Week 4-What do you see?


“Are they near?” I asked Cecelia.

“Coming from our left, get ready,” she advises our group.

“Let’s finish this!” I say as our enemies come into view. “Ready?”

“As ready as ever,” Steve replied with an ornery smirk. As the enemy clan encircled us, I felt a surge of strength and power wash through my frame.

Let’s Play a Game-Wk 3-Catch the errors

“Jake!” Tim yelled, gasping for air.

Jake turned around to see water engulfing Tim. He hurried to the ocean’s shore. “I’m coming, Tim.” Before he could get too far from land, a team of lifeguards were at Jake’s rescue. Jake watched as they saved his friend, rushing him to the hospital in as ambulance.

“Jake,” his friend mumbled with a hoarse voice.

“Yes, Tim, I’m here. How are you feeling?” He knew that was a stupid question, but Jake couldn’t think of any other words. His body was still in shock.

“I’m okay but, my ribs hurt.”

They shared an anxious laugh.

Game-Week 2 (catch the errors)–The ANSWERS are here!

“Hey, Smith, look at this,” My partner in crime demanded.

“What is it,” I reply in wonderment.

“The place is apparently already been robbed, dude,” he aid in disbeilve.

“Wow!” I says in conculusion.

“Let’s get outta here,” Smith bellow.

We ran as fast as we can to get the hell out of dodge.


Okay… the wait is over! I am posting 2 alternative. The 1st works but the 2nd is actually correct.


Version 1 – corrected all original text:


 


“Hey, Smith, look at this,” my partner in crime demanded.


“What is it?” I replied.


“The place has apparently already been robbed, dude,” he said in disbelief.


“Wow!” I said in conclusion.


“Let’s get outta here,” he bellowed.


We run as fast as we can to get the hell outta Dodge.


 


 


Version 2 – Took out extra info in dialogue tags:


 


“Hey, Smith, look at this,” my partner in crime demanded.


“What is it?” I replied.


“The place has apparently already been robbed, dude.”


“Wow!”


“Let’s get outta here.”


We run as fast as we can to get the hell outta Dodge.

I slowly awoke. My eyes took awhile to adjust to the bright lights above my head This did not look like home. I too in surrounding exhaling. Where was I? Why am I here. Turning her head to the left, I noticed Stephen Aldridge, sitting on a couch next to where she was laying. The couch is mustard brown with tiny oranges x’s shattered about.

“Sephen?” She asked in a daze.

​”Good morning to you too, my Love.” His smile was filled with worry and anxiety.

“Where am I,” I speak with uncertainty.

​”You are in my basement, my dear,” he breathes heavily.

“Yea? Why?”

“Because, Bernie, you died.’ He exhales as he speaks.
