The Bloody Sock


One day I went out into my prison (back yard) and there were pieces of very tiny glass. And I was not wearing shoes because I did not know there was anything there. So, when I was playing handball I stepped on some glass and Ripley needs to be quiet because she is interrupting my thoughts. And now, my sock is all covered in big blobs of blood because we used it to wipe up the blood on my foot.

In Australia, there is a thing called the Birdman Rally. It is when people build crafts for themselves for them to fly on. Some people are actually trying to win, others are just trying to show off. Like a lot of people just run and jump. To make sure it is safe, they jump off a really big platform into a giant river called the Yarra River. The only girl got 15 meters and she only used helium filled balloons. (I'm letting you figure out what 15 meters is in feet.)
