The Girl-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
Here I stand, a girl who once thought dreams could never become reality, walking across a glass platform, thousands of feet above a rampaging city, hoping that her last breath would not be spent wailing for help. I grew weary, unable to walk straight, gasping, standing amongst hundreds of sapphire cobras dotted with a radiating turquoise, the same as a single glowing cyan door that seemed to be my only hope. The view around me, was what I hoped were walls, and not rushing winds carrying snowflakes miles away forcefully. How am I supposed to get past this, theres a blizzard two inches away from my face, and snakes blending into the blue atmosphere around. I had to be careful not to step on any, if I did my leg would become smothered with scales. Hesitant, I cautiously crept towards them, casting dismay from my eyes, feeding their desire to pounce at me at any moment. Closing my eyes, I took my first step, relieved as I opened my eyes to see my floral vans clearly. Confidence began flooding my ego after I took my second step, and my pace picked up. Raising my knees high to avoid their tongues, and staying away from the atmosphere around me. I thought I was almost done when I looked up to see I only made it halfway, and I was once again hesitant as to what was about to come.

    Seeing nothing, I searched for the snake on both sides of the tall, scorched golden grass and rocks for approximately thirty seconds until I realized my brother was insane—there was nothing near us. We all decided it would be best just to forget about so we continued up the hill. When we got to the top of the mountain, there was a bench made of various sized slate grey, oval rocks; it was ancient and slowly deteriorating but surprisingly stable. It looked like the Native Americans put it together before Columbus took all their land in 1492. As I assembled myself onto the bench, I admired the opening of the trees that was roughly ten feet wide; I was seeing the world at just the right…
