Personal Narrative: A Man Without A Gun
I don't want to hurt anyone, that's not the point. In fact, I'd much prefer not to steal either; it's unfortunate that this family is going to lose so much, but my kid needs to eat. That's not to say I feel bad about what I'm doing, I don't. Its just inconvenient for everyone involved. It's no ones fault that this is happening. Certainly not mine, it simply must be done. What can I do when I have bills to pay, a child to feed, and just got laid off? I told my Mother I was going to a job interview, she's watching the kid so that I can rob my old boss. I don't hold a grudge against him, it's not his fault; decisions had to be made, people had to be let go. I understand that. I just think it makes sense to get my money from the man who took it from me. I hope he understands that.
It's time to go inside, I bring no weapon, I mean him no harm. Regardless, I know him well. I'm 6'4 220 and he's a measly 5'6 140 or less. He is strongly against guns and if he spots me and chooses to find a weapon, I doubt anything he has would be of much use. The door is unlocked so I'm stepping inside. He should be asleep by now, it's 2am, and the lights have been off since midnight. Nothing could possibly go wrong. I planned this for weeks. His wife and kids are away in Ohio for a Skiing trip, leaving him home alone, and me with only one pair of eyes to worry about. I'm

He was a huge man, and although he wore a mask I could tell by the way he walked, hunched over as if in agonizing back pain that he was of an old age. However; by his sheer size I knew that even if he was seventy years old there was no way I could take him in a

    Have you ever wondered where you would be if you would have chosen another path? Have you ever wondered how that choice could have changed your life if you would have made it? Often I look back and think about my past and look at the places I have been and the things I have done. Some things I’m not proud of. Some of those things bring back vague memories. Whether they are good or bad they still come back to me. Everything we do is based upon choices. After we make those choices there comes consequences. We can never decide our consequences, they just come.…

    Mr. Hittson I totally apologize for Coltens actions. He is definately being raised better than that. I have had a long talk with him over this issue. I noticed this morning Colten seemed upset about something when he got dropped off. When he got into the school I texted him and told him to not let anything deter him in school if he is upset. He has been having girlfriend issues that I have been trying to guide him through and I think that is what has been wrong with him. He's usually not like this. He is being raised in a very good home with good guidance. I told him I will not tolerate him using profanity and disrespecting the teachers or the school. I also told him that in the future if he acts the same with future bosses, then he will be…

    As my younger cousin, Travis, walked into the living room of my house, he looked for interesting things he could look at and touch. He started to slowly walk toward the broken, bottom half of our entertainment center. My siblings and I, enjoying our Thanksgiving dinner, watched him carefully as he curiously reached for a handle of one drawer in the entertainment center that contained at least 50 movies. He was so close to opening it when my brother exclaimed, “Careful there! The last guy who did that… he died!” Travis slowly backed away, turned around, and ran to his mother, but the real question is Who died?…

    There has been many cases in which I have helped an outsider feel welcome. One time in particular is when I played tag with this little boy at church since he was new and no one else played with him. Originally, I was outside eating candy and talking to my friends at church. I noticed that this little boy was standing all alone watching all the other little kids play without him. I thought that maybe he was upset so I went over to him and asked if he wanted the rest of my gummy worms. He seemed nervous at first, but eventually he started talking to me. I learned that he was five years old and he was visiting his grandparents for the weekend. His older brother was outside playing basketball with some of the other older boys at the church, and…

I tried to get someone else to take the meeting and couldn’t find anyone willing to do it. When I came home, I called the police department to tell them about the man in the backyard.
