I felt a tremor<\/strong> shake the house<\/p>\n

on the night of the storm<\/p>\n

thunder roared as lightning shattered the sky<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I heard weird sounds in the night<\/p>\n

like an elk<\/strong> crying<\/p>\n

a buffalo snorting<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hid under the blankets<\/p>\n

with just my elbow<\/strong> sticking out of my jacket<\/strong><\/p>\n

I pulled it in, when it got chilled<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I summoned up the courage<\/p>\n

to investigate an irritating banging noise<\/p>\n

I heard it coming from the carport<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

slowly I climbed down the stairs<\/p>\n

one step at a time<\/p>\n

the noise seemed to be getting louder<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the lightbulb<\/strong> hanging from the ceiling<\/strong><\/p>\n

was swaying back and forth and banging<\/p>\n

a bucket<\/strong> on the floor was filled with red bloody liquid<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

what’s going on?<\/p>\n

I stuck my pinky in to identify the bubbly<\/p>\n

OMG…it was delicious beet juice<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

just then I heard my alarm clock go off<\/p>\n

my mother yelling at me to get ready for school<\/p>\n

grateful to end this nightmare of a dream<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
