“Hey mate!” I heard Joel yell like he was in an altercation. I burbed while going on the door, and smelt a pungent smell. “Joel what happened to you!”
“That kid over there hit me with a snowball, and it really did hurt.” I was breath taken when I heard that happen.
“I will take care of this for you.” When I took off walking to the good I could hear every footstep around me like I was in some type of slowmo state. SMACK!! The snowball left a mark on my face. “You stupid little kid!” Off in the distance I heard a musket go off like a cannon shooting of the boat.

“Why did you just kill that poor child?”
“He hit you with a snowball with a rock in it.”
“Ohh I did not know that it had a rock inside of it.” All of the colonist on King Street began to throw snowballs at us, and before we knew it, it was all chaos. I kept hearing gunshots go off behind me.
“Shoot with all you got!” General Stone said.
“Yes sir, I will defend my country!” So, I pulled up my gun and shot towards the crowd of people. Before I knew it I shot Chrispas Attucks, a well known slave. I was very distraught when I see him fall down towards the grown. After it was all over the ground was covered in blood from the four guys that we have shot that lived in the town. Before I knew it a newspaper journalist wrote a paper about the brutal scene that had happened that day. The whole town was in a perishable mood the next day when the paper came
