Skellig

Skellig
A diary entry by Marina Taquini

March 2^nd,

          What’s going on? It is my recurring question as the days pass. My life has changed completely from one day to  the other. My fears are growing so quickly. Here is not the best place. I know it is not the place I imagined, I’m not comfortable here. I think I am going to lose all, Skellig, my baby sister…

           The day I entered the garage I knew that the only way was to help Skellig or escape. When I met Skellig I didn´t know who or what  it was: a man, a bird or an angel but I decided to help him anyway.

                     On the one hand, I was scared because Skellig could hurt me and on the other hand I could put myself on Skellig shoes and I imagined myself in a garage, amid all the boxes, spiders. Awful! In that place I would like someone to help me. With all my scary feelings, I decided to help it anyway.

                The days passed and I feel more closed to Skellig, I think he is part of my life, my family.

                  I also met Mina, Mina is very enthusiastic and I think she will help me. Today we went to help Skellig and she thought of moving it to the attic, we will do that because she knows a lot about animals, specially birds, but she doesn´t go to school, she learns alone in her house, her mother teaches her.

I am nervous because of tomorrow.
