Dear Journal,
Hello, my name is Torence the tortoise. One day I was minding my own business eating some tasty fruit. All of a sudden these white men come up to Me, Brenna, Nadine, Ansleigh, and Larry. I was so scared! I didn’t know what was going to happen! The men took us on this ship, I was freaking out. These freaky people put me in this boiling hot pot of water. The water kept getting hotter and hotter. Then I started to feel sick. I was truly frightened of what was happening next. Then I felt as my insides where cooking, and they where! I didn’t know what happened to the others. OH MY LANTA!! BRENNA! She was dead, she was my best friend. I felt so horrible hoping the others didn’t have to go through this. Finally, my life of being a tortoise, I went to tortoise heaven.
