Student Writing

It all started when the sky turned to fire and my nose fell off.

The old prophecy told me that when the sky turns red and a limb falls off, you

become an adult. That limb grows bak in a few seconds.

I was exited for this day, and when the sky turned the color of a brilliant red, I

was joyful. My mother was worried though. She didn't seem to like the

green streaks in the red sky.

Then the sky seemed to swallow me whole, and I felt a tugging sensation at

my nose. Then my nose went numb, and it didn't seem intact anymore.

P.S. The girl's mother kicks her out of the house, and she's stuck between

the adult world, and the world of childhood for the rest of her life.

Thank you Jasmine, Thalia, and Mae
