in Kentucky
January 28th, 2007
Clara was furious.She had to go to Africa.Why did her parents do this to her?She had been a good daughter to them.And now they betrayed her,leaving her to probably die in the hot african sun.
Clara was on the ship (finally) to go.She had decided that if she had to do this,she was going to do it as fast as she could,and by that she wanted to catch the ship that was going to go back to America.
After the long boat trip,Clara went to her apartment that she was staying in,changed into safari clothes,and ran back out.She had to go to atleast three wilderness tours before the next return ship came for the early leavers.Sure,Clara was going to get in monumentally large trouble when her parents found out that she had been home early,but she didn't care.She would rather be grounded than stay with animals.
"And as you look to your left,you can see the wild rhinosaurus.",the tour guide said boredly.Clara was the least bit interested in this as the tour guide seemed he was.She was to busy reading her magazine to notice anything,especially what the tour guide was saying.
"Okay,hold on to the straps next to you in the vehicle.We are hitting a huge hole and you could be swung off your seat onto the ground."
Everyone did so,except for Clara.She wasn't listening to him.
Then they hit the hole.Clara went bouncing off the seat.No one noticed because she was sitting in the back row.And she was gone like that.
"Wait",she screamed,but they went on.What made it worse that that truck was the last one to travel that path.The path was going to be shut down because of the hole.She was left there,all alone.
