Narrative Essay About Moving Out

Improved Essays
Cars come and go.
People stumble in.
People stumble out.
I wait longer and longer for my dad. Slowly turning over each individual page of my book, till I’m finally done.
As the time ticks by I can glimpse the sun’s light rising over the country side. The smooth glazing of light slowly circling around the horizon amazes me.
How does it do that?
More people stumble in.
More people stumble out.
The stench of alcohol and smoke on people as they stumble out is excruciating. The chemicals of the smoke is slowly seeping into my body, blocking my nose and my sense’s, just like the roads in the big city.
“You’re gay” says my brother, interrupting my train of thought.
“I know” I say, responding but not listening enough to care.
“All smart people are gay”
“How’s Polly” I express, sick of his torture.

I was stuck between his fist and the chair. It was like a car crusher slowly squashing the car, me, and his fist together with the chair. “Gay” he mentions in a wobbly voice. As he pulls his fist away.
More and more people stumble in.
More and more people stumble out.
I look up from my book and notice someone struggling down the stairs, cigarette in one hand, and handrail in the other.
“Get to the back seat, gay” says Romeo as he realises that its dad, the one stumbling down the stairs. Trying to keep his balance but ends up falling down the stairs, rolling majestically, but ends up falling face first. He tries to get up but it’s not working he’s too slow to move, like a T-rex that has tripped over a log, little arms that can’t help him get back up.
He moans at us in the car, a zombie apocalypse is starting.
Slowly rolling towards us asking for help but nothing comes out his mouth. I see my brother grinning as he pictures himself driving.
He looks over. Sees me in a distraught with the thought of him driving. Grinning at me teasing me with my thoughts.
More and more people stumble in.
More and more people stumble

    I sat in my car gazing through the window as the lightning violently struck through the air. My heart was drowning in the rain as I looked at the broken picture in front of me. I have no dad, at least not one present at the moment. I see a mom at her wits end trying, but I know it's all pretend, an illusion that doesn’t have an ending. Looking at our house, our doll house, with all its broken figurines I can see the lights are on…

    “Curbside Prophet” proclaimed the beat-up and torn cardboard sign beside the man whose appearance was only made tolerable by the fact that the sign was dirtier than he was. The red letters jumped off onto the street almost as a dare for the people in too-clean cars to look. At least, that’s how I took them as I sat, in my own too-clean car, right beside him. I rolled down my window and then resisted the urge to roll it back up as the wind caught the man’s scent and delivered it straight to my unsuspecting, although not surprised, nostrils. “Curbside prophet, huh?”…

    Usually I obey the traffic laws while driving, However, I tend sometimes to break small rules when I find myself in a situation that I think allow me to do so. For example when someone is driving so slow on the far left side of the road and keeps you waiting forever or force you to overtake him from the right side. I find myself reasonable when doing so and I don't feel bad about it because it is not my intention to break the law of overtaking only from the left side.…

    Yes it is true that dreams come true. Yes it is correct to say persistence and determination can carry you miles in life but certainly will leave you with emotional scars and bruises. Without faith, and courage, it is easy to call it quits because stumbling blocks will always show up on your doorsteps uninvited and unexpectedly, but with faith and hope, victory can be achieved. Picking oneself up, brushing off the dust, and pressing on can help one to reach their goals. I speak from experience because I lived the above scenario in my life journey.…
