1. It has been one year but, feels like yesterday, when I was locked in terror. What was supposed to be a fun night for all turned out to be the worst night of my life. It was raining and I had all the candy I could get in my Halloween bag. I went too far from my home and my friends had already returned to theirs. But, there was a shortcut home for me.

This is my paradise and I hope to never grow up. But, i will, and it 'll be 2018
