Personal Narrative: My Life Without You

I 'm trying to imagine a life without you──it 's like living in a desert without food, water, clothing, and shelter. How horrible! You 've made, and continue to make my life easier. With you, I can play games, surf the internet, watch videos, read e-books, make calls (video and voice), and listen to radio and music player, just to name a few. No doubt, however, you can have some negative impact on me when misused. Health experts have warned that radiation from you possess a serious health risk such as cancer, brain tumors, headaches, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and fatigue.

They pursued the fleeing robbers and caught one of them, with the rest escaping with gunshot wounds. Luckily, however, the robbers didn 't get to my flat before they were engaged in a gun duel by my school security guards.
