May 31, 2016 - Intruder

I got home. It was dark out. I was on the phone with Joshua. I was just about to put my key in the door when I noticed that the back door was open, as if someone had just left and hadn’t closed the door behind them.
I put my back against the house, next to the door, trying to not be seen. I listened. I heard the rustling of leaves and footsteps in the woods next door. I wanted to tell Joshua, or to scream for help, but I didn’t want to make my presence known.
I was afraid to go inside because what if there are more than one of them? I was afraid to call for help. I was afraid to stay there. I started creeping west towards my neighbor’s, but she wasn’t home.

Eggs

Then he picked up an egg and began peeling it. Inside was a baby turtle and it began to move. Then I saw a turtle swim by. I said, "Why did you do that?" because I was upset that he had opened the egg. He said it was okay and that he was helping the turtle, but I argued that it wasn't good. Then I picked up a turtle egg and while I was looking at it, it began to hatch in my hands. Josh said, "See, they were ready to come out."
