I shut the door gently, and I headed farther out into the yard. I jumped the fence and began my walk towards the lake, which wasn’t that far, but still quite a journey. I climbed up the steep hill, and looked back upon my house. “Bye, boys, see you later.” I said walking away. If it were darker, I would’ve fallen in the holes near the trees. I watched carefully at the ground and eventually passed the area. Why was that place full of holes? Me. I dig a hole for every time I see a shooting star go swiftly across the sky over the river. I say my same wish every time I see one; “I wish for something way better than me.” I’d say. I sat on the old bench, looking over the water at the sky. I stared, and there it was, the shooting star from the night before, and before that, and before that, and so on. I put my hands together, and wished; “I wish for something better than myself.”. I looked around, why was there the sound of sirens? I looked at the road across from the lake, and there was a person running. I was shocked and amazed, I was going to watch my first police chase. All of a sudden, I realized that they were coming my direction. I grabbed my stuff, and dug a hole really quickly. I climbed up the hill, and watched. The person who was running came toward the field of holes. I was thinking that he or she was going to fall in and the police would get ‘em, but I was wrong, and the person came towards the hill I was on. The police were the ones that fell in the holes I made. The person hid in the bush next to the bush I was in. “Why are they chasing me? I literally did nothing!” said the person. The person sounded like a mature kid, and I was confused. “Hi?” I said silently, yet to my luck, I saw an eye through the other bush. “Hey, are you the one who set those traps?” he said. I had to admit it, but I kind of felt scared when he talked. “Yeah, but those really weren’t supposed to be traps.” I said. “Well thanks kid.” He said taking off, away past the hill. I didn’t have a chance to see him, but other than that, that was weird. The police were out of the hole and had their guns pointed at the person, and they open fired. I didn’t know if he was shot or not, but I had to do something, so I looked around and I found a snake slithering in the grass. I threw it at them and they screamed. They threw their guns in shock and I raced to go pick the guns up. They were still screaming at the snake that was on the other police officer, then they fell in a hole, the one I just dug. I grabbed the end of the guns and bopped their heads with it, then they were knocked out. “Did I just do that?” I said remarkably. I mean, I’ve done worse, but this is a refresher for the last things I’ve done. I looked around and called for the guy who was shot. When I came near the road, my dad drove up to me. “What are you doing here late at night?! It is past curfew! I’m taking you home, and you better not sneak out again, got it!??” Said my dad. “Yes sir.” I said thankful of him not finding out about what just happened. I was tired then, but who was that mysterious person? I was going to wait till tomorrow…
