Free Write Week 10

Exercise from the book-Using only nouns, verbs, pronouns, and articles (This exercise was very difficult!) The hail pounded the roof. It cracked the car windshield. It sliced the petals from the plants. Animals retreated into holes. Trees crashed into the power line causing a power outage. Within minutes the the hail stopped, leaving only silence in its wake. The damage devasted the town. Buses were destroyed. Schools closed due to damage. Citizens scampered to the grocery store to buy food. Children whined about staying inside. Dads worried about money and how they would pay for the damage. Moms hid their anxiety and fear behind masks of cheerfulness.
