Yesterday,

I felt angry…

Normal hills looked like they were getting smaller.

Insects abandoned their homes, and flowers closed.

Clouds were getting darker by the minute.

Dogs barked ferociously and loudly.

Cars were driving fast and furious.

The world was really mixed up.

Today,

I feel much happier…

The hills were standing tall and strong with breezy air.

Flowers were glowing in the sunlight.

The sun was coming before the clouds and sunlight was shining through.

Dogs were sprinting around the house heavily.

Car drivers drove carefully around streets

The world is much happier

Yesterday,

I felt tired…

The hills widen into a giant minefield.

I smelt like rotten fruit and my brothers needed gas masks.

Monster, clouds covered the night sky with rumbling thunder.

The birds fell off the tree sleepily.

My scooter lay in the backyard, lonely.

I shrunk and the whole world grew enormous.

Today,

I feel wide awake…

The huge hills were filled with children enjoying their moment.

The smell of love worshipped me like a king.

The beautiful white clouds shined from the suns light.

The bird flew up high in the sky gracefully.

My scooter leaned happily on the tree.

The world shined with bright light.

Yesterday…

I felt lazy

The street spanned into a giant footpath.

The hills widen into a huge pit of darkness.

Puffy clouds moving slowly.

The dog lay in its kennel energized.

My bike lay on the ground idly.

The world never spun.

Today…

I feel much better

Kids filled the streets

The hills were sunny for the kids to play on.

Clouds looked like cotton candy floating in the air.

My dog was chasing its tail around.

My bike was doing awesome tricks.

The world spun with exciment again.
