Personal Narrative: Montressor
Tears pouring down off my face, I can gradually visualize my fate. I can hear the footsteps slowly and slowly dissolve. Overhearing the rasping voice of Montressor, I had concluded, I, myself have been deceived. As my belligerent attitude gets in the way, I started grappling the chains violently. I was desperate for assistance, but being forceful and dependent will not be expedient. As I try struggle to be nonchalant, my satisfaction to get vengeance tenfold. Since the rusty chains are rigid, I swept my feet back and forth to dig. Hours upon hours, no significant progress has been made, No sight of anything productive or useful. I have been defeated, with vexation, I stomped my feet upon the ground.
As my feet were weary, I felt a razor edge, I use my feet and my keen eyes to scrutinize the razor edge, turns out, the sharp edge was actually a decayed bone. The yellow, white bone with the sharp trowel edge was lying below my feet. I tried to use my feet to pick up the bone, but no luck yet. I tried again after stretching my legs and still no luck. I tried once more and yes it happened. I lifted it up to my arm, grasped it, and used it to get me out of these chains. I started carving the chain. A simpleton like Montresor leaving me here to die, impossible. I

I had a dream about me drinking wine the size of a few planets. I thought that I slept so long that all the toxins in my body are gone. I woke up and the thought that it was weird that the color of the bones in the catacombs didn’t decay or change at all, and the wine was still there for me to drink. I can finally obtain my desired drink. I drank and was satisfied. The wine was very delicious, it quenched my thirst, and it was very refreshing. I could die and I would be fine with it. My coordination started to get poor. My liver started to deteriorate. When my liver was gone, I died peacefully. No one ever found my corpse because no one went to the

    As I heard Montresor calling my name I stayed silent in the pitch black darkness of this trap.Still yearning for the Amontillado that I was deprived and tricked into thinking was in this cellar I waited until I thought he was far long gone into the chambers I started to look around as my eyes started to adjust to the darkness of the cellar in which I was fettered.I saw a key it was far out of my reach but if I stretched as far as I could I would be able to reach it.Since Montresor only put the chain around my waist my leg were free to roam as far as the could possibly go.I managed with great struggle to pick the key up with my feet and then my hands and I successfully unlocked the chain from my waist and was as free as a trapped man could…

    Unburdening my jaws and slowly sliding my teeth over my froze, blood losted leg. Surprisingly, when biting down I do not feel anything. The numbing temperature must have made the feeling leave my leg. Biting down harder, tasting the dirt off my fur on my tongue, and sensing the spiky hair touch my tongue. I chew my foot until it is mangled and the bone is the only thing left to go through. Blood turning the snow crimson. Gnawing at the bone now, trying to escape this animal holding nightmare. My bloody teeth finally chop through my leg bone. I cringe to the ground, in relief. The red oozing substance coming out of the end of my mangled leg, crystallizing as the frigid wind sweeps over my numb of a…

    Imagine being out in the fields hunting with your father. It has been a long day and a spitted warthog hangs between you. All of a sudden you are ambushed! An enemy tribe attacks you and your father. You fight using your makeshift spear but are overwhelmed by the number of tribesmen. You are hit in the head with a rock and fall unconscious. When you wake you are being loaded into a great wooden monster. You cringe in fear as you and your fellow captives are herded into this great wooden beast. You scream in protest at the white men who have chained you but they just beat you on the head with their rifles. You are taken into a dark and disgusting hold. The prisoners next to you are screaming in fear. The smell of waste and vomit permeates everything. As a white man chains you down below you think of your family and realize you are never going to see them again. Sleep comes slowly because of the cries of pain and misery; the rocking of the floor eventually puts you to sleep. A long time has passed. Your days consist of sleeping in your own filth, eating a disgusting porridge, and rarely seeing outside your hold. But one day the hold is opened and bright light blinds you. You are lifted to your weakened legs and led outside. The land is alien to you, and white men are everywhere. You are paraded in front of a great throng of white people. The humiliation is great as you are poked and inspected. Eventually you are shackled and loaded onto a horse-drawn cart. The ride is long and uncomfortable and the destination more frightening. You have no idea what is going to happen to you and are very much afraid. You come to a great house and are taken to the fields around the house. You are given into the custody of a great white brute. He puts you into a small cottage with other black men. You have a very difficult time understanding their languages but eventually they get a message across to you: You are a slave, and will live the rest of your days as one.…

    Blood flowing out of my skull and hands. I can feel my whole head throbbing. The surges of pain continue over and over. I decide to pull strength from within to get up to check out the quad. I soon realize that the crack I heard was the snapping of the axle rod forcing the tire to be bent and rendering the quad un-drivable. Leaving the quad behind, I decided to walk back to camp. Of course I forgot my phone back at camp not planning that I would be taking a mouthful of dirt. As I walk I notice a white figure out of the corner of my eye. Since I was hurt and not sensible, my first thought was that this figure is a flesh seeking monster ready to gobble up my entire body whole. Given the fact that I actually believed that, I began to quicken my pace from a walk to a jog to a sprint. Just as I was ready to fall over and die of exhaustion, I notice an orange glow near me. This time it wasn’t a monster it was light coming from my camp’s fire. After my lengthy journey, I reached my dad and he rushed over to me baffled by my injury. With tears in my eyes, I sat down and began to regurgitate the whole experience. That night as I drift off into the abyss that was my dreams, I settled on the fact that the white figure was only the tail of a squirrel. I guess I deserved that fright given the fact that I did invade his…

    Grim Reaper

    The sun was just setting over the trees and I could feel the fear start to set in. it started at my feet and worked its way up my body, taking me as its prisoner. Know it was going to be harder to see my pursuer. Not that I wanted to see it. I started to walk a little bit faster through the damp, ancient forest. I needed to get to the beach as fast as I could before it got completely dark. As I started to jog toward the sound of the beastly ocean I tripped on an old twisted root and landed on the damp and rotting floor of the forest. I got up and wiped my face on my sleeve, trying to get the disgusting decomposing crap off of my face. I spit to get the musty taste of leaves and worms out of my mouth. I started toward the roar of the ocean and that’s when I heard it, the sound of running foot steps behind me. I didn’t even need to look behind me to see what was coming after me, I already knew. I don't know how I knew, I just did. I started running even faster until the wind was screaming like a banshee in my ears. The trees slapped me in the face, cutting me, hot blood reaching for my chin. My heart was beating to the rhythm of Indian war drums. My feet to the speed of a drum roll. Behind me I could hear branches snapping like bones and footsteps pounding the ground. I just kept running. I needed to get to the beach. I could taste the salt in the air, and I could feel the oceans stomach vibrate around me. I was close. My legs started to feel like they had weights on them, but if I slowed down my fate would surely be out of a horror movie. I ran, no, sprinted to my tired body’s limits. THUD! I felt my face hit the earth. I had tripped again! I started crying, liquid fear running down my face. I knew that I had no chance. I tried to get up and run anyway, but I was pushed back down from behind. The creature took me by the shoulder, and like a feather, flipped me around to face it. Right before me stood the Grim Reaper. I screamed, but no sound…

    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.…

    “I shrank back- but the closing walls pressed me resistlessly onward. At length. For my seared and writhing body, there was no longer an inch of foot hold on the firm floor of the prison.” Closer and closer I was getting to the pit. I was thinking about everything that has happened. I didn’t want to die. It was too soon for me. Suddenly the walls stopped. I was confused and in shock. I heard a female voice, and it was a thick southern accent. She was telling me to fall into the pit and that everything would be ok. I asked her “ why would I fall into the pit? I don’t know who you are? All that would happen is me dying?” She said “ trust me I have a good idea if you want to get out of here.”…

    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…
