The place is a mess, but I like it that way. I spend all my time there when I’m at home. After being shocked by the mess, the first thing you’ll see is my old brown desk. A broken computer sits on it, next to a bunch of piled up dusty comics and video game magazines. Next to the desk is my bunk bed. It has a bunch of clothes piled on the bottom bunk and and the top bunk has bright red sheets and a raggedy old blanket. At the end of the bed is a little table with an aquarium on it. There are eight colorful fish in it. The walls are covered with monster posters, including Dracula, Frankenstein, and Werewolf. I have green plastic fake monsters hanging from ceiling that glow in the dark. Behind the closet door is a huge pile of stinky clothes, broken toys, and sports stuff. You’d better not open the closet door if you don’t want to get crushed with all the junk that will fall out! Adults think my room is a mess, but my friends think it’s cool.
