Creative writing

I’ve been living in Botswana my whole life. I got attached to this beautiful place and to the animals living here. I love to see animals in the wild and let them be free. I live in a small house made out of wood. It has to be elevated by four huge tree trunks because of the rhino’s roaming in the wild at night. I can hear them fighting and eating right under my house while I’m getting ready to go to bed. This house has been passed down for many years. It was originally my great grandfather’s, and it has been passed down for a long time.

In the summer, it is really warm and dry. I can wear shorts all year round. It gets colder in the night time tho. I like to go out at night and feel the fresh breeze on my skin. It feels good after a whole day spent in the sun. On September 13th, it is one of my family tradition to gather around a barbecue to celebrate Botswana day. We usually grill small insects including ants, grasshoppers etc...
I really love this place and I can't imagine moving to another place after all I have experienced over here. I was born in Botswana and I want to spend my whole life here, close to animals.
