The Secret Life of Troy

Chapter Two: Lights, Camera, Action!

          I woke up to a owl hooting his eerie calls. I thought it was time to take action. I woke myself up and started my journey. Since I could not write I didn't write a good bye letter to Big Mama. It was time I left, nobody loved me anyways. I wandered in the dark foggy night, barely finding my way with the moonlight. It was hard to breathe because of the humidity. I went through puddles and mud. If Big Mama was here she would have yelled at me and wiped my feet. I smiled to myself. Did I miss them? No, why would I? I kept reasurring myself that I hated them and I would never come back. Although I did that, it felt like my mind was separated from my thoughts. I felt like two people. But I listened to the reasurring side that told me that they would miss me and I wouldn't care. I wandered on untill I found a old shack that was filled with spiders and grime. I borrowed it for the night and slept.

          I had a dream that I was in a real house with a loving owner and had wonderful playmates. The house smelled like roast chicken and was warm and cozy. I had my own doghouse outside in the yard. The yard was filled with butterflies and flowers. They would serve me crispy roast beef everyday. It would be cooked to perfection! I sat there in my bed looking at my delicious meal. I made a big mistake for trying to lick it.

           Suddenly, I sat up from my dream and found a spider in my mouth. I spat it out with a bitter taste on my tongue. Only if I didnt try to eat the beef! I walked out of my shack desperatly looking for water. I found a puddle and lapped it up. Then I continued my journey. I lumbered along the side walk until it ended. I saw a wide field of dead grass leading to a forest. I excitedly ran through the field and into the forest. I was finally going far away from home! I hunted down a rabbit for breakfast. " Yum, I never tasted anything like this in my life!" I ate the delicasy with such pleasure. 

             I sniffed around the forest looking for some fun. I found a swamp. I ran through the bushes and leaped into the muddy swamp. "Wow, there is alot of fish in here!" There was there schools of parrot fish. They looked like a underwater rainbow from above. I couldn't help it but go underwater. I did not know that you had to hold your breath. I went underwater and breathed normally. As quick as a wink i jumped up and gasped for air. It took me a while to fully know what happened. Then I tried again but I held my breath. I followed the fish and watched their tails move. Their tails were shiny and see-through; like plastic. Then I saw two beady eyes. I swam closer. I saw a couple glistening teeth, then it attacked me.
