Life

As I was walking, I heard a small voice. I looked all around. “Down here!” said the voice. And there by my foot was the smallest person ever. Two inches tall. I bent down and picked him up and he stood on my hand. “Who are you?” I asked.

They were huge--bigger than a car, even bigger than a house. Suddenly there were three more of them.

My heart started beating so fast I thought it was going to burst. I looked around for a place to hide.

The killer hamburgers were after me.
