Gas Station Descriptive Writing
Pulling up on this old beat down gas station. We all knew it was old when the sign was hanging loosely and swinging with the wind. My dad needed to put gas but I could see he was very skeptical. I rolled my window down getting closer to the gas pump, when I smell the most unpleasant scent I have ever smelt. I told my dad we would have to pay for the gas on the inside because the machine was so old that dirt and spider webs built up in the card machine reader. The buttons to the pump were all faded from the sun and there was so much dirt you could see every little grain of it. I told my dad I would go in and pay, but the closer and closer I got to the inside of the store, my heart started beating faster and thumping harder. I could feel the …show more content…

The door to the bathroom look so brown like the color of dirt and you could even smell the awful scent that came from the bathroom through the half rotten door. I open the door and it was the loudest creek I have ever heard in my life. Sounded like two cats fighting for a piece of fish. I start to hold my nose with my hand so I wouldn’t smell the awful scent. I turn on the light and I am baffled from what I saw. They were mice in the corner of the bathroom that were chewing up leftover food someone had left. There was no soap and no toilet paper. The mirror looked like it had been punched out like you see in the movies. I start to look down at the toilet and it was so disgusting like some had missed the seat every time someone had used it. Now I can see where that awful smell came from. I looked in the half shattered mirror and told myself get the hell out of here. I grabbed the door handle and ran to the lady at the counter and told her I needed to pay for the gas. She smiled but there was no teeth and all I saw was wrinkles start to droop from her face. Then her breath was so awful I nearly almost passed out from it. I got the receipt and head back to the car I jumped in and told my dad we’re never coming back here

    Why did my mom decide to move into a house where the owner didn't want to talk about it, but I think she moved here because we couldn't afford our old house because my step dad's source of income wasn't here anymore.When I typed in my address and the first thing I saw was tons of Wikipedia and websites on my house. I was shocked to see so many, when I clicked one way my jaw dropped like Pacquiao in the match vs Mayweather.. What I saw was disturbing, there have been many reports of family death in that house we lived in. Now it all made sense, that's why those boys would always call my house “That scary house on the block”. I needed to inform my mom about this right away, I wasn't looking forward to die. People said was a ghost others said it was a monster what every the hell it was, I knew I wasn't going to get in its…

    It took us a week to get to Missouri but it helped that most of the states to the North were barley infected with the strange sickness. We were going to Missouri to see how my dad’s parents were doing. About an hour before we made it to their house we had to stop for gas and food. The gas station was empty and showed no signs of life. Just in case, I grabbed a pistol and hunting knife and my dad grabbed the shotgun and the machete. My mom waited in the car with the little ones like always. I opened the gas station door for my dad and walked in after him. Slowly realizing what we walked into, we quickly tried to retreat. We walked into a nest of sick people! We shut the doors as fast as possible and barricaded it shut. When we went back to the car my dad and I saw the most terrible thing. The car was surrounded be sick people trying to get to my panicked mom and screaming sisters. We tried so hard to get rid of all the infected people but more kept coming.

    My parents have left me in with a huge list of chores to do, none which I am very excited about. I have finally completed the last of them and I finished it off by bringing the mail up from the mail box, I am running down to the mailbox through the rain I noticed the rain got heavier. I heard a rumble of thunder in the distance. I hurried back inside and locked the door. It was strange now that I had nothing to do so I decided to take a shower and just relax for the remainder of the night. As I stepped into the bathroom I felt a harsh breeze slap me in the face, I realized I left the window open when I was cleaning it. As I shut the window I saw that fog had condensed on the mirror and there were some sort of strange smudges cutting through the fog. I thought they looked almost like claw marks but reason took over me and told me that they were marks from the water droplets had smudged down the mirror. I took my shower and dried off without a second thought.…

    We were so happy, I started explaining to her where we were, how the place looked like and that there was a big garbage can, as I explain tears dripped from my eyes. We hugged each other, cried, and stayed put right next to the garbage can. We finally saw my mother’s silver BMW car. We slowly walked towards the car, making sure that it was my mother or one of our parents are in there. I then saw my mother did something with her hand, I know what that meant to hurry up, I told my little cousins to hurry up and get in the car, we ran as fast as we could towards the car and got in.

I hop up into my dad’s white, Chevy truck, sobbing my eyes out, still hysterical of what happened and can’t quite catch a grasp on it. My dad talks for about five minutes to the Deputy Sheriff and Mr. Schimp, asking if I will still be able to pass Driver’s Ed, even though I thought it would be better for myself to quit , so I never had to get back to…

    As I sat there, playing, the door suddenly banged open. My mom stood there anxiously with fear in her chocolaty eyes. I knew something tragic had occurred for she never came home early. She grabbed my forearms and pulled me up with a jolt and snatched a plastic bag from the corner and stuffed what little clothes and toys I had in it. My own brown eyes were filled with tears, but I didn’t let them fall. She dragged me along as she moved and on her way out, she shut the door with a thunderous bang. Who would have thought that that was the last day I would ever see that little one room garage house again.…
