“KAREN!” I screamed. I couldn’t think straight. People were shouting but I didn’t listen.
All I could think about was Karen. Tears poured down my cheeks, the world blurred around me.
It was getting hotter. I had to think fast. A plan formed in my head. It was crazy but I had no
other ideas. So without another thought I ran straight into the raging flames.
“Mom, May won’t get out of bed!” Karen complained.
“Karen leave me alone,” I mumbled through my pillow. “You are very loud for seven
years old.” Even through my pillow I could hear Karen’s long exaggerated sigh.
“Come on May, we’re leaving for Florida today! We get to fly on an airplane, eat airplane
food, sit in airplane seats....
Karen had never ridden on an airplane before she was very excited. I however was not.
When I was nine I rode on an airplane to California to see my Aunt. On the ride I got up to use

Summer was finally here and they were all ready to go but there seemed to be a small problem and we couldn’t quite figure it out. We had waited all year for this two week trip where we were going all pile in our minivan and head cross country. But we couldn’t yet there was one thing that just didn’t seem right.

We had done a head count about three times and it wasn’t like there was a herd of us. There were only six of us not including the dog. Ok well maybe that is a herd compared to most other families and this trip was going to be annoying anyway. There is going to be me my two younger sister and my older brother who wasn’t to happy that we were taking two weeks away from his summer. Then there are my parents who can’t ride in the same car with other without complaining about the others driving habits.  Oh and don’t get me started on the dog all he is going to do is sit in the car and stink it up the ENTIRE time.

They were just about to leave when Dan suddenly exclaimed, "Wait I've forgotten my glasses!" He ran back into the house to search for them as the others waited impatiently outside. He searched through his room first, but came up empty handed. He then moved onto the living room thinking he must of have left them in there the last time he read his book, but still nothing. Dan then thought he had figured it out, he thought to himself I must have left them in kitchen from when I was doing homework! So he ran to the kitchen and looked high and low for his glasses.  He searched and searched, but found nothing. Finally Randy, Dan's brother that had been waiting outside, grew impatient and ran into the house to help Dan. When Randy found Dan searching him to stop. Dan confused by this asked why, but Randy just shook his head in disappointment and said, "Because Dan they're on your head."
