Describe a Stormy Night

Pitch black in the dark, all alone I felt afraid. Unusual sounds coming from downstairs with all the power out and no lights. Thunder was as loud as a setup bomb, lightning looked like the sky was about to disappear and the wind sounded like a howling wolf.

I run to my blanket in pitch black and cover myself head to feet. I have a little peek and see a light, I get a sudden feeling that it is someone trying to see if I am alright but… It wasn’t somebody it was something! Lightning starts and thunder starts rumbling like my empty tummy. It grows brighter and brighter and louder and louder as I hide under the blankets like I am a dead squashed bug.

Meanwhile I did fall asleep, imagining what it would be like without loud rumbling thunder and bright lightning. I wake up as the thunder is still continuing. I think to myself, “That is the one and only time I am falling asleep tonight.”

It was just past midnight and I was still wide awake with nothing to do.

The Day I went to the Aquarium

I went to the aquarium in the holidays... you probably think this is going to be DEAD BORING, but trust me, it won’t be. You see, I was going to the aquarium and I only just remembered when it was 6 o’clock in the morning! I was out of bed like a rocket flying into my wall! It’s time to go to the aquarium.

We drove away in a loud Mitsubishi Galant! It was as loud as a ROARING tiger! I almost fell asleep in the car because I was on a 6 hour drive. I was super excited about seeing all the fish and sharks! There might even be a stingray! I was as excited as someone having a birthday party!

Finally, we were at the aquarium. I was too excited to even SPEAK back

then. It was so INCREDIBLY EPIC IN THE SHARK WALKTHROUGH- THERE WAS EVEN A STINGRAY FLOATING ACROSS THE TOP OF THE TANK!!! I was like,”Wow, this gonna be sooooo cool!” I could smell a weird smell coming from the squid tank. It smelt like squid ink. I really wasn’t surprised since it was coming from the squid tank. It smelt a little bit like paint. It was so terrible. It smelt as bad as a toilet that had only just been flushed.

We looked in the squid tank and the water throughout the whole tank was completely black. We stared in amazement as the person who worked at the aquarium cleaned out the squid tank. THE SQUID KILLED 2 FISH!!! It made the WHOLE tank black again. I was thinking, “Oh my goodness, is the squid sick or something!?” It was super exciting!

We drove home in our Mitsubishi Galant! The trip was outstanding! You should go to the aquarium and look at all the SPEEDING fish. The fish were swimming around 70 km per hour! Maybe the stingray will be there again if you go…

On the other hand…

HOPE YOU HAVE FUN IF YOU DO GO!!
