The REVERSE CARD
Prologue
Snow covered all that Stephanie could see very soon. Snowflakes that sparkled as beautiful as diamonds surrounded her. She was worried that everyone would get sick. She quickly told everyone to find shelter. Her face was covered thoroughly with cold, white snow. Stephanie had suddenly remembered she had to escape this and make the world back to normal...but how? 2 Days Earlier “Stephanie! Wake up! It’s time for school!” Stephanie woke up groggy-eyed as everyday. She always had her “kind” wake up call in the morning. Her mom was always in a rush. “Coming,” yelled Stephanie. Stephanie was super excited for winter break. She just had to wait and get through today. Stephanie was your usual fifth grader. She had long blonde hair and big green eyes. Her mom always said that she was a very bold girl. Stephanie put on her warm pink and blue jacket. She put on her fuzzy brown scarf and looked at the mirror. “I look like a potato with all this clothing on! Ugh, when will winter get over!” Stephanie told herself. She got downstairs and her mother greeted her. “Good morning Stephanie! I have made you some French toast. Get the sugar and whipped cream while I go get your younger sister to wake up.” Once Stephanie had gotten all the food ready, Zara came downstairs. She was the worst sister ever! “Good morning, potato! How are you liking winter?” Zara asked in her annoying voice. She was like the salt on the wound, always being the one who ruins everything. Zachary came running down the stairs. Zachary was always in a hurry, just like mom. He was also quite bewildered when he saw Stephanie. “Is it dress up like the moon day?” Zachary asked as he grabbed an apple from the fruit basket. Stephanie asked, “I literally prepared your french toast plate with the whipped cream and sugar! What are you doing!?” Zachary complained to Stephanie’s mom in his babyish tone of voice, “Stephanie is forcing me to eat the french toast!” You might be wondering, usually the younger siblings tell their parents about this kind of stuff that the older siblings do, but in this household, it was always the other way around. “Well more for me to eat…” mumbled Stephanie.
