Why did it have to come to this? Why, out all of the thousand kids, did I have to be it. I was lucky to catch a few kids. I look up. It is dark. I can't rest. I have to look for kids who aren't it. This could actually be an opportunity to turn some kids 'it', while they're sleeping. It was so dark. I was starting to get paranoid of the dark forest. A twig snapped under me. I was startled. I don't know why, but I started running. I bumped into a tree and fell onto the ground. My head ached. My stomach grumbled. Something inside told me I was going to fail this game. A dot of light appeared above me. It was moving around. It also made a slight buzzing sound. A firefly it was. I followed it, despite my legs hurting. It brought me to an open field. I stopped running. I looked in amazement. A hundred fireflies were there. To accompany this sight was the beautiful night sky. I lied down. As I closed my eyes, I smiled. Some beautiful things happen in bad times, I thought.
