Personal Narrative: Combustion And Gun Fire
Combustion And Gun Fire
“The trouble is you think you have time” (Buddha). Time is something we take for granted; we always say witty quotes thinking it will prepare us for when time runs out although nothing can prepare us for sudden death. For as long as I can remember I had been around pure genuine love, one couples love story had a great impact on me. My oldest cousin Dustin fell in love at the young age of seven years old, he fell for a beautiful soul named Lindsey. I admired her personality and after years went on I became very close to Lindsey; we were like sisters. On July 18, 2012, my families lives changed forever and so did mine, Lindsey’s father Ricky murdered Lindsey and her mother Darlene. I still remember the day as If it is replaying in the back of my head. There’s often moments where certain smells or sights take me back to this day, it is a hard one to forget.

They said seven is too young to find your soul mate but they beat the odds with a twelve-year relationship. It reminded me that you should not give up on something because someone has a bad opinion about it. They were best friends and I watched them fall into something beautiful called love; although I was younger than both they still came to me for advice when they had arguments. I felt important when they came to me for help because they trusted my opinion. Watching them grow as a couple from seven to nineteen I learned an abundance from them both; they learned a lot from each other as

    “You will not find a better, more well rounded gun store in the entire DFW Metroplex. I have purchased several guns from Richard and his crew, and I can assure you that a more knowledgeable friendly staff can’t be found! I had them Cerakote my Glock 19,and I could not be happier with it. I’m really excited they started started custom making Kydex Holsters right there at the store.

    After 7 months of searching, we had finally found the location of the sixteenth artifact for our collection. After piecing together all of the stories and legends, we finally found a bit of truth. The Vial Of Fire was an ancient weapon that was said to be created by the Egyptians. In their time it was a medicine designed to give someone the ability to ignite in flames for a small amount of time, and was used mostly for cauterizing wounds of friends injured while building the pyramids. We had already found The Vial of Strength, and the The Vial of Speed from the same time period. Each of these vials had the last remaining ounces of the immensely powerful potions that made it possible for humans to make the pyramids on their own. After…

    I never thought me, of all people, would experience such a sorrowful day. I have tried to forget it time and time again; but the reality is I will always remember every miniscule detail, moment, word, and facial expression on that particular day. My heart managed to shatter into a million pieces, leaving me without a reason to pursue my existence. My salty tears freely rolled down my warm cheeks, causing my eyes to burn sensationally. I remember mourning on the comforting shoulders of my family members, as they too were consumed by their feelings. The most valuable lesson that beared a reservation in my spirit was to cherish every moment and loved one, for tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone. I wish I could have fathom this reality before the climactic tragedy struck me like a ton of bricks. Although death is normal, it seemed almost foreign when it abducted the life of my favorite uncle.…

    After hours of sitting in the passenger seat of a white Ford F-150 watching cornfield after cornfield after cornfield fly by my hallow stomach let out a roar like a lion on the African safari, my dad takes his eyes off the road and says,” skip lunch much?” Then I saw it, the light at the end of a hundred and eighty-six-mile-long tunnel on the left hand side of the road “Cracker Barrel.” I sat down at the table and know what I was going to order. Our waitress plopped down a half pound of perfectly prepared beef deliciousness topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. I devoured it, we were back on the road to castle Vanm. I woke up the next morning excited to shoot my first gun on the farm. My dad walked out and unsheathed a over and under…

    The first tone came across my radio at approximately 6:28pm. I turn my radio up and listen closely, the dispatcher comes on, “First tone for Acton Fire respond mutual aid to Milton Mills NH on Appleby road for a structure fire.” I immediately grab my phone, keys, and radio and race outside to my truck. In a matter of seconds I throw all my gear on, throw my helmet and gloves on the passenger seat, start the gps and head to the fire. As I make my way out of my dirt road, I can feel the adrenaline racing through my body. The excitement and nervousness runs through me, knowing that my first call as a volunteer firefighter was for a structure fire.…

    Yet another Thanksgiving, and I was stuck in my uncle’s basement watching the Redskins face off the Dallas Cowboys. Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, and various other famous athletes all grinned at me from their respective Wheaties boxes, seemingly mocking my pain. My uncle collected them and, for some reason, had decided the bright orange boxes would be a great decorative addition to the basement wall behind the television. I remember once, when I was younger, I was searching for a movie to watch and I accidentally brushed against a limited edition Michael Jordan box. The box began to teeter, and I immediately knew that I was doomed. All the boxes began to fall like dominos to the floor. My uncle, needless to say, was furious. Thus, it was seemingly fitting that the offended boxes, now realigned on the wall, would have the privilege to witness my torture by football.…

    Starting from a place I remembered as a teen, moving from a place that was warm to a place that had all four seasons; such as winter, spring, summer and fall. The First place that I grew up was surrounded by mountains. During the winter it was full of white snow, something that I was never used to seeing coming from California where all one would see was sandy beaches and the waves clasping one another. As I remember being so new to Park City, UT all I could see was the wonderful views of trees, mountains and people skiing or snowboarding. I have to say this was a fond memory because for the firs time I was actually able to experience the feeling of what winter was…
