Personal Narrative: Perishment
Madly in love with a nickel in my hand, it reflected light like a shining star before 6 o’clock in the morning. To me, the nickel represented the joy of hope. As I began to walk home, beside the slimy lake, there was a log with six or seven toads. They were the largest toads I had ever seen. I came to take a closer look. I noticed the spotted white and blue pattern on their backs, which probably meant that they are venomous. And although I always carry a switchblade with me, like a swarm of swifty wasps, I raced away to avoid getting injured.
After what seemed like hours of sprinting, I eventually came to a stop. Out of breath, I walked the rest of the way home. And without a single excuse, I made it late for breakfast. With my family scowling

I am panting uncontrollably. Someone really is in here with me, and he wants to kill me! (I am in the family who lives closest to the cave) I need to alert the police! I thought. But I didn’t make it anywhere. I was smashed by a sturdy rock onto my head, and I fell to the flat floor on my back. And there I had blacked out. But just before I had, I have realized that the documents were actually developed by Clifton Gregory.
I woke up outside, and I spoke to myself
“I’m alive?” I whispered
I had realized my arms were tied to a tree outside my house by strong rope.
“Foolish boy.” A man said. It was Clifton, I could tell because he looked beat up and he also had a deep buzzcut, most likely from

    Growing up, I noticed a lot of discussion about financial problems between my parents. It’s not that we were becoming poor, it was because of our growing family needing more supplies. My mother just gave birth to my little brother when I started noticing the financial issues my family were facing. As a little girl, I do not know how our finances worked all I knew was many bills were due and I knew it because when I was a little girl I liked to practice reading and those bill statements were the papers that attracted my interest due to its colorful paper.…

    I just moved to a kid infested neighborhood. I was 18 so I had no interest in going outside and playing with the 12-14 year old kids. I thought it would be okay moving there, but they're so annoying, doing there kid stuff and writing skate boards which I've done myself and probably annoyed many people so I didn't tell them anything. Anyway my mom lives with me because step dad recently died. This house had been so weird, I don't know if it's me or like I said, the house. There's always weird noises and the weirdest part is that there is this rug that always appears in different places when I get home. My mom doesn't say anything about it because she has bad memory loss and always loses things. Someone needed to do something about this house or rug because i'm starting to get scared and lose it.…

    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…

    Throughout my life, I have faced a number of crucibles but one, in particular, is more prominent than the rest. About five years ago, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, a traumatic experience that affected my entire family. Each member of my immediate family chose to deal with the news in different ways, however, I am the only one that elected to live in denial. Sadly, the only way I knew how to cope with such devastating news was to continue living my life as if nothing was happening. Denial is simply unsustainable as you cannot escape the memories that the crucible has formed. Nevertheless, years after my mom was originally diagnosed I began to appreciate the experience for what it was rather than shy away from it; developing hardiness.…

    Tom Jonson was on his way to investigate a strange town named Rooshwater. No one ever visited the town, and no one ever left it. Most assumed it was a town of inbreed hicks who knew nothing, or did not care, about the world outside it. Tom had been a curious man his entire life, he loved mystery novels, engineering, and exploring exotic countries. He heard about Rooshwater from a website that focused on the paranormal and folk stories. The stories said, horrible ghosts, goblins, ghouls, and cannibals dwelled at the town. Tom didn’t believe it, who would believe such nonsense? Tom just wanted to take a look around, prove to himself and everyone else that the legends of Rooshwater were foolish stories that only idiots would believe. He had been driving for days now, following maps and signs hoping that he wouldn’t get lost. “Maybe the cannibals and ghost would get me.” He said jokingly to himself. The view was incredible in this part of the world. It was just turning autumn. The trees were a beautiful red and orange, “Just like the movies.” he thought. He didn’t need music to keep him sane on such a long drive. He watched the birds, listened to the waterfalls, even saw a few deer. Tom was interested in many things, nature being another one. While observing a particularly colorful tree, he caught a glimpse of what looked like a man and a lizard mixed. It had leathery green skin with a long tail. It stood on two legs, had long arms that came to its knees with long claws that looked as if it could rip a large animal apart in seconds. The most horrible part of all was its face. It had huge crimson red eyes, and a mouth bigger around than Tom’s head with razor sharp teeth. Tom was stunned. The creature distracted him for too long; he swerved on the road, hit a pothole, and then crashed.…

    I stood in trauma room number one with my FFA official uniform on with my heartbroken mother by my side. When I got up that spring morning, I was shaken with nerves because I didn’t feel prepared enough to say a speech at my FFA contest that my chapter was leaving for that morning. That turned out to be the least of my worries that day. I had only been at school for fifteen minutes when I received a call from my mother that my Mamaw BJ, her mother, had passed away. We rushed to the hospital. I stood at the corner of the room so I wasn’t forced to look at the cold, still body that I was used to running up to and squeezing with love whenever I saw it. We stood there for hours and hours and hours it seemed. Her death is one of the most prominent…

    Before I could answer, I was back at home. I was in my bed wearing my pajamas, and the clock said it was midnight, like nothing had happened at all that night. I wasn’t even hungry anymore. Even the bite on my right calf wasn’t there anymore. I was so scared the next few weeks that I barely talked or left my room, I didn’t tell anyone about what had happened. I spent hours and days thinking about whether this was real or not.…
