I had just finnished reading a chapter in "The Princess Bride". We were at my gradparents because they had a generator. It turns out that it did'nt work. I was so bored. My mind is just droning on and on about the different things that come to mind when the power goes out. Like "When is the power comming back on?", or simply "It's hot." Mostly complaining. My grandparents were trying to talk to me, too bad I had my earbuds in. I took them out, "What?", I said. "Your Mom says that y'all are going to your cousins." Yes. They have power! Finally I can stop sweting. I started packing all of my stuff. My clothes, computer, books, makeup, and so on. The rain was still beating against the windows ans the wind was blowing the trees bare. The curfew started at dusk, which was now. We scurried to the car, crossed the highway and got there without running into policemen.
When we got there, we were greeted by friendly faces, and air conditioners. Thank God. I went and immediatly plugged in my computer. My Uncle David was cooking macaroni and cheese for everyone. My grandparents got there a little bit after us. We did'nt have internet or cable so we couldnt look on the news for updates. At least we had light. After dinner my cousin, Connor, invited me to play Xbox with him. How could I resist? While we were playing various games like Halo and Lord of the rings Conquest, everyone else in town did'nt have power. It was awesome. No more suffering in the heat.
After we got home, it turns out that we had never lost power. <3
Funny! You have some nice word choices here, like "scurried." I would like to see you focus in a little more and give vivid details on one scene. There is a little bit too much going on here for us to see any part of it clearly.
