The
ThingBy Joe Strouth
Hi I’m Joe…just Joe. I’m pretty much an ordinary kid. I have a hamster named Hampy. I got him for Easter one year. I also have a brother named Will. He is ten years old and in the fifth grade. He also has a vicious hamster. Its name is Hairy. She likes to bite things. Both hamsters are dwarf hamsters and they both have the same style cage. Even still, I can’t believe what happened that night. It was so amazing. This is the story of what happened that night.
One night I went to check on my hamster. I was very surprised at what I saw. My hamster cage was all torn apart. I was really angry and sad.
Then my mom, Will, and I go over to look at Will’s hamster. The door is open, but his hamster is still in the cage. My mom and Will try to pet it, but it jumps back. Its stomach is bulging out in the shape of a hamster head. I was really scared!
His legs turn into these tall stick-like things. Suddenly he falls over and sneezes. My hamster crawls out of Will’s hamster’s mouth, all covered in blood. My hamster is injured, and my brother's hamster bleeds to death.
Then I woke up from the dream. It was a big relief that my hamster was okay. Since I couldn’t go back to sleep, I started to read. Eventually I went to sleep.
