Today was...something else. In the morning there was a huge storm, a humongous storm, I was very scared. There was water dripping into the shack, running down the walls. Next I had to go get some water...barefoot. It was cold, wet and windy. Then I went back home. I was thirsty, if only the government would give us more water. I knew that the water was for supper tonight, but I didn't want to go get some more water from the tap that was so far away. Some children are so lucky, they can go to school, my only dream is to go to school. Later that night, mom made supper, not much. I went outside to go to the toilet. It's not nice to go to a dirty toilet with no door. When I was finally in bed, I felt cold, I switched on the light. Thank goodness I have a Khaya power bottle. Finally I went to sleep. What a day. What will happen tomorrow?
Dear Erin,
ReplyDeleteOh my, the suspense! I'd love to read more. I hope it all turned out well.
Just check your tenses - sometimes you write in the present tense and then in past tense. Try to remain constant.
Well written. Keep up the great effort.
