The Hatch-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
The Hatch Marcy and I were leaving to go to the movies. I grabbed my warmest coat from my closet and we got on our way. Marcy was talking about the movie when we pulled into our apartment parking lot. We saw when we pulled in that our door was wide open like all the way. This startled us because we were both positive we closed it.

Since we both weren't that strong or brave we called the police. When they showed up we told them everything they turned the house upside down but could find absolutely nothing. Marcy didn't feel safe in there but I convinced her it was fine. Eventually evening came and we were getting ready for bed. I went in my closet to get some clothes, and I noticed several things were missing. This was odd but I convinced myself I had just misplaced them.

Eventually they broke thru and saw him. I could see the craziness in his eyes.

Acting fast, I took one massive swing and got him right across the face. He screamed and ran right out our back door and into the darkness. I stayed inside with marcy and called the police. They arrived asked me to describe him, but I really didn't get a good look at anything, but his eyes. They took a few blood samples of his blood on the

    It did kind of scare me since it’s been awhile since I heard one of them howling like that. I felt that it’s mating season for the coyotes because I only hear that type of howl like once or twice a year. There’s another forest behind us where our different neighbor owns, the forest is quite dense enough for deer’s, coyotes, raccoons, or possums to live on. There is a small creek for water also down there but during the summer it gets nasty because of the cows that come into that pasture. Inside the forest there is a fence for the cows, usually in these woods we don’t hear about the cows getting killed or injured by any animals so I’m glad of…

    I am happy to announce that the Houston Astros have developed three separate ticket plans for the upcoming season. We must consider several things when determining our pricing structure. As an organization, we need to be cognizant that there are many different kinds of fans, therefore, the design of the ticket structure must reach out to these varied types of customers. Some fans will come for day games while others will only attend weekend games. Additional supporters may only attend games once or twice a year, while others will come several times during the season.…
