“Is something wrong with the beast?” my little brother Grantham asks.
“No” I reply, “that is just what all the beasts look like.”
“Really?” he responds, trying to not look straight at it.

My dad was out with us a few minutes ago, but then he got a work call so he went inside and is now watching us through the window. “Emma, look! That bush is shaking!” Grantham says while he jumps and points all while sitting
