“Go!” Coach Sears yells, as we run from the goal line to the 40 yard line. Just as we take off from the line, a loud thunder growls and a sprinkle of rain hits my arm. I started to smile as hard as I did when Myricall was born, as Coach Sears yelled to the team, “everyone go home.” I left with an urgency to go see my Fatty. After seeing Myricall, my girlfriend walked me to my green Chevrolet Silverado, so I could go home to get ready for work. I drove twenty long minutes to get home, just to have to turn around and go to work.…
It was the week of my high schools celebrate choir concert, so I knew sure as hell that I had no choice of being late. It was the most important concert of the year and included oodles of choreography and immense songs from movies and video games. While I was driving eagerly to school across Highway 13, I drifted across a big patch of black ice. I slammed on the breaks and the smell of burnt rubber filled the inside of my car. As a result of skidding, I scraped the side of my car leaving a huge scratch from hitting a barrier.…
Every Friday night I would run to my room when I heard the car door slam. I ran as fast as I could to the comfort of my blankets and my teddy bear and waited for the yelling and screaming to begin. Dad had just gotten home from the bar. He had been spending all day smoking and drinking. My parents would fight for hours on end about how my father was addicted.…
Thomas and three of his friends decided they wanted to race to cookout down a main road that was not typically busy at night. In one car there was Thomas and Cameron and in the other was Jabreeze and Ishaun. Halfway through the race, Jabreeze was pulled over. Before the cop could even get up to Jabreeze's car, another car was trying to pull out of a side street. Thomas swerved to miss the car but was going too fast and ended up wrapping his Mustang around a tree.…
He was yelling “if I don’t get my money I’m going to shoot her up” meaning me as his taxi driver. Well…my customer in the mean time got back into the taxi and I drove up over the curb and onto the sidewalk to get out of there the whole time my passenger is apologizing for getting me in the middle of this. Needless to say, I went home early that day after going to the police in the city where I picked up this customer and having them tell me there was nothing they could do because it didn’t happen in their city. I did have another run about a week later to drop another customer off at home on that very same street and the dealer was on a porch in the neighborhood and as soon as he saw my cab he started yelling. I got out of there as fast as I could and made sure they never sent me back to that same area again.…
I left my classroom and zigzagged my way trough the herd of loud, pimply teens towards the school’s exit as efficiently as I could like I was doing a speedrun. I was a man on a quest. Once out, I snatched my bike from the rack and raced towards Geekvania, a independent store that, as the name mentioned, sold geek products to geek minded people. I was very much one of those. I put…
Bike Mayhem I was getting ready for school one chilly autumn morning in Lake Havasu, Arizona when I decided to ride my bike to school. I usually ride my bike unless I have one of those days where I just walk to school. I could not find my school jacket so I just decided to hurry up and get to school to see if I may have left it in one of my classrooms. I walked into the garage and opened the door so that I will be able to get my bike out. I then preceded to do me morning routine: check the tires, adjust the seat for downhill riding, and make sure that the handlebars were still straight.…
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.…
Now my only concern is the safety of Mia. I fought back the tears threatening to leave my eyes as I remembered the Strigoi snapping her neck, like a piece of twig. I drove straight through the gates of our long driveway and out the estate, just in time before the entire mansion blew up in expulsion. Mia eyes widened and she spins around to watch our former house go up flames, I continued to concentrate on the road ahead to Montana to St Vladimir 's Academy. "Where are we going?,"asked Mia quietly, her voice thick with sorrow.…
Although my caution was strongly advising against it, my sense of urgency was screaming at me to hurry up and turn. I was still going about 50 miles per hour when I panicked and threw my steering wheel to the right as quickly as I could, my tires screeching and the car behind me honking loudly. Upon completely missing the driveway by about 15 feet, my car shot in and out of the ditch close to the road. By a stroke of luck, I somehow avoiding smashing into the mailbox in front of the house. My car was still going very fast when I rolled through the front yard of the house.…
