The honker went. Everyone was off… well, nearly everyone, another girl pushed me to the ground, before I had even taken a step.”Well what a start” I thought. I didn’t know who she was, all I saw were her neon orange sneakers. A kind marshall helped me up. I started with a steady jog, and soon caught up with the other kids. Just as the finish line came into sight I heard a “thud”. One of the other girls had tripped and fallen. I took one glance back. I didn’t know who it was, all I caught of her were the neon orange sneakers she was wearing.
A clever ending, Lizzy. It links nicely back to previous action from your story. I'm left wondering how you felt as you overtook her.
ReplyDeleteI like it. A short story, but very neat, with a good twist at the end! love from Mum
