Personal Narrative Rough Drafts - Amaya/Biromantic Bison

Two rough drafts from flash drafts that I wrote in 7th grade.

2020 Reading makes me happy. I can go to a world with my favorite characters, and forget my surroundings. I am a visual reader, and I can read my book like I'm watching a movie. I don't notice that I'm reading words, the surface under me, how cold or warm I am, the sound of people, and much more. I can clearly see the scene of my book. The people's faces, their clothes, color, surroundings; I can visualize everything. When I am reading a horror book, or even a scene with a jump scare, I can visualize it. Sometimes, I get jump scared, and I leave my happy place. Reading gives me thrill and even inspiration. The feel of the crisp pages, the smell of the paper, the sight of the many words. They all make me feel happy. I love how I can read almost anywhere and be happy. The only place I can't read is in a car. Sitting in a car is boring, but I can listen to audio books still. My happy place is like Redbox. It holds my visualization of many books. I love how there are so many different books and genres, because I will always be happy when I go to Half Price Books.

One of my favorite things about myself is the power to control my nightmares. Nightmares don't stop me from having a good night's sleep. When I have nightmares, I realize that I am dreaming. Unlike other sleepers, I don't wake up instantly. I go along with the nightmare can will myself to wake up when I get tired of the nightmare. I'm still working on being able to realize that I'm dreaming, but I haven't had much luck. Controlling my nightmares is one of my favorite things about myself because I find this entertaining and fun. Being able to enjoy the thrill of excitement is always entertaining and enjoyable to experience. I sometimes even twist the dream and send myself down a spiraling series of challenges. Controlling one's own dream is a fantastic power, and I hope I can get improve. Through this experience, I have learned not to give up.

[Edit: Sadly, I lost this power when I wrote this.]
