The mystery zoo

Here is my new story. Hope you like it.



(I can’t believe I said yes! It was two weeks ago when I was looking for a job, and for the most part of the looking, I found nothing. I wanted to be done with this “finding a job business” and go be with my friends. But no, I had to go find one. And when my mom said, “Lily, don’t worry about it. If you don’t find one then you can work with your dad.” So that gave me some hope. And when I found it, I took it without hesitation. It wasn’t until I really looked at where I was working that I thought that maybe this wasn’t my kind of job, because I’m working at a zoo. And I don’t even like animals that much. I never even had a pet when I was growing up. So here I am, working at a job I think is not that exciting and I have to do most of the work. The other person who works here has a serious problem, his name is Jason and he is my boss’s son. He said he can’t work to hard or he will pull something, he sometimes makes up the most horrible stories. Like when we had to feed the tigers, he said he can’t feed them because he’s allergic and if they bite him he might die. So I had the most horrible job ever, but the bright side is that if Jared didn’t do his work I was paid double. Sometimes triple if he didn’t do his whole day job, that was on special occasions. But the funny thing is, that Jared had the night job and he seemed to take it easily when the opportunity presented itself. But when I said I would do it, the boss just gave it to Jared. That was the weird part of the job. So I guess I could live with it. It soon became summer and I eagerly took the summer job at the zoo. The reason I took it was to get some money for the trip me and my friends were taking to go to Hawaii. So we each got to pay a fourth of the trips fund. And I got a perfect job for my part. Well, I went in for the first week of the long
summer. Everything seemed as usual at this place, I knew it all too well. I also knew all the animals that lived there; I even counted all of them one time. There were, 8 Alligators, 6 Lions, 5 Zebras, 7 Cougars, 10 Monkeys, 9 Wolves, and 2 Snakes. Four of the animals acted really strange, they didn’t act like normal animals, they kind of acted like humans. It was two wolves and the Snakes. One wolf’s name was Brian and he had black fur and sapphire eyes, sometimes when I worked in the cages he would stair at me until I left. It looked like he was trying to make conversation when he would stair. The other wolf’s name was Ian; he had weird colored fur that made me wonder and started looking up the color. Ian was different from Brian, when he would see me enter the room he would get up and run to me. Well, it was more like running into me, he was a little bit bigger than me and he would sometimes knock me down. He would yelp and bark at me like I was his best friend and it would seem like he was holding everything in and when I came he would tell me everything that he was holding in, he also would bark at me when I would miss a spot. I liked being with him, when he was done barking and yelping I would talk to him about my life. When I talked it was a lot shorter than when he barked. But when I went to take care of the only two snakes that we had, I was not a happy camper. The snake’s names were Noah and Michael. Noah was a black viper and Michael was a king cobra, both of them were de-poisoned before they came to the zoo here. When they would bite me it hurt, but you don’t die in a few minutes. For a while they would bite me but when I was here for a few weeks, they got used to me. Both of them would stare at me like I was a alien from outer space and they were the humans. They looked curious as I cleaned their cages and swept the floor. I didn’t care much about the weird animals but I sometimes wondered if there was something the boss wasn’t telling me. Well, as long as I had a good job that paid, I was good.)
