Personal Narrative-My Uncovering Water At The Frosty Bridge
Everyday I walk past the flowing icy water
In the small stream that divides our town, listening to the flowing water hit the rigid rocks below,
The frosty winds in my face.
I begin to imagine myself atop of the steel railing of the bridge looking below onto the water.
The wind blows my hair and my chapped lips take a breathe in.
I fall, arms spread.
I feel as if floating downward.
I can feel my head bleeding out, my spinal cord twisted in more ways than ever imagined
My veins began to fill with cold water.
It isn’t like I could feel my fingertips before but now the numbness grew across my everything.
I lay in the icy flowing water looking at the rock on the shore.
I come back to the real world at the end of the bridge.
I’m too afraid

    Science is study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. In the short story of “Follow the Water” many of the scientific facts about Mars can be found in the article “What Would it Take To Live There.” The first fact in “Follow the Water” is the deadly radiation that is found on Mars. “The cabin is made of thick black plastic, sturdy enough to protect us from the solar radiation, which can kill you—give you terrible skin cancer. That’s what the Firsts found out. Some of them had to have their noses removed.” In fact if you travel to Mar you could be exposed to the radiation which could cause severe memory loss, brain damage, and cancer. There is so much radiation in Mars because unlike…

    Our whole wagon train met at the front entrance and we left Fort Kearney together. It was a nice stay, but we had to keep moving. As we were traveling on the trail, we were stopped by the South Platte River. We need to cross the river in order to follow a stream that heads to the North. We check if there were bridges around the place since the water was shallow, but we saw no bridge. We decided to use the sand bar we saw so we can get across the river. As we crossed the river, Michael almost fell off the sand bar with his 13 year old son. Luckily Curtis pulled him up and we were successfully able to cross the river.…

    July 8, 1982, I murdered my first victim. Her name was Wendy Lee Coffield. She was only 16, just a runaway, probably dropped out of school. I strangled it with it’s own clothes. I dumped the body in the Green River. Like my favored outdoor sexual spots, these were some of the locations I also dumped these objects, what I like to refer to these outcast women as. Also in the Green River was the body of Debra Lynn Bonner, 23, Marcia Faye Chapman, 31, Cynthia Jean Hinds, 17, Opal Charmaine Mills, 16, Tracy Winston, 19.…

    For a few summers after my daddy went to heaven, I found myself taking long walks into the woods, a far piece behind the back of my house. When I was young I’d play there every day and over time the trails grew wide. I knew those chaotic mazes as well as my own reflection in the Miner’s River. Sometimes I’d count the steps it took to reach a fork on a specific trail, having already decided which trail to take till I arrived.…

    We were ready. Paddles in hand, canoe by our side, personal floatation devices, knee pads, and cameras. The afternoon sun shined on the lake, reflecting it across the calm waters. Crowds of people were enjoying their Sunday afternoon on North Beach at Devil’s Lake State Park. Young children stumbled on the moist sand and shallow waters as they tried to catch tadpoles with their small buckets. Soothing, a gentle breeze passed by as we walked towards the edge of Devil’s Lake. Marveling at the majestic mountain of cedars around the lake and smelling the damp sand, my dad, little sister, and I were all set to take on our first wilderness inquiry; canoeing across a lake. It was safe to say that we were in for an exciting adventure…

    In the wee hours of the morning my life is the embodiment of a living, breathing dichotomy. Awakening with a wry little smile on my face, I knew I had dreamed of the river, big brown trout, and sweet 3wt bamboo rods. My body screams – “Where’s the coffee”, while my brain questions the sanity of getting up this early on a Saturday. Oblivious to the cacophony, the hairs on the back of my neck tingle. Betraying logic, they forewarn that this pre-dawn moment was the premonition of a great day ahead.…

    After that, we decided to meet up at Mooney’s Bay at three o’clock sharp. This was my first winter in Canada and I felt quite nervous about tobogganing. I was in second grade at the time and I was terribly afraid of the possibility of injuring myself. It was a hard decision, but I knew I had to go tobogganing one way or another, so I decided to go with Henry to Mooney’s Bay.…
