Personal Narrative: Blood

Decent Essays
Pain. Blood. Hospital. Stitches. Clumsy. A nice way to start out my childhood. It was about ten years ago, when I was three, when I came to realize that I had to be more careful. Since I was two years old, until I was five, I took dance lessons. At the studio, there were multiple classes for different levels and for different styles of dance; every year every dance class in the studio would get together and have a recital. It was the day of the recital, and I was more than ready to perform. The auditorium chairs couldn’t hold me in, just as I couldn’t hold in my excitement. My best friend, still today, and I were standing and playing on the auditorium chairs. These chairs were the concert chairs that flipped once you got up.

The ground came closer and closer until I felt a slight pain right underneath my head. I don’t exactly remember what happened after that moment, but I remember that everyone was crowded around me, and I was rushed to the bathroom. All I can remember was blood, blood, and more blood. There was blood all over my back, starting from somewhere nobody knew. Where had she been cut? Where is the injury? Is she okay? Does she have a lot of blood loss? Those were the same questions I had in my mind, even though I couldn’t think straight. The next thing I knew I was being lifted into someone’s car, and being rushed to the hospital. I sat in the waiting room, in my little tutu and hair matted in blood, waiting for my parents to arrive at the

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    Buffy's vision blurred, damp hair covered part of her face, sticking with wet. She blinked her vision clearer for a minute, not quite ready to pull herself out of the puddle, not quite sure if she could. Face sideways in the water, cold and probably dying, flashes of how ran through her mind almost in slow motion, but almost in hyperspeed. The last weeks of sparring and battle-prep and the impending death march running like blood through her ears. Coming down here, determined, to end it.…

    Linked by Blood Sala, sala, sala, my silver anklets chime as I swish and twirl in the mirror, admiring the skirt of my dabang. I was looking forward to showing the dark blue, flowing dress off at my grandparents’ annual family Ramadan feast. The dress glides as I saunter to the balcony of my room. The pale pink sky was slowly transitioning into a light blue as the sun rose farther into the sky, like an unsatisfied painter painting over his strokes. I breathe in the sweet smell of ripe bananas and flowering roses wafting from our large garden below.…

    We stared at each other, we were the same in personality, yet we were so different. One was a carbon copy, the one everyone wanted to be like, the other was a broken image.

    I have always dreamed of the day where I would be tearing through the skies at seven hundred knots in an F-16. I have always wondered how incredible it must feel to soar above a massive sea clouds thousands of feet in the air. I have always wanted to look around and see three more jet blasting through the sky alongside me and hear nothing but radio chatter and the muffled roar of the engine. I have always felt that I was born to become an outstanding soldier and a stellar pilot. I have a passion for flying that can only be matched by love for this country and my dedication to my family.…

    I flew fast and low over the terrain, my fingertips lazily brushing the treetops. My wings flapped once, and I shot up. I spread them out wide and looked down upon the land that was mine to fly across, mine to fly on, to fly over, to fly. “ROCCO, GET UP, YOU’LL MISS BREAKFAST!” I started, whacked my head on the top bunk, and looked around.…

    The last rays of sun streaked through the purple clouds at a sharp angle as I cut behind the old warehouse. I jammed my hands in the pockets of my worn denim jacket and skirted the thin line of trees headed toward the Ordox. The Ordox was nothing really; just a clearing beside the tracks behind mostly abandoned factories. Sheltered from view by the old buildings, the hard packed dirt and cracked concrete looked like a moonscape.…
