WaterBall By:Robert Harrison
¨Shh.¨I whispered to my mom.

As I snuck up my brother when he was reaching for the baseball I hit in the lake.
“Splash! ”, he went flying into the cold and murky lake. While he was in the lake I instantly, ran as fast as I could to the house.While, I was running I was screaming “mom he's trying to kill me!”.

Eventually he caught up to me. So, my brother ran after me and grabbed me by the ankles And took me to the lake and held my head under the brown murky water. Out of nowhere, he all started to laugh.

    Narrative Essay On Bigfoot

    Dimitri Letsos Narrative Essay (Personal) It was a hot Sunday near the end of May of 2011, my brother and I were playing catch outside when my friend came over to hang out. We discussed what we should play, I thought that we should play a game called 500, which was where you threw the ball up in the air and if you caught it you would get a certain amount of points, until you reached 500. My brother was a more creative and thought of a game he called “Bigfoot” which I guess was a game where you chased the person who was “Bigfoot” and if you caught him you would become Bigfoot. I thought it was stupid so I said, “I think 500 is better, and someone’s going to get hurt.” My brother replied with, “Don’t be such a baby.”…
