Personal Narrative: A Horror Story

For an ordinary guy, it was a strange day, and it all started when I had just been sitting in my house watching YouTube. When I was in the middle of a really funny video and I started to hear this faint, high pitched eerie noise. Thinking that the noise was coming from the video as a joke to the viewers, I started to turn down the volume. Still, I could hear the the noise. It seemed as if it was getting louder. The volume eventually reached zero. Still, the noise carried on. Beginning to get tense and scared, I got up and journeyed downstairs into the kitchen. The ringing seemed a lot more intense down there. I could feel the noise vibrating inside my ears like and toothbrush (which by the way, if you haven't ever stuck a vibrating toothbrush

in your ear before, put it on your bucket list). I checked the cupboards, the drawers, everywhere. I still couldn't find the source. I concluded that the noise definitely was not coming from inside my house. This conclusion led me to enter my backyard. I was definitely right, the noise was at least 47 time louder out there. I walked over towards the cellar doors and pulled them open. The moment I pulled on the doors with the tiniest amount of strength, they flew open with a huge gust of wind sending me onto my behind in the grass. I stood up more shaken than I had ever been in my life. I looked down into the dark, scary cellar and I saw an ominous glowing deep red color. I slowly walked down the stairs, still shaken, the further down the stairs I got, the brighter the red color got. Then I saw it, a bright red cube sitting on the floor. I could feel its presence and energy in my veins and in the air. It was a satisfying power. This feeling lead me closer and closer to the mysterious cube. Without thinking, I picked it up and I felt different, oddly different. Then it began to glow brighter and brighter. It unexpectedly became super hot. Under the intense heat of the cube, I dropped it. (19) Not good. As I raced back to the stairs scared for my life, the heat kept growing and I could feel the heat on my back. I looked back and the cube was rapidly growing until, BANG!
In the hospital, I woke up confused and aching. It had been two weeks since I had seen the light of day according to a nurse sitting beside my soft, warm, bed. The nurse called the doctor in on a black walkie talkie. The doctor quickly came into the room and stared at me in awe. Taking note that he was looking at my limbs (the rest of my body being covered in a blanket), I looked down at myself and saw scars and cuts all along my arms and legs. It took me long enough but slowly my memory came back and I recalled what had happened. The ringing, the doors flying open, and the mysterious red cube. As I thought about it, questions then began to pour out of my mouth and into the doctor's’ faces. Most of them he couldn't answer. He then filed out of the room after informing me that I need another 3 months in the hospital.
Furiated, I clenched my fist and and punched the wall...hard. Expecting to feel great pain, to my surprise, it went right through the wall. I thought that it must've been a fluke in the wall. But just to make sure, I tried getting up and lifting up the bed. With one hand and great ease, I picked it up and through it through the wall making an even bigger hole for me to go through. I was in awe, I had superpowers that I thought only existed in comic books, I had super strength! Before exiting the hospital, I came across a mirror. I paused over it, looking at it, at me, the new me. I was about six foot two inches. I had longer, brown hair and my arms looked huge for being only 17. Eventually I got over it and jumped out through the hole in the wall, forgetting that I was on the seventh floor of a hospital. I was heading head first towards the ground and I thought to lean upwards for some reason, surprisingly, it worked. I was flying! Whatever way I leaned, that's the way I went. I flew back to my house weaving through skyscrapers and dodging airplanes. When I finally reached it, I landed and walked inside. I plopped down on the couch and flipped in the T.V. I found the news and on it there was a weird story about another guy with superpowers. His name was Volkengar They were talking about how he was terrorizing the country. I was shocked. A summing that I was the only other human being in the world to have superpowers, I realized that I had to stop him.
I had to train, in my spare time, I found him and watched him fight, I studied his every move. He could fly and throw these green energy balls from his hands. I knew it wasn’t going to be an easy fight. There was one thing that I discovered that would make it a whole lot easier though. A new superpower. So when I was sitting in my house, I had a candle lit. I decided to touch the flame and when I did, my whole arm ignited but I didn't feel a burning sensation. If I punched with my firearms, it threw a fireball. After about 3 months of training and studying, I felt it was time to fight Volkengar.
Deciding it was time to fight, my first priority was to locate Volkengar.

It didn't take long to hear the mass destruction and shrieks of terror coming from a nearby city. The city was only a few miles away and it would only take me about 30 seconds to get there. When I got there I found the city almost completely deserted. Buildings were collapsed and up in flames, and there was torn up concrete and rubble all over the ground. It looked horrible. As I flew deeper into the city, the sound of the explosions grew louder and I knew i was getting close. I turned and corner and there he was, attacking a group of defenseless people. The people looked badly injured and cut up. Just as Volkengar was about to finish them off with a green energy ball, I decided to throw a rock at him. It hit him in the back of the head and he whipped around faster than a cheetah. “And who might you be?” He asked. “Just another defenseless human being ready to cripple under my power?” He said. He then threw an energy ball at me. Taking a flame from a nearby sidewalk fire, I ignited and countered with a fireball. The look on his face was in so much shock it was kind of funny. He clearly didn't expect that. In the blink of an eye that confused face turned into anger and he flew at me...fast. I rose and bolted right back at him and used my super strength to hit him and send him flying back into and building.He popped up right away and hit me from behind and I felt this horrible pain on the upper right side of my back. Some how managing to stay on my feet I shot up into the air to lure him into following me. It worked. I flew in and out of skyscrapers and I lost him. I snuck up from behind him, fireball in hand and threw it at him and nailed him. I was a man on a mission to destroy him. (1) Quickly, he darted out of sight through the buildings. (4) I was looking for him for a while when I saw him emerge from a building. “You're not bad. You’re putting up a good fight against me anyways. But

that’s ok, I was going easy.” He claimed. He then charged at me hitting me hard. He flew me through a building and threw me to the ground. He hovered over me and I knew it was the end. Ready to strike one of the kids that I had saved earlier yelled, “Hey, you, come and get me!” this delay gave me enough time to get up and put Volkengar in a headlock. Borrowing and flame from a grass fire, I lit up and slowly my whole body was on fire. Volkengar screamed under the burn from my arm. I let him go and threw him to the ground. I threw a huge fireball at him and he was on the ground unconscious.
I had defeated Volkengar. I took him to prison and put him in a super protective titanium prison cell. I was a hero. Over the next couple of years the country repaired itself from the damage that Volkengar had caused. During this reconstruction, the government hired a well known sculpture artist to create a sculpture of me for all to look at. I will always be remembered a hero on this planet. The fame and the glory will always follow me. I don't mind though, it’s a nice addition to my now crazy life. But I guess that’s how your life changes when you're the most powerful human being in the world.
