Fine...

FINE! I'll post something different!!! You have no idea how desperate you all sound! But just because I don't post every day doesn't mean I take that long to post! Some people take forever! But sorry my computer time is limited- don't ask why. So say goodbye to the daily post- at least for now. Anyway, I'll do 'like an exerpt or something'.

She started with a walk. Slow and easygoing, in no hurry at all. But she gradually became too impatient and speeded up. When even that was too slow, she kicked off her shoes and sprinted across the field. When she came to the stream, her heart pounded faster, but she leapt over it with ease. Soon she was there.
The bright sun shone through the thick canopy of leaves, casting a green light through the trees. The stream had become a creek, wider and clearer. Needles blanketed the ground and gave the whole place a fresh, earthy smell. Birds chirped overhead.
She stepped up to a thick log that led across the creek. Following the familiar path that she knew by heart, she made her way to the tree. It must have been centuries old. It towered above all the other trees. The trunk was wide enough to wrap twelve arms around, and was covered in knarly bark. Its branches twisted up and around, reaching out like crooked fingers. The girl climbed quickly up the tree, nimble with experience. Her bare feet were tough and the bark was soft with wear. When she reached her spot, she settled herself in comfortably and fell asleep.
It was dark when she awakened. The stars were barely visible through the trees and a cool breeze wisped across her hot face. She heard rustling in down below, and stiffened. The sound soon stopped, as if someone was trying to stifle it.
A twig cracked.
A dark figure crept below her. The girl stayed perfectly still, not daring to breathe. A flashlight clicked on and she turned away, hugging the tree for cover. Carefully, she leaned around again to see what was going on. When she saw who the figure was, she nearly screamed with despair.
No! she thought. This was the last place that she had thought they would look. She had thought she was safe here!

That wasn't the best, but I guess it was okay. Bye!!!
