The Slinky:
MAX POV:
We had just gotten back from the arcade where Gazzy and Angel won this slinky.
We all crowded around the stairs to see the magical slinky do it's job. It didn't move at first, so Gazzy pushed it. The problem is, is that he pushed it a little too hard and it went sailing down the stairs.
Back up the stairs he trudged. This time, Angel gave the toy a light tap and it went down to the next step. And, that's where it stayed.
Then, Nudge stood at the bottom of the stairs and made the metallic slinky move towards her.
She misjudged the weight of the object and it smacked her in the face. Gazzy whispered the scene to Iggy who burst out laughing. That was not a good move to make, Nudge was red in the face with anger.
Next thing you know, Iggy's running for his life… he somehow hit a wall and fell flat on his back. Now, Nudge was laughing along with everyone else.
We momentarily forgot about the slinky, until somebody threw it at me.
I turned to see the guilty person, and I saw none other than Fang, who was smirking at me. I grab the nearest thing to me, which happens to be Total, and chuck it at Fang.
He dodges the projectile and Total hits Ella in the stomach. She falls back with an audible 'oof'.
Ella stumbles up from her place on the floor and is about to toss a hairbrush at me, but Iggy stumbles backwards and knocks Ella back to the floor.
Gazzy seizes the moment to do a victory dance on top of a disheveled Iggy.
I notice the slinky in the center of the room, and I walk over to it, but Angel senses my thoughts and heads for it too.
Now, it's a standoff between Angel and her leader. We circle the toy and I jump for it, but so does Angel and as we almost touch it, Nudge magnetically pulls it out of our way.
Soon, Nudge has been dog-piled on the floor and the slinky rolls out the door.
I faintly hear clink, clink, clink. The other flock members must have noticed too, as we were all trying to get out of the door at once.
It turns out that the clink, clink, clink. came from the slinky.
The slinky was going down the stairs.
And so was the flock, already fighting about who was going to push it down the stairs next.
I hate slinkies.
(How do you spell the plural of slinky? Microsoft Word doesn't have a clue either)
Good? Bad? Please tell me how I've done. You wouldn't believe how happy reviews make me. Share you're thoughts, whatever they are, they always help improve my writing.
