A little place where nothing happens there was a little boy who lived with his mother. Beside the fact that he was an only child his mother loved him very much, he loved where he lived until one day something did happen in the little place where nothing happened. Chester who was the little boy’s uncle and the mother's brother had stopped by early that after noon to talk to his sister and nephew about an accident that had occurred last night. "Dogs were barking all night long and were going crazy over all the racket and noise they were hearing in the streets" Chester was saying. Everyone had woken up to the dogs and all the noise that was going on, "I had run out of my house to see what was going on and there was a family of bears wondering the streets". First I didn't believe what I was seeing, they must of came down from the woods looking for something to eat or to cause harm. George was Chester's neighbor and had told him that one of the bears had dragged a little girl off with them; I had gone back inside my house to go get my raffle. However when I was inside my house getting my raffle I heard screams coming from three houses down from mine, I guess one of the bears was in the front yard trying to get into the house. I never thought in a million years that anything like his would ever happen, when I first moved here they told me "that this was a clam and mellow town and that noting big ever happens here. Just before I thought nothing else could go wrong a bear came running towards me trying to attack me, I didn't know what to do at first I panicked, closed my eyes and just started shooting when I opened my eyes the bear was laying there right in front of me. Killing that bear was one of the hardest things I ever had to do, but it was either me that would have had to go or the bear, and I knew it was going to be the bear. Lopsided I stood still in shock of what just happened, we finally got rid of the bears either by killing them or running them back to the woods. Maybe things would be different if we were more careful and we expected that something may occur, and that just because one person thinks that the unexpected can happen. No one knew what to do, how to react, or what to say after everything was cleared up. Other then the fact that one little girl went missing and we could not find her I was really happy to be alive. People in town don't know if they feel safe now or if they should leave because they don't know if bears will come to town again. Question after question people kept asking if the families were going to be safe, no one could answer the questions because no one could predict the future to see if there would be anymore bear attacks in the town. "Rather than the fact that all this has happened I came here to let you know what was going on last night and to warn you to be on the lookout for bears". Somewhat of the town went back to their everyday lives doing what they did before the attack of the bears, but the rest of the town never was the same after. They just couldn't go back to their normal lives because it was just so tragic of what happened, it did effect lives of the people but that was life. Usually in life things are going great for you but then something tragic happens and it may affect people in many different ways. Very many people have to live with some impact in their life but for some they don't have to worry about anything. Wonder after wonder am still confused about the night of the attack, there are so many questions I ask myself about that night but they will never be answered. Xerophytes are blooming throughout the woods and we hope that the bears stay up there eating those instead of trying to get our food. Year after year things started getting a lot better for the people in town and they stared calming down, I didn't think I would ever see the town go back to the way it use to be. Zealous I felt about this whole tragic incident but I knew it was finally over and I could go back to living my life, I just hope everyone can move on the same way I did.
