the day in the woods
The day in the woods
By Candra Wurtz
I had Lived an ordinary life with nothing at all interesting happening. Every day felt like the same ordinary old day. I was in a rut, stuck in a constant loop, nothing interesting ever happened to me, until that one Thursday. I remember it like it was yesterday, it was an ordinary sunny fall day, the leaves were the reds and yellows, the sun was warm on my back and it was the perfect day.
I was just relaxing in a tree reading a book when a nut bonked me on the head, then another and another. I looked op in the tree and saw a pack of squirrels throwing nuts intentionally at my head. Swiftly as I could climbed down the tree, but with one careless error I tumbled down three feet or so while still being pelted by nuts.
Once I got up I took off running away from the squirrels. Sadly the squirrels were faster and relentless. As I was running I was not paying attention to where I was going and I went straight in to a large oak tree. WHAM!!! Thud Thud Thud Thud Thud was all I heard as I faded out of conciseness. I was startled as I woke being carried away by a pack of wild turkeys.
Once they carried me to safety away from the squirrels I asked them if they could show me to the path and if the did I would never eat turkey ever again. I think they understood because they formed a circle around me and lead me to the path and thanked them again. Once they left I ran all the way through the woods to my house. I could not wait to tell them all about my day in the woods. The only problem was they did not believe me and they laughed at me. They said that I probably hit my head harder than I thought and that it was most likely my imagination. They said that all of it never really happened, but I will always know the truth about that day in the woods.
