Personal Narrative: Time Square
As I walk alone thru what seems to be a ghost town with no human’s in existance its cold and dreary out. The wind gusts behind me I’m alone searching for my family who went missing two days prior. As I wander through this town I scream out yelling for someone...anyone. Fearful I am wondering what I should do next. As I continue down the street of what I thought was Time Square in New York City I see an enourmus burst of light. Suddenly everything goes dark and I feel my body falling wondering where I am going to land. Everything’s hazy but as I start to get my vision back I notice faces all around me I seem to be in some secret room. It’s dark and hard to breathe all these strangers have looks of fear in their eyes. As they start to question me whether I was okay or not I start questioning them on what this place is an what just happened. …show more content…
As my mind spins and my eyes wonder across the room searching for answers, these people who I just met began to explain everything. The place I fell into happened to be some kind of safe house which they called a ‘bomb shelter’. Then it struck me that the burst of light I saw earlier was indeed a bomb, now I was scared for my life, for my families life… Who was on this mission to kill humankind? Why were they after the United States? Was I safe? All these questions ran across my mind making me feel nauseated I needed to lay down I needed

    A slight breeze blew throughout the dandy forest, swaying the stiff lifeless trees and blowing the black stained leaves across my bare white feet. As I stumbled across the dead landscape, a slight fog swam around blending in with the increasingly falling snow. Hundreds of dark wood surrounding me seemed to slowly cave in, creating a narrow cave-like passage. An eerie feeling swept over me, and I stopped completely, analysing every detail around me. The smog became thicker, blinding the scenery and almost completely covering my vision. I sensed an inhuman presence watching me, and flinched whenever a snapping sound came from a faraway distance. I slowly turned around and began pacing in the direction I came from. The fog smothered me but I kept running,…

    It seemed like I was wandering into a different dimension. My senses were becoming acquainted to new feelings: guttural whispers, excruciating odour, ponderous glass-like air and the cemented, pungent, taste of death! As I opened the door candlelight rose to greet me but who lit them? I was informed that the secluded house I was purchasing has been unoccupied forever.…

    Who could've thought moving states could cause such a change? I never knew it could… this much. As the for sale was ripped out of my yard, we returned back into my previous house. This was the day we moved to hot and big Texas. We hauled all our boxes, big and small, short and tall, into the moving truck. “Let's go,” my mom yelled. We started our journey to Texas, and I could already feel sorrow in my heart.…

    I always keep this poem and picture in my wallet. I take it everywhere with me because it means quite a lot to me in two very different ways. One of those ways is because it holds sentimental value. When I was younger I learned to read very late in life and I was always so embarrassed of that. My father knew that I was struggling and bought me the book, Where the Sidewalk Ends. It is a book full of poems and little pictures written by Shel Silverstein. I remember opening the book to ta random page, and it was the page with this poem. I then remember my dad asking me to read it to him. I was so uncomfortable, even thought I was just going to be reading to my dad. He gave me some words of encouragement, and even thought I was not able to read…

    Today was the day. The big day. My election for Lieutenant Governor of Division 2B for Key Club, an international service club, was today. Fear and anxiety pricked my skin in rapid movements emanating from every pore. I rehearsed my speech for the fifth time that day. Upon arrival at the Fairfax Library, I urged myself to remain calm. I quickly scouted out the other girls who were present; one girl was dressed professionally with a folder in her hand. I knew that was my competition. The girl spoke eloquently and genially, she radiated enthusiasm and a certain warmth that I did not have. With every question that was asked, she answered with a smooth smile and high-pitched tone that was dripping with sincerity. I bristled inside; I had just been slapped. I was shrouded in a cloud of anxiety and anxiousness. Suddenly, I was dragged from my reverie.…

    There is no specific standard for normal in Union Square. Walking around the area, you will see all kinds of people; some people will be battling their stress away in a chess match like, the two guys sitting by the edge of the street with a table and board set up blasting through each others defenses, others are rushing through all the traffic try to reach their destinations, and in the back ground you will see people sitting in all kinds of places, on the steps, ledges, even on the floor, and we can not forget about those playing Pokémon go. As New Yorkers, We see all these things going on around us but we never pay much mind to any of what we could noise of the city. However, today was different.…

    You’re walking down a pathway with some of your friends, when you realize that you are all on your own. Nobody is around you except some scary looking figures with blood in their mouth and others that look like ghosts and scary monsters. You look left and right and the only thing you could see is fog. You look at your friends and they look as if they just seen someone pass away. You all remain silent and the only noise that you are able to here is the laughing of some clouds and yelling from other people. Although you hear these sounds you do not know where they are coming from. This is the moment when you fear your life the most.

You want to run and get somewhere, where you know its safe as soon as possible but you know you want to stay with your friends, all together. You could taste the cold air and breeze in your mouth and it seems like time is passing very slowly. One of your friend whispers “Is everyone okay?” and you remain silent. You are so scared with the rest of your other friends that you are unable to speak. Your body feels like it is going under shock, when suddenly, something comes out of a bush that is beside the group of your friends and yourself, you hear the rustling sound of the leaves, seems like someone came out from there. Everyone freezes and tries not to make any noise and listens for further noises. They know that their life is in danger, and do not know how to react. When all of you guys look back at the same time, you see an old wrinkly man, who seems like he has been shot in one arm and is bleeding unstoppably. He has an ax in one hand and is carrying a saw in the other hand. He immediately drops the ax and turns on the saw; this is the same engine sound you heard earlier. Your friends and you scream and run as fast as you can when you seem to see a…
