Hi my name is Frank. I have long brown hair and glasses. I have thin nobly legs and thin arm. I live In a family of 4. My brother, mother and dad.

They all have very strange problems, like worms, but let's not get into that. But out of all of them...a curse, this curse makes buildings and things around me fall. That's not a good thing being a boy of 10 years of age



One day I was in the city strolling around and all of a sudden 3 buildings dropped to the ground and made a huge thundering crash. The floor around us shook, it was like an earth quake. Believe it or not one of those buildings was my Dads business. I do not tell anyone of this. If I did they would send me away. Oh there goes another building

Just the other day I was in my backyard minding my own business when bang, a meteor as big as a mini van fell from the sky leaving a smouldering hole in the Earth. I was lost for words. I did this, I made this happen.

Then one day my curse was stolen, well I thought it was.

I went to the beach, it was fine, nothing bad happened. So maybe this was my peace area. My way of freedom.



The other day we were flying to Africa I had a cake and a drink of hot chocolate. I decided to watch a movie to take my mind off it. And the plane we were in crashed and everyone on board died including my family

But not me.

I decided to search on Google. [cure for curses]

Google Search said fly to America to be cured.



Is it a risk yes. Am I going to take the risk mmmm yes.

We were half way there, and it was going fine.



Until Down Down I went falling falling falling. Maybe I shouldn't trust Google.
