Massive Heart Attack Imagine smelling burnt rubber on a hot Mississippi evening, being stranded in the dark waiting for help to come, imagine never seeing your nineteenth birthday. The day my friends and
I almost died, my car had a flat tire, and I didn’t have any money. It was one of the scariest days of my life. I learned that in a matter of hours situations can go from good too bad.
The day started off real nice. My friends and I just finish playing a fierce NBA 2k tournament in the dorms of Jones Junior College. My friend name Keo got mad because he was losing most of the games. The other guys were making fun of him, so he suggested we play a real game of basketball to see

Then suddenly I here my phone ring so I stop and see that my friend
Joe from William Carey was calling me. He called to asked if we wanted to play basketball at
Carey. Since I was already filling good because I was winning at the gym I said “sure joe we will be there in forty-five minutes.” After I got off the phone with him; Tyler, Keo, and myself ran to my two door Pontiac Sun Fire and began driving to Carey. As we got halfway I felt something jerk on my car, then I smelled something burning and finally POP! There went my busted tire down the long hot highway. I was calm and composed because I knew I had the tools and the spare tire to get us back on the road. I pulled over and opened the trunk of my car to find I was missing the lug wrench. At that moment I knew we were in trouble, so I then took out my phone and stared at its dark hollow screen knowing that I had to call my grandpa for help. I knew he was going to be furious but I finally got the courage to make the call because I needed help and I

Instantly doubt and fear creeped into my mind. It started getting dark which made us very nervous and scared. We were in the dark car getting rocked by fast driving trucks. Finally, someone saw us and luckily they had the tool we needed. Tyler, Keo, and myself were extremely happy so we decided to head on to
Carey. As we got back on the road I noticed a rattling in my car so I instantly became doubtful about the spare. As we neared Carey I stop at a gas station to check the spare, then I realized it wasn’t a full spare it was a donut. Just my luck; so finally making to Carey through all the rattling in my car I asked Joe if he could give us a ride back to Jones after we got finished. He said “yes” but he asked me what I was going to do with my car. My other brilliant plan was to leave it there and take it to Walmart and buy a new tire once I got my money transferred into my account. After the game of basketball, we went ahead with the plan. Tyler, Keo, and myself got into Joe’s car and we began driving back to Jones. As we were getting ready to leave Hattiesburg
Joe noticed he need some gas. So he pulled into this raggedy gas station to solve the

    After he took some pictures and he couldn’t see another car coming. He ran faster than we had ever seen him run across the 2 lane highway and disappeared down the hill. It felt like forever waiting for my dad to come up that hill, but my mom kept us busy. She told us to pack everything up and try to make everything neat since we probably had to get a rental car. Once we saw my dad come up the side of the hill with the tire, we were all praying that he would make it across the highway safely.…

    Pony Boy Monologue

    Ponyboy was really the first person I could express my opinions to and the first person I could really talk to about how I feel about this stupid social division we have to go by. Even though he doesn’t really understand how we Socs have problems too, I can see that he at least sort of understands- not completely, but just a little… Knowing that he sort of understands is a mixed feeling of relief and just a bit of an absurd feeling as well, I mean, a Soc and a greaser actually having a nice conversation.. I didn’t expect him to actually understand at all, but I also didn’t expect him to be completely ignorant about it either. “Cherry, look what’s coming,” Marcia quickly addressed. I watched the blue Mustang as it was coming down the street.…

    On December 27th, 2007, me and a friend of mine were between 8-9 years old just 2 days after Christmas. We were excited to meet up and show off anything new we were blessed with 2 days prior to the incident. We were at his house playing with WWE action figures until he pulled out a pack of sparklers. This is when the real fun began and one by one we lit up a sparkler, poking holes in stuffed animals and having the irresponsible fun of playing with fire and fireworks. Back as a 9 year old, I thought we had it under control, nothing to be worried about because we knew how to use sparklers.…

    Growing up in a small community where the county fair every October was the biggest event in town all year, I thought I knew what it was to live in the middle of nowhere and making up outlandish ideas for fun. That was until I moved to good ole Newark, Ohio; where I would make the revelation that I indeed had no inclination about what people could come up with to be designated the term a good time, considering I had never heard of the hellacious event, Mud Fest. My fiancé has always been interested in big, lifted, and modified trucks, and I have grown to accept this; at times to my amazement, I enjoy going down rough terrain and muddy, deserted trails. So, when the day came that he asked me if I would like to go to an off roading event that was being held not too far from us, I said yes; thinking it would be the usual adventure…
