Beanie-Personal Narrative

“ I love you Beanie!” I screeched out loud. Bean was my dog. I was hugging Bean so tight, it was like a small chokehold. Actually, I thought, it was more like a python, wrapping its slithery, scaly tail around its prey. “Be gentle, Riles.” My dad told me. I looked up, smiled, and nodded. “Okay!” I said joyfully. I let go of the hug, and watched Bean run across the backyard. I smiled and giggled. But, my smile faded, and I started staring at the ground.
