I'm a Young Author... or am I?

     Smurf (that's hello in Smurf)! Saturday was the District Science Fair, and although we didn't advance, I can try again in two years. Every year they don't hold the science fair, they hold the Young Authors Contest, which is a writing competition. I probably won't submit this next year, but I thought I'll write the first chapter of a story to get my writing muscles warmed up.

My Journey to a (Not-So) Wonderful Reality

"I'm pretty much screwed.
    That's my considered opinion.
    Screwed."
    Those first words from "The Martian" (They have been adapted to be child-appropriate) are what popped into my head as soon as I woke up inside my phone. Those days were the most monumental of my life. Those days are what this story is about. But I'll get to that later.
     Kids, if you are reading this on a computer or any other electronic device, listen to my next words very carefully:
  1.  Print this story out.
  2.  Shut off said electronic device(s).
  3.  Run far, far away.
     I can't risk what happened to me happening to anyone else. 
     My name is Ashley Brigade and I survived.
     That doesn't mean you will too.

    What do you think? Do you want to hear the rest? Comment down below, and make sure to follow this blog. Smurf!
