Personal Narrative: My First Murder

Improved Essays
In a little southern town called Nashville, GA I am known as the serial killer. This name came to mention many years ago when I committed my first murder of a very well-known community thief. His name was Mr. Buck. This story unfolded on a cold winter night in the little town. Mr. Buck was a known homeless “creature” as some would call him. Mr. Buck and I had multiple run-ins with each other once I caught him on camera stealing from my farm. Although I let his stealing slip for a few weeks, one day I decided to end his life forever. Mr. Buck was always a very mischievous, sneaky fellow. He knew his way around this town very well. He was known to go around from place to place stealing innocent people’s corn from their farm. After many nights …show more content…
So, I bit the bullet and decided to man up and end this steady trail of stealing that had cost my family, and many other community families hundreds of dollars. I pulled my gun up, put Mr. Buck in the crosshairs of my scope, and pulled the trigger with my eyes closed. I then opened my eyes to a very thick cloud of smoke. It was like a horror scene. Once the smoke cleared there was no sign of any three of the corn thieves. That was it; I thought I had blown my only chance. When we came out of hiding we decided to walk over to the corn pile and see if we saw any trace of the victim. After finding no trace of blood anywhere around the area we decided to go get our bloodhound duke and put him on the trail of blood. Duke was the best known bloodhound around the community. If anyone ever needed to find anyone, or anything they would always give us a call. After trailing blood for about 75 yards through the thick woods we finally found Mr. Buck. I finally came face to face with him. I high-fived my brother because we were both so elated that I did not ruin my only once in a lifetime chance. The whole community was happy because now no one had to worry about missing their crops. This night was the night that changed my life

Each of these visions brings him closer to his destiny, which is the return to his ancestors’ ways and becoming a wild animal…
