My Walk
(v. 1.1 – Modified Basic)
Alberto Chimal

One morning I left home to talk a walk. I left my apartment and then my building. I
walked along the path until I got to the closest parking lot. I continued through to
the avenue: I walked along in the opposite direction of the cars, toward the fire
station located on the corner of the intersection. There I crossed the street and
crossed to the side with the grocery store. I went in to buy a pack of cookies. Then I
took the pedestrian bridge to cross over the top of the avenue and see a little
more of the city. I got off on the other side and thought about going past the
houses in the neighborhood that started there that I had barely visited. But in the
end I didn’t. There aren’t many things to see where I live, either. I retraced my steps:
across the bridge to the other side of the avenue, passing by the grocery store,
crossing toward the fire station, heading toward the avenue to the entrance to my
apartment building, entering the parking lot, and walking down the path that leads
to my building. When I got back to my apartment I wondered how I could tell
about this short and simple trip in an interesting way.
