This is a story I wrote....

This was an assignment for English III. I just wanted to know what you guys thought of it:)



This is the story of Nick Petrelli. A cynical derelict who commits larceny to get by. Little did he know all of his actions would lead to his morbid end.

Nick's life started out rough. As an infant he was left on the doorsteps of an orphanage with vitiligo. At age four he was adopted by a set of very cruel people. They made him clean, cook, and basically work until he was a deaths door. He was also beaten for not doing things correctly. So at a young age he had to learn to fend for himself and steal what he could to get by. Soon after he turned seven, social services came to get him from and from that time until he was thirteen he was itinerant. This, in turn, made him labile.

A couple of months before his fourteenth birthday he was adopted by a couple by the name of Henry and Michelle Turner. They seemed like a very nice and jind couple, but Nick learned over the years that he could trust no one. They weren't the enough to send Nick to school and he had to learn how to work the farm with Henry. As the Months passed Nick learned to trust his new guardian. He learned that not all people were out to get him and some were actually there to help.

Three years passed and it seemed like Nick's life was actually taking a turn for the better. That was until the accident. Two days before his 16th birthday Nick and his Guardians were driving down a dark road home at night. As the light of another car approached everything seemed normal until it swerved in front of them. Sadly, Nick was the only one who survived.

After mourning his parents death he refused to go back to the orphanage so he ran. Loitering here and there and stealing to keep alive. He gradually became a criminal. Everyday his vagrancy as well as his cynicism becoming worse and worse.

After wandering around for a couple of years he decided enough was enough and he decide to steal something bigger. He thought to himself the perfect start would be a car. As he hid in the dark hills of Silent Hill he took out the gun he stole from a pawn shop a couple of months ago. As he saw the truck coming his adrenaline started to pump into his body. As the car stopped he held the gun in his pocket. The window opened to reveal a women. She asked, "Need a lift?"

Brandishing his gun he said, " Get out of the car!" The women complied with his demands and Nick sped away.

Still full of adrenaline Nick kept speeding not knowing he was doing so. Out of the darkness of the night all of a sudden he heard a siren. Then bright Red and Blue flashing lights behind him. His heart started to beat as he hit the gas pedal. All he could think about was not going back to his orphanage.

As he hit the 140 mph mark he saw the police growing smaller. He wandered if he outsped the police, but before he could see the bridge out sign it was too late. His life started flashing before his eyes. All the crimes he had committed, all the people he had lived with, and the three happiest years of his life. Then, just like if nothing, there was darkness....
