Scary Scavenger Hunt
It was Saturday night, and I had nothing to do. I thought of calling Jessica, Suzie, and maybe a few more people. As I was about to call Jessica; Mekayla calls. Mekayla came up with a wonderful idea. She says, “We should get some people together and have a scavenger hunt.”
“I will call Jessica and Suzie; you call some other people that you know,” I told her. I got done calling Jessica and Suzie and I thought to myself about who is going to set up the scavenger hunt, so I call back Mekayla.

Jessica and I walk over to Suzie and all I see in her hand is a clam. I laugh hysterically and say, “That isn’t a Sand Dollar.”
“A Sand Dollar is a round, flat, and smooth shell like thing with a star in the middle,” Jessica tells her.”
We walk back our spots and keep looking. Twenty minutes pass by and none of us could find anything. “Let’s move down the beach a little ways,” I said frustrated
We moved down the beach and started looking again. I find a bunch of Sand Dollars, but they are all broken. As I am looking I feel like someone is behind me so I look behind me and nobody’s there. I turn back...
