The Chase

Today was a normal day expect for one thing. As I was making my way out the door my dog followed. I threw his ball without looking because I didn't think that anyone was around, no one ever is. I was on my way to get my brand new, bright red wagon. Suddenly I heard a deafening yell. I was so scared that I jumped into the garbage can for protection. As I was peaking out of the garbage I saw the biggest person I ever saw. As a boy my scream wasn't that high pitched but as I saw him look at me with those big saucers for eyes, I screamed the most high pitched scream I could.

I was such a girl as I ran for the ti pi that was in my yard and hide in the corner. As I hear his monstrous footsteps coming toward me I ran to the shed. He saw, I need to run. I was running as fast as my 10 year old legs could go. I seen in movies that when your being chased you need to move around not stay in a straight line. I was wondering as I jumped a car and flailing my arms about if I looked like a moron but, I then thought that some people would do the same thing if they put in the same situation.

I jumped over Mr. Black's back, I realize that the man that was chasing me was trying to reach out and grab me. I then thought of an easy way to lose him. Mrs. White was washing her car so went around her car and she distracted him for a while. I saw a set of trees, I thought that maybe I could lose him there. As I wove in and out of the trees, he was getting closer and closer.


I jumped the fence into Mr. and Mrs. Peters backyard. I thought that they might be home so ran for the front door. I was knocking so hard that my hand started to hurt really bad. I then decided that no one was home. I saw him coming so I ran for the fence and jumped it again. I saw my chance to slow him down, I was going towards a pole and I stopped went around it and kicked him in the shins and ran faster than before. I jumped over the wheelbarrow and the bird bath and ducked in the moving van that was there. I seen Mrs. Black relaxing on her lawn chair, I jumped over her and climbed the ladder that was up against my shed.


He was coming and coming fast. I ran along the fence to the tree. I climbed up high enough that he couldn't reach me. He looked at me with the big eyes and said "Just you wait, you can't stay up there forever." As he was walking away I thought I saw him laughing. When I knew he was a safe distance away I got down from the tree and made a run for it.

I ran and jumped into Billy's play pin. I round the corner and jumped over the next door neighbor's gardener that was mowing the lawn. I seen you guys so I jumped the fence and climbed the dog house and duck and rolled over to you guys. Thats what happened.
