The Chase
A gunshot goes off, then a scream. With my heart
racing, I look all around me trying to pinpoint the location.
“RUN!” He screams. I look to my left to see my brother
heading for me. “GET TO THE CAR!” He shouts. Without

as I reach the car. I jump in the driver’s seat and crank it.
“Rur-rur-rur” the big motor slowly turns over but doesn’t
crank. “CRANK!” It thunders. I look to my left again to see
my brother almost to the car. I try to crank it again and the
old car roars to life, just as he reaches me. He jumps in and
yells “GO!” I slam it into gear and stomp on it.

automotive industry specializing in work on “classic” models.

close to where we have fun. You can float in the water,
lying on your back, or go into the water for swimming.
Finally, the sand is very special.
A dog is beautiful. It is a protective and true friend. A
dog brings an inexplicable capacity for love even though it

master. It can play or make you feel that something is
wrong (and save your life). It also is a good companion and
can make you happy. Sometimes, you feel alone and it
comes for you to play. A dog is really cute because of his
back, his hair, his cheerfulness when he is playing, and
shaking his tail for fun. It can establish the difference
