Dear Diary,

It is late September in Denmark and Annemarie and I just had the most scariest moment EVER . I mean it was just a race nothing else.

It all started when Annemarie and I were practicing for the athletic meet on Friday. Annemarie said, “Ready?” I knew that she was going to beat me she always does. We were crossing the corner when two soldiers stopped us. I froze, standing there. A million questions floating around in my mind. What if they notice my dark hair? What if they take me away? I didn’t know what was going to happen.

The soldiers started to talk to Annemarie. They asked her a bunch of questions. One of the soldiers was one that we recognized. We called him Giraph because he had a very long neck. We just hoped that he didn’t know.

I don’t think that Annemarie knew how scared I was today. I hope that, that will never happen again.

Till next time ,

It was almost time,

kids rushing,

the call of numbers filled our ears,

it was almost time,

one present after another,

like there were thousands,

it was almost time,

sitting there like a black hole,

almost chosen,

the last one,

 

It was almost time,

there it was,

the movie,

laughter filled the room,

time after time,

four years in a row,

back and forth,

but now back to him,

our elephant game.
