One day in summer, I wanted to go to the forest next to my house. I had never been there before, EVER. As I was about to enter the forest, it seemed like there was an object blocking my path, but nothing was there, or so it seemed. A humongous brown sign appeared, and it said, “Enchanted Forest, DO NOT ENTER.” As I was about to walk away, an ogre walked right in. I quickly followed behind it and went into the enchanted forest. I decided to take a walk in the forest. I thought 5 minutes had passed, but then the forest turned into fall. Another 5 minutes passed, and it became winter. I was LOST. I quickly found my way back, and what I thought was 10 minutes was actually 10 years.
Getting Lost in an Enchanted Forest

The waves splashing on the shore just like sea in galore, all the space left between, in the ocean never to be seen. Sea stars move like colorful snails, the turtles swims in the hail, as the sky turns murky gray the ocean sees a different way. Night falls as day goes, leaving the water silent as woe, finding shelter, finding food, the ocean seems fragile to As day comes it brightens, leaving things out of frighten, lying on the sun so slow, night disovves as day beems.
