It was morning and a large cardboard box had been delivered to our apartment. The box was flat and as large as our bookshelf. It was also surprisingly light as I helped prop up the box so it was leaning against the balcony window. My dad peeled open the flat side of the box to reveal a variety of children’s’ toys inside. My parents commented that it was a shame that my brother’s family had already flown back to the States.

I was sitting in the living room when I heard my alarm that I had set on my phone go off. My uncle woke up and asked “whose music is that?” as I quickly walked into my room to turn it off. My aunt and uncle were using my bedroom for a nap and it was 1:30 in the afternoon.
