At around 2:00 a.m. we went up the street to our friend’s house with our equipment, two knives, two spoons, tons of fireworks, and a video camera.

The silverware was so we could dig holes into the ground and stick roman candles into the holes. We placed smoke bombs and strobe lights everywhere possible on the driveway. We got the camera set because we wanted to video tape the whole thing (once we lit the fireworks, we were going to book it out of there). However, it ended up that the cameraman accidentally pressed the record button a second time, thus the camera stopped recording however it was still a great experience.

I was only able to light off 3 smoke bombs and 1 strobe light and this is why:

1. There were flashes all around me.
2. I couldn’t see because of all the smoke.
3. My friend was yelling, “RUN! RUN! RUN!” however nobody was going anywhere so I was in a daze of what to do.

As we were running up the street one of my friends noticed that one of the parents was chasing us, but they stopped at the end of the street. We pretended like we didn’t know anything when we talked to our friend or his family but eventually the next day, we confessed and helped clean the mess up. You may be wondering, why? But there could have been serious consequences. That and we could have been grounded.
