It was a hotter than snot sunny day in a small town in Michigan called Fremotte. This town has four lakes in it. But, let me get to the point.…
The narrative, The Driver’s Seat struck home for me because I just received my driver’s license this past May, 2015. I took time for me to actually drive and to become comfortable behind the wheel of a car. This piece of writing spoke to me and allowed me to review some of the identical thinking points that I went through while getting to the point of taking control of my dad’s car. The story effectively walked me through the trials of spirit and mental anguish that preceded me in taking hold of the vehicle with my dad as the co-pilot giving directions. This was the exact thing the driving instructor in The Driver’s Seat‘ taught the author. The routine of how to maneuver and throw caution to the wind- taking risks- to get the author over…
The Fury, the fastest, longest, and tallest rollercoaster on the East Coast. With a top speed of 95 mph and a height of 325 feet makes it the biggest rollercoaster I had ever gotten on, beating the Intimidator 305 by 25 feet. I remember seeing on television and wanting to ride it really badly. It just looked so amazing and since I love rollercoasters and love riding rollercoasters, I knew it was something I had to do. I had ridden lots of rollercoasters before this one such as the Intimidator 305 and the Top Thrill Dragster, which I had enjoyed riding very much, and I figured that the Fury would be just as good. So I asked my parents of we could go to the Carrowinds to ride the Fury. They said yes and we went with my aunt to the Carrowinds.…
I broke my arm today while getting on the freight train. Thank God I still have an arm unlike some of the other I have meet who have lost an arm or leg and some even know someone who has lost their life ( Riding the Rails). I have done this a couple of time now and I shouldn't have been so anxiety about it but I was. I hide under the track outside the yard like I normally do, waiting for the train to reach momentum so I could get on. I forgot to check for the bull guards who are hired to keep hoboes from jumping on freight. I guess I got too comfy with my environment( Riding the rails). Right when I was getting on the trains, I heard the bull guards yelling and chasing after me. It threw me off my balance and I nearly fell off the train. I…

I watched as the illuminations on the traffic light at the commencement time of the ride transmuted from crimson to yellow, to green. I was moving forward at such a bullet I virtually could not grasp. I could test the panic in my mouth, and I could auricular discern the screaming of the kids and parents. I can smell the sweat and warmth in the air. My hands were shaking of what I can visually perceive. There I was the person on top of the Roller Coaster Ride. Fear is in me! A portion of my Encephalon has verbally expressed no and the other is verbalizing affirmative. Here I go. Taking my seat belt on worried and shaking AND AURALLY PERCEIVE I GO!! Shouting out, panicking, frightening and inundated. The panic through my veins come to me, I cannot take it, albeit it was rollicking! I am going up, down and in all different ways. I was for sure starting to feel disgusted. I was screaming like everyone else was but I was the flashiest. When it was over my legs were shaking my Encephalon was shivering, which I don’t ken how but it was transpiring. I needed to peregrinate home and have a recess and get my idea on the Roller Coaster Ride. I would never go back there again in my life. I would not run through the pain and frustration…
As my skin begins to crisp and blister, my water bottle in desperate need of a refill, I look up to the blinding, hot, Australian sun, and sigh. We have only been at MovieWorld for thirty minutes and I am already as red as a lobster and its only 9:30am.…
Time is winding down and the past thirty nine weeks has been nothing short but amazing. It has been full of different emotions and feelings. From the stretching of the skin to the sudden movement I have never felt before. It was all a new experience, but the feeling was indescribable. After a restless night, the sunrise appeared before I knew it. The pain was unbearable, but after several hours and a couple of good pushes you were here. I was extremely exhausted, but the relief was absolutely amazing. At first sight I fell in love with you. Not for how you look, just for who you are. I never thought I could feel affection like this. What is this? Is this how it's assume to feel or even resemble? It's kind of insane how you, only one individual,…
Here I sit in my car outside the house. Tonight's the night. It has been to long. Tonight i will relieve my hunger for death. Emily Smith. I have been watching her for the last week or so, or so i think. i don't really keep track anymore. Sometimes i catch myself walking into work on saturdays and sundays. I just have other things to worry about other than the day of the week, like Emily Smith. Why did i pick her? I really don't know. I guess you could say she's attractive. Now that i look back at my other kills the females were all attractive. Which is strange because i don't really notice women, and i'm not looking for any type of relationship ever.…

The wind was blowing in my face, causing drool to fly out of mouth. I felt bad for the guy behind me. Was this what it was like to go 90 mph in mid air? This was my first time, being 16 years old and never been on a rollercoaster. I have always been afraid of roller coasters, hearing all the bad things about them, considering all the negative affects, and fearing I would fall off or get stuck. But today was a new day, going to Kings Dominion with my brother and best friend who were not taking no for an answer. All I could do is cry and beg for them to not force me to ride the Intimidator 305.But nothing worked because if my crying and begging did work, I would not be writing this right now.…
I sat into the roller car shaking with fear. I prayed to god that I want get of the roller-coaster alive. Then, wait! Let’s star from the beginning.…
I remember day after day going to swimming lessons in the summer of 2002 at the Mount Vernon pool. Almost every day I walked by the ladder that seemed to go on forever. I used to sit on the pools edge and watch the older kids do flips and other cool tricks off of the high dive. Many times I had gotten half way up the ladder but couldn't bring myself to go all the way up. For a seven year old going off the high dive was like a right of passage and a way to be seen as "cool" in the eyes of the older kids. Today I will be telling you about the first time a braved the high dive.…
Have you ever been stuck on a roller coaster? The fact that my brother was screaming “We’re all gonna die!” wasn’t helping with the younger kids on the ride. Here’s my story.…
Most teenagers do not have a clue about what they want to be when they grow up. Most young adults also do not know where their path is in life. Even some full-blown adults are still trying to figure out their purpose. I was lucky. I knew exactly where I belonged from about the time I was seven up until now, at the decently young age of nineteen. I do not see my path changing anytime soon; in fact, I know it will never change. But, I did not just wake up one day as a child and know what my path was, while that would be impressive. Defining moments in one’s life defines who they are. There were lots of things I experienced in my life that made me realize my purpose, my absolute passion. I had four of these defining moments in my short span of…
