When Alex got home, she searched the kitchen for the list of chores she had to do today. She eventually found it. It read,
1. Broom the kitchen
2. Broom the hallway
3. Vacuum the living room
4. Vacuum the dining room
5. Wash, dry, and put away the dishes
6. Clean your room
7. Vacuum your room
8. Organize your closet
9. Organize your dresser
Alex groaned. Why can't this be the one day I only have two or three chores to do? She thought as she began her chores.

                        3 hours later...

"Done!" Alex said.
Finally, I can just sit down.  Alex had layed on her bed, tired from her chores. How am I so tired? Suddenly, she remembered that she only got 3 hours of sleep last night. Her eyes shut slowly and her mind drifted off to sleep.

                     5 hours later...

Alex, once again, woke with a start. She checked the time on her phone. It's 8:00! I'm gonna miss the accelerator being turned on! She thought, I have to go!  Alex told her mom she was leaving, and raced out of the house. Alex ran as fast as she could but she was too late. A huge blast came from the giant machine. The blast shot upward, and it began to rain. A surge of energy hit Alex. She looked up, and saw a bolt of lightning attack her. Alex, on the spot, collapsed right in the middle of the sidewalk. Alex felt a shocking sensation all around her. Her head felt like it was exploding. Alex's fingers tingled. Electricity ran through her veins. It was like no other experience for Alex. The main feeling was in her legs. Pins and needles seemed to be poking her in her legs.
