Night walk

We crept slowly around the boatyard, observing silently as we took light steps. The air was crisp, but a warm breeze was sweeping over the sleeping earth. We were engulfed by the cricket's soft chirping in the grass as we plunged deeper into our mission. We slunk around a corner, where a broken light was trying its best to keep out the darkness. A gecko watched us as we passed. A katydid flew noiselessly in the darkness, and the ants at our feet marched on. The night sounds grew nearer with each careful step. We stopped. At our feet was a board. We had stopped at many boards like this before, but this one was special. We took the opportunity. Our spirits high, we lifted up the old board. A mixture of fear and excitement singed me. Everything was waiting. The sounds. The air. Us. All of it stopped.

Underneath the board, was a scorpion...

Mission Completed!

This is just a little story I wrote a while ago. My mom insisted I put it up. It was when we were still in the boat yard and we went on a night hike around the dream lot, a place where all of the boats go to die. We found a lot of cool things, including a scorpion! There are pics of all of the animals we found below, Hope all is well,

Rile- poo :)
