One evening I was walking in the woods with my friends at six o’clock.
Suddenly, I heard something from behind me.
I turned around to check but all I could see were the trees, thorns and bushes and nettles.
I turned back around with my hands over my eyes and whispered to myself “I’m only hearing things”.
I took my hands down but my friends weren’t there. I took a deep breath and started running.
I went up hills and down hills and I went around corners.
They were nowhere to be seen.
Then, I saw someone strange. They were heading for me!
I hid behind a tree and held my breath.
“Who was that?”, I whispered. I was very scared, “am I about to be killed?” “
This isn’t a woods, it’s a big trap, and it’s not a joke”. I said
“Where are my friends? Or is it a joke from my friends? Are they trapped?”
I turned around to run back but all I could see was darkness. “Now I can’t escape!” I cried, “where am I?”
Night fell.
I started to panic.
I started running even though it was pitch dark. Then I stopped, panting, and realised I was even more lost.
I started shivering and crying. I sat under a tree. I cuddled my knees and thought, what had happened my friends?
And where are they?
I fell asleep under the tree.
I woke up and found myself in my bed!
It was a dream! I was so relieved to see it was all a nightmare.
