it was the? year of 2021, it was in the middle of summer! ?Me and my cousin Merry were having fun at the beach!? Suddenly this man was walking near us..he was in..winter clothes?? Isnt he hot? as I stared at him I could hear Merry say "Jackson, catch!" she threw the ball and just as I noticed it..SMACK! The ball slapped my face! As I was opening my eyes, I looked up and saw an adorable little bridge I looked up.. no sky?..it was all white..?I looked around..no beach. No sand. No nothing! It was all white! As I was looking around I saw that man in winter clothes! "wh-who are you?" I mumbled. Im a very shy boy, so I don't really like meeting new people, I waited for an answer, still nothing! He's kinda creepy..out of no where, snow started appearing!? I was staring at the man, I looked away for one second, and..he's gone! "I'm trapped!" I told myself "I'm trapped in a different world! Will I ever see Merry again? What about my family??!" All these thoughts in my head, its making the butterflies in my stomach fly faster and faster! ?ARGH! All this stress is making me go mad! I ran around, and I crossed the bridge three times, and..?Im at the beach again? "Merry!" I yelled? "did you?- did you see it too? the snow!" "what are you talking about? The ball must have hit your head too hard!" she replied "guess not!" I giggled.
