Hakka’s Journey Continues

Sara Shamim

The bells quietly chimed, enveloped by the environment around them. A vast forest surrounded the island, the heap of trees, swaying side to side, welcomed by the wind. Hakka placed her footing carefully while making her way through the never-ending mystery of greenery.Hakka has an infinite supply of curiosity. She always has something to explore. She doesn’t have much care or self-awareness. Like a monkey, she only does fun stuff; when it comes to chores such as cleaning up, she would rather just suck on a lollipop and sit on the couch watching Cocomelon without a care in the world.Hakka carries around a toy rat named Sadika. When her nappy is almost full but she really needs to pee, she rips it off and pees everywhere and makes her servant clean it up. Her superpower is making a clean house messy. It’s also one of her hobbies. Her curly locks and big, adorable big eyes always cry for lollipops which, in the end, she eventually gets.It was time Hakka continued her journey of curiosity. Rampaging through the jungle, she began to observe her surroundings.A giant herd of ants spread vulnerably across the ground. Hakka knew exactly how to approach them…Hakka felt invincible. She haughtily stomped on the squad of tiny monsters under her feet. The ants pleaded for mercy, but she didn’t stop, not even for a second. She grinned menacingly.Suddenly, an enormous shadow darkened her view. It breathed heavily behind the little girl. Her heart skipped a beat. She tilted her head and glanced behind her, freezing immediately.A destructive dinosaur was right behind her. A cloud of steam appeared with each breath it took. Drool slowly leaked out of its mouth, and a drop fell onto Hakka’s cheek. Her eyes watered as the T-rex tilted its head to look at her.Hakka immediately crouched down, tucking her head into her stomach, and began to make her escape!She rolled down the green hill at supersonic speed. Her face beamed in excitement.Surprisingly, the dinosaur was already at her pace.He opened his wide mouth, ready for a snack.“EEK,” Hakka screeched. Was she done for?No…What the dinosaur didn’t know was that Hakka had a plan B.She pulled her toy rat, Sadika, out of her curly locks and chucked it behind her.The famished dinosaur briefly stopped to stare in confusion at the rat plushie. The giant thought, “What a stupid girl-““BOOM!” The rat plush blew up, and it was quite a gory scene.Hakka was at a loss for words…“Sadika worked better than I imagined,” she squirmed in delight (totally unfazed by what had just happened).She continued her journey to investigate the world, rolling through the plateaus at the crack of dawn.
