Atv's Vacation: A Short Story
As the wind blew past me, and the crunching of twigs and leaves echoed through the forest, Emma laughs and talks boisterously with her friend. I, her bracelet, clung snugly to her wrist. The ATV’s motor roared loudly as we sped down the dirt path. Glowing brilliantly, the ATV’s red paint reflected the sunlight. We didn't slow as we quickly approached a crossing. Speeding and Roaring, a van flew down the road. Oblivious, we continued down the path to the road.

Then we flew, Emma, her friend, and I. When Emma hit the pavement, she slid. I flew off of her wrist and landed just a few feet away. To obtain help, the man frantically called the police. Soon, an ambulance’s siren echoed down the road, signaling its arrival. The red and blue lights

    The story began with a black man called Robert Smith jumping down the roof of a hospital. However, the author used a wonderful word “flying” instead of “jump”. Robert Smith also saw death as flying since “Two days before the event was to take place he tacked a note on the door of his little yellow house: At 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday the 18th of February, 1931, I will take off from Mercy and fly away on my own wings. Please forgive me. I love you…

Themotor whirred between his legs, and a cool wind whipped his pantslegs.…

    It was about 1950. Larry Meyers and I had just watched Joey Chitwood’s Thrill Show. Chitwood drove a car on two wheels with the right side in the air. We had never seen that kind of driving before. Didn’t know a car could do all that. He jumped a few cars, and rolled a few cars, too. This was at the Jantzen Beach track a ¼ mile asphalt track. We came away excited and confident that we could drive like that. We went out and bought a 1920 Chrysler sedan. It had flower vases hanging inside of the back doors. It was tired and worn out, a sad old car. We bought it for $15 from some guy in our neighborhood. We never even bothered to ask if it could run. It needed work but could get up to 40 mph. That was good enough for us. We immediately…

    As soon as she pulled onto the highway, the lightning flashed across the sky and she knew it would start raining soon. Ruth was unfamiliar with the curvy roads, and slowed down when the rain started forming a lake on the road in front of her, making it difficult for her to see the lines on the highway. Dark clouds hung slightly above the road and the sounds of rain beating against the car bothered her. “Perhaps I shouldn’t have chosen this day to ghost hunting,” she said as the inside windows fogged over, turning on the defroster she calmed down and sang along with the radio.…

    Sally just shrugged as they were trudging through the muddy, rainy, and crowded streets with wet coats. Everything was obscure, the gutters were filled with dirty water. Their drenched feet and boots whined as they stepped on the cemented sidewalk.Their bodies had gave up on providing heat and presented to the atmosphere’s harsh temperatures. The small droplets upon their face chilled their skin and faintly glowed due to the foggy streetlights. The wind howled and echoed into their ears while the rain pattered down upon the ground .The water flowed down along the sidewalk flooding the drain system. The cars zoomed by so fast that the puddles splashed like a tsunami. With only the streetlights providing illumination along the street, the road…

    My mother sat in the passenger seat scrutinizing the car continuously as the salesman sat back comfortably in the back-seat rattling of facts on the like a regular machine, trying to add more value with each sentence. I blocked them both out, in that moment there was only me and the car, it moved calmly out of the lot, no rattling sounds or an overabundance of engine clutter. There are many moments that are special in life, I’ve heard people talk about, their first kid, going to the prom and even getting married; this was my moment, when I was behind that wheel it was as if the whole world just faded away. I no longer paid attention to the verb back and forth between my mother and salesman, no all that mattered now was the ride. I was one with the car, every purr, every puff of the wind that flowed past its smooth exterior and it was in this moment that I knew I had found my first…

    At one-thirty in the afternoon, Carolee Mitchell was running the vacuum cleaner, or she would have heard the first sirens and looked out. After the first, there weren’t any others. The calling voices, even the number of dogs barking, could have been students on their way back to school, high-spirited in the bright, cold earliness of the year. Thinking back on the sounds, Carolee remembered a number of car doors being slammed, that swallow of air and report which made her smooth her hair automatically even if she wasn’t expecting anyone. But what caught her eye finally was what…
