Skellig by David Almond
A Diary Entry by Juan L. and Santiago P.
Dear Diary,
This was a very weird month, not like the last ones. It had lots of upside-downs. Luckily everything ended perfectly.
When we moved to Falconer Road
I wanted to kill myself. Everything was broken and couldn´t be fixed because of
the baby. She had lots of problems. She spent all day in the hospital because
of her breathing problems. Her lungs didn´t work at a 100% so we lived in a
dump. The house had an interesting garage, full of trash, but because of
something it attracted me. I wanted to investigate but there was a problem, my
mom. She didn´t let me in, she thought it was dangerous. Something could live in
there, and it did. When she was distracted or out of the house I entered there
and I saw an old man sitting there. I couldn´t believe it. A human being living
there for I don´t know how long.
What could I do? Scared or
nervous I asked him if he wanted help or something but he kicked me out. I
wanted to help him, I gave him food or aspirin but he was afraid. He thought I
would go to the police. I was astonished, lost, I didn´t have a clue of what to
do so I told my new friend Mina. She was smarter than me. She proposed to move
him to another place, better and safer. When we were moving him we noticed
something very weird in his shoulder blades so we took out his jacket and we saw
he had wings! What was he? A man, a bird or an angel? We couldn´t believe it!
Now Mina and I want to keep
visiting him. I wish mom and dad never find out about him. Maybe he can get a
job without revealing his secret and we will become a family living in
different houses, because I feel he is more confident every day. I wish we can
stay together the three of us all our lives. We love him!
Oh! My mom’s calling. I have
to go to “sleep”. I´ll visit Skellig haha. Bye, I’ll tell you the rest tomorrow.
XOXO
Michael
