Personal Narrative: The Gymnastics Phenomenon

Ed: Simone! I cannot even remember the last time I saw you, this gymnastics phenomenon had just begun. How is your brother?

Simone: Ed, it is so good to see you. My brother is doing well, I wish he was here, he talks about how much he misses working with you.

Ed: I miss him too. Such a great guy, here let’s take a seat over there if you would like. We can catch up.

Simone: I would love to, my life has been chaotic lately, I need good, casual conversation for once. Especially one without cameras all up in my face.

Ed: Well, I have seen you in the media, but what is going on in your life besides what is on the television?

Ed: See! Put it into perspective and the decision was not so hard after all.

Simone: Thank you for all the help. There will be other social events I can participate in. Oh my gosh Ed! We have only talked about my problem! What is going on with you?

Ed: About that. A few weeks ago I stopped a bank robbery. Now before you freak out, that is not even the problem. The other day I was sent an envelope with a playing card inside.

Simone: Ed that’s amazing! I don’t understand though, what is so bad about a playing card.

Ed: It is not just an ordinary card. It has addresses and times written on it. I have to go to each address and solve the problem that has occurred, but I must do it casually.
