Personal Narrative-Am I In Pompeii

Time Machine

Light blue light trickled out of the machine as I pressed the ignition. A running sound of the engine, the floor started to shake. I could feel molecules in my body start the disappear out of existence. The next thing I knew I was falling through a dark tunnel. Pitch black and forever falling until I was faced up on a solid material. Looking up I saw a dark sky filled with plumes of smoke. The sound of people screaming, babies crying, and sudden loud explosions. Still dizzy, I gazed up to see a volcano with light red molten falling down the side of the dark rock, houses are into flames. A sudden thought popped into my mind, "am I in Pompeii." My vision was slightly blurred, a rush of adrenaline pulsed through me as I came to realize,

I had lost track of the time, it could've been one hour maybe two. So I thought to myself where I felt like going,"I've always wanted to see a glimpse of the future," I thought to myself. Then I was falling from a light summer sky, down below to where I was falling was a giant city. I screamed and panicked as I fell through the humid air. Then I hit the ground with a giant thud. But, no pain was surging through my body, no bones were crushed, my head wasn't split. I was perfectly fine, aside from the huge headache in my head from the panicking. I fell between an alley of two large buildings. Three pedestrians from a nearby street came to my rescue and slowly lifted my back off of the ground. They dressed the exact same as I, so I won't be spotted as easily. This looks familiar, this building. The people were asking me questions but I was to busy scouting the building. Quickly, I got up and ran to the entrance of the building. There were holograms everywhere, automatic doors were here too. I know this familiar feel, it's my apartment building. Everything is set up the same but a lot more futuristic. I ran up to the closest individual and asked him, "What year is it?" The man looked at me as if I was crazy. At this point, I kind of am. He responded, "it's year 2032," I took a step back, completely astonished of his response. The man walked away with a smirk on his face as if he didn't believe me. I wonder what it would be like if my future self saw me. There was a 22 year difference in years, I should be 34 years old. So I made my way up the apartment elevator, as I walked into the shaft there was no control. Then suddenly, a voice from a speaker asked "what floor sir?" It was a prerecorded voice. I answered "floor six please," The elevator started and it was fast. Personally, I love the new editions in the future. Before I knew it, the doors were open and I made my way to my

    Have you ever stopped caring so much that whatever happens, happens? I remember the time I had gotten in trouble by my mom because I had walked home from school. It was a gloomy day from it being so cloudy and cold. I was talked into walking home during school by friends whom, at the time didn't care about school as much as I did, cared nothing of school. I didn’t like it, but then again I started not to care either.…

    I could still physically move but couldn't physically speak. I was so frightened, my first thought was to get to my teacher at the front classroom door.

It was so…

    I was flying, high up in the atmosphere, zooming past clouds, skirting birds, and basking in the hot sun. The sky, a never-ending vast expanse of teal blue, surrounded me, as I flew somewhere. I felt like I was on top of the world. The air rushed past me creating a soft whistle in my ear, but making my body cool. I don't know why, but I was so excited and joyous.…

    When you hear something that is not quite right what are you supposed to do? For me this answer is very simple, say the right answer. If i am sure that i am correct on a matter i will put my foot down, i will argue my case until the opposing side submits and agrees with what i am thinking Although if i am not sure that i am one hundred percent correct i will not initiate the argument. With all of this i might not seem to headstrong but if someone believes i did something i did not do, well there is where the problem lies. I become one of the most stubborn people you could imagine.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    Disbelieve and fear shook my mind as I lie on my back, sitting on top of concrete sandwiched in between the hot metal hood of a car, as the weight pressed down against me it didn’t hurt, my body was too numb to feel anything. All I could feel was a car pushing me further into the ground pushing my lungs down and shutting air out of it. It felt too surreal I kept blinking as if I thought I’d wake up from this mess. I could see sirens and people gathering around me watching in disbelieve, I kept fading in and out of conscience I felt like I was close to death.…
