Independent reading update

I’ve ben reading the book “Hatchet” a lot recently and I’m now I’d say maybe a fourth of the way through the book. So far the main character named Brian has created a shelter in the woods and has used his hatchet to hunt animals. He experienced trauma in is life before the eves of the book, and throughout the book he is constantly thinking about it.

Finish The Story

Hi everyone, as the title says you will have to finish the story. I mostly got inspired to do this because of Brandon, he did two “Finish The Stories” , well here is the story

 

 

I sat in my bed during the night, I couldn’t sleep it was just too humid in my room. Suddenly, WACK!!! A rock hit my window, I looked outside of the window and saw someone in a hoodie just standing outside in the rain. I got a little frightened, mostly because I was home alone and my parents were at a hotel for the weekend. I decided to be brave and sneak downstairs to get a better look at the person outside. As I was walking downstairs I heard the bushes crushing from outside, I got scared but continued to the first floor. As I was standing in the den, I looked outside of the window to see the person wasn’t there. Then I turned around to see the person standing outside of the glass door. What will I do?

 

Now you have to make an ending, write the ending in the comments, bye…
