What I did over the summer was really a bold move because before the summer started, I never left my house because of the pandemic because I was so scared. My friends came to get me one summer night to hang out and do whatever. Ever since that night, Iā€™ve been out almost every weekend with them and then out with my family. Thatā€™s what really surprised me throughout the summer. Iā€™ve been cooped up in my house for 4 months and the fact that I took a chance and left my house really surprised me. Of course, I take proper precautions when I go out, I have my mask on at all times, I donā€™t go in large crowdsā€¦ I donā€™t even like being around people, to begin with. I have wipes and hand sanitizer on me at all times and I wash my hands more times than I should. I’m still a little scared because of how often I do leave my house because I have my little sister and mom to come home to. I don’t want them to be around me until I correctly degerm myself. Nonetheless, I am grateful that I took that chance and left my house because I honestly would’ve gone crazy sitting in my house for the whole summer.

My favorite story out of the three is ā€œThe Black Catā€ because of the mystery it holds, for me at least. It was giving me Law and Order: Special Victims Unit vibes because of the way he killed his wife. Donā€™t get me wrong I did enjoy the other stories but it didnā€™t capture my attention like Edgar Allen Poeā€™s story did. I truly enjoy it, I read it more times than usual. It was also giving me serial killer vibes because he harmed an animal and everyone knows the signs of becoming a serial killer is to harm or kill a small animal and work your way up. I watch a lot of serial killer documentaries and horror movies. REPLY
