Everlasting Ice Cream

Story by Heather

I became everlasting when I ate some everlasting ice cream with my friends. One of my friends was Charlie and he loved ice cream so I said, “Let’s go to Candy Mountain Charlie.” Once we got there we saw every size, shape, and color of candy and ice cream. Charlie and I went straight for the rainbow ice cream, while our other friend Lizzy hated ice cream and she went straight for the jolly ranchers. After we had our fill, we decided to climb all the way to the top of the mountain and play tag. We were having so much fun when suddenly, Mr. Freak, the owner of Candy Mountain, pulled out a gun and shot poor Charlie. Lizzy and I screamed and closed our eyes, but then we heard Charlie laughing. We opened our eyes and there was Charlie, alive with no wounds! Mr. Freak was shocked and took another shot but this time at me! The bullet went straight through my cheek, and that’s why currently today you see holes on the side of my cheeks. Mr. Freak still couldn’t believe it so he took a third shot at Lizzy this time. Charlie and I burst out laughing when he shot Lizzy because we thought none of us could die, at the time. We immediately stopped laughing when we noticed she didn’t get up. I ran over to her and saw where she had been shot. It wasn’t a pretty sight. Charlie was really mad now, for one because he forgot to take his happy pills, and secondly because Lizzy was now dead. He grabbed Mr. Freak by his collar, and shook him violently then threw him off the mountain. We looked over the edge only to see another disgusting sight, Mr. Freak lying dead in the snow. Charlie dug a hole and we buried Lizzy, and then left Candy Mountain for good.
Once we got back home we talked about how strange it was that we got shot and didn’t die, but Lizzy got shot and she died. Then finally, I remembered that since Lizzy hated ice cream she never ate any. So because of that we figured out the ice cream we ate must be everlasting, and we could never die!
Years went by and we still never died. I went to many different places such as Florida, Hawaii, the Bahamas and many other tropical islands. Now, Charlie and I plan to take a group of our closest friends all the way to Candy Mountain to eat some everlasting ice cream, and live there forever.
