The Palisadian-Post is highlighting winners of Pacific Palisades Library Association’s Summer Creative Writing Contest 2023, which had the theme “The Best Day.” Here is the first place piece in the scribblers category (grades one and two), written by Jack.
I woke up and looked around, my house is pink? This is not my color. I am a green inkling. The town is all pink. I have to find my best friend Inky.
As I run to our hideout I see Inky’s name on the splotches. I am so confused.
At the hideout Inky was waiting for me. He was so excited that he turned the town pink. I tell him that people are mad because their colors matter.
He looks around and understands that he made a mistake. He is so sorry and needs my help to fix it. I tell him we need to go to the king’s castle to get the golden blaster.
It was a tough journey. We had to go through the highest mountains past the World of Fun. We had to eat only healthy food and not be tempted by the sugary treats.
Then we went to the Blank Space where we ran away from the Blank Space Spots who were trying to erase us.
Finally we got to the castle and found the king. Inky tells the king the truth and asks for the golden blaster. The king agrees and tells us he is proud of us.
We go back to our town and fire a rainbow blast that changes all the colors back to normal. Everybody is so happy that they decide to throw us a surprise party! This has been the best day ever.
