Have you ever had to escape or run away from someone?
shack
“Fine, fine,” Damon muttered. “So he won’t eat a ladybug. Let’s find something that’s not beneficial at all.”A big, fat, black housefly flew over our heads, and Damon pointed toward it. “You can eat a fly.”“I am not going to eat a fly,” I declared. “They are disgusting, dirty insects. If I ate a fly, I would probably get really sick.”“Damon ate a fly once,” Jenna interrupted. “It was while we were on the bike path by the railroad tracks. We had just passed that old, dirty shack where the crazy lady lives. Don’t you remember?”

trespassing
“I remember that lady,” Carrie admitted. She came out of the shack waving that big old shovel and yelled that we were trespassing and that we better get off her property.”“And she had that big, dirty dog that barked and barked,” I added as the memory returned.“Then she let go of the leash, and the dog started chasing us, and we had to go up that steep hill as fast as we could,” Damon smiled at the memory.“I remember feeling like I couldn’t breathe, and I knew the dog was right behind me, but I couldn’t pedal any faster,” Jenna added.
Reading
pickup
“It was a good thing that big pickup came by and scared the dog away,” I said.Carrie nodded. “I remember that it was going so fast, I thought it was going to fly off the road.”“And then we got to the corner, and we were all so out of breath, hot and sweaty, and we didn’t have any water,” Jenna laughed.“And that’s when I swallowed the fly,” Damon shouted. “I was breathing so hard, and it just flew in my mouth, and I couldn’t stop myself from swallowing it.”We all gasped and laughed, remembering the moment.
Reading
cough
“You turned bright red,” I remembered. “And you coughed and coughed, but it wouldn’t come back up.”“That was the most disgusting thing ever,” Damon pretended to throw up, and then he looked me in the eye. “But if I’ve already eaten a fly, I think it’s only fair that you eat one, too.”“I already told you, I’m not going to eat a fly,” I responded. “I bet there isn’t one good thing about that hideous creature.”“Actually,” Jenna said as she opened her phone again.

“Then she let go of the leash and the dog started chasing us and we had to go up that steep hill as fast as we could,” Damon smiled at the memory. “I remember feeling like I couldn’t breathe, and I knew the dog was right behind me, but I couldn’t pedal any faster,” Jenna added. “It was a good thing that that big pickup came by and scared the dog away,” I said.
