Michael Magee and the Dragon of Doom

Once upon a time, there lived a 9-year-old boy named Michael Magee. He was tall, wore glasses, was brown-haired, and was a very resourceful fellow. Michael lived with his mother, father, and his 7-year-old sister Sarah. They were all living together very happily, until that fateful day, Friday, December 13, 1996. On that day, Michael woke up at 5:00 A.M., very wide-eyed and alert, to a very unusual sound. Michael jumped out of bed, ready to fight if necessary. He grabbed his BB gun and rushed to wake his mother, father, and Sarah. They were all in the backyard in less than ten minutes, to find themselves face-to-face with a very strange creature. “It can’t be!” cried Michael’s mother. “Nooooo!” cried his father. The creature had very sharp teeth, very sharp claws, and two horns on its head, a fearful-looking tail, and two powerful wings. The creature was none other than a very fierce dragon. “Run!” cried Sarah. And they did. The dragon, although slower than the Magees, caught up with them. Then the Magees realized that trying to get away was not going to stop the dragon from battling. And so the battle began. The dragon at once opened its mouth, and out came a large ball of fire. “Aaaahhhh!” cried Sarah. “You can say that again!” replied Michael as he dodged the fireball. “Aaaaahhhh!” said Sarah again. Just then the dragon gave its powerful tail a mighty swing, and successfully managed to knock over all of the Magees. The Magees quickly got up. Michael, quick as a bullet, reloaded his BB gun and fired at the dragon. The shot stung the dragon in the leg, but the sharp-toothed creature recovered. It opened its mouth, and once again, out came a fireball. All of the Magees darted out of the fireball’s path. Just as another fireball came out of the foul-smelling dragon’s mouth, Mr. Magee whispered something into Michael’s ear. Michael whispered into Mrs. Magee’s ear, and she whispered into Sarah’s ear. Then Mr. Magee, Mrs. Magee, and Sarah ran and hid behind nearby trees. Meanwhile, Michael fired one last shot at the dragon, this time at the evil creature’s head. The dragon immediately fell down, and the Magees escaped to the freedom of their house.
