The hailstorm

THE HAILSTORM AT SCHOOL!

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

On the day of HALLOWEEN there was a HAILSTORM [dun dun dun]! It felt cold, like you were in the freezer! I heard thunder rolling and I saw a car go boom into a giant rock! I felt like it was the end of me [NOOO]! I shivered when I felt the wind go through my hair! Everyone went CRAZY!
