Ferrets!

Date: 5/31/2019

I sat at the dining room table, and noticed two blue plastic cards, perfect for throwing. It was night time. I studied the cards, for they had the strangest advertisement. "Battle your way through life - threatening situations on this thrilling trip," they read. "You'll have the most amazing stories to tell when you come back. If you come back." On one of the cards there was a photo of a guy on a segway with handlebars, riding through a forest. Suddenly, I was that guy, and I turned right on the dirt road into the driveway of our forest hotel. It had one floor, and looked like a japanese art studio. The concierge showed us to our rooms, or rather, our room. Tons of twin beds were set haphazardly around the room. After choosing beds and dropping off our stuff, we went to the beach shore for a bit. The waves were about 20 feet tall, but I knew I was invincible against them. They crashed over Dad and I, while Mika and Mom watched. Later, I decided to hike up a little bit. Then I saw them. Ferrets. They swarmed over the island like insects, millions of them. Walls of the rodent-like animals chased us, and they wanted to kill us. We ran to the far side of the island, for we were indeed on an island. The end looked like a marsh, with green ponds of algae all around us. I stayed back and helped everyone elso corss a log that led to safety. There wasn't any space left, so I climbed up the nearest tree to escape them. Hanging from the highest branch upside down, I used a club to whack ferrets away as they climbed up the tree. Then I woke up in my dream, and I was back in the hotel, except now we were in a room with two bunk beds. Three other boys, perhaps Austin, Nathan, and Davin, were holding me upside down between the beds shaking me. That made sense, of course it had all been a bad dream. They set me down, and I jokingly called them idiots before lying back down on my bed and going to sleep.
