Non-Fiction Reflection
Memory is a strange thing. There are bits that stick out at you at different times. Some memories are physically ingrained and lend themselves to painful recollection; a nervous twitch, a shoulder hunch, an empty belly-ache... Write me one of your vivid memories; one of the millions of horrible or happy moments which played some small role in comprising the individual you have become.
Memory
When I was about 10, I went on a cruise with my family. So we left from Nebraska and drove to New Orleans, but that part isn't important. We had been aboared the ship for several days. One night, when it was fairly late we had all gotten on one of the glass elevators to go up to the top deck. Every one had gottonn of except me and my dad. As I was about to get out the doors started closing. I stuck my arm ot thinking they would stop and open back up.
Well, ever hear the phrase paralized in fear. That phrase pretty much perfectly explains the feeling of standing there and the doors were getting closer and closer and closer. Until, one was not even a full inch away from my arm and my dad yanked me back into the elevator.
