Personal Narrative: Windigo

Improved Essays
I was sitting in the front right section of the house if you could even call it that anymore. The once-white carpet was now covered with blood. The glass and dirt from picture frames, vases, lamps, potted plants and the TV mixed with the blood forming into a cohesive mat that now covered the floor. Beyond that, the light brown coloration of hardwood floor was now tainted with bloody footprints. These footprints lead towards that very pool of blood and vomit where I had woken from the night before. These were my footprints! They were like that of a wraith or windigo smearing more and more with every step until they vanished from this plane of existence. Of course, they only appeared to have vanished because I must have fallen letting that pool

    I lifted my head deliberately, high enough to see a pool of blood deriving out of my thigh. I forced my weight on one foot and my eyes lingered on a scene that I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy to go through. What my eyes laid on sent a shiver down my spine. Corpses sprawled on the ground and blood pooling almost out of each body. The sky was so grey that day, mourning over…

    Faith is the belief in something greater than us one can put full trust, confidence, and reliance on when difficult times arise. I was raised to be involved with church activities to maintain my spiritual life; additionally my faith grew dramatically when my cousin deceased and gave me an overview of what I wanted to pursue my career as. When I was a child, my parents encouraged me to always be as loving and caring as I could be, not for personal gain, but to be benevolent to the people around me. I was raised with two loving parents, Mario and Rebeca, along with a younger brother, Mario and older sister, Ana.…

We were a few miles away before I saw the smoke, a dark giant against the bright blue sky.…
