Ned arrived at the camp and saw the camp constructer.” People who want to go on the tour please follow me” said the camp constructer. So Ned went on the tour. After the tour Ned found his room. Ned was unpacking and put his clothes in a cupboard, put sheets on his bed. He went outside and
Saw a scary storm. And there was a tornado and it was heading straight for the camp. Ned was too late and got sucked into the storm.

While he was in the tornado he got taken to the top and got spat out. Suddenly Ned blacked blacked out the camp constructer came over with a bucket of water and he poured it on his face.

With trembling hands Ned raced into the building then the camp constructer yelled “everyone inside!” Once the tornado was gone, Ned saw hurt old people. Ned walked to the hurt old people.

Then an old man grabbed Ned’s shoulder and said “have you seen a cupboard with mirrors on it.” “Yes it’s in my room.” said Ned. “That is why strange things are happening, because you have created a 4D dimension.” said the old man. Then Ned said “I’ve got two things to say to you, one how do you know? Two how did I go?” “Simple, I’m a scientist and by opening the cupboard it creates a 4D demotion

Ned raced inside to the cupboard when he got there he tried to catch the tornado but that didn’t work so he tried to reset it but it didn’t work. “You need to chop it then burn it.” said the scientist. “Good thing there is a axe in the storage.” said Ned. So he went to the storage and got the axe and went to his room. Then Ned said “Astavalista cupboard.” And chopped the cupboard and made a campfire at night. “HHHOOORRRAAAYYY” yelled everyone. Ned went look at the scientist but he wasn’t there.
