It was just an ordinary day at the Enchantia Mall in Poughkeepsie. Zola, Lilly and I were walking around when a hair clip caught my eye in Zandle, the accessories store. It was made of ancient wood and covered in gemstones that sparkled like the stars. It was so beautiful that I had to stop. So I walked in and bought it. The moment I got home I put it on and showed my mom. She adored it. I went to my room so I could look into the mirror but something wasn’t right. My hair almost looked like wood and I could barely see the clip.
That night at around 10:30, I knew something was terribly wrong. I was typing on my computer but I could not really think. I wrote a note to my mom saying that I thought the hair clip was slowly changing me into a tree. As I was typing the last word, I looked down and saw that my knee looked wooden. I needed to get rid of the hair clip before I turned into a tree, and this was my last chance.
I ran as fast as I could towards the Hudson River to throw the clip away, and so no one would ever find it again. I could feel myself getting stiffer and stiffer, slowly turning into wood as I got closer and closer to the Hudson River. As I got there, I knew I was almost fully a tree. I couldn’t walk anymore. My feet turned to roots. I threw the hair clip into the water and as I let go of the clip, my arm sprouted into a branch and my fingers into leaves. With my last breath, I thought of everything I was leaving behind and became a tree with a soul.
Hi Shirley! I am Ramya, and I’m from Mrs. Rombach from U.S.A. That story was really interesting, and nice. So when you said that the girl was thinking that her hair clip was making her into a tree, then why did she turn into a tree after she got rid of the hair clip? Was it that she was too late? One thing though is for sure, if more people bought those hair clips, it would definitely add more oxygen to our planet and not CO2 emissions. Anyway, I would love for you to visit my blog!

Hi Eden,
I really liked your story!!! It was a tiny bit scary with some interesting parts. I liked when she started to figure out that the clip was turning her into a tree. It was awesome when she went to throw it in the river but she was to late. I was wondering if she would make it or not. I also love your beginning sentence it was very catching.
