    I used to think that life was fun and adventurous, that was until we moved into a small cabin in the woods. I can't have fun anymore because I'm afraid and I can't go on adventures and explore because of the mansion next door.

Before we moved, I used to live in a little town called SummerVille. It was always hot, but that'd didn't stop Papa from inviting all of our neighbors over to roast marshmallows and hotdogs. Papa would always take the kids out to the barn to feed the farm animals. I don't go because feeding them is a chore for me and I don't want to do it twice a day, so I usually go with Sam, our 6 year old neighbor. We play board games until it's time for him to go home.

After everyone goes I go lay down on the couch and Papa usually goes to bed, but this time he didn't, he sat down beside of me. I was a bit concerned because he had never done this before.He sat beside me and told me in a very calm voice," We are going to move on Sunday. I know this is sudden and I didn't even talk to you about it but, it's what's best for you." The thought of leaving my home, my friends, and our farm behind make my stomach flutter. You know, the type of feeling you get when you're on a roller coaster. I could feel the tears starting to build up in my eyes as my father had looked at me like he was wanted me to say something. "I don't wanna leave!" I screamed as tears ran down my face. " We can have electricity and be in the city, we can have green bushes instead of old dried up ones. It won't  be hot all the time there  either, it will be hot, cold, and on some days, it will feel perfect." I thought about how it would be cool to see snow and rain. It hardly ever rains here, it's like we live in a Desert! I thought and thought about what he said. "I've finally made up my mind Papa, I want to move." We went back inside and he said that it's time to get some shut eye. I didn't want to sleep, I had too many things on my mind but, I managed to fall asleep in less than 10 minutes. I knew that when I woke up it would only be another day until we moved.
