The Girl-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
Here I stand, a girl who once thought dreams could never become reality, walking across a glass platform, thousands of feet above a rampaging city, hoping that her last breath would not be spent wailing for help. I grew weary, unable to walk straight, gasping, standing amongst hundreds of sapphire cobras dotted with a radiating turquoise, the same as a single glowing cyan door that seemed to be my only hope. The view around me, was what I hoped were walls, and not rushing winds carrying snowflakes miles away forcefully. How am I supposed to get past this, theres a blizzard two inches away from my face, and snakes blending into the blue atmosphere around. I had to be careful not to step on any, if I did my leg would become smothered with scales. Hesitant, I cautiously crept towards them, casting dismay from my eyes, feeding their desire to pounce at me at any moment. Closing my eyes, I took my first step, relieved as I opened my eyes to see my floral vans clearly. Confidence began flooding my ego after I took my second step, and my pace picked up. Raising my knees high to avoid their tongues, and staying away from the atmosphere around me. I thought I was almost done when I looked up to see I only made it halfway, and I was once again hesitant as to what was about to come.

    Ironically, since it was midsummer and I wasn’t so physically in shape, the trail’s inclines and declines caused my body to externally ache all over—I knew I would surely feel it the next morning. I felt as if the stony trail desired my absence and wanted to tumble me over the edge of the steep hill beside it. I was in the interior of the pack at an incline when I heard a twig snap and a screech coming from my youngest brother, Andy, as if Michael Myers arose from the woods and asked him what his last words were. “SNAKE!” he yelped as he fell backwards almost creating a domino effect on the rest of us.…

    I took another small terrified step closer to my doom as I looked over the sharp edge, seeing the dark water get further and further down from the edge. I quickly retreated back to my previous spot and crawled on all foursto keep from falling off the side. I leaned over the edge again to get a look at the surrounding area, and I saw some smaller boulders towards the base of the cliff. As if I was not already terrified, seeing these rocks made me fear that I would not jump far enough and go crashing into the rocks. My family, getting sick of the fact that I still had not jumped,…
