invisible man



I am an invisible man. I have not been seen for years and years. It all happened on that frightful Saturday long, long ago. When I was 15 I was walking around town looking for a job I must have gone to 10 different businesses in search for a job. But no one was hiring at the time so I walked home sulking. But when I got home my mother asked what was wrong so I told her. After I got done she told me this was how job hunting worked and said it’s not me it’s just how the world goes round. So the very next day I went out yet again in search of a job. As I walk around I cut in and out of alleyways all day and never made anything of it. But on this day I saw a man running out the back door of some apartments and thought nothing of it but 10 seconds later another man runs out with a gun and shoots him. I just stood there with fear and that’s when the other man turned to go back inside and saw me just standing there. So I did the only thing that came naturally to me I turned and ran as fast as I possibly could. The man started to shoot but it was too late I was already around the corner, and as I ran I was looking for a place to hide or a police officer. But there were no good places I could find and of course there is never a police officer when you need one so I kept on running. As I look back I didn’t see the man but then I saw him come barreling around a corner straight for me. I took another turn and saw an empty dumpster and got in and closed the lid fast. When I was in there I was just wishing I was invisible and a weird thing happened I turned invisible out of nowhere, that’s when the lid opened and a knife came down, missing me by inches, and I took off running. Never to be seen again.

  1. I like how you tied the two lines together with an action packed story--I could see this as the opening scene to a movie.
