100WC- Eimear B 5th

Grace had volunteered to help re-do the parish’s museum. Grace had been working hard and
they were nearly done, there were just a few boxes left. Grace grabbed a box that was sitting on
a chair. She opened it... and had never seen something so terrifying, it was a raccoon! Grace was
petrified.  Another volunteer came over when he heard the commotion, he was just as shocked
as Grace. They decided to bring the box outside and leave it in a pile of leaves. Grace was
certain it was dead but as soon as it saw the sky, it’s eyes twitched!

Wow Eimear! A very impressive 100WC! I found it was drawn in from your first sentence... it already contained a fresh idea! Your use of vocabulary is excellent and the story unfolds in a very organised way. I love how at the height of the drama, you used the words terrifying, petrified and commotion. It helped the reader to process what was happening and create their own visualization of the story!! In your concluding sentence, you cleverly made the raccoon a character of it's own and the phrase 'its eyes twitched' left me with a sense that it was not the raccoon's first encounter with humans!! It made me laugh out loud! A superb 100WC and I can really see development in your writing! Well done, Eimear!!

Congratulations on your response to this week’s challenge Eimear. It’s not easy to write a coherent text using random words. I loved your word choices which helped me to visualise your story. This is the best response I have read this week, so I am nominating you for the Special Showcase.
