Descriptive Essay Ray The Millionaire

Ray, the Millionaire One Thursday morning I woke up thinking about catching some crappy underneath the Highway 221 Bridge at Lake Greenwood. The longer I entertained this idea, the stronger of a pull that fishing lake had on me. Before I knew it, I had cancelled my appointments for the day. The next thing I knew I was headed down the highway with a boat pushing me on down the road. Well it was only about an hour drive and by 9am I was sitting under that very bridge on Highway 221.

Ray began rather abruptly, “Bill, it is this trailer right here. This is the one that knocked down one of my employees. When they touched this metal door it put him on the ground. Let me know if you find anything.” Then quickly, Ray was gone. It only took a short while to straighten out the cross neutral feeder going to the hot feeder. Someone had put a hot wire on the neutral and put the neutral wire on the hot; therefore, it made the entire chassis of that trailer energized. After we buttoned everything up, we went back to the office where Ray was supposed to be. I walked into the front and there were 2 receptionists, one on the right and one on the left.
