Rosie Raindrop: Turbulent Waters

 One rainy day I Rosalyn (Rosie) Martha Raindrop fell to the ground at the point where the river thames starts.The first thing that I ever saw was a stone, a dark grey stone. I then rush off down the river. Stupendously sized  trees loomed over me creating shade for me. Soon I hear a sound that made me nervous, it sounded like a moo. When I look up I see a creature covered in black spots with milky white skin, it looked very cretinous. I stare at the creature and it stares back though it stared very stupidly with its big  brown eyes. The scenery was anything but stupid it was magnificent, with flowers of multiple colors ranging from red to purple all dancing in the cool breeze, there were massive trees filled with brown pinecones , at least I thought they were pinecones (I was born 45 minutes ago and I barely know anything what did you expect).

As I am flowing down the river I notice my surroundings, the area around me was mostly stodgy but every so often I saw animals like sheep, elks  and even the occasional billy goat. There were immensely large woodland area littered with pinecones it was calm and peaceful. I then start to notice other shapes that looked similar to me I go closer to investigate. The closer I get the more excited I am because they were raindrops like me. " Hi I am Rosalyn Raindropd but you can call Rosie" I verbalized " I am new here umm, what's your name?." " My name is Jimmy" the tall raindrop answered "and this is Tina "  then he pointed to an old raindrop."Hi sugarcakes" said Tina.  "This is  Storm " said Jimmy pointing to green haired raindrop.   " Hi Rosie I am Storm" she stuttered. " And this is William Timothy Robert the Fourth but we call him Billy Bob for short." "Hi Rosie"  Said Billy Bob.  I started notice thing about them, Jim was tall and helpful he was always helping anyone that needed it. Tina was short and a bit lazy but she was the most knowledgeable in the group, she was also the eldest. She has been around since the Triassic period ! Storm was timid and shy but she was the most interesting to talk to, she has tonnes of cool experiences all around the world from Egypt to New Zealand; wherever that was. Billy Bob had the weirdest hairdo I had ever seen, he called it a mullet. He also said that he was from this country called Australia every called him "Mullet Man" he was also very loud and talkative but he was also caring and nonchalant. Me and my friends spent hours talking to each other and the conversations were very fun. I learned the name of the river we were traveling on, Thames. Which in my opinion is a stupid name. I really enjoy their company, soon we are more than stranger they are friends I can rely on.

 The river was more calm the lights from the houses lit my way, the roars of motor engines were deafening, there were huge glass structures taller than anything that I have ever seen before. So this was London. " You know cities are dangerous" said Billy Bob. " People often pee on us  or even scoop us up" said Jimmy. "Thats awful" I replied. " What's even more awful is that" said Storm. I looked up and saw two guys, one was wearing clothes that covered all his body even his face, same with the other one except he was more menacing with a knife in his hand as told to me by Tina.  I asked " what's going on." " A fight" said Storm   "the other guy is gonna get stabbed."" But why" I said, " no raindrop knows why it just happens." " oh no the other guy is getting stabbed" I said. " Such is life" said Jimmy and then we went along our journey. As we went lower in the river, it started getting more rundown the air was filled with smog that was as black as coal and there was rubbish all on the ground, the people were gloomy and even behaved horribly to each other yelling, fighting and even stealing the water was calm yet murky. But soon the water started getting brutal. The sand from the river bed was spreading around the river and blinded and then I got sucked into a whirlpool. I was trapped and dizzy. I was nearly deaf from all the frantic yelling from my friends and other raindrops. To my shock and horror I realised that little raindrop children were in the whirlpool. Tears ran down their eyes like little waterfalls it was laborious to watch, It was very bumpy in the whirlpool multiple raindrops had terrible bruises everywhere, some were even unconscious dead or dying even me. I felt terrible I had a black eye and severe bruises on my body and worst of all I was paralysed. I couldn't move, every part of my body was extremely heavy and I was starting to lose consciousness. I saw something that inspired me to fight. My friends. They were trying to save me I must fight to stay alive.

My friends then came to me with a rope made out of algae they threw it at me then pulled me out. I was so tired that I fainted. When I regained consciousness, the whirlpool was gone and my friends were there looking at me. I was so happy that they had saved me. The rest of my journey was calm and went smoothly, it truly was a fun adventure.
