Here are some leads that I am thinking about using for my memoir. I have come up with a broad image for what the final version will look like. Please leave a comment for which one you think is a winner.
Anomonapia:
Errk! The two hour bus ride, had finally come to a rest as we reached our destination. However, this was not the end. We were about to face not only a quarter mile long, 100 foot drop old train bridge on foot, but we were going to lead our lives on an adventure.
Posing Question:
Have you ever come to think of a moment in time where you felt that you were watching yourself do something and no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't turn back? To me, these are moments that are very familiar because I believe, that life is an adventure and you are always doing something
Spoken Words:
"Here we are, the boarder. You will be guided across the bridge and will then, be picked up on the other side by another bus." Guided, I thought, what is it about that word that just seems awkward in that sentence? I mean if it was the old nun that seemed to have third degree sunburns on her face that that bus driver was talking about then I sure hope that he was mistaken. For this was not an ordinary bridge, what I was standing on looked like two by fours on top of steel bars, trying to create some what of a path.
Setting The Mood:
At foot, one could only see the past of a great adventure. What I saw, was a future of great meaning.
Arresting Sentence:
One always comes to think of an interesting activity in which they are somewhat involved in. Four summers ago, a simple bridge crossing, changed the way I take things for granite.
