Stumble
Stumbling down the subway steps like a mad man, reports on “How the Economy is Crashing” for my business class. I’m just a college student hurrying to class which is important for my future life. Before I even make it down the steps, all that stress goes away in an instant. I could smell, taste, and feel the overwhelming presence of her beauty. It struck me like an unexpecting wave pummeling my heart. She dazzled me, sent me flying across the platform in front of a moving train. Should I talk to her? Or, should I just get to class?

I really liked this because you didnt find out who the main character was until half way through. This was such a cool piece and it deffinitly left me wanting to read more.

The author did a great job creating an image of the scene. The author uses great details to express how the person was feeling.

It's interesting on how this is so different from the other stories, it was a good idea and a very interesting one.

i like how its like a cliff hanger. i wanted to know what he chose to do at the end, too. i liked the good descriptions they used.

I really liked it. It was cool, because the character was so focused on one thing and one look at some stranger caused him to lose focus and give him a choice. It was awesome.
