Destroyed school

One Monday morning It was raining but not like normal rain.When it was 7.13am it looked like night time.But on my way to school the lighting had a lot of anger and it affected our class light’s.They started to glitch .The storm had flooded my house even the neighbours house was flooded to.The lightning bolt struck our class light’s and all I heard was cracking of walls and every thing were destroyed.Room 6,7,and 8 had to run for their lives.Some kids were afraid of what happened.I was scared that it would happen again in the future.I couldn’t find my brother my niece and nephew.I searched for them high and low and then I finally found them.So then we went back home safe and sound.

 

The next morning I felt weird.So I went to have breakfast.I got up from breakfast and i was flipped upside down.I tried not to scream because my mum was sleeping,I nearly let out a peep.After I looked at the wall,there was a calendar it said 2050 but I was still the same age. I’ve been 10 for the past 28 years.I think i might be IMMORTAL!
