Creative Writing: Playing In The Woods

Karen and I would always go play in the wood. It was hurricane season and a big hurricane came by and knocked all the trees down. Being kids we had a big imagination and the trees that fell were out houses, cars, and shopping centers. All the kids in the neighborhood would come by and play as well.
