My name is Simon Bruskly; I have brown hair, blue eyes, and a very intimidating nose. My hair reaches my shoulders; a lot of people mistake me as a girl. Its really annoying. I just got out of school but I failed social studies. Now I have to go to some stupid summer school in Kansas! I am really upset, this summer I was going to go tubing down the Mississippi river with my friend Josh! But… I have to go to a summer school instead. Today is the day I will leave for the summer school. I had already considered hiding in the woods all summer, I had rejected the idea. Than I had thought of eating poisonous mushrooms and becoming severely ill, to risky. “Come along Simon! Its time to leave!” my mom called. “Coming.” I groaned as I secretly shoved a bag of twizzlers into my suitcase. I grumpily walked down the stairs and piled into the car. “I’m ready, mom!” I shouted. My mom trudged to the car and got in. “aren’t you excited?” my mom asked. ‘”No, of coarse not!” I answered with annoyance. “I hope you change your mind when we get there.” My mom said. “The summer school is all the way out in one of the most remote places in Kansas, wont it be peaceful? I wish I could go.” My mom said. “Yeah right” I answered. My mom started the car and began backing out of the driveway. The gravel crunched and flew in every direction. “You’ll probably make lots of new friends!” she said. “I’d rather go tubing with josh.” I said.
I hope people will come to my yard sale. I’ve put up signs all over town. It’s not that hard to get to my house. Simply turn left onto Moccasin Street. Watch out for the thing- you’ll know what I mean. Get out of your car and walk over to a yellow house with a blue tiled roof. You will then meet my neighbor. His name is Sir Snorts-a-lot (yes, I know, who names a baby “Sir Snorts-a-lot?”). Knock on the door and he will give you magical granola that will make you magical. Eat it. Have you eaten it yet? Once you have, I have something to tell you. The granola isn’t magical, it’s poisonous. You will die in twenty-four hours. But don’t worry, I have the antidote and it can be yours for only $19.95 (that’s what I’m selling at my yard sale.)
