Narrative Essay: A Place I Have Never Been?

It was a place I have never been. It was divergent and diverse than what I was used too. Eye-opening would be the right adjective to describe this piece of land. I remember waking up to cooked sausages, biscuits, eggs, and most importantly a rare piece of food some would say has the same texture of grits but it was really rice. I know it sounds odd to have rice as a side in breakfast. But it was truly delish. My Grandma net would make her rice sweet and creamy just like grits. Me and my sister Arionne would always talk about Grandma’s Net ‘homemade rice.’ The passing of my Granddad later revealed that the rice was packaged and it was never homemade.

Everything was new. Every time I was out there I would meet new family members and go to new places. There were two cities in Tennessee we would visit, Chattanooga and Winchester.

It was simply sad. Everyone was hurt and confused. Why is it that my Grandad was only 62 when he sided because a white teenager was texting and driving and did not look up from his phone for 30secs?

A year later my Uncle Ronnie died because of an illness. My Grandma Alluh is still alive and lived past all of her sons. Now I know why she stares out the window. She probably thinks about them and all of her old
