NARRATIVE ESSAY Danger Blood oozed out from the stomach of the man as the knife was plunged into it with all might. The sight was enough to root me to the spot‚ unable to move or even look away.

There were times when I thought that I’d oversleep‚ so I would sleep in my school clothes so that I could be already dressed and ready to go. My elementary school years were the most exciting for me
