• Dear Diary,
    I had a pretty odd day today. It started out normal with my mom waking me up so I could go swimming out on the lake in the early morning air. I got into my swimsuit, the pretty red bikini, and fetched my towel. I was about the put on my flip-flops and I noticed some kind of bug in one of them. I picked it up and noticed it wasn't a bug! It was Collin, that really annoying kid that I'm always complaining about. I couldn't help but grin evilly because I knew I had him in my clutches and could do anything I wanted to him.
    Because I'm best friends with his sister, I know everything that bothers him. So naturally, I was going to use all of it against him and torture him until he cried. So, I put him in my jewelry box and went to go swimming. I didn't want to prolong the enjoyment of tormenting him but he was extremely claustrophobic so I knew it would bother him to be in my jewlery box for a few hours.
    When I got back from swimming, I went straight to my bedroom. I dug my box out from under my bed. It was a simple jewelry box. About six inches width and length and 3 inches deep. It was made out of mahogany. I heard a faint pounding coming from within. I opened it to reveal Collin pounding on the walls. He was only an inch tall and so there was still two inches to stop him from escaping.
    He looked up terrified when he saw my face peering inside. I thought back to my conversations with Maggie, his sister, to think of his other phobias. The only one that popped out at me was a phobia of human feet. I grinned as I pulled him out of the box by the back of his shirt. I could think of some pretty interesting things having to do with feet.
    I set him on my desk, inside of a tall glass. I grinned and left the room to find duct tape. I went into the kitchen searching for it. I asked Mom but she didn't know where it was. I went into the garage and found Dad and he gave it to me. I ran back to my room.
    I peeled the duct tape back a little bit so I could easily tape something down. I put my foot up on the desk and grabbed Collin. As I did this, he started screaming. I laid him on my foot and wrapped the duct tape around my foot. I then went to my bed and started to write this entry. Now I'm sitting here wondering what I'm going to do with him now. That's for another entry. I guess I better take him off my foot now.
