nana

flickering light.gifAs I walked up the stone path to the steps I touch the handrails… Suddenly I am taken back to when I was a little boy running up the steps to give grandma a great big hug every year at Christmas. I let go of the rail and I can't see grama anymore all I see is an old broken down door with the rest of the house surrounded by Ivy and the only thing still working is the old faint lantern. I reach the top of the steps and sat down… suddenly I was taken back again and entered the door holding nana's hand.

Sand


Under the sea there a lot of sand nearly everything has been found but I decided to look where no one has ever thought deep down at the bottom of the ocean. One day I decided to go down there and got some samples. I didn't personally go down there I sent a robot down there to go and fetch it for me when it came back up with the samples I tested them and it was neo chrome sand it took approximately 9 hours to get back up. And on the way back up the robot found some sort of moving sand and when they tested it turned out to be a new underwater creature.This is one grain of my neo chrome sand and I call my amazing discovery Mathers.

Later on from my research of Mathers, I discovered that Mathers was a relative of mather.
