The day after my 10th birthday was a day to remember. I put things away in my closet that evening from my sleepover
the day before. My dad helped me when POKE! Suddenly
something painfully sharp pricked my toe.
I thought it was just a tack and didn’t
freak out though the pain made my leg feel terribly numb. I looked down
and shrieked, there stood a SCORPION! I ran out of the closet as fast as I
could as my dad called my name, “Audrey what is it!?”. He found the scorpion
and killed it.
I went into the living room and cried from
the pain and fear. I told my mom but she couldn't understand me since I was
crying. Finally my older sister Alex decoded what I said. “Mom don’t you get it, she got stung by a
scorpion!”. I felt like I spoke a different language because no one understood
me. My amazing mom had not freaked out like I did and got me an ice pack and
calmly sat
me down.
When I finally calmed down and my whole
family could understand me I told them how
the venom caused shooting pains. Once I felt a little better, I got ice cream
cake my dad made for my birthday. That night I got in bed tired and a
little scared that another scorpion might lurk behind a corner. I just felt
glad that my awesome God kept me safe the whole time.
