Greetings! I recreated my original Left Ya Hangin’ cliffhanger from a few years earlier. I really enjoyed rewriting this, and I love seeing how much progress I’ve made as a young writer! I think this’ll mainly just be a writing warm-up, but I’m considering continuing this story once I’m done with my Minecraft book! Anyways, enjoy this!

Here’s the original…

It was a stormy night,

Thunder crashed above me. The rain pounded on my poncho. The sidewalk was slippery, but I had to keep on looking. It had to be here somewhere. Then I saw something white flash before my eyes. My flash light’s light bounced all over the place. Then the beam hit something shiny in the grass. The red rock stuck out of some damp leaves. “There it is,” I whispered to myself.

I jumped off the sidewalk and into the woods. Excitement pumped through my veins as I rushed towards the little red stud. It got closer and closer. This was it, I exhaled. Although it was only a few feet away, I could still feel the power pulsing outwards. 

The aurora had me so hypnotized and distracted, that I didn’t realize where I was walking. Dead leaves and crisp twigs cracked under my boots. Suddenly, I stepped forward but could not feel the ground in front of me. Before I knew it, I was tumbling down a wide, muddy hole. Little did I know that what I’d fallen into was no hole. I had fallen into a giant’s footprint…
