The blog

    Hello my name is J. Elizabeth.  This blog is about cousins. How cousins laugh and tease each other. This blog is about our lives and what is going on in them.  I can't wait till other cousins get on this.  So good luck to you.  Good Bye. 
   Wait. I want to share a story I wrote.
Here it goes.
  Sirens went off everywhere but where was Luna? Was she already at the square safe in our mothers arms? I looked everywhere for her, but people were streaming out of the building and I was running in. Finally, I found her huddled under a table in one of the rooms.
      “Lu, come on we, have to get out” I said quickly. The fire was coming closer and closer. She ran to me and we sprinted to the town square and found our mother.
      We watched as the building burned. Lu was crying. I was starting up at the building. It was the town hall. It was where we went to school and where most people worked.
      I knew why Ly was crying. She was crying because of the library. She always went there. It was filled with books old and new. She has checked out at least 100 books, but all those books are now up in flames.
      I can't stand to see everyones lives go up in flames. The hard work everyone has done to make this city great was gone. Suddenly the fire jumps to a house and then another. The whole city is up in flames. I run. I run away to the meadow just outside the city of Tuclin. I run to the tree, the big maple tree. I sit down. It's getting hard to breathe. I am worn out from running. Then I see little Lu come up the hill with our mother by her side, but in the back ground I can see the flames. I try to shut them out, everything out, but all I can think of is the flames. The flames that I made.



      Well that was it.  Hope you like it.
Yours,
J. Elizabeth
