Hi, my name’s Jack. Frost.
Most people go on normal holidays, like on an airplane or in the car. I went on a rainbow red submarine to the Atlantic, my submarine burst from pressure; the current carried my wasted corpse throughout the creepy, disgusting Atlantic Ocean.
I was reborn as I got lifted up to the icy surface through a hole in the thin ice. My eyes started to slowly open mysteriously; I saw a glowing staff floating in front of me. I picked it up and banged it on a nearby tree, a huge sparkling snowflake started to form mysteriously on the old unapproachable tree! I was amazed but very confused as the dry, rotten, alarming wind lifted me off the ground and carried me to a nearby village. I tried to ask where I was but the people just kept on walking, I turned around and a kid walked straight through me! I asked myself some questions, “can they hear me? Or see me?
How do I know my name you might ask? Well the man on the moon told me that was all he ever told me, (sigh). I walked over to a place I knew very well; it was Jamie’s house, a remarkable glow red house with wonderful shimmering clean windows. Today was his birthday, he couldn’t see me, yet I still had to get him a present. As I flew up to his window I wondered what I was going to get for him. Suddenly clicked! I glanced through his window. He was lying on his bed looking at his new shoes. I began to draw a picture of a bunny on his window, and then I made it jump out and bounce on air! 3 seconds after that I made it explode causing Jamie’s room to snow!
One tiny snowflake landed on Jamie’s small nose. I had just jumped inside and Jamie turned around, “Jack… Jack. Frost!” Jamie said excitedly, ‘that’s, my name…he said my name” I said confused. ‘Wait, can you hear me”? I asked, Jamie opened his eyes widely and answered. “Ahu,”Jamie said excitedly. “Can you see me? I questioned. “Yes” Jamie said excitedly, as we walked out to get ice-cream, we got trapped in an alley way! “Jack I’m scared,” Jamie wallowed, “Ahahahahah” Shadow yelled like a mad man, a dark evil Shadow that lurks in abandon alley ways until finally, someone comes along. “don’t be scared… we’re gonna’ have a little fun! I said confidently, I picked up a snowball and threw it at Shadows face! ”Ahhh” screamed Shadow as he wiped snow of his face. He noticed we were gone, “stays hear Jamie” I said heroically as I flew off towards shadow. Our battle was glorious, hearts stoped people where running, what a day. “How dare you have fun in the presence of Shadow?” Shadow yelled loudly as Jamie and I had a snowball fight. I played as Jamie’s melancholy faded.
What a marvel to be told.
