Nature Prose Piece

. One wrong step.... Bushes become quiet as the squirells pause their argument. The birds hide away as the huge eye in the atmosphere turns his focus toward me. Wind seeses to exist as if it waits for the balance of nature to be restored. Even the insects forget about their songs, escaping to the bushes untill all is normal again.

Follow That Cab!

This piece of creative nonfiction was interesting because of its modern themes. Not many creative nonfiction pieces that I have read do not use modern things such as iPads or computers. When reading this I never got the idea it was a personal essay or personal interest story, however I suppose I could see where someone might think that. This piece had to much creativity just to be considered a re-cap of previous events.
