Karan-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
It was a starry night, Karan and I were sitting on my bed, it was about 9:00 PM.

We both had nothing to do, I didn’t want to wake my parents, I had an idea; “Let’s jump off my bed!”

That’s when things went downhill, sometimes we would flip or jump and do straddle jumps in the air.

At the end of my pinkish, orange bed sheet, there was a bed post we jumped from.

I told Karan to go to the bed post and do a jump facing the bed.

When he jumped off he was beaming; when I saw him next, he was sobbing.

I looked down, he said, “My chin hurts” and started crying like there was no tomorrow.

I asked him to lift up his chin; I and saw a slit, blood was pouring out of it.

Immediately we screamed to my parents from the stairs “Mom, Dad, Karan

    Sitting in the barn, I began to reminisce of my life prior to living in this village; a time when I lived with my parents near a stream, of which I can’t recall the official name. I was referred to as a socialite, as I enjoyed getting to know strangers in order to understand them and befriend them, and I used to pride myself on my judge of character, which I believed to be “top notch”, if you will, and my wanting to aid those in need. In the twilight of one winter morning, similar to that of today, however winter was in its more primitive phase, I decided to take a stroll in hopes of clearing my head before the day of work began. I noticed a man of seemingly low morale lying motionless near the stream, just staring at his reflection in the…

    Short stories are a great way to escape into literature, without having to spend hours on end reading. I’ve recently heard about your hate against the idea of all short-short stories, not only did I find that tremendously disappointing but I cannot seem to comprehend. Seeing as I am taking a short story class at the moment really surprises me, not only can short stories spark a reader but it can show them different aspects of writing longer novels cannot. A few stories I will recall are “Sleeping” written by Katharine Weber, “How to Set a House on Fire” written by Stace Budzko, and “Jumper Down” written by Don Shea. Through this collection of short stories I have pulled together these three different fictional works are consistently swift,…

    When my husband and I were dating, as well as in our first few years of marriage, we used to travel often.

For someone like myself who uses the pivot transfer and is only 5' tall, if that, this can be a real challenge. Now, we have another challenge that has made traveling almost impossible and extremely frustrating for both of us.…
