The coming storm | Writing

The lone figure trudged along the road. So the man went through it and and something mysterious happened. 

The sun was warm, and the figure felt the comforting warmth of the sun’s rays as they shone down from a cobalt sky. It looked like a pleasant scene was above to change drastically as the clouds gathered menacially above the distant peaks of the mountain range.

To be caught in the chaos and carnage of a might storm is not a pleasant experience. The lone figure’s trudged become a run, if he didn’t find sanctuary soon who knew what might happen.

Narrative|The Magical Ride

Round , and round , faster and faster they spun until it felt like they would soar off into the sky, at any moment, sooner or later.

The park around her became a blur of green, a smudge of green paint covering Daisy’s eyes. She gripped tightly onto the bars of the seats with every muscle in her body she could use, gritting her teeth together as she was concentrated on retaining her balance. 

Little did Daisy know that this ride was unlike any other ride around the playground. When the ride reached maximum speed, something magical happens. She ended up in a colossal looking factory, filled up with an abundance of people who worked there. She was lucky enough that she was allowed to taste the most latest and appetizing chocolate out their in the world. 

Daisy got exhausted eating an entire huge chocolate so she surely knew she had too much to eat so she decided to walk up the stairs looking for a room to sleep in. While she was sleeping she instantly started spin over and over again she eventually back at the playground. She took a little peek and went back to sleep.

Thereafter she ended up in her bedroom with her stunning looking stuffed toy that goes by the name Holly. So she woke up cheerfully started jumping up and down on her bed, racing to tell her parents the good news she recently had. She told her parents with a huge smile on her face.
