Lights Out

The dark had covered the town like a black blanket. My sister, our friends, and I, were watching a movie in the basement. We had no idea what was about to happen. We were in the middle of a hilarious movie, and laughing and having a great time. The parents were upstairs chatting while they here laughter from the basement.

Our, I walk upstairs for a minute to grab something from upstairs. When I got there I spent some time to find my phone so I could find out what a character’s name in the movie was. While I was looking the lights go out in my room. I hear some screams from down stairs and I look out my window, and the lights from the houses around me were all going out. Power outage.

I run downstairs with a flash light I found on my desk in hand. My mom had found a flashlight too. It was fine on the main floor, but when I got to the basement, every one that was watching the movie was screaming, and tripping over their own feet. I aim the flashing at each one of them. With the light the screaming stopped and I told them it wasn’t just our house.

After we all calmed down we got extra lights and lit up the basement. We built a fort and continued the movie on my sister’s IPad.  We were laughing and saying how each one of us got stepped on or bruised something. The lights came on soon after, but we having so much fun I turned the lights off right away.

Champion

This book has action and adventure. Once I started reading this book I couldn’t stop. I was sucked into the book, and it felt like I was an extra character in the book. Champion is about the same characters that are in Legend and Prodigy (Day and June). They had just stopped and attach and this book is the aftermath, but with new adventures. This is a great book if you like action/science fiction/adventure. This was fun to read, the description was great in the book. Throughout the book I felt like I was in it as an extra characters watching from the shadows. I enjoyed this book, and I highly suggest it.

Rain

It was the night of the full moon, and I had just walked out of the place I was staying in Turks and Caicos. My cousins (Kaya and Siena) were wearing white close and so was my family. Our parent chatted while the kids walked down to the beach. We were having a full moon party and that’s why we were in whit close.

Once everyone was at the beach we went on a walk on the beachside. The moon lit up the sand and water as if it was daytime. My cousins, sister, and I jumped around on the beach. After about fifteen minutes of walking on the beach, we could see rain cloud rolling in. We kept walking.

The palm trees were blowing because of the breeze, but it felt kind of nice. The clouds got closer, and we could all tell that it was about to rain. I turn around and start walking back, and so does the rest of my family. A few rain drops start falling, so the parents walk faster, but I almost wanted it to start raining harder. And it did.

The parents start running the opposite way than the kids with all of the things we didn’t want to get wet, but my cousins, sister, and I all run into the rain. The rain made the sand feel like silk every step I took. Our faces were dripping water, and our close stuck to our bodies.

 It kept raining for a few more minutes, then we walk to the house for dinner. We all talked about how the rain felt, and what we did in it. We couldn’t stop thinking about the rain, and we were still soaking wet.

Racing an Airplane

It was a hot day on Little Cayman, and my dad had just rented a scooter. He said I could drive it around the island. Going around Little Cayman would probably take about twenty minutes. He showed me how to go fast and slow and where the brake was. It seemed easy so I hop on and my dad rides on one behind me.

I rev the engine, and then drive off. The wind was blowing my hair, and the scooter was kicking up small pebbles behind me. I felt like I was going fast, but I was going the speed limit. We didn’t see any cars so my dad tells me to speed up. I slowly accelerate, then I se an airplane about to take off.

The pilot had just straitened out to take off. I slow down and come to a stop and look and the pilot. He smiles and me and tips is cap. I smile back, and notice his and raze. He starts counting down from five. He wanted to race me! His propellers speed up, and I rev the engine. 5,4,3,2,1!

His plane moves forward, as I speed off. I could feel some of the wind from the propellers. After all, the runway was next to the road. I go faster and so does the airplane. I look at it as it starts lifting off the ground. The pilot smiles at me again right before he picks up more speed and flies away.

I forgot my dad was behind me, so I slow down and look at my dad who was now beside my. I had a huge grin on my face. I had just raced an airplane! We continue the ride, and the whole time I was thinking I raced and airplane.

The A.T.V

We were at my aunt’s ranch in the summer. It was the second day there, and I had just woke up. I was still trying to wake myself up. I was the first one awake, but I few minute later my mom and sister are in the kitchen next to me. After we ate breakfast we started walking half a mile to where my aunt’s cabin was.

It was around 9:30 when we left the cabin so the sun was already out and I didn’t need a coat. The dogs were jumping around and checking out the horses. We were about half way to the cabin and my aunt, uncle, and cousin meet us. They had just been hanging around the horses, and they saw us and our dogs. We chat and explore on our way to the cabin.

When we arrived at the cabin I saw something behind the cabin. My cousin (forest) drives out on an A.T.V. He stops next to my sister and I, then points at me and says “take it for a spin.” An ear to ear grin runs across my face and I hop onto the vehicle after he hops off. He shows my how the go backwards and forwards. I slowly accelerate then get faster and faster.

I go about 20 yards then Forest says to back up. I do what he says and back up towards the cabin. Then he tells me to go back to our cabin, then drive back. I start off and accelerate faster this time. The air cooled me down as I drove to the cabin. I sped up as I went up the hill, and my cabin comes into view. I go around the back of the cabin while kick up mud and sticks.

On my way back my legs were dirty and I had windblown hair. I went faster and the horses seemed to be racing next to me. A trail of dust was following me, and I was having an amazing time. I thought in my head as the cabin came into view “I wish I owned on of these”.

Fireworks

The sun had just gone down at my uncle’s house in the mountains. It was the fourth of July. My dad and I had brought a plastic bag full of fireworks, and my uncle took a trash bag out of his garage. I looked inside, and it was three quarters full of both illegal and legal explosives. We walked down there dirt road to where there was a wide area with no trees or bushes, just a wide section of a road.  

I take the fireworks out of my bag, and my dad helps my uncle do the same. I had brought: twelve roman candles, six sky rockets, one hundred bottle rockets, and a huge brick of firecrackers. All of my fireworks were from Wyoming.  My uncle had fountains, sky rockets, a mortar, and more. After we showcased our explosives, we set up and I ran to the house to get the fire extinguisher just in case something went wrong.

When I get back to the area my everyone was there, my aunt, my cousins, my sister, my mom, my dad, and my uncle. I was going to light the first firework. I chose my roman candle. It shoots multicolored fireballs that fit in a plastic tube. I hold it in my hand, light it, and aim it at the sky. Boom, Whoosh, Crack, Bang. The fireballs fly out of the tube like rockets, and explode high in the air.

After that the firework show for the family began. We light off skyrockets, more roman candles, firecrackers, and more. Some of them went off at the same time. Everyone was sitting on rocks, or blowing something up. The whole night I had fun, the sky was lighting up with many different colors, from our family, and others close by.

Painful

The sun was out, and my sister and I were on the trampoline. We hadn’t been on the trampoline in a while because of the snow, after all it was early spring. I had just taught myself how to backflip but I wanted to do it without bouncing. Before I tried my sister and I were just bouncing as planes flew overhead and clouds passed.  

She was trying to teach me some things she learned in her gymnastics class, but I couldn’t do everything. However, she did teach me how to back handspring. I did a few backflips, but I was ready to try a standing one. I bend my knees, lean back, then throw my head backwards.

I soon as my feet left the ground I knew I did it wrong. As I was upside down I landed on my head. My body bends in a very uncomfortable way, and my legs slam down on the trampoline. My neck had cracked but didn’t break (I was sure), and because of the way my body bent I felt like I was hit by a truck.

My sister helped me inside while I could feel my heartbeat in my head.  Rite when I got in my mom gets my some ice. I lay down on the couch in pure agony, and put the ice on my neck. I turn on the T.V., and sigh because of relief and pain. It was a very painful moment, but I was glad it was over.
