse, they inspire the truth to unfold like words could not do otherwise. “The dirt road was hilly and there were sudden washes in it and sharp curves on dangerous embankments” (O’Connor). The way the road is described suggests that it is a metaphor for the story itself. The story did not start out calm and smooth just as the dirt road as described in the statement above. Then, using the dirt road as the metaphor, it could

After about maybe an hour of driving around all I remember is crawling out of a car that was upside down on top of a dirt pile. Once I climbed out of the passenger side window I kept screaming and crying. I was yelling, “this is just a dream, this is just a dream.” But it wasn’t, it was real life. I called my

Crash A typical day at my grandparent’s cabin in the Black Hills consists of a lot of sitting around and just hanging out. Some days the whole family will go on a four wheeler ride for most of the day. Sometimes we will go do something like visit a cave or drive to Rapid City or Custer or Hill City or some other town out there. My Grandma cooks the best meals. You look forward to every single meal knowing that it was going to be a great one. My dad’s side of the family includes Stetson and Nick

The longer they drove, the slower Joker went and their stops became more frequent. The vegetation along the roads, left to itself, encroached on the pavement. If anyone had been that way on four wheels they had to have driven in the middle of the road. The gravel driveways were not only being edged out from the sides, weeds were sprouting from the middle as well, showing no signs of passage. The paved drives were less obvious. The men relied on dust and pollen settling on the blacktop, undisturbed

When I ponder the first 17 years of my life, I realize that I have taken my life for granted. I’ve never actually thought about how soon my life could end, not seeing my loved ones ever again, and never being able to enjoy life’s glorious moments. Having a miraculous, close encounter with death has changed how I view life. I pay attention to the details of my life more, and the small things in life don’t seem to aggravate me as much as they did in the past. I was born on August 19th in 1998 in

A Visit He pointed to the grove of trees beyond the dirt road. “That’s where your grandmother is from.” “Well, where exactly? That one green tree or the green tree?” She cracked a smile. It all looked the same to her. The muddy people, the dirt roads and the sea of green. A cow passed by on the dirt road, it’s tail swishes back and forth like the orange glow of a cigarette. He didn’t know how to tell her that he didn’t know, letting pride sit in place of false memories. “They are going to kill
