Camping Story

Sneakers, purple, quiet, dark, playground, those specefic words remind me of a story. When I was a teenager, I went on an overnight camping trip. Our campsite was once a summer camp for kids way back when, the camp had become abadoned but the cabins were still there. Mrs. Cox told us how she was one of the campers, and there was no electricity or running water. My friend Willow, thought it would be really fun to play a game of hide and seek. I didn't think it was a good idea because, the sun was going to set soon, and it would be dark. She decided that it would be "it", I love hide and seek but I kind of stuck out with my florscent pink shirt and purple pants, and it would be really hard to blend in with the trees. I tried to be quiet, but I am the loudest person ever. I hid in a bush, but walking to it my sneakers squeaked. Earlier that day, we went hiking, and crossed a creek, I thought my sneakers were waterproof but they weren't. Yes, I squeaked really loudly, and Willow found me. After a long game, we decided to head to camp, we passed by an abadoned playground, it looked errie in the dark. Willow dared me to spend the night all alone in the abandoned playground, . Mrs. Cox told us that the camp closed, and that it was turned into camping site. Willow told me that a family was camping in one of the cabins and it caught fire and burned to the ground. The family was out hiking but the little girl stayed behind. I thought she was just trying to scare me. Mrs. Cox told us that a lot of strange things happened in the woods, when she was a camper, there were tales about a beast that prowled the woods. Also the one about the cabin was true, and that some claim to see a little girl skipping through the woods half burned looking. Also a little boy disapeared from the playground and was never found and seen running through the woods. Of course, that night I didn't sleep at all, and the next morning Mrs. Cox told us that she made it all up, well except for the half burned little girl, and she will still not go into the woods at night, I don't blame her.
