Writing challenge # 1

One evening, My best friend Charlotte and I went down by the Guthrie Theatre. It was a spring night and there were tons of people out and about. We parked by MTN and then walked accross the Stone Arch Bridge. We had met up with some other friends along the way and took our time walking accross the river. When we got to the other side, we were debating what we were going to do. As we made some potential plans, we saw a group of people congregating around a fence. We decided to go check out what they were all watching. As we walked over, the amount of people around the fence grew. When we got there, we discovered that there was a beaver that could not get back into the fence to get back by the river. Noone was helping the ebaver, they were only making it more difficult. People were chasing it and taking pictures. We hung out in the back and watched as people started to lose interest and continue on with their walks. Soon, we were the only people by the beaver and decided we needed to do something to help it. When we tried to go near it, it would waddle the other way. We then realized that it was injured ( people later told us it had been hit by a car). We called animal control but they were closed. We realized there was nothing we could do for this beaver so we walked towards the guthrie. On our way back to the car, the beaver was gone. Later that evening, we were driving down Chicago Avenue and came accross some more wild life. On 46th street and Chicago, we saw a deer walking down the side walk. At first we thought it was a dog, but as we got closer, we realized it was a deer. This time, we called 311, but they were closed for the evening. We continued on with our evening but kept thinking about all of the wild life we had seen in the city. It was sad, but also kind of exciting. Later that night, I got a text from Char saying " That was some adventure, huh?" and it sure was.
