I Was Running for My Life

I was running for my life

I remember in 4th grade these people that lived up the street from me carpooled with all of us that lived in the same neighborhood to go to school. I think I was eleven years old at the time sever years felt so long ago. But it really felt like yesterday. I remembered being terrified of dogs. Especially the golden retriever at the Carney’s residence.

It was 8:00 pm and I had left to go the Carneys since it was there day to drive. I rang the door bell and the door opened the dog bursted out the door and jumped on me I was scared for my life telling him to sit. The mom grabbed the dog and said its okay she won’t bite with a big white smile. I gulped spit. She told me to sit on the couch and wait
