A Place of My Own


By Joshua Ray Brown



I’ve decided to have a place of my own. First, no one knows I go down there but I keep it my secret. I use the basement for a place of my own. I think it is very warm down there.

Next the walls in it are red. It is as big as my living room. It is a little stuffed down there. I play with my friends down there. After that we will watch tv. If I am in trouble I hide behind the tv or the couch. The only person that knows about it is my older brother. I told him not to tell anyone.

One time I slept down stairs. In the morning my mom was looking for me. I snuck upstairs so my mom could find me. She asked me where I was. I said I was sleeping under my bed. My brother knew where I was I just didn’t want to tell my mom.

One night my mom went to the basement when I was watching tv. My mom asked me what I was doing down here. I said “This is a place of my own.” My mom said is this where you’re at all the time? I said yes but you cannot tell anyone. She said okay I promise.

A year later I invited my whole family down there to have a party. They had a lot of fun. Since they found out it wasn’t a secret. So that is the end. P.S. Don’t tell your secret!
