5th Graders Are Taking Their Shot!

Once there was a girl that loved her bike. She had a pink bike with pink bubbles that came out from the handle. She loved going on bike rides at the park and around the town. But one day her bike broke and the bubble dispenser was empty and there were no more bubbles in the house. She was so mad that the girl got her mom fired from her job at Dunkin Donuts. But her mom made the girl happy by getting the job back and buying her daughter more pink bubbles.

It all happened one foggy black night. He was walking on the street talking to his mom on the phone. Then... he saw a light coming at him. The light blinded him. As he was laying on the cold road, his mom spoke again. “Do you need me to come and get you?” He got up and said, “Yes, mom. Please come and get me, Mom?” “Yes, sweetie, where are you?” “Mom, I don't know.” “What happened to you? Why do you sound hurt?” “I got hit! It all happened fast.” I heard thunder; I woke up from my nightmare.

Somebody was running after him with white eyes. He was chasing him. He didn't know that the sword was coming for his throat because he was turned around and then the light blinded him!!!! The light off the sword was so bright it was like a thousand suns shining at him. The guy with the white eyes came at him then he pulled out his sword and then they had a sword battle. Sparks were flying everywhere!! When they got to a cliff he pushed the White eye guy off the cliff and looked down and he said “Bye.” Ugh.

Click. The light appeared on me. The show had started. A person screamed in the crowd,“Go Brandon.” I was playing Peter Pan. The light shone so bright I almost forgot my part because my eyes started to hurt. Someone in the crowd whispered, ¨It looks like the light blinded him.¨ I went on with my act, but then more light shone on me, and I started to get dizzy. Then splat! I saw darkness. The show stopped. And everybody went silent. Next thing I knew, I was in the nurse's office with an ice pack on my head.

We were reading articles for school. I chose one about how a man blinded himself. It was kinda exciting. After we read the articles we had to present what we learned. It was my turn to perform. Here goes nothing. “Bill was walking up the steps because it was his turn to perform for the talent show. He was going to sing the the National Anthem. The music begin. The lights turned on. The light was so bright that it blinded him. Yes that's right the light blinded him. That it the story of how Bill Smith went blind.”

Rolan looked up at the Sun. The light blinded him for a few moments. He couldn’t remember the last time he had ever seen the Sun, for he had been in hiding for the past 9 years. “Rolan,” Celeste gasped in awe. “I can't believe we’re finally, after all these years, seeing the Sun again.” “Heh, yeah.” Her brother replied. “It’s even more beautiful than I remember it.” “W-what do we do now?” asked Celeste. “Well,” he said. “ What if we go into the town down there?” “B-but what if they’re there?” “Welp. We’ll just have to find out, then.”

9:00 am, sky black as can be.Lightning flashing as bright as someone turning on a flashlight right in front of your eyes. Thunder crackling very loud. The lightning was so bright when my brother woke up, he said,“turn off the lights,” in a cranky voice. “That is the lightning,” I said sounding awake as can be. My brother got up to go shut the blinds, As he was about to shut them I heard him scream, “I can’t see!” “Did the light blind him,”I thought? “Hope not.”I thought.
