Boom! What just happened I thought as I heard something sounding like an explosion. I got up and went to my window. My car was on fire! It seemed like it was what had exploded. God no it was new I just bought couple of days ago. I put a robe on and headed outside.
As I was going down my stairs a really sketchy dude was waiting by the door. When I came close to him I noticed that he had a gun shoulder strap like cops do. Something was not right I thought. A man with a gun and a burning car. As I passed him he tried to go for his gun, but some sort of instinct of mine beat him to it and I was able punch him in the face couple of times. Deciding not to hang around when he wakes up I decided to walk away from my house.
It was by far the strangest morning I have ever had I mean I was about to get killed. A woman passed me and said, "Your the guy from the news!"
-"Pardon me what do you mean?"
-"Get away from me you terrorist!"
That's when I new something was not right. What had happened that could possibly make me look like a terrorist. Knowing that I was being hunted I began to run as far way as I could from this town!
I did not know what to do. I was lost and hungry. I was cold and scared. What just happened I kept asking myself. Why were they trying to kill me? It couldn't have been IRS I mean I paid my taxes on time. I never told anyone my political views. I just lived a simple ordinary life. My father got me a job at a great law firm. I drove a Prius to help save the Earth. Now what did I do wrong? The woman called me a terrorist. Why would someone do so?
It has been three days since the incident and a lot of bad news have hit me. I was being accused of spying in the name of a small Saudi Arabian country. I never travelled outside of the USA in my life, well except maybe Canada. But that doesn't matter because I was being accused of working with a different country. They said that I have helped with a terrorist attack. Besides that they said I was really dangerous and armed. Wow! I thought this is not happening to me. This was like the Bourne movies except I had no money, weapons, connections and most important place to stay. The last three days I slept in a homeless shelter. Not the best experience in my life but oh well. I am hoping to keep on running tomorrow. My goal is to get to Canada. Thank God I live in Milwaukee.
I know I cant do anything at the moment. I don't know why this happened but all I know is that I am not going to stay and get killed. So Canada seems like a good choice for me right now.

ReplyDeletethis is coming along, but right now it seems like you have too much going on. Things happen very, very quickly here, so I don't really get a sense of who this guy is (as a person) or why he's being accused. Slow down! Think about focusing on a few moments in his experience rather than trying to sum up so much. In this short form, it's hard to have so much plot. Think about picking a part of this and expanding it so that we can better understand the character and the event.
