THE ABANDONED CITY

I got out of my pūngene (sleeping bag). I got out of my tent not knowing the time, so I looked at the sky to try and find out the time,  but the sky is covered in grey and black cloud. I had no idea where I was, which was weird because I swear I put my tent in a different place. I was in the middle of the dark Jungle exploring to see what I could find and there was no one around that I could see so I yell out Hello! No one answers. 

The air smells like old Wet towels.  I walk forward and see a humongous tree so I decide to climb it to try to see where I am. So I start to climb. When I am halfway up my shoulders start to get sore from all the climbing so I stop and take a break. I look out and see if I can see anything and when I look out I see a city but the whole city has been burnt down.

I go to the next door and before I open it I sniff,. All I can smell is a dead smell. Then I look at my hands, they are covered in ash and an orange rusty colour. I look at the burnt  door then dare myself to open it.  

Behind me I see something  move. Then I go as quiet as a mouse.. I see a shadow, so I quickly run  Into the room. Then I see to kurauri(dark red) eyes.  I turn around as quickly as I can and try to leave but the door is stuck. Then I Start to  matihe(sneeze) Ocho, ocho, ocho, ocho. The sun Shines through a hole in the wall and there is a Giant panda with teeth. as sharp as a Lions and claws bigger than hands. I can't see anything. I'm matihe(sneezing) too much. Then the Giant Panda bit  Off my leg!! then I saw a bright light and …
