An Excerpt from a Writing Project

From The Crazy Chicken Escapade

It was now time for David, Andrew, and Levi to come up with an idea on how to spend the lovely afternoon. The creatures were depending on these three intelligent fourteen-year-old boys to come up with something fun and unique to do.

And then, a few minutes later….

“I have an idea!” Levi remarked.
“What is it?” David asked.
“Let’s have a race!”

They all agreed. Sporto, Cosmo, Jack McFrost, Jefferson, David, Andrew, and Levi were all behind the white line. Everyone, especially the three boys, were beyond anxious to start this race. They are all athletically inclined, so they were pretty sure that sprinting would be so hard for them. David could start feeling sweat pouring down his face; that was how excited he was.

“On your mark….” Marty announced.

A few moments later.

“Get set….”

A few more moments later.

“GO!”

Everyone ran at least a fourth of a mile. Sporto, David, Andrew, and Levi were running as quickly as they could. Jack McFrost sashed toward the finish line. Jefferson and Cosmo rode on a green toboggan that came out of nowhere. When there was a dead end, the race concluded. Sporto won the race, and he did not look exhausted after the run. However, everyone was gasping for air, even though two of them did not actually run.

“It’s….so….hot,” Andrew said while trying to catch his breath.

“Water. Water. Must drink water,” David quietly remarked.

Levi actually said nothing. He only stared at a lake where we could swim.

“Let’s swim in that lake,” Levi suggested.
“We shouldn’t,” Marty said. “Because we all have heard of a legend about this lake.”
“Tell us about this lake!” Andrew exclaimed childishly.

Okay.

Once upon a time, there was a man who lived here. One day, he went fishing and thought that he had caught a fish, but apparently he did not. He caught a nasty piece of goop. The goop planned to eat up all of the man’s pizza, and then, it would turn into a sinister witch. The witch was never defeated by the man when he saw it, but it turned back into goop and lived happily under the water again. The end.
