It was the last day of school.
I was so excited for the weekend when the day was over, I ran to the bus and went home happily. When I got home, I ran into the house and got on my favourite game Fortnite.
I hopped on, I was in the start of the game when suddenly, there was an electric spark from my controller, and it zapped into my body. As soon as I knew it, I was in a game gliding in the air, I thought I was going to fall to the ground and get eliminated but I landed softly and got a weapon to defend myself.
There were seventy-five people left and they kept on getting eliminated in the game. How am I going to survive? I finally got my loot I needed to win this game; I saw someone running away from someone else. I pulled out my weapon and shot him, he was eliminated.
I went to get the other player, but he ran away. I saw a sniper in the corner of my eye, I dashed into the house closest to me so I could get cover. As I ran in something caught my attention, it was a shield potion, I quickly got it and drank it I was 200 health The storm was closing in and I had to go somewhere else there was a shark in the river I had to cross I quickly swam across and didn’t take any damage I got sniped at but he missed I go into a bush to stay in there for the end game. There were twenty people left in the game. Someone came into the bush with me I pulled out my weapon to shoot him and I eliminated him I was still in circle and stayed there for a little bit there were six seconds. I went to eliminate a player but he sniped me and I took so much damage from it so I hid for a little bit to heal I got up to two hundred health and got out there and eliminated him I healed and got his weapons they were so good so I went to eliminate some other people so I can get even better loot. There were seven-teen people left to eliminate I was so nerves what if I get eliminated else what will happen will I get eliminated in real life. I had to win this to see what happens. I was thinking did everyone here get zapped and got into this game did I gust eliminated someone I was so scared I don’t want to get eliminated in real life do I everyone else I have to survive. I started rushing everyone in my site I couldn’t believe it there were five people left I was so happy I might win finally I was thinking about my family what would they be like if I didn’t survive, I have to win this game
