Blog

I don't know what to blog about. My mind is empty of ideas. I don't want to blog, but my mother makes me. She always makes me do some educational  thing during summer vacation. I'm already co-writing a book with my friend Natalie. Natalie's awesome. She's so sweet and is such a good friend. Although she's not my best friend. I don't really have one of those. I never have. I have one friend called Annie that I'm pretty close too, but her best friend is someone else, and we can't be best friends if I'm not her best friend. Annie's from North Carolina. I've only been there a couple of times, and even then, we're only driving through it for some big road trip. Every time we go on a trip where we have to drive a long way, it's always my job to clean out the car. I get good money for it, which I use to buy minutes for my cell phone. I got it about a month ago. My brother Aaron got his for Christmas. His is like mine, a cheep flip phone.I got a guitar for Christmas, which is way better than a cell phone to me. My dad's teaching me how to play. He's amazing at guitar. I consider myself average for my age. I love to play music. I love to listen to it too. Lately, all I listen to is Phantom of the Opera. Phantom is awesome. It's violent, romantic and has amazing singing all in one movie. I watched it for the first time with my mom on our girls night. We have girls night every Sunday night when Aaron and my dad go to youth group. I used to want to go to youth group so badly, but then my parents made the whole family go. I didn't fit in. I wasn't even supposed to be there. So now I stay home with my mom. We watch T.V. and eat dinner but that's all. I have a pretty boring life.

Tunnel

I ran throughout the castle with all my strength. I had never run as fast as I did then. I was terrified. Anyone would be if they were being chased by a griffin. Frantically, I looked for an escape route, because I was nearing a dead end. Soon, I reached the wall at the end of the corridor I was running along. I turned around to face the horrible creature. Then, something caught my eye through my peripheral vision. It was a tunnel, mostly hidden by a tapestry. I turned and ran down it. It was an empty tunnel with rounded walls and no features. I ran, and ran, and ran. The griffin was inches behind me. I could see sunlight up ahead. Griffins can't go in sunlight, so it started to get desperate. It reached out for me, but I dove into the daylight. I was free.
