Lost in Death Valley (alternate ending)
Me, Donna, my daughter, Gina, and her friend, Jenny got stranded in the middle of one of the most dangerous places in the world. There was nothing even remotely green, the place was a desert, and it had an area of 3 million acres. We were going to drive to a landmark but we must have taken a wrong turn once we hit the mountains, I tried the GPS but that got us more lost. Then our supplies including gas ran out and we have been walking ever since.
After an hour or two of walking toward the sun we saw a cloth tent just reaching into view, it occurred to me that we were still a mile away but I couldn’t help but scream, “Hey do you girls see that?”
“See what?” Gina said rudely.
“The tent!” I repeated

excitingly We started to walk towards it and after a 20 minute walk we were there. The place was just abandoned but was under some trees with some seemingly fresh, good water! We were so happy when we saw it that we must have drank a gallon of it. We slept inside the tents for that night then woke up early in the morning. When we woke up that’s where we are right now. It was really hot, hotter than anywhere else in the states, so hot that you could feel the sun beating through your clothes. I woke the other girls up, they woke up with a disgusted look on their face. “I hate this place.” Jenny said. “You just spoke for us all.” I replied. Without a word I walked to the water hose and turned the nozzle and water came dripping out , I layed my head on the sand below it and let it pour into my mouth and it tasted like irony, dirty water.
Way different than yesterday, yesterday it tasted like the best water i’ve ever had. Then It smelt burning wood then I stood up and looked back at Gina who was rotating a hotdog she must have gotten from the camp tents.
“Breakfast is ready!” she shouted.
I sprinted to the campfire and grabbed a hotdog stuck it on a long twig and sank my teeth into a hotdog , it tasted a bit undercooked but i will never get the taste and goodness out of a hotdog ever again.
A few hours went by of searching for more supplies we found a couple empty bottles that we filled with water and a bag of “fast oatmeal” and walked out from under the trees and into the blaring sun. But then we realized that we’ve left one of their bags at the camp, when we found the bag they found a flare gun. When Gina shot the flare it made a sizzling sound and blinded us with a red light.
“We’re gonna wait until someone sees that flare and comes here!”
I walked over to the girls and told them to start walking towards the car which was about an hour north in straight line. When we got to the car we waited for an hour then a helicopter came by and saw the camp. Our car being nearly full now drove to the helicopter were we were flown to
safety.

But then we found this little water fall the lead to a big pond. The bast part was the water was the clearest I had ever seen. So we didn 't have to defect it or anything. All of us were really thirsty. We were at that water hole for a half hour until everyone was filled up with water and we saved some in are water bottles so we could have more if that was the only one we found in the forest.
The sandlot was a vacant lot we especially used for unorganized sports. It was a place during my childhood years where I could go and not have a worry on my mind, except being with my best friends and playing some baseball. The lot was a place where the memories of endless fun and games took place. I can still hear the voices of neighbors yelling at us to go home because of the tennis balls we hit against their houses and off their windows. To us the sandlot was better than Wrigley Field, nothing else could compare to all the times we had there.
Well, my escape plan failed. I was able to escape to the woods but later that evening I realized I could never make the long journey alone in the woods with no food or water.
Road I descended a hill and came upon a narrow bridge. The car went off
A couple hours later we made it to the park. We started looking for a spot to set up are camp. We found a good spot right in the middle of everything so we started unloading and setting up are camp. After we got done we decided to walk around and see what was near us. I found a little trail that we decided to go on we had about 30 minutes of day light left. The trail went to a little mountain top that had a pretty cool view. We headed back to the camp and we were deciding were we should go tomorrow. We decided to go to Cades Cove and check out that because its a
Time continued to tick as we sat and waited for our food. It felt like eternity had passed before the waiter came back to give us the most delicious dish I had ever had. I dipped my warm tortilla chip in the smoldering
I started to struggle academically as well as athletically, when my closet cousin, Alex Wolfe, committed suicide last year. I felt like I didn't care anymore and I was mad at the world. I was also mad at the school, so therefor, I didn't want do anything for it. I had an eye opening dream one night that involved Alex and I woke up the next morning and made a decision. I knew that I had overcame many obstacles and trials so I knew I had the guts to overcome this as well. I knew Alex would want me to excel instead of fall behind, so I did it. I went into every class that day with the perspective that I was going to do my very best in whatever I do. That same thing went for practices and games. I now regularly stay in that mindset and it helps
When I was younger I would constantly pester my mom about what her life was like in Mexico. From what her life was like to what animals they had on the farm; I was always curious. As I grew older I asked questions less and less, thinking I would never get a chance to see the place my mom had once called home. Neither of us ever thought she’d return after coming to America in hopes of better opportunities nearly two decades ago. Despite how I felt at the time, I am glad to have had the chance to visit Mexico.
We sat there for a few more minutes then I got up and yelled for everyone to get ready to start moving again. I donned my pack and tightened the straps, and after making sure everyone else was ready, started off down the winding trail to the night’s campsite.
Snorkeling in Hawaii at night to see the manta rays twirl and flip underneath us as they feed anxiously on krill, was once in a lifetime experience. To end the night you may think I had a restful sleep or a walk along the beach…. No I ended up throwing up all over my brothers in the back seat
I had gone probably a little bit to far and should had some markings or something to back onto the trail. I had gotten lost I was in the woods for about a day with just me and my gun I didn't eat the whole rest of the day but I had a huge sack full of bision. I had been sitting there about twenty four hours and I heard pounding at the ground so I had to go look because it was my only way out or else I was stranded, it ended up it was some bision but while I was out there it looked a little familiar. It was where I had left and I ran for a total of proably three hours and finally saw the end of our wagon train and didn't loose my group, thank
That’s how I can get him to hand his keys over to me trustingly. He knows I’m boss at this.
In hopes to get to the hotel quickly, we left the airport scared to death and hopped onto a h...
The sound of guns and screams was an unwelcoming and disturbing experience. It began in Afghanistan, an uncontrollable and unorganised society where there tears of sadness and rage was a common occurrence. The nation was beginning to collapse and my mind raced for ideas. I knew that I would have to give up the life that I was supposed to live here in Afghanistan. I had to escape, but how? It did not matter, as what concerned me was how far I was going to travel and how my life would continue on. What would be the outcome? Would life be any different or better? I have a wife and a daughter who cry for a future and as a father, I had to do what's best for my family. My life was on the line.
