Curse
Throughout the years of my life, I have been bullied and cursed. My grandpa decided to steal vegetables from our neighbors garden because he was poor. The only thing was that his neighbor was a witch. In anger she cursed my grandpa she said to him, “Your grandson will be utterly disgusting, along with all his heirs, all the way down until the end of humanity, until someone who is related to you by blood and is utterly disgusting finds a way to break the curse.”
I am the one who was affected by this curse, because of it I have been bullied a lot there are some perks to having this curse. It made me have phones instead of hands. My parents consider it a blessing because they won’t have to pay for my phone because it is attached to me. Although this makes people judge me I like it cause I don’t have to do homework, since I cannot write, and the teachers can’t take away my phone cause it is attached to me.
Since my grandpa was the one who put the curse on me and other generations to come. I am the one who has the most blood of my grandpa so I am going to try to find a way to break the curse. Now all I have to do find the ingredients the witch used, to break the curse. Then I have to make a potion and drink that potion. After I drink the potion I will have to wait until my family and I accept me for me and not for my phone hands. If this works I will be like a “normal” boy and I will have 5 fingers on my hands instead of phone hands.
My journey awaits for me. So according to an ancient scroll the ingredients to this spell were:
Golden hair
Red coat/hoodie
Pure white cow - milk
Corn
Glass slipper
Now I am off for the woods hoping to find some of the ingredients.
So I am strolling in the woods, and I ran into my friend Red. Red is a girl that loves the color red. She just so happened to be wearing a red coat.
I said, “Hey Red how are you doing.”
“Good, how about you,” she said.
“Ohh, well as you know I’m cursed and I want to break this curse and to do that I need specific ingredients.”
“What kind of ingredients”
“Well according to this ancient scroll I need golden hair, a red coat/hoodie, a pure white cow, corn, and a glass slipper. Do you care if I used one of your red coats, maybe one you don’t like because you won’t get it back.”
“Sure do you care if I tag along”
“No, I don’t care”
“We should get the red coat last because the one I don’t like is at my house”
“Ok, just so you know I have to do this before sundown tonight”
“Well let’s get moving then”
So Red and I are walking around in the woods in search of some corn. After about a mile walk we ran into Bob the farmer. Red and I say “Hey Bob”
“Hey Red, and Joe, What are you up too”
“We are trying to find a cure for Joe’s curse” Red replies.
“Well is there anything I can do to help?” Bob says.
“Well, one of the ingredients we need for the cure is corn. Would you be willing to offer some to me” I answer?
“Sure, how much do you need?” Bob replies.
I say “We just need one corn on the cob, please.”
Bob gives us the corn and we head back to our houses. We get the red coat from Red and we put the corn and jacket in a wagon at my house, so we don’t have to carry it. We walk to my friend Goldie’s house. We ask Goldie if she would be willing to donate some of her golden hair. She says sure because we just need 5 strands of her hair and no one would notice.
Then Red and I head to the shoe store. The shoe store in my town has every kind of shoe on Earth. We bought a pair of glass slippers, I gave the other glass slipper to Red. She needed it for a secret project she has been working on. I say to Red “now all we need is a pure white cow.”
We go to my friend Jack’s house. Jack is a farmer like Bob, but Jack raises animals instead of having a garden. I ask Jack if we could borrow his pure white cow, Bessie. He lets us borrow her. Red and I feed Bessie all of the ingredients. I ask Jack to milk the cow for me. Right now it is 2 minutes til sundown, the milk is ready so I drink it. Now we have to wait for my family to accept me for me, I already accept me for me.

One month later
Right now It is summer time and I am playing at the playground with all of my friends when all of a sudden. I start floating in the air, white light surrounds me. I see an angel that says my grandpa’s curse is gone. The next thing I know I am on the ground with fingers and hands. I show my parents and they think it’s a miracle, I think it’s destiny.
