Personal Narrative: Awake

Improved Essays
Awake. I was always awake. As if it were not already hard enough to sleep before with all the people I had lost going through my head, it seemed, whenever I shut my eyes, they would be there. Alex, dad, Gray, Suzie and now, far too fresh in my mind for any rest at all, Toshiko and Owen.
It was only right that I did something productive rather than dwell on the past. Nothing could bring them back and I certainly could not join them. I stood and pulled on clothes hurriedly, it was never usually this cold. Something was wrong.

    Good, Ulrich thought, the fool believes I have put this feud to an end, perhaps when my men arrive we can lift the tree off him, then throw him down a very precipitous hillside, with his current injuries, it would kill him most definitely. Or maybe he will simply put a bullet in him and end his miserable life, he will not be to picky as to how his life ends, there is no need for me to scourge him, just as long as I know that it does.

Ulrich hoped the man lying near him would stay quiet, he detested this man and it took everything in his power not to insult him.…

    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.…
