It's extremely dark inside although it's very bright outside, I'm playing a video game called combat warrior 5. Flashes of light come from the TV. I look over at the houseplant it looks dried out and leaves are falling off. "Bang bang!!!"

"I got one," I said excitedly

"I'm home sweety and I've got something for you!" Mum yelled.

Then she came over and sat a box on the table in front of me while I was still playing my video game. How rude!!!

I was forced to look around it

"Muuum" I moaned.

"Why is it so dark in here Mathew?" Mum questioned.

She opened the blinds so I had to blink a couple times before my eyes adjusted.

I thought in my head, "I like it when it's dark. It makes me feel safe and secure; alone where no one can judge me."

"Hey, Mathew, why don't you stop playing that game and open the present I got you?" Mum excitedly urged.
