It was another morning which meant another day of staying inside. I turned my back to the sun and groaned. ” Wake up!” yelled my little brother, ketchup “why?” I moaned. “because someones trying a new invention to stop the ground from sucking us up!” he said brightly “ketchup,we’ve had this problem for hundreds of years why do you think a few pieces of scrap metal glued together would make a difference?”I asked. ” Well for hundreds of years no one was named ketchup then I got named ketchup and that made a difference.” He had a point. “But that’s not the same.” I insisted. He just ignored me and started drawing. It felt a little stuffy ,so I opened the window closest to Ketchup. A sudden gust of wind blew the drawing out the window. Ketchup ran out the front door to catch it. “Stop!” I yelled, but it was to late,Ketchup was stuck to the ground and sinking fast. Then I ran out side and pulled his arm to stop him from sinking miraculously he started rising, the ground pulled away from his feet and there we were,standing not sinking in the never before used road. I knew things were changing.
Sinking
