It came closer... rustling through the leaves…

Hello my name is Jack Jefferson and I am 21 and turning 22 on the 15th of april but I am not happy because for my birthday I got this slow pink sparkly car with glitter and I am a BOY not a GIRL !!! and I only got one present but I am willing to tell you a short little story. One day I woke up fresh in the morning when the sun was just rising up and the birds were chirping and I wanted to go and have a walk. I went to a wetland and in the wetland there was a forest I went to walk in the forest and I never knew but it was an abandoned wetland because there was a sign and it said in the forest there lived a beast that no one has ever seen but I thought it was some superstition message so I ignored it.

So I was walking and i saw some red raspberry juice but it was actually blood but I did not know so I kept walking and there was a sword on the floor and I picked it up because it was golden and it would be good for a decoration and will be worth a lot of money. After walking for about 10 minutes and I heard a noise so I followed it and it got louder and louder I kept following it and after a few minutes I saw a dragon I thought it was my imagination so I rubbed my eyes but I still saw it so I got my sword out and tried to hit it but I could not reach the dragon and the dragon picked me up but I escaped and got on its back and then tried to stab it but its skin was super thick so I needed to put a lot of strength in it but it was really hard but then he got me and tried to pick me but I ran, after I kept on stabbing him and I actually hit him in the heart and killed him and then I escaped and ran as fast as I could I told the police and then he said I will be on the news and I could talk on the news LIVE because I killed the dragon and that the wetland could be opened again and a lot of other stuff so that kind of turned into the best day of my life and I became a hero!!!
