Personal Narrative: My Father's Death Of M. G.
I was only 10 years old at the time. I still didn’t really know what was going on around me but I knew one thing, my father’s death was no suicide. There was no way that my father “accidentally” shot himself twice in the back of the head, it's literally and physically impossible. they were covering up the truth. I constantly tried to investigate my father’s death but I was only known as “Timmy the troublemaker”. No one in the police department let me in on the case but who could blame them? Trusting a 10-year-old? It would have been absurd if they did! So I decided that if the police weren’t going to help me, I was going to look into my father’s death myself.

On a rainy afternoon while older sister Jenny and younger brother Richard were doing their homework and mum was cooking vegetable soup in the kitchen, I decided to head into the forest where my father’s body had been found. I wanted to find out the truth behind my father’s death and not the lies I’ve been constantly fed for the last few days. I stood there at the entrance of the forest, and suddenly, I began to feel extremely nervous and afraid. I was about to enter the same forest my father died in, it was extremely frightening but

M.G couldn’t just be random so I decided to think. I thought about the initials “M.G” over and over again in my head until it finally clicked. M.G were the initials to Mouhamed Gouicem, an individual who was incapable of feeling guilt, remorse or empathy for their actions. He was a notorious serial killer that was reported missing 15 years ago! The police eventually gave up looking for him and he was presumed dead. Then I thought to myself, “Why my father?” My father probably didn’t even know who Mouhamed Gouicem was. I handed the weapon over to the police and in their labs, after conducting a few test confirmed that the gun I had found was the murder weapon. I was right after all, I knew my father didn’t kill himself, I knew

    I don’t remember much about how my family died, I was just a three year old boy; Keenan Waren. All I can remember is it was Thanksgiving day with my whole family. I know it was this day because the smell of the turkey was burnt into my memory, and it’s also what the people at the orphanage told me as I was growing up. Something else I can recall is seeing a tall, bulky shadow holding a green flame in his hand after the lights shut off. Everyone was screaming, but I am still unsure of what was happening to them. My mom carried me out into the rainy night in front of the house in my carseat, and I was crying for the teddy bear my aunt gave me for my first birthday. I kept crying, so my mom covered me with blanket and ran back inside to grab it…

    I looked around and I wasn’t in my room anymore, I was in the hospital during my grandpa’s surgery. The waiting room was cold and sterile and the smell of antiseptic was so strong I could taste it. Waves of uneasiness washed over me as if they were trying to drown me. My grandma and my mother were sitting in the room with me and they looked just as scared. I remembered how long my grandpa was in surgery to get his windpipe removed, how I had thought that I wouldn’t make it through the hours he was and that if he didn’t then I wouldn’t make it for much longer afterward.…

My parents had decided this was the perfect place to raise me and my brother who is two years older than me. I didn’t understand much then, but from what I can remember the only problems I had was what flavor of ice cream I wanted when my father took me to the ice cream shop and which Disney channel show was on. But then, as I thought things were just fine, On one summer night I heard noises in my parents’ bedroom and I overheard my favorite hero crying in the bedroom and saying he needed to tell us something terrible had happened. As he sat me down on his lap and told me that grandfather had passed away. My grandfather had been diagnosed with lung cancer shortly after he came from India to America too visit us.

    I remember staring at the wall with my face feeling hot and wet. The look of confusion and sadness on my father’s face brought tears to my eyes. This memory stained my room forever. This memory tainted my perception of the house. The house slowly transformed into a less innocent version of itself. The feeling of not wanting to forgive was the most painful of them all. I did not understand why she did what she did but it was a fact and we all have to accept facts. I knew that this was the event that would change my life forever. This made me want to leave the house that I so dearly loved before and make something better of…

    “The defendant is…not guilty,” said the judge. Yes, my plan actually worked. I can’t believe that Herb actually made everybody agree that I was innocent. I actually got away with killing my idiotic father. Oh I despised him so much, he would beat me and yell at me for no apparent reason. I remember that day like it was yesterday, I went to the drugstore and bought myself a switchblade knife. I was so irritated and I was ready to do anything to get rid of that old hag. I walked into the apartment and he was sitting down at the table. I snuck up behind him and stabbed him in the chest as hard and fast as I possibly could. He yelled then turned around and looked at me with a shocked look then fell on the ground. Right when he died, I felt devastated but also overjoyed because I wasn’t going to get abused anymore, however, I also lost my dad.…

    By the time I was eight I knew the whole story, from my grandmother who sat around sewing and making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for my lunch before I went to daycare. She had told me how the killer was never known, seen, or heard, but that his presence will live in infamy, no matter how hard we tried to forget the past. The past consisted of commotion, forcing the paramedics to move like flames across a burning sheet, discombobulation as they reached her corpse. She had gone cold because phantoms couldn’t resist playing tricks with someone’s life in the balance. She was…

    My dad was extremely involved in my life especially when I was younger. I was a daddy’s girl one hundred percent growing up. My dad got me involved in all the sports I partook in. Encouraging me, giving me lessons, and helping me become better in any way he could. My mom was normally just there for moral support but my dad was the one to push me. He encouraged me to be good at anything I wanted to do. My dad played such a strong role in my life, and helped me become who I am today. The influences he forced on me created many of the interests I still have today. I feel as if I would be a different person if he weren’t there while I was growing up.

    When my step father committed suicide, it was the most shocking yet influential experience of my life. The whole situation expanded my understanding of mortality, spirituality, and of just how fragile happiness is. I can still remember the day that it happened; It was unlike any other day. I was in school when brother picked me up after lunch. We met up with my mother, and brother at my grandmother's house. The entire atmosphere was off. No one was acting like themselves. Immediately I knew something was wrong, even if their expressions and body language were not obvious enough. After sitting in the living room for what seemed like an eternity, I went into the next room where I found my mother who was crying, and when I asked what was wrong…
