Scariest Dream

 The scariest dream I've had took place in the building from the Saw movies. I was with some friends, but I don't remember who they were. We all knew that we were going to get tortured, so we went around looking for weapons so we could die quickly. I found a gun and asked my friend to shoot me, and she shot me right in the heart. It was pretty crazy because I actually remember feeling it. Everything slowed down and went numb, but there wasn't much pain in the area. I thought I was dead. It was weird, because I stood up and walked around the building. Everybody was looking at me, and I thought I was a ghost. I asked them if I was a ghost and they told me I was so I wouldn't be afraid anymore, but I was really still alive. Eventually, some random guy came in and we went into a tent. We became best friends and a doctor came in (i don't know how, seeing as we were in the Saw building..) & she tried to fix where I got shot, but couldn't. Finally, she let me out of the building & brought me to the hospital. It was pretty crazy.

Introduction

I woke up in a strange place, not knowing how I got there. My eyes adjusted to my surroundings; trees so tall they could touch the clouds, sunlight glowing through every open space between their leaves, creating rays of light like spotlights. Underneath my feet was soft, red dirt. I could almost taste the musty smell. I was completely alone in a place I'd never seen or heard of - afraid of what could possibly happen next, or why.

Introduction Table

Sight: Rays of sunlight like spotlights, trees so tall they could touch the clouds, leaves blocking sunlight, soft red dirt

Sound: Leaves rustling in the wind, frogs croaking, stream flowing

Smell: Musty, pine

Taste: Musty air

Touch: Smooth tree trunks, soft dirt

Feeling: Confused, alone, afraid

Something Important To Me

The item that represents something important to me is my hedgehog, Dwight. I got him a few months back from Petland, and I just love him so much. He's so adorable. He's always doing something entertaining, whether it's sleeping in a prickly ball, running around my room or sitting in my lap. He's quite cuddly and loveable, although he wasn't when I first got him. He was extremely afraid to leave his bed and would cower and hide if I went near him. Now, he lets me give him baths (which he loves) and lets me hold him with pretty much no problem. I know it sounds weird, but sometimes he's really the only friend I have. I mean, he doesn't judge me! I know it's different and you probably think it's stupid, but my hedgehog is the most important thing to me. 

My favourite memory

The item that represents my favourite memory is a photo. This memory is meeting Austin Carlile, the lead singer of the metalcore band, Of Mice & Men. I went to their concert on September 20th, 2011 with a few friends. Austin Carlile is an amazing, talented and very nice man. I wanted to meet him with all my heart. My friend Dylan and I were standing by the meet & greet table earlier than anybody else so we were first to meet him. As soon as he came to the table, my heart started racing. I went to get a photo with him, and he said "You're so tiny, can I pick you up?" so he did. I couldn't stop smiling afterward, he was so sweet &  I could not believe I had met him. My life is complete.
