The day we lost our moon

The day we lost our moon

The horror of that day!
Here’s the story of the day we lost our moon… first one clear night I looked out of my bedroom window and saw something I’ve never seen before. The moon, it was tiny a dot in the sky, nothing else but total blackness. Then I realized the moon was losing the earths pull. It was getting smaller and smaller every night. One night, as I pulled back the curtain the dot was not there. The earth slightly moved, an earthquake I thought oh no not an earthquake but the moon went BAM! Into the sun. We went to the beach that day. I was thinking about nothing else but last night. I should tell my parents, I thought. No, maybe I’ll keep it a secret. I looked down at the sea, all bluish with white ripples coming closer to the fine, sandy shore. The ocean, still as a statue, hung there, right in front of me. I thought of the poor fisherman and how they might starve and go thirsty. I sat down on the sand and stared at the ship thing that scoops water out of the sea.
