The Lousy Neighbors
One time my sister and I where preparing our dogs to go on a walk, like we usually do. We where talking about how our day was and how school was really hard. When we got out of our house we saw a family moving  into a brand new house our neighborhood engineer had just built a couple months ago. They where a couple with two kids , a boy and a girl. They seemed friendly but they looked way older than us. We passed by them, waved and took off with our dogs. When we came back to our house they where still there getting some more stuff from a truck. Later at night I heard really weird screams, it was coming from our new neighbors, you could hear a woman's voice screaming " We're getting a divorce" and than a raspy man's voice screaming. "You are not getting away from me." Later in the day the man we saw before had a suitcase in one hand and car keys in the other, he got into his car and we never saw him near the neighborhood again.

The day I almost died
When I was six my mom, my sister and I went to Nicaragua with a friend of my mom's named Linda. My dad was on call that day and my mom told him we where going. We stayed on Linda's house with her husband and her two sons. I was very excited to go to Nicaragua because my mom told me they had a volcano and that we where able to go and watch it. A couple of days later we went to the volcano, I took many volcanic rocks with me and we left. On the way home we went to the grocery store grabbed a couple of things and left. We got to Linda's house, parked the car in front of the house and got our  bags. My mom let go off my hand to get some more things, when she turned around I walked across the street and when I was halfway I saw a car coming into my direction. I froze and started to run but it was to late I got hit by the car. I still had my rocks I grabbed them  and crawled up to te end of the street. My mom picked me up, got into a car with Linda and we went to a hospital. Linda drove the car, my mom sat in the backseat with me and tried to keep me awake, I tried and almost failed but we arrived to the hospital, I don't remember what happened after that but I had surgery on my hip and had my face disinfected, after a week I got discharged. I had to be in a wheel chair for 15 days and got to walk again.
