Personal Narrative by Stefan

Have you ever experienced a scalding hot night when it seems to be warmer than the day? It’s kind of like the sun’s heat was transferred to the moon. Because it was so humid; bugs my family had never seen before were whizzing about in the night sky. Good thing we had gotten our malaria shots. I’d like to say the temperature was 1,000,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit; but it was only about 70 degrees. Still, that is hot for nighttime, even in Hawaii where we were.

A cockroach three inches long came darting out from under the coffee table; and under the couch where my uncle and I were sitting. My fourteen-year-old- cousin was so freaked out that he jumped onto the table where the cockroach came from, screaming, “mommy.”(His high pitch voice when he’s scared is priceless) Then a bee bigger than the cockroach flew out from under the table. “BZZZZ. BZZZZ,”  Alex(my cousin) jumped so high he caused an eclipse. Julien (my brother) was so freaked out by the bee that he jumped onto the table also. The two were making such a racket crying and dancing like a slow dance. My other cousin Matthew had earphones on listening to music and had no idea what was going on. Then the bee flew in the direction of the cockroach and they went into the light of the steaming moon, and with the other bugs.
