Personal Narrative: The Kidnapping Of Red Chief

Decent Essays
The total town was talking about the kidnapping. Always bothering the ones around him, Red chief shouldn’t have been taken from his home. Before he came back each person along with myself was anxious to know who had him. This also frightened me because I was worried they were going to take my siblings. I had a million the age of Red chief. The citizens were startled for the same fact. I encouraged my mother to buy a new lock system for the house just in case one of my brothers decided to leave without telling someone. Now the kids cannot leave as quiet as a mouse like Red chief did. I didn’t wish my mother to pay the money Johnny's father payed.

    She was one of the girliest girls I knew since grade school, with her stylish culottes and pink garments of all different shades for all different occasions. She was the epitome of a mixture between pure innocence and quirk that boldly took her rightful place in the middle of my heart. Mary Anne wasn’t just all of that; she was also my affectionate girlfriend, my warm-hearted best friend who I could talk about anything with, from the most trivial things to the very meaning of our whole existence. At the time, all I could feel was the absolute joy that I got from spending my time with her. We had our entire happiness in the future planned out, a dream wedding and all, but maybe that was the reason why I wouldn’t have ever imagined that I would be feeling so lost and empty just a few years later, alone and missing a part of myself.…

In the days that followed, did you diligently fill every waking moment of your day with thoughts of him, reliving every second of the magic, never wanting to…
