It was a typical Friday night for Chantilly and Johnny, the big and little hand were now place on 12:00 , it was midnight exactly and the sound of their mom snoring was like music to their ears, that meant it was time. Chantilly and Johnny looked at each, the clock and nodded. “Let’s go.” They had devious intentions.As the tipped toed out the door, hearing nothing but the creeks in the floor and the sound of their mother snoring. They ran through the backyard past her bedroom, trying not to make to much noise, stepping through the yard, hearing the cracking sound of the sticks. Ducking the censored house light so it wouldn’t shine through neighborhood on that ark night.She remembers vividly, the only thing from keeping the outside from being …show more content…
Below the stereo is an ashtray with squares in there, as they continuing cruising, Chantilly sparks up a cigarette, smoke blowing through the car and out the window as she inhales her nicotine buzz that is killing her lungs and makes her body tremble and relax in the same essence. The feeling of freedom overwhelms her body. As her blue eyes take in the dark scenery, that passes by and what was once clear becomes a blur, the stars out there glisten, while music fills their ears, and smoke blows. She watches as they drive down dead roads passing cornfields admiring the beauty and taking in the scent of what smells like rain from the night before. The most refreshing smell. With many miles to go and no one on the road, her brother hits the gas pedal,throwing her back laughing. As his foot stretches and he presses on the gas pedal even more “Ayee, faster!” she yells, with the speed running through her vains, and feeling an edernelanl rush.As her eyes see the speedmeter passes 100mph. Her brother is whipping down the road, making turns sharper than a razor, swerving all over the road, her heart beats faster and faster, and she just laughs and keeps yelling to go

    As soon as she pulled onto the highway, the lightning flashed across the sky and she knew it would start raining soon. Ruth was unfamiliar with the curvy roads, and slowed down when the rain started forming a lake on the road in front of her, making it difficult for her to see the lines on the highway. Dark clouds hung slightly above the road and the sounds of rain beating against the car bothered her. “Perhaps I shouldn’t have chosen this day to ghost hunting,” she said as the inside windows fogged over, turning on the defroster she calmed down and sang along with the radio.…

    The first house my father built was constructed room by room and took more than 25 years to be built, a continuous work in progress. The original house was built in the standard square format without standard electricity and started with just four rooms: living room, dining room, kitchen and bedroom. The bathroom was located about 70 feet away in a little draw or valley from the house, which during the winter could be cold as the wind blew snow in during the most inopportune moments. New square rooms were attached to old square rooms as the house expanded outward to accommodate our growing family.…

    I come from a world where the only thing that is constant, is change. Changing states, changing houses, and changing schools. Unlike most other kids, I don't have a childhood home where I made countless memories, in fact, my earliest memories as a child all consist of cardboard moving boxes, along with unimaginably long car rides to foreign places. I don’t have a door marked to show how I've grown over the years, and I don't have a bedroom wall thick with paint covering over colors I chose as a child. Truthfully, often times when I was younger, and would see someone with these things, I was tempted to be envious and couldn't help but to think how lucky they were to have such stability. As a result of this, I spent a large portion of my childhood…

    As I was writing my personal narrative for my composition 1 class, it easily made my mind boggle. After I had got started on my personal narrative, it was easy for me to keep writing and keep following along the story line. The main strength of mine that the essay played to was my creativity and my flexibility for different writings, because I have never written an essay as serious and sad as this one, but I did have to add my happy ending when I finished the story. I wanted it to be very attention grabbing with a twist, but I also wanted it to be very emotional.…
