Reflecting on my.....reflection.
So, I realize it is nearly 6am, but I felt impelled to post this for your reading pleasure. Being the insomniac that I am, I happened to dig through an old drawer full of my works/awards from Kindergarten-present instead of going to sleep and I found a piece of literature that I submitted to the Reflections program back in 2000-2001. The theme that year was "It would be really strange if....". Weird thing is, I have no recollection of writing this story whatsoever! It is entitled, "Spiderina's Revenge". (I will refrain from showing you the cover work.)" In the land of Cyberspace, there lived a young creature named Cyberpunk. Along came his faithful sidekick, Spylax. Well, this is how the story began! One day in Cyberspace, Cyberpunk and Spylax were eating Cybercakes and drinking some Cybercokies while listening to the radio. There was a news break during their favorite song. The second Cyberpunk heard the news that Spiderina was going to attack, Spylax went to report it to everyone in Cyberspace.
Later on in Spiderina's Lab, Spiderina is making spells and potions before she destroys Cyberspace. Meanwhile, everyone heard the news! "Everyone must leave now!" shouted Spylax. "Aren't you going to try to battle?" complained Lady Twinkle Legs, a former villain. Then, Cyberpunk barged in and yelled in happiness, "of course we are going to battle! Only quitters will leave! So who's with me?" By the time he finished, everyone left and only Spylax was there. "I have faith in you Cyberpunk," responded Spylax, "we'd better get going before it's too late!" "How will we destroy her?" asked Spylax. "You get some information while I think of a plan," said Cyberpunk. "Yes sir!" Spylax shouted.
While Spylax was gone, Cyberpunk ran into Spiderina! "Ha Ha Ha, so it's Cyberpunk! Don't even try to stop me nothing can defeat me! Ha Ha Ha!" "Cyberpunk, Cyberpunk! I got some information. All we need to do is gather up the Cyber Galactic Aliens! They have to say a special spell to kill her!" said Spylax. "How will we gather up the aliens?" Cyberpunk asked. "Well they live in the big dipper," responded Spylax.
In the speed of light, they were in the big dipper. "WHO ARE YOU?" the guards shouted. "Ummm....we're here to talk to the aliens!" Then the guards started whispering to a strange person. "Okay, you can come in," said the guards.
"Cyber galactic aliens we need your help! We have to destroy Spiderina!" Spylax shouted. "Well we can't. We're going on a vacation to CyberSpace," said the aliens. "As a matter of fact, Spiderina is going to destroy CyberSpace!"
Later on after a lot of explaining, the aliens was at CyberSpace getting ready to destroy Spiderina. Kaboom! Spiderina's guards came and the aliens were brain damaged! Luckily, a miracle happened. The master of the aliens fixed them up with a secret spell. The spell is complete and Spiderina is dead!
So the day is saved by Cyberpuink and his sidekick Spylax! The End.
Wouldn't it be strange if a spider destroyed the world?"
I kid you not......perhaps I was on "cybercrack" when I wrote this. I wonder who the person judging this piece thought. I know, I was quite the Charles Dickens of my 5th grade class lol.

I like it! I remember winning awards for these contests, too. One was for drawing a picture of our new elementary school and I think I got second place. Hah! I still shake my head and wonder since I lack any sort of drawing skill.
I really like your story, quite sophisticated for a fifth grader. I remember entering that same exact reflection contest. Hecka won first place at Kennydale for drawing a picture of a woman with dragonfly wings.
Hahhaha that sale is amazing and your birthday will always be around the opening day of it, so that's a plus!
I've gone back three times so far. Hahahaha.
