A letter from Corey the Brave

Corey takes it upon himself to request aid from the Mayor. - Writer's Cramp Entry.

Dear Mayor Thompson,


I, Corey the Brave, write to you on behalf of the young adventurers of Clawson Elementary, for our playground; the once great Field of Joy is not suitable for little children and unworthy of our grand quests!

First, there lies a ditch nearby the swings, that is deep and treacherous. Many a young hero has nearly tumbled into its depths while fleeing imaginary dragons or racing toward victory. It is a trap waiting to claim an unsuspecting traveler!

Then, there are the three cursed stones that rest near the slide. These three rocks are no ordinary pebbles, but rather great boulders in the eyes of a child. They trip the swift footed, bruise the daring, and conspire to send even the bravest tumbling into the dirt.

And let us not forget the most dangerous relic of all; a block of wood of unknown origin! Some say it once belonged to a pirate’s ship, others claim it is a remnant of a fallen wizard’s tower. Whatever its past, it now lies in wait, splintered and filled with rusty nails, eager to bring harm to anyone who dares to cross its path.

Your Excellency, we beg of you; use your power to mend our playground! Fill the ditch, remove the stones, banish the cursed wood, and restore the Field of Joy to its former glory! Only then may we continue our grand adventures without fear of real danger lurking beneath our fun.

With the deepest respect and urgency,
Corey the Brave, Defender of Playgrounds
