Personal Narrative: My Evolution

What exactly is evolution? Well.. it's me. You're probably wondering what the neck I'm talking about, but yes it's true I am evolution and I'm here to tell you my story. This isn't just any story though, this is a story of plot twists, pain, and happiness.

My story begins when I was born. I started off as a single cell. Next thing I knew I had eyes and a brain and arms. I could see and taste and feel and cry. After a few months I start to walk with my legs and get food alongside my family. A few years later I set off on my own and leave my family to make a family and living on my own. I find a mate we have children who were faster than I was and will ever be and I grow old. One day I knew it was time for me to go. I tell my family I love them and lay my head in my hands.

I look down and see a creature with fins and I realize that I was born again. I don't know why and I don't know how I just know I must survive. I must always survive. I go through my learning years and become an adult. I go off and hunt with my year old son and teach him what I was taught previous. He is much faster than me and has more teeth than I do. I never thought about why, I never needed to. A few decades later I grow old and fade out of the blue, wet world I've grow to know all so well.

This cycle continues for billions of years. I evolve into various things, learn, mate, reproduce, and die. It's a constant cycle that I've never thought of until I became human. A little birdie told me we are the only animals who think with logic and reason. So far I think that little birdie was right. My entire human life was devoted to thinking. I think about the world, and how a chicken came from one of my previous bodies, some kind of flying dinosaur, just a few billion years ago. How even my vegetative form have grown immune to some of my other insect
