I sat comfortably in my usual chair, which brought me some sort of calm and reassurance, and tuning my already tuned guitar only to stall. I gave my dad one last glance that asked “ready?” and then I strummed freely.

Up, down, down, Up, down, down…My father soloed over my music by plucking chords to follow my tempo and sound. I remember thinking that we sounded like something you would hear on a artists album playing Spanish music, yet it felt so effortless. I continued playing, letting the music literally poor out of me as if it was seeping through my very pores. It was the first time I felt one with the guitar and the music. We played our music as the summer sky changed from a pink and orange to the bluest of night sky, all illuminated with nothing but the stars and the fire in front of

Personal Narrative My life is fulfilled with experiences that are mostly harmful to me whether it comes to concussions or placing my hand on a hot iron.

Okay, this is a good start, Nicole thought to herself. But now I don't know what else to write. Maybe I'll write a story that isn't horror. Maybe I'll write a different story.
