Never in a million years had I thought I'd be saving the world (my school) and I never thought this stinky gross power would help me do it. It all started at lunch 2 days ago when I was eating my low fat muffin with high fat butter. I'm a looser so I was eating by myself, when suddenly I heard a crash. I walked out of the boy’s toilets and nobody had seemed to hear it. I walked outside and saw a huge asteroid. I couldn't help myself. I had to touch it. When I just placed my pointer finger on it I felt something. Something had happened to me and I didn't know what. When I walked inside everyone was calling my name. A couple of steps forward and I started to fart. "I'm tooting" I said being a little bit embarrassed. The next day I was still tooting constantly. I arrived at school at it was being attacked. I started farting in all the bad guy's faces. Who knew that farting would come in handy? In 10 minutes they were all gone thanks to me. I'm not a looser anymore, I'm a superhero. I can’t wait to find out my next mission!
