One dreaded afternoon i came back from school and i was walking to my house but while i was walking a sudden tremor shook me hard.I was so confused and was in such a daze that i went the wrong into a whirlpool and i wanted to get out of it but a strong current of electric force was pulling me into it.

I was so scared then it all stopped and i was in front of a massive door.I managed to open it and what was in there left me gobsmacked, a whole room of candy.I knew from that moment that something was going on and indeed i was right an alien stood with some soldiers up there and said he wanted to sabotage me, but i didn't need to think twice i zoomed through the exit and hid behind the bush.I waited till the coast was close and i went through the whirlpool again. I ran straight home and switched the TV on,some kids were missing and i knew where there were in the candy land.I didn't dare tell anyone since no one would believe me and that's how i lost my taste for candy. Candy has now turned sour for me.
