This is for Storyworks, the silliest kids magazine in the world. A story about the earthquake of 1812, as prompted by Storyworks.
Oakaby, a tall 14 year old boy-thingy (this feels like I'm describing a felon) was playing with his hula-hoop, as he had been doing for the past 6 years, when the earthquake came. Before then, Oakaby's life in Portland had been relatively normal, boring, and back-braking. So when the Earth split open and the ground began to shake, Oakaby got quite a surrr-pras. in his panic, he thought the best thing to do would be to hide under his bed-thing. His mother thought that might be a bit less smart and instructed him to go outside. Once the "Hard Shock"' came on February 7, 1812, Oakaby got a hard shock. his mother (he didn't have a father) was crushed under falling rubble. Oakaby's matres-thing was thrown out the window, so he decided it would be safer on the water. So he took afloat on his matres-thing downstream. 2 days later he arrived in Olympia, Washington, where he met his foster parents, Nan and Gup.
See Storyworks!? See what you made me do!?
