Here is my story -
Today was Tuesday the 13th of May. It has been a dry, tiring day in the desert. Macy was a tall, courageous girl with a bright and bubbly personality. She wasn’t afraid of what might happen on her missions. Instead she was hopeful she would find something mysterious; leading to investigation.
Today Macy was in the middle of nowhere looking for any indications of life. She was flying her plane when she heard puttering noises coming from the failing engine. She had no way of fixing it before the plane crashed. So she pulled out her binoculars and searched the area for a place to land. Her eyes were red from rubbing them. She was exhausted. That’s when a light flickered. Frantically she grabbed her binoculars once again and lifted them up into sight. That was when she saw a lighthouse in the distance. She began to grow hopeful, hopeful of what might be in there or if there’s anything to help her with her mission. At that very moment the light from the lighthouse pointed towards something. She turned around. It was pointing towards a rain cloud.
The thought of seeing rain made Macy pleased because there obviously hadn’t been any rain here for a while. The plane bounded through the sky, that’s when she realised what had happened. The engine had malfunctioned; causing it to crash into a building. She didn’t know what type of building it was until she got out of her plane and looked around. The smoke caused her breathing to be a struggle. Eventually she had made her way out of the cloud of smoke and into the open air. She walked through the sand. Within minutes she realised what building she crashed into. The Lighthouse!
She walks into the lighthouse and begins to investigate the premises. Huge, hairy spiders creeping the stairwells. Waddling up the stairs. She makes her way to the tip of the lighthouse and sees a dog. The dog sprints towards her, pushes her down to the ground and begins to lick her sweaty face. Macy calls the dog and he begins to follow her lead. They walk down the stairs, around the corner and out the door.
Suddenly, the dog sees the big rain cloud. He leaps into the sky and flies over to the cloud. And boom out of nowhere he grabs the cloud with his sharp teeth and drags it over to this big hole where it looks like an ocean used to be.
Thankfully the dog annoyed the cloud so much it began to rain. They were filled with joy!
The End
Thank you for reading my story. It would be very helpful to have feedback on what I did well and what I could improve on.
