My English assignment

the story I handed in

It was Sunday morning. Me and my parents just walked out of the church. All the news reporters immediately ran to them. It was sometimes annoying but my father said I need to get used to it since he was going to be the mayor soon. He didn't officially win but he's very confident about his win. I looked behind the church. There was a small forest with kids playing near it. They were from an orphanage my family owned. I didn't know them well since my mom didn't want me to play with them in the orphanage. She was scared I would get in trouble.
"Can I go play with the other kids?" I asked her. "Sure just be nice and don't get in trouble," She said but I barely even heard her because right after she said sure I ran to play with them.
It was fun playing with them! I don't get why mom didn't let me play with them.

After some time I noticed that in the forest was a creek and a kid sitting near it. "Hey, who's that?" I asked the other kids. "Ed never wants to play with us!" one of the boys said. I didn't want anyone to feel left out so I went into the forest and crawled down to the creek. "Hi!" I said sitting next to Ed. "You're Ed, right? I'm Bruce! I was playing with other kids but noticed you're here all alone." He didn't respond. " Well, what are you doing here?" I asked. "Catching animals," he said. "I love animals!" I said with excitement. "I can show you my pets" he slightly smiled. "Sure!" I said and he pulled out an old tin box from the bushes next to us. "You're silly! No animal can survive in a box like that" I laughed nervously not knowing what to expect. He just looked at me and opened the box. There were old rotting corpses of different animals. I didn't know what to do so I ran away.

The next Sunday I went there again. He scared me but I still wanted to apologize. Running away was rude. He wasn't there. He was never there again.

Sometimes I wish I never saw him again. I should've told someone about the tin box. Maybe if I did I wouldn't be here. Sitting in the police station in front of the interrogation room.
