Personal Narrative: Like Everything In My Life

Improved Essays
This isnt a happy story or an epic romance, the girl won meet the boy and fall hopelessly in love anf there wont be a cut and dry ending. Because this is life and the reality i like to claim i live in isnt one type of story. It’s multiple and endless

I couldnt get her out, my hand stuck to her clothes and i was to weak to carry her body that was fulled with booze.

No evidence of it happening except for the gash on her head and her mumblings of how i had pushed her and it was all my fault.

My mother died four months after my brother, some would say it was because we had a curse over the family, but it was just her liver that had failed, her skin and eyes a sickish yellow. I had watched her eyes roll back as i enterd the room, my eldest brother yelling for me to get
