George The Elevator Man
2024 Write Now Winner - Grades 3 & 4
George, an elevator inspector, walked out of the doors of the Blue Hotel. George looked across the street and saw a white and gold balloon saying, “Follow me!” George was not the brightest person, so he followed the balloon into the forest, ignoring the danger along the way.
Twenty minutes into his journey, he came across a dark and foggy part the forest. Without thinking, he walked in. The first step he took, he fell right into a hidden hole and twisted his ankle from a slippery rock in the big hole. His ankle felt like needles were poking into his bones with pain. He surprisingly got to his feet, turned around and saw a shiny golden door knob. Instantly he opened it and was shocked at what he saw behind the door.
Right before his eyes, he saw beautiful trees made out of diamonds on a little round hill right below a bright sun. Then he heard a weird sound, so he slowly walked up the hill. He looked down and he saw little hot pink fur balls with bright orange eyes. Suddenly in a high pitched voice he heard “Hello”. Shyly George said “Hi” back. “We are the trolls of Slay Queen Land,” a stubby fat one said.
“Do you know how to fix elevators?” a troll asked. “Yeah that’s my job,” George replied.” “Ok then, you are now the King of Slay Queen Land.” “Why?” George asked curiously. “We are too short to fix an elevator, I mean look at us.” Another pink fluffy troll said.
George just found out that their names were, Billy, Blurple, Baby, and George’s personal favorite, Banana because he was round and stubby but most importantly, Banana was the kindest. Finally, there was the troll leader, Cheeto Puff.
Baby said in a begging voice, “If we don’t have the elevator we won’t be able to party on our cotton candy cloud, and if we can’t party we will become depressed.” “Ok,” George said with a sigh, “I will fix the elevator.” Cheeto Puff, the leader then said, “After you fix the elevator we will celebrate with lunch under a diamond tree.”
Shortly after their conversation George was escorted to the broken elevator. The elevator had broken after the trolls were jumping from excitement going to their troll party upon a cloud. After he fixed the elevator they had lunch at the park under a tree of diamonds. Lunch was not a normal lunch for George because the trolls only ate candy. That day George only ate Nutella that the trolls stole from Earth, lollipops that grow in the ground and gumdrops in a field over by the meadow that stretches beyond the chocolate river they use for hot chocolate. “I am sorry guys but I have to go home,” George sadly said. All of the trolls were screaming, “Do not leave us!” George explained, “It will be ok, you know I will come back.”
He saw the white and gold balloon and grabbed it. As soon as he grabbed the balloon he floated off. The trolls watched with tears in their eyes as George gracefully flew away. The end.
