open. Her eyes were as
big as apples. Her
eyebrows raised up like
an elevator. She gasped
and her body got as stiff
as a rock. by Carly

2. by Braedon
Jack’s face was as red as a tomato. He
looked like he was about to explode.
His face was wrinkled up and he was
making a growling sound.

3. Tasha had sweat trickling down her neck. She felt
like she was in the sizzling desert. Her face and
body turned completely the color of flame. She
was numb everywhere and could barely move.
By Hanna

4. Max clutched his arms
around his body. He
shook like a furless cat
frozen in a box of ice.
His teeth chattered. He
twitched and bit his lip,
grasping his flimsy by Taylor
sweater.

5. Sammy had tears coming
down his face. His
glasses were fogged up
and he was rubbing his
eyes. His smile was
turned upside down and
he was sobbing. His
by Joseph shoulders were slumped
over.

6. Lisa jumped up in the air. She clapped her
hands and whooped. Her smile was never-
ending. She twirled in circles and waved
her hands about.

I was drooped down with my head sagging
toward the ground. I began chugging
water. My face was beet red with sweat
dripping down my face.

drooped and his head
dropped like a dead
fly. It looked like he
fainted. He moaned,

began snoring!

by Chris

so rapidly that I almost fell through the
floor. My face was as red as the inside of a
watermelon.

12. George shivered and
his teeth chattered. His
face felt like it was
freezing into ice. His
lips turned blue. All I
could hear was the by Dylan
chattering of his teeth.

13. My eyes got watery
and then my nose
started sniffling. My
mouth began to
quiver and then tears
began to roll down my
By Jackie cheeks. I ran up to my
room.

14. by Jennifer
I was sweating and breathing heavily. I felt
like I was going to collapse. My hair was
sticking to my face. My back was bent over.
I felt like I was in an oven!

15. I was bursting out with
laughter and my smile went
from ear to ear! My rosy

and my face lit up like the

all different colored by Sophia

uncontrollably. His eyes were as wide
as saucers. He cowered backward.

a tomato. My hands
were in fists. Smoke
came out of my ears
and my hair stood
by Nate straight up.

18. by Kayla
Mr. Salsich fell onto his desk with bags
under his eyes. Suddenly there was a loud

his desk! “Honk… Shoo. Honk… Shoo.”

mouth. His skin was sizzling. Drips of water
were rolling down his neck. He could barely
walk and he panted, “Huff, huff, huff!”

on the floor –
