As I opened my cupboard I had prayed that mum had bought the Speed Quick Strawberry Cereal. Since these cereals came out that enhanced your abilities tenfold I'd always hoped of getting the Speed Quick box. I'd had almost all of them; Bench More Blueberry (strength), Breathe Deep Banana (Breathe Under Water) and Leap Galaxy Lemon (Jump extremely high). I'd only get these boxes of cereal on special occasions because 1 they were extremely sugary and 2 very expensive.
As I started to open my brand new box of cereal. I started thinking of ways that I could use this brand new ability to my advantage. The hardest part was learning to adapt to them quickly before the time wore out. The abilities last for 2 hours and It usually took a while to learn how to use them.
A thought then occurred to him, he just remembered that it was the athletics carnival. Teachers would know that he would be using the cereal for sure if he was to go too fast but if he moderated his speed to be just fast enough to beat the others then today would be a breeze. He finished his cereal and felt his legs shoot out in spasm. He felt like he had drunk a store load of Red Bull, he had more energy than he had ever felt. He grabbed his bag and ran put the door. Within 30 seconds he was at the school. He awaited eagerly for the races. He finished 100m 400m and 800m in 1st place and destroyed several school records. But the energy started to fade and he felt his body become heavier and heavier. Until eventually he collapsed to the ground and fell asleep. The side affect came clear to him now the more you use the more tired you become. He dreamt of the next cereal his mum would pick up for him. He then thought after cheating at the athletics carnival and using the cereal to do so, he wouldn't be getting another box for a while, and he was not looking forward to going to school the next day.
