When I was little, my best friend and I spent all our time at each other's houses. We would normally do stuff like play old Atari video games, create a river in my backyard with a hose, or watch the Aladdin singalong video repeatedly.
After Elizabeth finally hid the video where I couldn't find it and we had found something new and interesting to do one day, our parents decided it was time for her to go home. We had been having so much fun that she didn't want to go. We couldn't stay at my house or she would be dragged away, so one of us came up with the great idea of running away together.
So we started wandering around our vast neighborhood in the fading summer light. Too young to be grossed out by bugs, we ran after fireflies and talked about various things.
Neither of us had any concerns of what our parents would think when they realized we were gone or what would happen to us when we were eventually found. As we were walking down a random street that I liked suddenly this huge guy in a truck came by and stopped to talk to us.
He asked what were doing out alone and when we said we were running away, he said he had a present for us. He handed us something in a McDonald's bag and drove off.
Inside the bag, there was a turtle.
Now that I look back on it, I wonder what the guy was doing driving around with a bag o' turtle. The only other time I've seen a person driving around with a random animal they wanted to get rid of, my brother had our cat in the trunk and was taking it so far away it would never find its way back.
But I have a feeling that even if it wanted to, a turtle couldn't make it very far. Maybe some random person with a turtle phobia called animal control to come get it before it ate them. I have no idea.
Anyways, the night ended with me getting away unpunished even though the police and all our neighbors had been searching for us. Elizabeth got grounded for two weeks at six years old.

This actually started out fairly well but then it went nowhere, abruptly.
What happened to the turtle?
