Lucy usually took the bus to work, but this time she decided to walk. On the way, she took an old road she had not taken for over six years. It was deserted and dusty, but she didn’t care. A few minutes later, she was looking at the old houses when she heard a weird noise. When she turned around, she saw a huge dog ready to attack. Lucy felt so scared that she was paralyzed when the dog barked for the first time. She finally ran, but the dog reached her and made her fall down. Lucy was terrified, and when she screamed the dog looked at her, and then walked away. That day, after getting to work, Lucy knew she would never take that old road again in her life.
