Bring Me the Horizon

Personal Narrative It took us about 3 hours to get to Shakopee, it was only 60 degrees, but with the thousands of people lined up, waiting to get in, it felt like 90. We stood in that line for two hours. For awhile, we talked, we met a variety of people, we laughed, we were excited.

my mind was filled with images of me hauling in flounder after flounder and having the time of my life. I could not have been more wrong.
