I see a big monster. But little did I know it was a bag of salt that looked like a monster staring at me. I was so scared (I could have pooped on myself.) As I was making my way up the ladder my stomach continued to growl over and over. All of a sudden the flashlight started to cut in and out. I kept banging it against my hand but the flashlight refused to turn back on, I was terrified. The only hope I had to get me through the attic was now letting me down. I just wanted to turn around and go back and forget about this whole thing, I was thinking to myself. Now that I did not have a flashlight I was on my own. When I heard my cousin Jess scream, “Are you getting scared up there?” it made me want to run up to the attic and prove to her that I was not scared. 

I crept, and I crept, and I crept until a rat ran across my foot. I panicked and covered my face in my hands, and I was thinking the sooner I get there the quicker I could be out of there. I was finally getting closer to tapping the back wall of the attic but there was something telling me that I should stay up there all night so that I could worry my two cousins. But I knew how my cousins thought: they would have thought that I was just fine. So I did not dare to stay up there all night. Boy I could not explain how happy I was to be almost done with this DARE. Next thing I knew I hear a loud thump, it scared the hair off of my legs. 

After the fact I heard my cousins scream again and this time they said “Maria you got only two minutes” until my dare was over. So I put a move on and put all my feelings aside and just (flew back there like the wind.) I finally tapped the back of the attic. I was so relived that I had just finished the dare. I ran back to the ladder and made my way back down the stairs. There my cousins awaited me, very surprised that I had followed through. They both asked “What was it like?” Then my grandma said lights out. I told my cousins that I would tell them all about it in the morning. We all got tucked into our sleeping bags, And in just about 5 minutes we were all asleep.
