Weather stories

I was walking down my road when it started raining. 'Oh no', I thought to myself, 'I have cross country today'. At school it started hailing as we began the race. 20 miles of non-stop running in the hail can cause a guy to see things. As I was running it suddenly got really hot and everything went hazy. I turned around to look at my friend but instead of a forest a white hall stretched behind me as far as the eye could see.

I then noticed my friend was staring at something ten feet above me.
'Do you come from the world of the rain and light and heat?' he asked.
' If you mean earth, yes.' For some reason I wasn't scared but I was still cold. 'Could you take me back?'
'Yes, if you bring sun into this world i will free you.'
'Ok, here, you can have this torch, it will be light.'
'Thanks!'
He then muttered something under his breath and suddenly I was at the end of the race with Johnny, the school's fastest boy. Eveyone was cheering me on so I started running - and I won. I became the fastest boy to ever run the 20 mile cross country.
