My Most Frightening Moment (ESSAY)
Growing up people have witnessed a few tragic moments as part of their normal lives including car accidents, plane crashes, animal attacks or just the destruction caused by Mother Nature and just like everybody else I was one of them.

The girls screamed with fear, hearing the bone shattering cracks of his bones. Some of the guys decided to close their eyes and others decided to look away as the doctor asked us to get a closer look at the human’s reproductive system. We all glanced at his heart, his lungs, and all of his vital organs including his gall bladder which looked like a deflated balloon. Seeing the sight of what was going on was very horrific but from I remember the worst was yet to come.
He slowly began cutting through his rigid flesh with different set of scalpels from the side of his neck down to the side of his abdomen. What we saw scared me half to death as I witnessed large quantities of maggot’s pouring out from
