Trampoline: A Short Story

Decent Essays
We threw the trampoline in the garbage bin. John's nose what swollen, purple, black, and many different other colors. When ever I saw him hit would scare me because I would forget he had a broken nose. Then when I would remember it would make me laugh for how stupid of an idea he had to get it.

A day after we got back from the hospital I asked him if he wanted to play basketball. He wasn't to happy with me after I said that. I kept asking him over and over again if he wanted to play, he would just groan then walk away to his room.

After about two weeks of having John with a broken nose it finally healed. He asked if I wanted to play soccer and I said yes because I wanted to see what crazy idea he had in store. I walk outside and expect

    One day my friend had me over to his house and we played games and ran around all night, then when it was morning we were bored and we decided we wanted to play a video game and we decided that we would fight to see who would get the comfy chair. Little did we know that it was not a good idea!!! We ended up fighting for the chair and he jumped on it and then I tried to get it by jumping on him and forcing him out but instead we spun around and around. I ended up falling off and was so dizzy that I stumbled and hit the fire plays head first and got a big old goose egg! I learned not to jump on a spinny chair, let alone with another person on it.…

The blood started to drip out of his mouth and onto my shirt and stained it. He was so heavy, I didn't want to drop him because he was so fragile. I stopped every couple of minute to fix him because he would start to slide down and my arms were so weak and tired.…

    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.”…
