"A Lucky Accident"
Hi, my name is Sam Spring and this is the story of how my life changed forever. It Was one regular Friday afternoon, my pal Jodie and I were on our way home from another uneventful day at school when to our surprise, an old wooden truck flew past us, at what I thought was way over the speed limit.
At first I thought he was going straight onto the highway, but at the last second he tried to turn left onto Genders Boulevard and slammed into the corner of Minuzzos' Pizza Place spilling a strange green liquid onto the road from the yellow drums on the back of his truck. My friend Jodie must have seen the accident coming or something because by the time the truck had crashed she had already gotten herself out of the spill radius of the liquid. But I wasn't as lucky, by the time I had realised what had just happened I was already covered from head to toe in a luminescent green liquid.
My first reaction was 'Gross' but then I realised that I had to wash this stuff off of me encase it was toxic or something. So I ran to my house, which wasn't really that far but by the time I had got into the bathroom all of the liquid that had splashed on me only remained on my clothing. That was when I really started to freak, as my skin was no longer covered in green liquid but was glowing from normal coloured to a bright green colour that could have lit up a pitch black room.
At that moment Jodie came bursting in to the bathroom, obviously she had been concerned for me after I just ran disappeared like that, but when she came in she looked around the room and stared straight through me as if I wasn't even there. That was the first time I realised that I could blend in to my surroundings like a chameleon...
