Canoe 26RD1217

I look up to a little girl with bright blue eyes glueing me into this tiny carefully painted canoe Perfect she says while breathing out Your name isJourney She carefully sets me down on her shelf next to a small doll with a pink dress. Good night Journey she said as she climbed into bed. The next morning she brought me down to the river. So Journey this is called the Red River you will float away to Lake Winnipeg then the Nelson River then Hudson Bay then finally to the Atlantic Ocean she said as she plopped me down into the murky water. Wow a long journey I thought that's probably why I'm called Journey The sky slowly went from light blue to fire orange then to dark black with white dots that made the water sparkle like twinkling lights. The water was cold but my canoe kept me safe. Weeks later I was definitely not in the Red River this was way bigger maybe Lake Winnipeg I heard a loud crashing noise a waterfall I was floating closer to it faster faster. Down I went falling straight into the water I landed upside down. Just then I noticed how cold the water was it must be almost winter. I floated upside down for days then I froze into the water all winter I saw so many animals fish deer birds bears and LOTS of humans. Some even picked me up but threw me back into the water. I met a bear now I have bite marks all over me but we don't talk about that. I think my journey is almost done
