＊A Frightening Experience＊

It was the most horrible experience that I have had in my ninth grade.

We students had to study at school at night and take turns throwing the leftover. That night was my turn to do this task, which one had to go down the dark, vastly long corridor and trees alone. Just after my several steps to go back, I heard a slight sound which was like something falling on the ground. Suddenly, I noticed that there was an object in front of me, just four meters away. Since all lights had turned off, I couldn’t recognize what it was. Additionally, I was too afraid to get close to the unknown stuff. What with the appearance of the moon, what with my eyes’ adaptation to the darkness, gradually, the identity of the figure finally came out.

It was a pigeon whose chest was rotten with a large amount of blood pouring out from it. As the pigeon fell from the air to the ground, I stiffly moved my sight up and surprised to find the suspect easily. One was because it smack stood on the branch which was above its prey, the other was because there was only one animal, a squirrel, which has a bloody mouse looking down from trees.

I stunned into silence as I saw the squirrel’s eyes staring sharply at the moribund, shivering pigeon, and some sort of fright took the place of my favor to gentle squirrels.
