The Potion
byJeannea Lewis and Johanna Oduro
Hanna and Nea met in class in
Grade 3. They were introduced
to one another by a different
friend because they both loved
doing gymnastics and dances
at school at lunch.
One day they were walking
home from school and they
heard something coming from
a house and they went to check
if the person was alright. It was
a scientist who was making
a potion and it went wrong. A
virus spread to a gorilla and he
got sick, and then he turned
into a monster called Sicky.
Sicky lived in a dusty, messy,
gooey, nasty house in the
forest. Before he got sick, he
was going to make friends. He
didn’t know he was sick until he
started growing gooey things
on his face.
When Sicky went to the city,
everyone saw that he was a
monster and started running
from him. Nea and Hanna ran
to the gas station. They saw
some of their friends at the gas
station. They told their friends,
“Go home before you get sick
too. We will take care of Sicky.”
They went up to Sicky and said,
“Sicky please calm down, you’re
being very mad and scaring
them. You’re also making
people sick from your breath.”
