Angel Driving Narrative

2157 Words9 Pages

After driving almost four hours, Angel and I had finally arrived at the prison. My head jerked forward as she zoomed into the parking space and the car came to an abrupt stop. Her driving reminded me of an amusement park ride called the Mad Mouse I'd ridden while vacationing with some so-called friends for spring break in Myrtle Beach in the early 2000's. My body was shaken, stirred, yanked from left to right and my neck was given a temporary case of whiplash.

She didn't say anything, she only pointed toward a tabled near a wall of windows that I'm pretty sure was bulletproofed and unbreakable. I shook my head as an overweight woman started complaining about her feet hurting. I looked down to see her heels hanging off of her sandals and toes jammed together in the front of the pointy shoes. For the first time since granny had passed, I felt like laughing, so I did. The lady with the too small shoes, rolled her eyes at me just as the guard told us that we could find a place to sit. I covered my mouth with my hand and followed Angel to the table she'd been eyeing since we had been standing with the group.

    The story Killer Angels provides an in-depth perspective of both Confederate and Union soldiers during the Civil War.
