All Because I Ate An Apple

It was a lovely summer morning. An old lady appeared. She had short, grey hair and a weird black hat. She was dressed only in black. I went up to the lady because she was selling apples. She looked friendly and I was hungry.
Later that night, I felt weird. I woke the next morning and I could fly! I could also move things without touching them! I had amazing powers!
I flew down to breakfast and ate quickly. I wanted to test out my powers! Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The police officers wanted to see me. I felt nervous. They asked “Did you eat an apple from an old lady that had short grey hair, and dressed only in black?” I quickly replied “I saw her, but I didn’t buy an apple.” The police officers accepted my reply and left without any more questioning.
Soon after, I left for school. There was a boy at school who also had powers. He only used his powers for evil. I only used mine for good.
One day he decided to do something against my parents but I saved them. Riley felt sorry for what he had done and promised to only use his powers for good from now on.
