Not My Homework-Contest

Last night; had to study for trig homework, I was so tired, but I had to stay awake. Too many problems that I went berserk; Took my time; I could not make a mistake. When I finished, I started seeing stuff, A Pterodactyl was staring me down. Began to shake in my bones; I wasn’t tough, House was so quiet no one was around. I thought to self “He’s going to eat me!” I had to think fast, too young to get ate. To my surprise, homework was ate with glee, But I was mad; I stayed up way too late. Was I dreaming, or was it a real smirk? Who knows, but he was an absolute jerk. Inspired by the “And Then a Flaming Pterodactyl Ate My Homework.” Contest 02/02/2021

Great entry for contest. I am very uncomfortable with numbers. When I read trig I assumed trigonometry and it made me smile. I too would be mad if my math homework was gone. Have a wonderful weekend Alexis. Take care Rama

It was a dream I am sure, Alexis--they do play tricks on our psyche.
