beginning post-

ok so this is the start of my creative non fiction and it really sucks. I was bored writing it and its really bad but i needed credit for this beginning post. I will probably do something completely different later. don't judge me.



Creative non-fiction. For my creative non fiction peace I'm going to write about the time i was got lost in the circus. One day when i came home from school my parents told me that we were going up to  the delta center to watch the circus. I was incredibly fascinated by the idea. I had always heard about what happens at a circus but had never actually been to one. I pictured in my head what it looked like and i I'm imagined lots of animals doing tricks and jumping through hoops. I always pictured acrobats doing incredible things like riding a uni cycle across a tight rope. What i found out later was pretty similar but i also saw some pretty different things than what i had imagined in my head. After my family got in our brand new mini-van we made are way to the delta center. On the way my two older brothers Matt and Aaron debated on whether we would see someone be shot out of a canon while my younger sister Mallory kept quiet and put in her headphones to listen to music. when we arrived we all ran to the delta center and that's when the smell hit me. It came like a vast deadly wave and was almost thick enough to were i swear i could taste it. It smelt like a mixture of manure, b.o, and burnt hair. It was absolutely disgusting. I was instantly turned of to the idea of going to the circus and wanted to get back in the car leave. I probably would have too if i hadn't seen a man running around on fire. when i look back on this experience i think it was planned and they were practicing for some sort of trick but I'm still not sure. I ran over to see if i could find the burning man but he ran out of sight and i couldn't see him. Basically that is how i got lost. Because when i turned around my family was gone. After searching for about five minutes with no luck at finding them i decided just to go sit in a chair and watch the practice performances. I walked down to the bottom row of chairs and sat down to watch. What i saw was pretty spectacular.
