David's Journey-Personal Narrative

Decent Essays
David arrived here the other night, he was on the run from those brutal Waknuk people, it turns out that he’s a mutant too. I always knew that there was something off about him, so did my parents. These past years have been awful without him, but now that he’s here, life has gotten a whole lot worse. Ever since I escaped from Waknuk I have thought about David, about his kindness and how much he cared for me. He loved me almost as much as my mother did when she was alive, and I loved him even more. I had this vision in my mind, that he would come running into the fringes to rescue me and that we would live happily ever after. I though about him even when I was with Gordon and at night I would have dreams about us riding off into the sunset …show more content…
His heart belongs to this woman named Rosalind, or as I like to call her, my replacement. He looks at her with those same loving eyes that he used to look at me with, but instead of meeting me with that same loving gaze, he looks at me like I’m a filthy charity case. These past few years have been torturous, ever since I was stripped from my parents and thrown into the Fringes, I’ve had to fight for my place here. In the Fringes there are no rules, you fight for your life everyday. As soon as I got here I was forced to work in a weapon shacks where I would carve sticks for arrows. I did this day in and day out and when I wasn’t making arrows I was sleeping on the streets, because there was no place else for me to go. The only thing that kept me going was the thought of David coming to rescue me, as he was the only one left in the world who I loved. Then, I met Gordon, he told me that if I did what he wanted that he would give me food and shelter. I accepted without hesitation and ever since then life has been slightly more bearable. I don’t enjoy being with Gordon, but he gives me kindness and in a place filled with as much hate as the Fringes, kindness is a luxury that very few are able to receive. But now that David’s little girlfriend has come into town I might lose him too. After all she can give him the only thing he really wants, children. Oh how I wish I could give him children, then

    I’ve been listening to a lot of Jon & Deek in the morning, and in the mid-afternoon, and early evening. Those two (or one?) have me flipping through channels, seeing if I can remember what station NPR or The Keg is on. All I could remember about a station was “the Eagle is classic rock,” and I spent many minutes at red lights flipping through the country music stations trying to be reunited with my old customary station, only to find myself listening to Will Ferrell screech “SAANNTTAA!” on 94.9’s Christmas ad. Nothing was more brutal, and yet familiar than this. There’s no aux cord in my 2002 Honda, and it spits out cd’s when I put them in, and I can’t make myself realize that I’m not motivated enough to actually listen to NPR on a morning drive, so I resist looking up the tune-in number.…
