WHAT WAS IT?!

"WHAT WAS IT?!"

IT WAS BIG AND SCARY WITH FANGS I AM SURE OF!
I WAS SCARED TO DEATH. KIND OF PALE I WAS.
NOT STILL, BUT RUNNING FOR MY LIFE!
I WANT TO LIVE!
WAS TERRIBLE, JUST TERRIBLE!
MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS AND HADN'T EVEN STARTED ANY TROUBLE THAT WHOLE DAY.
DIDN'T DESERVE THIS!
RUNNING FAST AS I COULD AND MAKING SHARP TURNS TO LOSE IT, I RAN.
INTENT ON GETTING ME, IT CHASED ME FOR THE FUN OF IT.
NOT A GAME I SAID!
ALMOST FELL A COUPLE TIMES TOO.
OUT OF BREATH, I THINK I LOST THAT AWFUL CREATURE!
TURNED AROUND TO CLAIM MY VICTORY AND SAW...
A BUTTERFLY!

MORAL OF THIS TRUE-LIFE EVENT: KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD RUN FROM AND KNOW WHEN TO STAY!
