===================THE BOMBER===================
Parker Twombly
================================================
It is a nice sunny day
No clouds for miles around
The warm glow of the suns rays hit my skin
I loook at my friend and he smirks
A little girl skips over to us
“Can I spin?” She asks
My friend and I say no
She climes on anyway
Suddenly the wind picks up, coldness
The eight grader starts to spin the metal, screeching
My friend tries to stop him but its too late
It picks up speed and the girl slips
Her legs fly out behind her
Her fingers turn bone white as she holds on for dear life
Four fingers
Three fingers
Two fingers left
One final jerk sends her sailing
She flies through the air
A fighter jet soaring through the air
Her eyes burn into me and I see murder
Her legs flail around right before impact
Her twisted foot lands, squishing into an old ladys face
The lady topples backward and they lay still
I look at the carnage and grin
