December 5, 2024.
Dear Diary,
Today, I read again The Family Under the Bridge. It’s a really sad story
about a man named Armand who lives under a bridge in paris. He lives
alone there but one day a family of three, Paul, Evelyn and their
mother started to live there because they don’t have money. At the
end he realized how lonely he was without them.

I was happy to see how Armand change when he met the family and
how he became part of their family, like a grandfather but nervous
because they didn’t have anything to eat. I learn that people who live
in streets needs to be respect and help.

I think I want to be more helpful to the homeless, I don’t know what to

do but I want to do something.
Until Tomorrow,
Tiago.

grandmother waned me about them and how they look. She was right,
they were bald, had clawed hands and lack toes. They didn’t look like
humans, I almost cried but I didn’t want them to know I was scared.

23D. A day in the life of a witch.

Dear diary,
Today was a normal day in my witch life. I wake up at night because
witches sleep a little, humans brush them teethes but witches sharpen
It, later I clean my bedroom because witches hate rubbish. Then I
started to write my next book “how to cook kids properly”, It’s an
interesting book that every witch need, but to cook kids you need to
capture one so the firsts pages are about hunting children which are
abhorrent but we need them to eat.
