Why Write!

Hi guys I sort of wanted to write a story because I am quite terrible at expos ><

Black book of treasures

She never did have any friends. Her parents were too busy working to pay much attention to her. She cooped herself up in the house all day, with her black book tucked safely under her arm and a pen in her pocket. “She must live a boring life,” the other children said.

Or so they thought. Her life was anything but boring. She went on adventures every day, made new friends every day, and visited new places every day. She had a secret she shared with no one, not even her parents. Truth was, she had her very own magical world, a world where no one else could go, for only she held the key to this world. It was a beautiful world. This world would morph into different places, and all she had to do was to concentrate hard on the place where she wanted to go. In this world, she could be anyone she wanted to be, whether it was a princess, a mermaid, a brave female warrior, or even a dolphin! Again, all she had to do was focus. She rushed home from school every day, ready to enter her magical world, where she had full control of who she was, where she was and what she was going to do.

Just yesterday, she was a pirate, who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. She wore a red bandana, a black patch over her left eye, had a shiny steel hook for a right hand and a wooden left leg. On her left shoulder stood Percy the parrot, who would ask for crackers every five minutes and left her fuming. She spoke with authority as she ordered her crew around. Many feared her, and she was known as the Terror of the Seven Seas. Just hearing the name made others shudder and cringe in fear. She stole from many rich merchants sailing the seas and gave them generously to the poor. To some, she was the worst thing you could ever imagine, but to others, she was a heroine.

"What adventures shall I embark on today?" She wondered as she skipped home. Joyful chatter was heard as she walked past a playground where all the other children were playing. The other children suddenly grew very silent, stopping to watch her as she passed by, gleefuflly skipping her way home. "Lonely? Who needs friends when I have you?“ She held her black book close to her heart and felt for the pen in her pocket. Then she ran all the way home, with a knowing smile on her face, ready for another exciting adventure.
