My Sniper-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
I got a rush of excitement and jumped. My body was filled with adrenaline as I glided through the clouds. All three members of my squad were below me. The land below me was getting closer by the second. I could still hear the faded noise of the rotors above me. I quickly made a check that I hadn’t forgot anything. I had my sniper with me, which is the most important thing to have. I checked my altitude as I pulled my parachute. I was jolted upwards, and was now slowly descending towards a deserted area of Afghanistan.

I suddenly heard rotors gradually becoming more clear until it was a constant

    She was one of the girliest girls I knew since grade school, with her stylish culottes and pink garments of all different shades for all different occasions. She was the epitome of a mixture between pure innocence and quirk that boldly took her rightful place in the middle of my heart. Mary Anne wasn’t just all of that; she was also my affectionate girlfriend, my warm-hearted best friend who I could talk about anything with, from the most trivial things to the very meaning of our whole existence. At the time, all I could feel was the absolute joy that I got from spending my time with her.
