The John

John ran as fast as he could. It was field day at Springfield Oklahoma. The sweat fell harder on his face. He tried to run faster but he couldn’t. When the race was done…... he found out he got 2nd to dead last. Than it happened. Every boy in his grade except for the boy who he beat started to make fun of him then he got so mad…. he ran and he kept running and running until he was clear out of town. Then he kept running until he got tired and stopped at a forrest preserve and laid his weary head down to rest. Then John lived the rest of his life in the woods and there were so many stories about how he lived his life , and could go on and on…. but i can’t .
