Charlotte's Moment In Time (a self set task following work on this genre in class)

While I am staring over the white- painted fence I start to notice a dog that looks like it is disguised as a tiger!
The bright yellow sun made it hard to see the half tiger but I am managing to see vibrant orange and black stripes on the dog’s tail, its tongue is sticking out! I am grabbing my camera out of my pocket and taking the best photo I can of this weird dog. (Well not much of a dog at all!). Just now my friend is walking up to me and saying “What on earth are you staring at?” she is asking. “That dog” I am answering. “It’s just like a tiger, I can smell its smelly doggy breath (Or shall I say tiger breath?) “So can I” I am answering. “It is now attacking us…” my friend is making up. I can hear it breathing hard as it is panting uncontrollably… it is scary! I can feel fear goose-bumps running down my arms. Now I am running into my house in fear.
 Thanks for reading my moment in time work.
