122 Cottage Dr.-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
The house at 122 Cottage Dr. was hidden by so many trees it was hard to see the chipped siding and faded paint. If it wasn’t for the neighbors to the right, the house would have been completely isolated. 122 Cottage Dr. belonged to the Pitchler family. The Pitchler’s were a nuclear family with a mom, dad, and one daughter.

As amanda crawls into bed a loud crack of lighting comes from the dark world outside. As Amanda thinks about her fun week ahead, she drifts off to sleep.

CRACK! Amanda is woken up by the sound of thunder. She slowly sits up and is facing her dresser. She watches as her dolls head moves side to side, scanning the room.
