Bullet-Personal Narrative
So, this is what the world has become.
Bullets continue to tear through the other side of the car. The small explosions and ricochets cement my feet tighter to the ground, and I press as close as I can to the driver's side door. Every muscle in my body aches, but I know that I cannot give up here. She needs me. More than that, I promised my dad I would keep her safe. But, most of all, I swore to myself that I would never let anything happen to her, no matter what it took. A bullet shatters the window above me and showers me with glass. I reach to my neck and swipe the shards away, cutting both my neck and hand in the process. Warm blood runs down my spine and I see a puncture on my left hand. Red droplets fall to the street.
If I don't move now, they are going to kill me. I glance behind me to where the twins are hiding over the hill. I imagine they are still as I left them, huddled together with tears in their eyes. When I had first charged into the fray, they screamed at me to stop, and their screams continued for a while, but were barely audible when I went over the hill. Any noises from them would be completely gone amidst the chaos.
Could they have been found already? Probably not. They are safe from these monsters' bullets on the other side of the hill. I am the one in

There are at least six boys in the house. Two were behind a makeshift barricade of wood and brick on the front lawn and the others were peering out the house's already shattered windows. At least three of them have guns. I duck down just as another bullet embeds itself into the car’s steel. They have me pinned down, and my only small hope is their need to reload. I use my bloodied hand to recheck the cylinder in my own gun. It only holds five shots, my only five shots, and it is not nearly enough. They have bigger guns. Most of all, I would be lucky enough to even hit the house with this

    I was surprised at my findings during the shooter game. The armed I had WHITE-24 and BLACK-20 and the unarmed I had WHITE-22 and BLACK-15. With my own heuristics I feel that I have a quick judgement, because the game made me think quick to observe which people was good or bad. When I got them wrong it took away points from the average, but it taught me to be more observative to the people that popped up on the screen. Overall, I had to figure which people are dangerous and which ones was not dangerous which I needed to survive throughout the game.…

    After hours of sitting in the passenger seat of a white Ford F-150 watching cornfield after cornfield after cornfield fly by my hallow stomach let out a roar like a lion on the African safari, my dad takes his eyes off the road and says,” skip lunch much?” Then I saw it, the light at the end of a hundred and eighty-six-mile-long tunnel on the left hand side of the road “Cracker Barrel.” I sat down at the table and know what I was going to order. Our waitress plopped down a half pound of perfectly prepared beef deliciousness topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. I devoured it, we were back on the road to castle Vanm. I woke up the next morning excited to shoot my first gun on the farm. My dad walked out and unsheathed a over and under…

    Recently, I met little Ricky in my newborn photographer studio. He's the newest addition to Lauren and Ricardo's family. I met this family when they came in two years ago for their second child's newborn shots. It's always such a priviledge when parents return with their newest additions.

    His M16 with a fully loaded magazine is within your reach; grab the weapon's cold, metallic, handle getting ready to spring up, aim down the sight and kill the first enemy you spot. You get up and start shooting like a rookie in training, spraying bullets everywhere. While you are shooting this gun you notice the spent bullet casings ejecting out of the chamber and landing on the ground next to you. The soft metallic clinging sound and the smell of gunpowder overpowers your nose, distracting you from important matters at hand and then a THUD!…

    I backed away from the gun, clicking the safety back on to take a second of reassurance. Remembering what my dad had told me I took a deep breath and finally took the second shot. The bullet exited the gun perfectly and the boom of the gun was very loud resulting in a heart shot. Seeing the little ole spike hitting the ground like a ton of bricks, I knew he was not going to make his “Great…

    A couple of meters in front of the ditch where the train wreck was, I could catch a heartstopping glint of a ravine. My brain turned into a battlefield for the thoughts. What if the train hadn’t stopped? What if it had got out of track just one single second later? I forced myself to change directions of my thoughts. At least I was alive. And from what I could see no one else was seriously injured either.…
