In a voice that only little sisters can make, Sonnie screeched, "Finn is trying to run away again!"
In one respect she was right, but in an other she could've been more wrong, "No, I'm trying to escape!" I screamed, "Don't you see it?!"
Sonnie ran, chasing me as fast as her 3 year legs could carry her. Her chase ended abruptly when my 4 year old body tackled her to her to the ground.
"It almost got you, watch out!" I said, though it was muffled by the thick fabric of the carpet. We wrestled and faught as siblings would do.
My imagination had blended into reality. Dragons patrolled the skies while lions and bears roamed the land. My sister and I desperately tried to save our castle in downtown Mayberry, Virginia.
I hold those memories dear now that I have a family of my own. My castle is now our castle and the dragons and lions and bears are the dangers that my children face today in our scary world. I hope I can protect them like I did with my sister.
Very descriptive and nice vocab usage. I don't think this is a real story (unless you live a secret life in Mayberry, VA) so there are good details for a made up story.
ReplyDeleteVery very very good word choice. The adjectives you put in front of words made the story 10 times better! Also, this story is super creative, I would have never thought of anything like this.
ReplyDeleteI liked your approach into the main characters imagination. At first I thought they were actually in danger. Very clever and very descriptive word choice.
ReplyDeleteThis was a very powerful blog. I loved how it had such good detail. Also it was a great idea to relate your childhood to your future life.
