Creative Writing: The Girl Who Killed My Car

Decent Essays
AULA PARKED HER CAR, SHUT the engine and kept still. With a sigh, she released the key, put it inside her purse and waited; both her hands dead on her lap. It took her some time to venture a peek outside her car. Around her, the public parking lot was empty. The old and creepy front gate, which was always open, welcomed guests to the oldest park in the city. Paula was easy to scare. She covered her eyes and ears during a horror movie, she was afraid of dark places because she had no idea what was in them, and usually feared being alone because she assumed people would want to hurt her or rob her. Yet, for some reason, she had never been afraid of this creepy park. Right now, as she sat in her car waiting, she felt nothing could harm

    Ted's wishes By jacob Kothe When it comes to driving a stick shift manual car, you can get a little stressed out. What I mean by that when you're driving around the neighborhood with your instructor (my dad) he makes you turn, a lot stop on hills, and insures that you stop at a stop sign, when you think that he insures that you stop at stop signs you think of something else.

    A series of small waves pressed the sail boat against the alge dock as his cold and cracked hands desperately yanked on the rope in an effort to raise the sails. Dark clouds had moved in the night before and had stayed overnight providing a refreshing sprinkle of rain every now and then. He looked out over the vast plain of unsettled water and saw one individual white cap rise up among the rest only to be pushed back down. Due to the lack of sunlight the frigid water appeared black and lifeless but he knew that below it was a complex community of different species. He then bent over the side of the boat and reached for its securing ropes.…

    On August 24, 2017, I made a decision to be completely aware of how precious life is. That day, I helped move my brother, Joe, into his apartment on the Central Michigan University campus.
