Personal Narrative Essay: Hate Crimes

Great Essays
It was a busy night in New York City, many cars and people traveling through the bustling city. Sasha had just finished up a gig in a small club, before heading home for the night.

Sasha knew walking home alone at night was risky, but she had no other option. Her phone had died a few hours ago and there was no way she would be able to hail a cab. So she continued on her way, anxiousness steadily rising within her. She knew this street was risky for the LGBTQ+ community, knowing many hate crimes have occured here. She was walking for about a half an hour when she was yanked into a dark alleyway.

She let out a small scream before a hand covered her mouth roughly, as it jerked her head towards a young man.

The doctor gave her the location of the hospital, and after Shea thanked him she ordered a Lyft and had the driver take her to the hospital. As soon as she arrived she burst through the hospital doors, rushing to the reception desk.

"Yes, hello, I am here to see Sasha Velour? I just got the phone call about her condition."

The receptionist didn't say anything as she looked stuff up on her computer. After what felt like a millenia she finally spoke up.

"Room 237, careful not to disturb anything."

Shea thanked her and rushed to Sasha's room, bounding up the stairs because an elevator would take longer. When she got to the room a doctor was standing right outside it.

"Hello, you must be Ms. Coulee?"

Shea nodded, and instantly started asking questions.

"Is Sasha ok? Can I go see her? Is she asleep? Is she going to b-"

The doctor put her hand up, silencing

    ~Sticking to the Script~ I. Felicitous I let out a long sigh as I walked along the beach’s crowded boardwalk, alone. Johanna, my twenty-four year old sister, had pulled me here an hour earlier to have a fun night together (her words, not mine). I was honestly just as happy, if not more, to sit home and do absolutely nothing but lay across my bed eating pizza without any human interactions. I was going to save my social tolerance for her wedding in half a week, but I didn’t want to disappoint her. So I gave in to her request, only to be left a short time later.…

In the background of that horrible noise it almost sounded as if someone was in the shower, I sleepily began to step down from my bed and saw that my sister was lying in her bed asleep. Slurring my words I yelled and asked "Savannah! Do you hear that?"…
