My son's first short story in 5th grade

Here is Gavin's short story he wrote for the Creative Writing Contest.  It is all totally his thoughts and words.  The contest asked for a piece that is less than 800 words.  This one was just over a thousand words so we had to edit it.  Enjoy his unedited version.  He even put in one of our ancestors into his story.  It is his attempt at historical fiction.  I loved it.  I hope he keeps up his writing. Enjoy!
