Dramatic Monologue
Dramatic Intro
Flashing lights were blinding my vision, and emergency sirens were screaming in my ears, both making it hard to process the situation I was in. I looked around praying to find something familiar that could possibly give me guess as to what was happening, but was interrupted by sharp creaking of a metal door, which robbed my attention. I looked towards the direction the sound was coming from and was shocked to see the face of a man, I tried moving but couldn’t. Confused I asked him “what the he** is going on?”, but he didn't answer my question, instead he yelled to, what i'm assuming was another person, “he’s alive, but the door has him pinned”.

It was just running, I mean how hard could it be, right? I had forgotten my running shoes so I had to run in jeans and Levis. I was assigned to group two which would be running the mile last, so I had a chance to observe the first group as they ran. As I watched them all running slowly I uttered four words that would drastically change my future from there on out, “I could sprint that”. One of my friends, who was on the cross country team, overheard my murmur and bet me that I couldn’t even run the it in 8 minutes. I laughed and boldly took him up on the bet. I ended up finishing the mile in 5 minutes and 50 seconds, winning the bet. That time attracted the attention of the distance track coach who tried persuading me to join the team. I would later join the team and start a very successful career. Running ended up affecting every single part of my life from what I ate to the type of people I surrounded myself with. Even with all the good decisions I made, I would later learn that it only takes one bad decision to mess it all
