Personal Narrative: My Vacation In Florida
This past summer my family and I decided to vacation in Florida. Like any other vacation, our plan was to have an enjoyable time and destress. However, we experienced a sudden, nerve-racking situation. It did not compare to anything we had experienced before.
We almost lost control.
It was a rainy, humid summer afternoon in Disney’s Magic Kingdom. We were exhausted from all the walking we had done and thus decided to rest before heading to our next attraction. We sat on a bench near a food kiosk, watching the multitude of people come and go. Thereafter, my troublesome brother and I had gone to buy a churro and a water. While in line he asked for me to buy him a pretzel, but I complained that it was overpriced and perhaps not even tasty.

“No,” she replied, with concern in her voice. At that moment, I felt as if my whole world had crumbled. Had my brother gotten lost? Was I foolish enough to assume that he found his way back to my parents? Alarmed by the situation, my mom scolded me for losing sight of him. We began looking through the crowds hoping he would appear. I stood still for a moment, trying to wrap my head around the worrisome circumstances. Time became more valuable. “Find your brother!” yelled my mom in an aggressive yet desperate tone. All hope was not yet lost.
We decided to inform my dad, who had left before I had returned with my food and drink. Desperately I asked, “Is Edward with you?”. His response of “yes” brought my mom and I great relief. This entire time we had thought that my brother was lost, but actually had gone with my dad. As we spotted them standing by the castle among the crowd of people, our fear vanished. I was the one to blame for losing sight of my brother. I was the one to blame for causing a situation that could have been worse.
After the chaos, I reflected over what had occurred and came to conclude that my brother is more important than everything else. I should of ran after him. I should have told him where to

    “Ugh!”, he grunts from how large the suitcase is. “Will you be able to carry that, Scottie?” she says, her face, worn from time, twists with concern for her son. “Of course”, he laughs. “Okay, if you’re sure.” She says as she opens the metal gate to the front yard. They slowly walk through the cracked pathway until they reach the steps to the porch. Beatrice opens the sturdy door with her keys. “Honey, I’m home!” Scottie yells into the empty living room. “Must you do that every time you come inside the house?” She says fondly. “Of course, I must.” He says as if she should already have known the answer. While they were talking, Alice and Jake, Scottie’s younger siblings, heard his announcement and excitedly ran out of their room and down the beige stairs. “Stop making all that racket!” she admonishes her children. “SCOTTIE!” they yell out enthusiastically. “You’re home!” Alice states, full of wonder that her big older brother is finally back where he belongs. “Well, it’s obvious that I’m home unless I’m an imposer who’s secretly an alien”, He jokes, winking at Alice. “I definitely didn’t miss your humor,” Jake lightheartedly says. “Oh, come on, I tell the best jokes”, Scottie says smiling. “Yeah right, in your dreams”, Jake jokingly teases. “Leave your brother alone for right now. He had a long trip and he’s probably exhausted.” Beatrice gently tells to her…

    As he got closer she noticed him and ran over to him in a rush. “Excuse me, have you seen my little brother? He’s short with curly hair and glasses and he has on a blue shirt!” She screamed as she frantically moved back and forth. “No I haven’t seen him, but I’d be more than glad to help you look for him” Joshua replied.

    I thought of Bess and the Highwayman, how they acted, how they looked at each other. Should I have done this? I shook my head. Of course I should have. I deserve this. Do I? As I made my way into the stables, Redcoats glided into the inn. I thought nothing of it. As I heard them drinking ale, full of joy, their shadows slowly drifted across the wall and disappeared into….. Bess’s room. A speck of doubt fluttered through my mind, but went away just as I heard the sound of a struggle, a musket loaded, and footsteps becoming louder. Out the Redcoats strutted, happy as they went in. Time passed as moonlight came. The figure of a man on a horse came into view, the Highwayman. Just as the Redcoats readied their guns, a shot echoed through the fields. It was not the Redcoats. My gut churned as I got a horrible feeling. Suddenly, it was like time reversed as the dark figure started to disappear. The next morning the landlord announced Bess’s…

    When I walked in the doors of our house, I looked to the left where our couch was and saw my parents sitting facing towards me with nervous faces. I set my bag on the ground next to the door, and I set my shoes next to my bag. I slowly turned around and walked towards the couch, hesitant to take a step forward. Part of me considered bolting--running for the door. Their faces were plastered with anxiety, and I tried to think of what I had done. Nothing clear came to mind. Once I finally sat down, I looked at my parents and said, “What's wrong?”…
