Personal Narrative Essay : Short Story : Nude Luck '

It was a hot summer day on Lake Logan Martin, perfect for taking out the jet skis with my best friend Jake. We were showing off and trying to impress some hot girls on a pontoon when all the sudden, Jakes jet ski went flying upside down through the air like a drunk pelican. Before I knew it, all I could see was the bright orange and yellow colors of his jet ski zooming by my head, and Jake hit the water head first causing water to splash all over my face. I rushed over to where his jet ski landed and I was sure he was dead. I dove into the lake and grabbed him, he felt lifeless as I drug him to the surface. A patrol boat sped up to us and helped pull him on the boat. Thankfully he just suffered from a broken clavicle and a broken arm but it

I opened the door of the huge truck like vehicle, threw my backpack inside and sat down in the black leather seat. My sister was next to me it the middle seat holding our little dog daisy and one of her plush toys in her hands. A few minutes later, my mother got inside, started the engine and we pulled out of the driveway. I took one last glance at our old house knowing this would be the last time I would ever see it and then saw my friend waving goodbye from his house. I waved back to him and then turn around in my seat and looked at the road ahead. It was going to be a long trip, but I was ready for it. I started getting more and more excited about our new house in Idaho and what kind of new memories I could make there, all the new people I would meet, and friends I would make. Then I thought, maybe Idaho won’t be so bad, maybe it will be even better than

The water was so deep I couldn’t feel the bottom, I then started to drown. Looking around frantically I saw my mother on the side trying to get the life guards attention. When he wouldn’t move, he and another man go in to save

The waves were immense, so we were all told not to go too far out. As my family started to get out of the water, after swimming for awhile. I decided to stay in the water and swim for a little bit longer. I was swimming more remote out to the deep sea. Suddenly I felt my foot start to sink underneath something grainy and soggy. Struggling to pull my foot back my other foot started to go under. I was panicked now, not know what was happening was the most appalling part the whole time. I finally figured out what was happening, I was sinking in some deep sand. As I was yelling for help frantically, I suddenly realized no one could hear me, I was on my own. I pulled and pulled until I felt my foot be released from the sand. I swam as fast as I could, when I finally got back to the shore, I looked at my family and said let's go back

Life jacket all strapped on, getting to the last step and I’m in. I feel the rush of the cold water running all over my body like a pack of fire ants attacking their prey. I let go of the ladder and step on the lake floor, slim, allege, little water bugs everywhere, the smell of fresh lake with a hint of fish comes to me. I walk around on the lake floor going deeper as I go, my life jacket starts to kick in and I’m loosing footing as I continue walking into the unknown. I get to a point where there’s a clear line where there’s a drop off, one side is the lake floor the other is a black hole. Pretty soon it’s me and the lake, and I just lay back and enjoy every bit of it. The blue sky with white streams left behind from the passing jets, making lines that cross each other every which way. The waves coming in from boats way out and beyond, gently hitting me and pushing me just inches closer towards shore. Birds sing their song, pine trees blow in the wind, sun beating down hitting my face, blinding me as it always does. I return to the real world and realize I floated back to where I started out, the lake knew it was time to head in. I step over to the silver ladder who spends its days and nights in this clear, cold lake helping those who dare to step in. I get up to the top of the ladder and step onto the dock, where my towel was waiting, to provide some warmth back to me. I wrap my towel around me and start the walk back to our beach house. I am careful not to slip on the rocks that washed up from the lake, and I make it to grass and flat

The wave swallowed me as if I was not going to live the next day. I was underwater for almost 30 seconds long. My lungs were inflated and I couldn't breath! My mouth was open and I could taste the nasty salty cold water on my tastebuds nothing but nasty salty cold Water. As I came back up I gasped for air trying to catch my breath. As I looked up I saw my boogie board where my dad was holding with his hands getting ready to go get a

It is a monday morning in Ensenada, México. The sun rising, I can hear the waves crashing, seagulls squawking, and the smell seaweed and salt in the air. The sound of quietness and my uncle telling me to wake up. The smell of pancakes and eggs, my mom and aunt are making breakfast. My uncle is going to his truck when pulled out his white and blue surfboard. I immediately run to get mine. We run out to the ocean, my uncle jumps in before me. He lets out the loudest screech and jumps right out of the water. He says it is as cold as ice. I arrive to my house to get our wetsuits.

It felt like drowning, a complete strange world full of extraordinary things, every person in that world were lost, some of the faces looks so familiar, I was worried about what’s going to happen next? Where are we know? I never understand what happened after that but I teleport to another place, It was a cold mountain and I was with my brother. That was a scary place too, but the weirdest part was my brother. He was sitting on a computer chair and rolling all over that time. It was a very cold and weird place and suddenly everything collapse, I fell down and I started to think that finally it’s getting over, this odd, strange and unknown world is dying. I get up from a tiring sleep, like I’ve had a terrible nightmare. All of us for sure had

had jumped into the 8ft pool and he did not know how to swim. I looked at him for a second and he came back up and was coughing. I looked around me and saw my mom and kept yelling "Mom, Sam is drowning!" She looked like she couldn't hear me so I knew I had to jump in and try to save him from drowning. As I jumped in I opened my eyes and saw him trying to get up so I went under him and pushed him up. When he got up it was my turn to try to save him from drowning. As I jumped in I opened my eyes and saw him trying to get up so I went under him and pushed him up. When he got up it was my turn to try and save myself. At that momebt I just thought to myself, how was I going to get back up? All i remember after that i closed my eyes and felt someone

I was pumped and ready as I started to walk towards the water while looking at the set of waves, to see what wave I was going to catch. As I stepped into the water a great big shiver went through my body telling me that the water was going to be cold. I jumped onto my board and stated to paddle out. When I got out to the bigger waves I sat on my board and looked back at everyone watching me, waiting for me to do something, I then kept paddling a bit to wait for the perfect wave to come up. I was just about to start paddling when I felt something rub up against my leg, I turned around to see what is was and saw a massive great white shark behind me. The shark than got caught in my leg rope and snapped it off, it then threw me into the water

My mom call me to the kitchen. I rushed down stairs as if I was a cheetah trying to catch my prey. I kissed my mom on the cheek ten times and said thank you, thank you, thank you. I ran outside. I layed on the grass thinking what would happen the next day, but my thoughts went away

The drive seemed like forever , I rolled down the window I felt the crisp air in my face I heard the chickadees chirping , I could finally catch a glimpse of the lake there was a layer of thick fog on the water almost like a blanket.I could see the big sign saying welcome to sunken lake.When we parked I was

It was about three years ago that my family and I had decided to listen to my sister and plan this trip to a lake. We could not resist sitting on our living room sofas and letting the humid air slap us right across the face. So Friday night we went out to the store to buy everything we imaged we would need to make a successful family trip. So Saturday morning comes around six we are close to ready in leaving to the lake. It was a struggle for me to get up in the morning so as soon as we got on the road with the van my eyes fell shut. According to my dad it was a two hour drive before the engine of the car stopped and my eyes were open again. We happen to be in some sort of parking lots. Once we knew we were at the parking lots of the lake we unpacked everything we brought our bags with extra clothes, food, balls, and the canopy’s. We had to walk through a pathway that was surrounded by very giant trees until we arrived to the end of the trees and was this signed that read “WELCOME TO LAKE PERRIS”.

Although I was so into leaving the house I did not go too far. No not because I was six, but because where I lived was perfect for me. See I live and a block of about seven houses on each side and we are the second from the street corner and right at the corner I would turn around and go down the other side of the streat. About half way through the neighbor 's street was a sewer creat and I found joy making little and big turns around it, about halfway in my little oval was our driveway. So really I was going about ten yards away from my house. But that was perfect for me, and that day was perfect. It was latter in the evening towards the end of summer so it was nice and warm out but not cold. The sun was just under the hills but not to far. When it is like that it seems to stay like that for a long time but that was great because it gave the sky a peaceful glow that seemed to fulfill the clear blue sky, the sky seemed to feel joyful when it is like this. How the light glowed through the trees it was as if the shadows were dancing with the light. the breeze was soft but nice pushing me and cooling me off. The time, the place, the view everything was perfect then when I was almost to where I would pass the drive way I lost my balance for a moment and fell over. I landed in a weird, trapped position.

My shoes hit the pavement of my porch, and I was over the backyard fence and gone. My mind raced. A million things could go wrong, I thought, my dad could catch me, I could come face to face with a kidnapper, attacked by a dog, arrested, hit by a car, anything could happen. I hugged myself and tried not to
