My Second Escape

Today as I was working away, I had overheard the farmer telling his wife that as soon as the winter had ended he was calling the police to come and arrest me. I knew I had to escape as soon as possible because the snow was melting and that could only mean one thing...spring. So that night I had planned to leave the barn once they were all asleep, it was a great plan until I had realized that the farmer had locked the barn door. It was all I could do but sit there and cry, I was so mad that I even started to yell at God. I had blamed Him  and I was accusing Him for getting me into this situation and not helping me get out, but then I realized that maybe it wasn't God's fault and maybe this was His way of helping me, maybe He was only showing me my own faults that I tried passing off as everybody else's problem. I had realized that not only had I been relying on God for everything, but I had been so mean to Carlo after he apologized to me. That night I began digging a hole at the back of the barn that would carry me out to freedom, and just as I planned it would, I was able to make it out alive and without the farmer noticing. As I lay there in the snow with my eyes tightly shut, taking in everything, I heard someone coming after me. When I opened my eyes there was King wagging his tail, I had told him to stay, for I didn't want it to seem that I stole him, but if he came after me then that was not stealing!
