Shortlisted Creative Writing Competition 2016 Name: Edward School: Dover Court International School Age: 10 Word count: 267 We have one more chance I walk outside, the sun is shining, trees are blooming so just think You can change the world with just a blink so the world and us will link Do you like it when trees are giving you shade from the burning sun?
