Personal Narrative Essay: 'Come Walk With Me'

Decent Essays
"Come walk with me. Tell me about your job." He left his papers on the table and walked to the entrance with me following behind. We took a left and stepped out onto the terrace with a railed balcony surrounded by flowers that spun around it like snakes.

The patch of garden had a fish fountain spewing out water in the middle with benches and stones around it. No one was there, with a venue so huge I bet we could all be alone in different rooms with some leftover.

"What do you do as a foreman?" He stopped at the edge of the garden looking out from the rail onto the busy street. "It 's pretty boring I occasionally fix cars, but I mostly

"Well it 's kind of fun sometimes because people take their cars in for repairs on the weirdest things. Like one time a buddy of mine crashed his car into a wall."

I bought the car about a month ago, so I don 't see why it would be giving her any trouble. Regardless I gave her the key to my apratment, so if this ever happens again she can always take my car.

    Once upon a time, there was a small, seaside town, along the coast of the vast Pacific Ocean, called Arcadia, and in that small seaside town, there lived a girl named Parker Garcia, who, with the help of some friends and maybe just a little magic, started a revolution that brought love and acceptance to the small town.
