Spike's Journey by Steff Mercer https://padlet.com/s_mercer/spike Where nothing is as it seems... en-us 2017-05-25 09:02:10 UTC 2017-06-06 16:32:09 UTC hello@padlet.com Formal/informal https://padlet.com/s_mercer/spike/wish/173788289 I've had to get a move on.
Soon enough, I reached my destination.
Bubba was sittin' there, waiting for me.
The fear of Mama D'Angelo consumed my safety in one huge, cruel bite. You don't want to be there - trust me.]]> 2017-05-25 09:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mercer/spike/wish/173788289 Passive voice https://padlet.com/s_mercer/spike/wish/173788389 I was running to Bubbas home.
When I was running past the fruit shop,  I could see Bubbas mum.
I was out of breath going to Bubbas home.
He was swallowed by the darkness.
The water was rippling by the ladder.
I was haunted by the grin of mama D'angelo lurking in the darkest depths my imagination 
The tank was expanded by the heat.
The bush was dried by the sun.
It was scorching when coming back from the water tower.
When I was leaving Bubba my feet got blistered.
I was shocked by the run to bubba's house.
I was amazed by the heat of the floor on the top of the water tower.
I was breath taker of how much water was in the water tower
I was in pain by the tingerling blisters on my feet.
I was dieing pain that my younger was as dry as a hot tapp on a sunny day]]> 2017-05-25 09:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mercer/spike/wish/173788389 Verb form https://padlet.com/s_mercer/spike/wish/173788427 I was trying to save Bubba from getting slapped because Mama'D Angelo could slap harder than any regular human.
I ran as my feet slowly descended from comfort.
My blisters started to descend from my skin as I neared the cool town.
The water danced, when it was dancing, I swam.

I was fearless; Bubba wasn't.  ]]> 2017-05-25 09:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mercer/spike/wish/173789066 Sss https://padlet.com/s_mercer/spike/wish/173789171 I ran. I was running. I sprinted . Down the hill.
I ran I ran so fast I went through time
I was on the mission I can do 
It's an easy mission. right? I can do this. I know I can. 
I ran. I ran quickly. I ran through time
I was running.Spinting.slowing between each breath.
Bubba was hoping.Dreaming.Believing in me to get his shorts without landing a wholop from his mother.
Wondering.Dreaming.Thinking of the people just gazing at the "beast" consuming children's lives

As time had swiftly contrasted the wind behind me,
Whilst my follower was waiting for me - just across the tower,
As I glanced across my moment of choice,
A long time ago,
Before,
Whilst I was waiting for spike,
Before losing my pants,
As the wind followed me,
As my hair waved in the wind,
As I was running,
Despite Bubba losing his shorts,, I have to run like the wind
I might not be the real Spike, but Bubba thinks I am 
As I set off,
As I ran through time,
In a flash,
To begin with,
As I decended into the lifeless town,
As I descended down the steep hill,
As I was climbing through Bubba's window,
As bubba gave me his trust,
