It’s a typical school night, it’s late and I’m upstairs in my room doing homework. Like every night, right in the middle of doing homework, I get on my laptop. I turn it on and I start listening to music. My parents and little sister are downstairs sleeping. So I can have my music loud as ever, regardless if my brother is sleeping since his room is down the hall from mine.
So my homework lies on the floor unfinished, and my eyes start getting heavy, but still on the computer and texting. Then all of a sudden I hear scratching on my door, so I pause the music and I ask “who’s there ?” but no response. So in my head I’m thinking that’s just my brother trying to scare me like always. I sit back on my bed, playing the music and I hear the scratching once more. Still no response when I asked who was there.
I decided to call my brother to see if i hear his phone ring, he answered but said he was at work. So I bravely opened my door, and it was my dog, Tracie. I felt so relieved ! Tracie happily comes in my room wagging her tail, and I continue with the music. As soon as it started playing, Tracie said “could you please turn the music off, that’s the reason why I’m up here. I can hear is from downstairs.” I was so shocked; I was speechless ! I said ” you can talk !”. “Yes”, she replied, “I actually can and that’s not all I can do.” “If I was to shake myself , I can go anywhere in the world.” “Wow”, I said in amusement. “Yup,when you leave from school and everyone goes to work, I’m not really alone at home tied up,I’m somewhere in the world.” I laughed.
So I tell her that we should go somewhere. She askes where and I said China, because I’ve never been there.When she shook herself; in the blink of an eye we were standing by the Great Wall of China. I was amazed,Tracie and I took a walk, we kept walking and I was getting tired. I suggested to go somewhere else and so we went to Egypt. It was so hot but the sand felt nice. Then I noticed I forgot my phone and I wondered If my mom noticed if i was even gone and called. I told Tracie, she said “not a problem.” She told me to dig in the sand and I would find it my phone. So i dug a little with my hands and I found a bone shaped box with my phone inside. I said “wow you do magic too”. She said “somewhat”. My mom had called, maybe wondering if my homework is finished.
So Tracie suggests to go back home so I can finish my homework. Tracie shakes* and we are back in my room again. I said “what an adventure !”. “Yes I agree, maybe when you actually finish your homework, we can go to other places”, Tracie responded. I smiled and told her goodnight. “Night, see you in the morning”, she said. After she left downstairs, I thought to myself ” Was I really talking to my dog ?”
. It was the next morning, I woke up to my mom’s “wake-up call”, after I hunged up the phone, I’m still laying in bed, and I wondered if last night even happened. I thought to myself ”no way, impossible, all just a dream.”, I began getting ready for school.I’m out the door, and Tracie is usually outside in the yard in the mornings. I put on my hoody, and I noticed I had sand in my pocket. I think to myself “why would I have sand in my pocket when I had it on through the night ?” I look back and Tracie winks at me.
The End.
