Bruises

¢нαρтєя тєи

Uncle Jerry was sitting by the fire. He stayed up way longer than the kids, well, mostly because they went to sleep at like 10 o'clock. That's really early for Uncle Jerry.
He walked over to get a marshmallow, he put it over the fire. He likes his marshmallow's golden brown, so he made sure that his marshmallow was perfect.
Finally, it was golden brown. He went to the table to get graham crackers and chocolate. He carefully got his marshmallow off with his graham crackers, then he ate his s'more. When he got done eating, he just sat at the fire, thinking about life.
As he was sitting, he suddenly heard a scream coming from the woods. He got up from his seat, and he went to check out where the noise came.
He was so confused because nobody usually goes in these woods. He usually always goes camping in these woods, but he's never heard anything like this.
He ran to the woods, the dark, monster filled woods.
When he got to the woods, he kept on looking and looking for something. Nothing.
He heard screams over by the tent now. He ran back, but there was nothing there. This scared him!
He tried to keep an eye on things, so he sat by the fire until he was tired.
An hour later, he heard the screams again. By then he forgot about them, so he got up. He remembered what it was, so he sat back down by the fire.
He instantly yawned like there was no tomorrow. He put the fire out by peeing in it; he knew nobody else was around. Uncle Jerry went inside the tent, and just laid there. Just then, another screamed filled the darkness outside. It wasn't very loud this time; it sounded like it was far away from the tent. This scared Jerry, so he tried to go to sleep to forget about it. So, he closed his eyes. In a few minutes, he was fast asleep.
It was only 11:30 when he went to sleep.

I woke up my eyes. The first thing I did was check my phone. It said 8:25. I usually don't wake up this early! I went outside to get more wood for the fire. I went very far from the tent, when I suddenly heard a voice. It was scary, it sounded like people talking on a branch, but when I looked up, there was nobody there. Those voices made me scared!
I grabbed a couple pieces of wood on the ground, and sped walked my way back to the tent. Uncle Jerry was standing outside.
"I see you're getting some firewood, I was just about to go get some more, thanks Bryce," he told me.
I handed the wood to Uncle Jerry, and he set them on top of the ash that used to be last night's fire. Then, he grabbed nearby sticks and started rubbing them together to make a new fire.
I looked over and saw Kasey walking out of the tent with Andrew.
"Morning guys, and good morning Kasey," I said kissing her.
It was a quick kiss; I didn't want to start making out in front of my little brother and uncle. That would be weird.
We sat on the wood that we use to sit on by the fire. My uncle finally got the fire started again. He sat down by the fire.
"I have an idea! You guys want to go swimming, today's the perfect day. It's sunny, 75°," Uncle Jerry said.
"Let's go!" Said Andrew.
"Yeah, that sounds like fun!" Kasey said, looking at me first then Uncle Jerry.
I looked at Kasey, then at my uncle.
"Sounds fun, I haven't had this much fun in a long time!"
Uncle Jerry walked in the tent.
"Let me just change really fast, when I'm done, Andrew change after me. And either Kasey or Bryce go after him."
I could tell Uncle Jerry tried to change really quickly, so he wouldn't take too long. He came out of the tent a couple minutes after he went in. He changed into his camouflage swimming trunks. They were sweet!
Andrew went in the tent. It took him a little longer to change. He is only seven though, so I understand if it takes him longer.
"You can go in before me, ladies first, or should I say gorgeous ladies first," I said, laughing afterwards.
She laughed, too, then she started blushing.
"Okay."
She walked into the tent. After she was done, she came out wearing a pink bikini.
"You are really gorgeous," I told her.
"What are you talking about, I'm so fat!"
I had this confused look on my face.
"No, what are you talking about, you are the most gorgeous girl I've ever seen! You are definitely not fat."
She started smiling. Then I walked into the tent. I changed into blue swimming trunks with a black skull on the side of it. I walked out of the tent. It didn't take me too long to change.
When I got done changing, we all walked to the lake. It wasn't too far. Just about a mile straight. When I saw the lake, I was running. As I was running, I took my shirt off, threw it, and jumped into the water. This water felt perfect on my skin! It wasn't too cold or too hot.
"Come jump in!" I yelled to everyone.
They all jumped in screaming. We all had a great time! Then, I noticed that Andrew was gone.
"Where's Andrew?" I asked.
