Lynn's Horrific Experience

A noise startled her, and thinking of cats, she didn't bother to look; it turned into a groan, a scratching noise, a squirrel loud munching. She ran to the kitchen and jumped on a high chair holding a book... " What could that thing be? " It emitted groans and had a bad smell. Lynn panicked, she had left the cell phone on the folding chair outside, and fearing the worst, she positioned herself in a slightly curved-up pose with her head drooping while she tried to spot the unwelcoming intruder; soon her fright would become horrific, spotting a slowly-moving raccoon. The ugly creature looked up and saw nothing moving, then trudging on his four legs, he climbed up to the table and started eating apples. Lynn's horrific experience taught her to stay very calm and breathe; waiting and not giving into fear, she felt relieved when he raccoon left.
