Writing Exercise #1 (5 W's)

It was a normal day like any other, Johnny was so excited because today was the day. The day little Johnny had been waiting for his whole itty bitty life. The day of the science fair… dun dun dun. He had been working on his volcano for over a month now and I know what you’re probably thinking, a volcano?, but no, this wasn’t any ordinary volcano it was the biggest, baddest, and most explosive volcano in third grade history. As Johnny prepared to take his volcano to school, across the street, Danny boy was preparing his too.

Unbeknownst to these two little boys was the fact that they both had chose to make the volcano as their science project, and at the exact moment Danny walked out his front door, Johnny across the street did too, each holding their own volcano.

“Oh no he didn’t,” Johnny gasped. His eyes narrow to little slits and his breathing gets faster. Their eyes meet and the immediate hatred felt towards each other for both having created the same thing almost caused the volcanoes to blow. You must know, Johnny and Danny, living across from each other their whole lives had always competed against each other to be the better of the two. But today Johnny wasn’t gonna let little Danny take away his thunder. Oh no, Johnny felt it was time to put little Danny in his place.

Three hours later at school, the clever police officer tripped over the body in the broom closet right before the science fair. It was the body of little Danny.
