A Narrative Essay About The Most Dangerous Game

Improved Essays
It all started with Ben & Jerry’s that fateful night in June. AnneMarie strutted over while the gang was busy solving mysteries and playing cards on the grass outside the dorm building. Beaming eyes portrayed to the gang a tale of risk. Or perhaps just a tale of delight when the goodies lounging in the white plastic bag she held were revealed, though this all went unnoticed by me. The game at hand had me enraptured until one ear became deaf from a shriek of glee. Glancing up and trying to regain hearing, my eyes caught sight of three pints of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream melting in the humid summer breeze.

The red coach of Iowa Ambassadors of Music was kind enough to assist in our search, starting with London. The first night set out in search was brimming with hilarity, lazy feet, and scents of the city.

Neon lights of a shop beckoned like heaven’s gates opening above. There it was! The first ice cream shop!
Zoinks! I had solved this mystery…or so I thought before rough hands ushered me inside the hotel claiming curfew was nearing us. Disappointed, I described how heavenly the place had looked before. Instead, plans were made for tomorrow; tonight the pounding inside our heads needed to be taken care

    Opening the once lonely door, there was a hallway that seemed to have just rejoiced with a once depriven necessity. As striking as the first rose in spring, her silky, soft, shiny hair combined with her enticingly exquisite eyes produced a sublime look; it instantly ejected any pressure in the room.
