Shrek's Swamp

Shrek's Swamp

Written by: Greyson Lindeman and

It was a delightful day with no sun
and zero clouds. I was so bored that I
could devour my toenails, so I went
for a hike down the swamp trail with
only a water bottle.

I was staring at this ugly green swamp
with bugs and a crocodile and an onion. I
saw about 1,245 toenails in the SWAMP!
While I was counting the 1,245 toenails I was
on 1,244 and a bug went in my nose and now
I lost count, and I can’t get it out.

Then I discovered an odd sound coming
from the swamp. It felt like a cinematic
moment in a movie where there was a wild
BOOM! While I turned my head I saw
nothing, my legs were in serious trouble and
I stumbled into the swamp.

As I was in the swamp, I could feel
every toenail press against my body, the
tip sharp like a knife stabbing my legs
and arms. I could smell disgusting green
onions and the green toenails. So I got
up and out of the swamp to go home and
shower, and I smelled like an old ogre the
whole way home.

Once I finished showering, I realized
something was missing. I could not find
my bag so I looked everywhere for it then
I realized, “I LEFT IT AT THE SWAMP.”

I went back to the swamp and tried to look for
it all around, but I couldn't find it.

I thought I left it in the swamp. It wasn't there I
went into the swamp and everything now I smelled
again, but it did not matter because I needed to get
that bag!

Then I saw a cabin nearby. It was very small, and I
had a thought that my bag would be in there.
Every step I got closer to the cabin it smelled worse
than the swamp-like onions, rotten eggs, and toenails.
Then I heard something say, “Stop.”
it was too quiet. Then I heard it again. “STOP!” As I
looked back slowly, my heart was in a serious pace. Then
I saw this green thing coming out of the swamp.

“MY NAME IS SHREK!”

I fainted on the ground.
I woke up, and I saw this green ugly
monster. He gave me the bag and I fainted
once again.
I woke up again, then I grabbed my
bag and sprinted out there faster than the
speed of light.
As I run off
I hear him say “What were you doing
in my SWAMP?”
I could finally say that today was the
weirdest day of my entire life.
