My Favorite Mistake


I opened my eyes the day I made not my first major mistake, but my most inspirational.
One day sitting in a controlled facility, surrounded by complete morons, I decided that I wasn't part of the facility norms. I decided to go super AWOL, so I left.

Now don't get me wrong I'm a liable individual who made a mistake. This mistake just happened to be a real bad one. So one day on work crew, I'm out in a place somewhere in Down Town Salt-lake getting ready for the right moment to bean dip out of their.

"now is the perfect chance" I think to myself, not even bothering to think about consequences that hold for me. The staff is busy playing games on his cell phone, I know that their are two exits of the building; one is in the back, and the other is in the front of the place.

I know that this is the easy part of my secret plan. The adrenaline is spurring in the back of my legs, waiting to make me be able to run like hell or put up a good fight. Now or never! My natural instincts tell me, I look around to make sure it's clear, and it is.

I'll slip away unnoticed, into the shadows of the abyss to never be seen by multiple unintelligible beings. I walk to the back, because I know right now if I run it will be to loud.
Opening the door that happened to creak loudly, I through my body out in the horribly heated sun.

I'm running as fast as I can, dodging objects I'm running by, and thinking of one hundred million things at once, at this point I'm heading east. I find myself in an Alleyway, on one side is a building; the other side is a fence with a cherry tree. the Cherri's look so fat and juicy that they look like their going to pop at any second.

here I am stuffing my pockets, enjoying the sweet pleasuring taste of busting atomic cherries when a pit bull scares the living bajeezis out of me. It's barks are deep and full of hate, almost as if saying drop my masters cherries and leave; or die.

I then get to the tracks and ride them to Ogden to pan handle money for the bus, to get to nine hundred north Brigham city. I continued to walk from their to get to Logan Utah. When I eventually get their I spend  three months of my life thinking about what to do.

eventually, I realize if I'm able to do the things I've done; I can do anything that anyone asks of me, and I could either make an excuse or just do what needs to be done. I'd like to thank the class of 2014 for listening to my shortened version of my greatest mistake.



At the end of the story I turned myself in to d.t.

Hey Alex that pretty cool how you were able to do that. I tried to do that and it didn't work out all that well. And by the way what made you stop.

Alex,
Your story is funny and inspiring. I love the part about the cherries! It sounds like something I would do. I think you were able to find your inner strength! I admire then a fact that you turned your self in, in the end. :)

Alex, your story is well written and I liked your vocabulary. My question is a simple one. Was this the reason you weren't in Summit at the end of last year? I can really relate to this because you were probably under a lot of stress when you decided to run. I hope that you learned from your mistake and decide not to make the wrong choices again. Keep writing...

Awesome man. I turned myself in after being on the run for for 7 months. It was hard but it was the more beneficial thing for me to do long term. But I guess you already know this:) Hope everything goes well for you so good luck man.

I think that it's awesome that you turned yourself in that takes a lot of courage. I don't think I could do it.

Like Justin said what made you stop. You went that far why not go father. And how long were you in lock up and was it the right thing to do
