Mushy and His Bucket Lists

Mushy and His Bucket Lists - Victoria Min (Frank Vessels Elementary School, Fifth Grade)

Mushy and Micky plummeted from the sky, a tiny parachute blooming open above it like a fashionable umbrella. Micky, floated down, and yelled, “I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life!” 

Nearby, there were squirrels that stared at the mushrooms oddly. 

“I told you I could do it!” this time Mushy yelled, spinning mid-air. “No one believed me! The sky is mine!” 

With a soft thud, they landed gracefully, its parachute collapsing in a heap. It then gave a victorious wiggle. The squirrels shrugged, and went back to their acorns.

“Next on the list: skydiving with friends. Who's in?”
