Narrative Essay on An Unforgettable Experience

During the December festive season almost every shopping and business complex is

a hive of activity. The last few days before Christmas are exceptionally busy

days. Many last minute shoppers scurry along from shop to shop in a last bid to

complete their shopping. unfortunately mum and I were also completing our

shopping at Margate on the last Saturday before christmas.

Hundreds of people were in the complex. Parking was at a premium. Fortunately we

went early and got a parking. We went about to complete our shopping. Shortly

after midday we had just entered a jewellery shop when all of a sudden there was

a tremendous explosion. My first thoughts were that it was an earthquake. My

hair was standing on ends.

I turned around and to my horror there were several people lying down with blood

around them. Slives of glass were strewn everywhere. Babies were howling. People

were running in all directions. The place was in a devastating condition. The

police were on the scene within minutes. There cordoned off the area. The

paramedics arrived soon after and attended to the injured. We were lucky that

we were not injured.

After some two hours the police managed to bring the scene under control. Those

severely injured were transported to hospital. The explosion occurred as a

result of a bomb being placed in one of the stores. The police questioned us and

from that we were allowed to go home. This was an unforgettable experience

although we were not involved in injury.
