I was searching for shelter. Couldn’t find any. Make own shelter. But how? I put rock on top of rock, but they kept falling. Grab vines, tied rocks together. Soon I built a shelter. Tried to hunt in new area. Animals too fast. Made a sharp stick. Threw it at animals. Also accidentally hit rock with stick, made fire. Now I’m warm. Used vines to tie stick to house, now have top to keep out rain. Getting cold because winter starting. Found sharp rock, took animal fur off and used for warmth. Now I am happy and no longer hungry.

The Witch Doctors
My sister and I were both trained witch doctors. We got our training from our mother. Our powers weren’t real, but our mother taught us that if people believed our powers were real, people would heal themselves. Yes, we made a profit but we were also helping people. I was walking down the street to the witchcraft supply store when I tripped and broke my leg. “Help, can someone call me an ambulance,” I shouted. “I know you, I’ll call your sister,” someone said. My sister came, but her spells couldn’t heal my leg because I knew they were fake.

My horror love story
_Blinded by Love_ Aurora thought she had found her perfect match in Ethan, a charming and attentive partner who swept her off her feet. Her friends and family, however, were skeptical, warning her that he was "too good to be true." But Aurora was blinded by love and ignored their concerns. She was convinced that Ethan was the one, and she couldn't imagine living without him.

Lol, I agree with Lamar. That was my favorite part too!
I enjoyed this, especially the part about how he accidentally made fire. 💖
You have cut to the chase and told a survival story that sounds realistic and appealing. Good job!
