“Victory”

As the last seconds ticked down, the fans gripped their chilled drinks in anticipation. After the clock hit zero, the yellow and black suits stormed the green beaten field. They cried in excitement and exhaustion while they hugged teammates. From the sky, red, blue, and white streamers danced down through the gentle smoke from the fireworks. The head coach was showered with freezing cold Gatorade that soaked every inch of his body and ran into his mouth and greeted him with sweetness. The look on his face was proud as he was clearly in disbelief that this happened to him-yes, he won the Super Bowl.

“My Raincoat”

Have you ever had a favorite coat? My raincoat is my favorite coat! It’s light purple with dark purple thread outlining on the button areas, sleeves, seams and the huge, round pockets on each side. It has oversized, dark purple buttons that makes it look really original. The outside of my coat is made of shiny waterproof vinyl, but the inside is warm, fuzzy flannel. I even have a matching purple rain hat; I can hear the pitter-patter of raindrops bouncing off my hat when I play outside. I wear my coat and hat so much that they are beginning to show signs of wear and tear. I have to admit my coat has worn elbows, the end of the sleeves looks quite dingy, and the collar is frayed. What’s worse, it has a big hot chocolate stain near the hem. It’s also getting a little small for me and has a slight odor, like a dandelion. I need a new raincoat, but I don’t think I’ll be able to find another raincoat like it!
