A Day In The Woods: Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
On a bright sunny day at the park, Mitali, Tatiana, and I were all on our phones. Little did we know, it was about to rain. When the rain was starting to come down hard, we all ran for cover. It kept on raining so Mitali had an idea, to go to her house. “Let’s take a shortcut.” said Mitali.
We all agreed with Mitali’s idea, and went through the woods. “I think we’re lost.” said Mitali.
We all sat in the woods, and it was freezing. I was still worried about the situation. I was so scared I had an anxiety attack. We all went deeper into the woods. The psycho was still following us. It felt like he was right behind me the entire time. No matter how many steps I took forward, he took the same amount of steps to catch up. The faster we went, the

Just try to stay calm.” Mitali whispered. “Stay calm? How am I supposed to stay calm?” I shouted.
As you can see, I’m not the person you would want to be next to in a situation like this. The guy kept following us, and at this point, I can only think about the fact that I’m going to die, and my life will instantly be over. I’m actually trying to stay calm, but it’s impossible. Tatiana was trying to keep my calm, but there was no hope. “I’m gonna die.” I whispered.
We eventually hid behind a large tree and thought we were safe. That only lasted about a half a second, because he found us. He had long dark hair, that looked really greasy. I couldn’t stop crying. I instantly knew that we were all gonna die. We got up and bolted. We were faster than a bullet. I screamed louder than I ever have before. As we ran, I thought we lost him. At least that’s what I hoped for. But no, he was standing right in front of us, staring me dead in the eye. He reached his long arms out, as if he was going to give me hug. I looked at him, slowly backing away, he swiped us into his arms and ran. All I really wanted, was for this to be a really bad dream. I wanted to scream, but I didn’t want him to know I was

“I’m not quite sure to be honest with you.” said Mitali.
I looked out the cabin window, it was clearly night time. I couldn’t see a thing. But I knew, we were deep in the woods. Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming towards me. It sounded like they were getting louder and louder each time I heard one. The psycho guy who was following us stared at us from the other side of the room. I wanted to jump out the window, but it was probably locked and I would probably get even more lost. I had so many thoughts racing through my mind.

Eventually, the sun rose, and I could finally see through the window. The guy who kidnapped us was nowhere in sight, so we made a run for it. We darted out the door as quiet as possible. We were back in the woods. There was a path that led to a parking lot on the ground. We knew exactly where we were. For the first time in what felt like a long time, I actually felt safe. We saw a Walmart down the street, and walked to it. When we got there, we asked our parents to pick us up.
“Well, I’ll see you guys at school on Monday.” Mitali said.
“Bye!” Tatiana and I said in unison.
We all went to our houses, and I was posting on all my social media that I was

    For three years, Father had refused the idea of leaving North Carolina. But my brother, Ben, sent us another letter, addressed as he always did to John Benjamin Wilks and Katie. In the letter Ben was praising his new farm, the richness of the land and how many more acres he was clearing. He told of the bountiful crops of corn and wheat that he would be reaping in a few weeks, more corn and wheat per acre than Father had ever gotten from our old worn out farm in North Carolina. He told of the abundance of water, game, and timber.…

    A Taste of Domesticity in Stokes State Forest Throughout my four years of high school, I had never had a friend come back from a post-prom weekend in Wildwood and describe to me what sounded like a “good time.” The stories they told always had the same synopsis that centered around drunken fun and even drunker stupidity. Hordes of juniors and seniors slept in small dirty motel rooms. They spent way too much money on alcohol, and they often got swindled into paying hundreds of dollars to stay in an otherwise dirt cheap motel because no decent place would allow teenagers to party like they did. They sat in their hotel rooms and drank the beautiful New Jersey beach days away, waiting for the sun to set so they could continue their drunken…

    It was a night like most others in the abandoned ghost town. All I saw was darkness and shadows creeping around every corner. I heard the howls of coyotes and the hooting of owls through the midnight air. The whistling wind rang the rusty, wind chimes dangling from the old run-downed mansion. The sign above read “Muddy Creek Manor”.…

    I walked to the front door to look through the peep hole but, due to my five foot stature, all I could see was the top of my porch. I listened quietly through the door. I never answered the door when I was home alone, some habit I had gotten after being reminded by my mother a thousand times, and I had a system worked out with my friends that they would yell through the door if it was them. I waited patiently but I heard nothing but flies buzzing and dogs parking from far away. I started to walk back to the office, chalking it up to the neighborhood kids when I heard my back gate open.…
