It was a stormy day, i woke up alone in my room. I looked around the room to see if anyone else was there with me.  5 minutes passed and and that’s when I noticed I was all alone. At this time i was only about 11 years old; so i eas terrified to br alone. I soon turned on the TV so the room wouldn’t be at complete silence. I waited about 20 minutes for someone to come home ; it felt lile hours passed by. After another 10 minutes I finally heard the door nob being open. The door soon slowly widens, I then see kt was just my mom coming in. I was just so releaved. She then tells me to go into tbe kitchen, i then wondered why? I didnt really question her, so I did as she told me. As i go out side I see my dad standing there with my older couisn; they were holding a huge tank. They told me too look inside, so I did. I couldn’t beleive my eyes! It was my very first pet sitting inside of it; it was an adorable turtle! Right away I named it cookie since its shell reminded me of one.
