I woke up on a perfect sunny day in my snuggly warm bed with blades of light screaming through the curtains. I thought it would be a good day to go for a walk in the woods. I spring out of bed and before I walk through the hall I hear my parents snoring their heads off, it was so loud they sounded like chainsaws cutting down a trees. I didn’t want to disturb them so I left a note. “Hey Mom & Dad, I’m going for a walk in the woods today, I’ll be back later. -Owen.” I stepped through the door with a witch in my stomach brewing up a feeling of excitement, I take a deep and refreshing breath before walking aimlessly down the street. I find myself at the start of the rail trail that leads through the deep dark woods. The walk got a little boring because I've walked this trail millions of times, I decided to stay from the path and wander around for a bit.
I pass I sign with a really creepy font that said “ Do Not Pass This Point!” But I ignore it because really how bad can the woods be? I pear at all the trees and flowers, it was amazing I've never seen this part of the forest before. As I got deeper and deeper into the forest, the beautiful flowers start to fade by and things became more and more stange. It was the kind of strange that made you question why you're even hear. But then it got even more strange. There were no more trees all except a little grove of trees that looks like it had been planted in an empty meadow in the middle of a forest.
I walked into the little grove and the first thing that caught my eye was a little pond. The pond looked magical it had lots of little flowering trees surrounding one side of it, the water was as clear as crystals it was really alluring. I take off my shoes and the water felt like magic. I make a splash as if it were the best time of my life, I see little circle ripples repeating over and over, following that a big rumbling shake pushes me into the water soaking me completely. I felt like I was moving but how could that be? Land Moving? I slowly steady myself and walk to the edge of the grove. I was moving, the grove had legs; really big ugly legs with even bigger feet that had moss and dirt wedged in between the toes. I came too close to the edge and I fell onto what I thought was in a giant dirt nose with moss growing all around it. I find myself staring into two big beady green eyes as I sit on the ogers nose. I spy around the edge of the ogre's head and I saw a trail of fallen down being pushed over by two giant ugly feet.
I hear screams coming from behind me, I quickly swiveled around and I saw a terrorized town running from this ogre .(Which i’m sitting on) The ogre stomped his loud feet, with each step he took was like an earthquake one after another. He walked over to the docs and picked up a large white boat. “I don’t know why he wanted that boat when there are other things like money or houses, “ Oops.” I said with a worrying concern in my voice. I think I said that out loud because the ogre is taking a roof off someone's house. This had gone far enough, I had to stop this oger from destroying the town. I started to scream” HEY, HEY STOP!”
His eyes meet mine as he look at the little speck that sat on his nose. He looked at me as if he didn’t know I was there. He picked me from the top of his nose with his big dirty moss covered fingers, I asked
him “Why are you stealing these things?” He gave out a long depressing siey with his incredibly deep and unclear and slow voice ” hhhhhhhh!” A gust of his breath hit my face as he said that.” I’m lonely I just wanted company.” “Well, I could be your friend.” I said. The ogre's face filled with happiness. He replied with a loud “YEA!” He held me in his hand and he thundered back into the woods. Past the beautiful trees and into the empty meadow where there was a big bite out the earth missing. He climbed back into his hole and it was like it was just a grove and nothing else.
As I returned to the town giant foot marks were permanently engraved on the street with little cracks shooting out the sides like lightning. I could people peering around the corners of buildings so see if it were safe. I guiltily walk home and try to act as if nothing had happened. I cheek on my parents, I was expecting them to come rushing up to me to see if I was ok. That was not one of those times, they were still snoring their heads off.
