"Where am I?" I questioned myself. As I looked around, I felt like I was being followed. I had never seen such a strange looking house before. I slowly crept towards the house hoping I wouldn't make a sound. Words rushed through my mind asking me if I should step back or take a risk. So I made a wise decision. Suddenly out of nowhere, the door slammed shut! My whole body started trembling. Every step I took, made me more curious. I had no other choice, so I sprinted inside the mysterious building as it felt more safe than being alone outside trapped in the darkness. The lights kept switching on and off.

This is a short recount that Halatoa and I wrote. Our task was to take turns in writing a sentence each about the picture above.

I was amazingly surprised when my family and I had made a decision to go on a trip to Hamilton. My whole family was shivering with excitement.  We all packed as quickly as we could. I felt like we were traveling the world! “Woohoo, Hooray, Yay!” Everyone was screaming with astonishing words you don’t hear on normal boring days. It was at least 4 hours to get to Hamilton. We visited amazing and surprising beaches with beautiful views. At the end we were tired with exhaustion. The day felt like a week. At the end of the day, we headed back home with sadness. That day was one of the best days of my life.
