The Magic of Superpowers.

     I was walking through a forest with the wind blowing in my hair. A leafy breeze chilling my skin and evergreens towering above my head. As I walked on the dirt trail, I found a little bag on the ground. Curious, I picked up the little, silk bag and opened it up; inside were 4 small brown beans. I looked at the bag to find out where they came from, but all it said was beware, in small, black letters. Being a very curious person, I took out a single bean and place it in my hand. I lifted it to my nose and smelt it. It had a very original smell, like nothing I had ever smelt before. I wondered what it would taste like a placed the first one in my mouth. Chewing it slowly an explosion of flavor burst in my mouth. Than suddenly I started floating in the air. I was flying. I rose higher than the trees and up into the clouds. Still chewing the bean, I soared through the trees like the birds. When I swallowed the bean, I started to drift back down to the ground. I landed with a thud on the dirt path. Shaking off the dirt, and very confused I tried to jump into the air but I could no longer fly. Disappointed, I took another bean and put it in my mouth, and began chewing once again. This time, instead of rising into the air, I didn’t think anything had happened. But then I looked at my hands, and instead of seeing hands I saw the dirt trail below me. I was invisible. This was amazing. Every bean must have a superpower. Who ever lost these must be very disappointed. I was running through the forest and nothing could see me. I passed a group of hikers and they had no idea that a few feet away I was standing. I continued to run, but then I swallowed the bean. I appeared again within seconds. Wanting to see what else these beans had in store, I popped a third one in my mouth. This one tasted very sour, and sent chills down my spine. Nothing changed. At least, that’s what I thought. Disappointed that nothing had happened, I turned my head behind me. Behind me was a thin travel of gold. Everything I touched was turning to gold. This is amazing, I thought. I would be rich. But I had learned by now that I had to be chewing the bean for the power to work. I tried as fast as I could to make everything around me gold. Then I swallowed. Everything that had once been gold turned back. This superpower didn't stay after the bean was gone. I guess none of them had stayed. There was one bean left, sitting in the bottom of the bag. I wanted to eat it, but I wanted to save it at the same time. After a few minutes of debating with myself, I decided to eat it. I put the bean in my mouth and took the first bite. As my teeth parted the bean, everything around me disappeared. Everything was blank. I had vanished. Wanting to go back I swallowed the bean but nothing happened. I was stuck. There was no way back now.
 Back in the forest, the red, silk bag was laying on the dirt path, filled with four small, brown beans once more. Beware was all it read.

  1. lol Pretty creative I love the way you started your paragraph. Almost like it was the beginning of a short story. :) maybe when you started " floating" there could be a little more description, but what am I talking about lol Great job

  2. Wow. Lots of content. Sentence variety is good. Needs a bit of proofreading. Focus on diction and creative imagery. Consider some similes and metaphors.Good effort.
