393 Words2 Pages

One Saturday morning, I woke up at like 8am to the sound of my sister eating some chips or something. She usually likes to bother me in the morning, so I was surprised that she was doing something else. I just tried to ignore it and fall back asleep, but i couldn’t, so that’s when I got up to use the bathroom. I heard my sister finishing up her snack and getting another one.

  • Personal Narrative: My Personal Artifact

    375 Words  | 2 Pages

    My personal Artifact is a baseball my son and I caught at the Giants game. It is white, round, has red stitches, and is smooth when new, but when we caught it it was beat up and the blue writing on it was smeared. A baseball is small and light in size. It can be thrown at speeds up to 100 MPH, or hit at at speeds higher than 100MPH, so when playing the game or watching you should be paying attention at all times. A baseball is made of a rubber or cork center, wrapped in yarn very tight, covered by white leather with red stitching around the out side, making it a very hard ball.

As I rushed into the lavatory, nearly taking out the door as well as a roaming delinquent avoiding class, I was hit with an atrocious odor that ravaged my nose. However, the stench started to dissipate as I approached the trio of urinals that were positioned against the wall.
