The spooky houseLewis got tramped in a spooky house. It felt like a pumpkin soul raising at the dare of night. Then a witch flying in the air, singing terrifying songs to scare you away.

Lewis felt like a pumpkin getting covered after bed time.

Every thing began to fall on the floor. The lights went out and the door was jammed.

He looked everywhere then he saw a hole in the corner. He heard thunder crashing down. Suddenly when he got out of the hole, the house fell to bits!

There was a box of doughnuts, he loved doughnuts. In a flash they were gone because he ate them all in one second. He never went back.

Liverpool vs ChelseaOne day there lived a little boy who loved football and his name was called Dylan. He had brown hair and he is 9 years old and he loves football.He was going to see Liverpool at Anfield. They are going to play Chelsea. It is as big as a hotel. It is like the biggest stadium in Liverpool. He could smell the mud every time the ball came to their side.

When they got in the bus there were no seats left. So they had to stand up and it was big, shiny and very clean. There were no scratches on the bus at all. When they were in the big tunnel and it was very dark. There some people on there bikes going under the tunnel.

When they got out of the bus they saw the big stadium there was no one there. So they looked outside, the drinks and the toilet. But there was loads of rubbish on the floor. The lights went out side the stadium.

So Dylan went in the middle of the pitch on the grass. There were lots of birds flying past the stadium and the door swung shut and they were still flying past. When the door slammed the lights went out. All you could see was the bright football. Dylan could see the birds flying past. When all the birds where flying past one of them dropped a key down and it landed on the big, bright ball. Then he shouted, “Mum! Dad! I’ve found a key.” Then he ran to the door and opened the door for them. They went home together and we got some coke from the shop.

The Boy and the Burj Khalifa

Once upon a time there was a boy called Oli who loved the Burj Khalifa, he always wanted to visit it. Slowly, every day Oli Flynn took his time building it out of lego, playdo, plasticine and clay because he thought it was the best thing ever. One day Oli Flynn was looking at the Burj Khalifa on images that is on his computer until his dog Oscar came along. Oli Flynn said, “Hi,” in a very sweet voice. The dog said, “Woof!” in a very low, doggy voice.

Olif Flynn heard his mum say on the phone that he is going to climb the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The thing that he didn’t know is who is on the phone because that was the person who was bringing him.

Oli then heardthat the trip to the Burj Khalifa was cancelled because it was raining like a shower (that is in your bathroom). But it was fine in England. It was like a hot summers day. The next day, Oli Flynn walked into school sighing like an old Granny and was as upset as a poor person. Let alone, Oli Flynn sat at his desk with his elbows on the table and his chin on his hands.

At school, he then heard that there will be a school trip to Dubai! They all went for just two pounds! Oli Flynn saved up his pocket money.

Oli went to Dubai and he went up the Burj Khalifa and there was treasure up there!

Trapped with the CatOnce upon a time there lived a little boy called Jo. Jo lived in a small house with his mum and dad. One day he went to the beach and he heard a howl. Jo thought it was just his imagination but it was not! Then he heard his friend so he thought if he should go inside the lighthouse or go and play with his friend. He thought to go inside the lighthouse.

Quickly he tried to find a way in. Then he found a ladder so he started climbing it. Jo felt scared but he had to find what caused that howl. Halfway up the ladder he started to slip. Five minutes hanging there he finally he reached the top. Because there was no light he kept on touching the walls, then he pushed open a door and he saw a cat.

Suddenly the wind came and blew the door shut. The cat and Jo were stuck and the lights went out. It was dark. Jo felt scared. Jo thought of something he could do. So he put his hands on the wall and went round trying to find a way out. Then he found a secret passage way. When Jo went thought the secret passage way he found some stairs.

When he came to the top he saw a huge light. So Jo put it on and off for a signal for SOS.

Suddenly an old, ugly and angry lady came in and then saw Jo. The old lady then saw the cat. So she said to Jo that he could have the cat because he looked after it. So from now on they went to each others houses.

The caveWorriedly, a boy went in a cave filled with rats, bats, mice with a little black lake. There were loads of glow worms crawling. There were little rocks and fossils with some fish in the lake. There are bugs. Bats were flying down to get the bugs. Deep in the cave it smelt like bat droppings. The cave was hard with spikes on top the roof. It looked dark the monstrous cave was pitch black. Deeper and deeper you got in, each time you walked the would be a squashing noise. The bugs were flys, millapieds, sentapeads, spiders, glowworms, spiders and tarantullas. The bats made a squeaking noise. The bats see the bugs and eat them. It is a maze. A boy could stuck in the cave.

The boy couldn’t find a way out. He turned around but there iswas a light hining on the boy. It was high up on the roof. So he tried to phone someone but there was no signal. He was terrified. He couldn’t breathe so he jumped but it didn’t work.

He got up some rocks and stacked them up. He got out the cave but fell back in! The boy went in a cave and went, “Eeeny meeny miny mow”. He went in the cave. It was right so he got in and there was a room of diamonds, crystals, rubies, emeralds and gold and silver. When he got them he forgot it was his birthday. His mum and dad popped out and shouted, “Surprise!”

The Plane of Terror“Ohh ohh (snoring), all right all right, I’m getting up!” muttered Simon .“ Come on where going to be late!” shouted Simon’s mum. After 14 minutes and 297 seconds Simon and his mum where both ready . “Oh yes I simply cant wait! Don’t forget 3 weeks of school exactly!” said Simons’ mum. “That’s not exactly a good thing is it…” said Simon.“Oh yes that reminds me, we’ll have to pick some one up from the airport,” sadly said Simon’s mum. “The airport smells like water from the pool. What are we waiting far let’s go!” said Simon.

15 mins later they were in the car near the motorway. “Oh how much longer?” yawned Simon.“Why don’t you just go to sleep?” asked Simon’s mum.“Ha, I have already,” said Simons.

4.51.16 later Simon had woken up.Soon after they had checked out and got something to eat. “Right ho, Justin, we should be boarding.”Three minutes later they got on. After 20 minutes Simon said to Simon’s mum, “We’re going to hit a bit of turbulence.” “Ok!!!” Justin started to play on his iphone 4s when it went flying out of his hand. Then the plane went straight down to Brazil’s biggest rain forest. Four minutes later twelve people were seriously injured. One of them was Simon. Then into the ground came the back wing of a plane which happened to be off their plane. Justin and Simon’s mum was in terror. Simon wouldn’t make it out alive. She could feel the blood pulsing in her ears.

After 6.31.9 seconds a rescue helicopter spotted them and lowered the ladder. They rescue only the injured. Now Simon

was off to hospital. It went back and got another chipper to come soon after. Twenty minutes later Simon was in hospital and another helicopter came back. After three hours everyone was about to get a shock.

Suddenly, the managed of British airways came up to them! “We crashed the plane deliberately and well it was just to check how many would have died if it had really crashed. So I apologise.”The next day he was arrested for the murder of one. Then nobody every went back to British airways again because of that day.

TrappedWhen the clock struck 8, quietly Emily stepped a foot out of her front door. The huge black door made a shadow in the moonlight. Emily scampered to the library as confidently as a horse. Suddenly she stopped and slowly looked up to the cold dark library. She felt like everybody in the world was forcing her to go in. At that moment the world stopped. It felt like everybody was watching her do it. Slowly she took three deep breaths and scuttled up the steps.

Slowly, Emily, who was feeling confident, walked six steps into the library. Quickly she looked up at all of the books in the library. Clumsily she tripped up on a stick so she rolled over and shuffled to the shelf that she wanted. After half an hour later she heard a slamming noise. She ran to the front door of the library and looked through the glass door into the empty streets. Slowly a tear dropped down her face.

She hid behind the library desk. She was locked in! She tried opening the door but it just wouldn’t work. Slowly Emily slumped into a chair and fell asleep. She had a dream about banging the door until it opened. In the morning she heard some little footsteps. She looked up and realised that she was surrounded by children. “Hello who are you?” asked Emily curiously. “We are the library children,” they explained. As soon as they said it they were gone. Emily didn’t know what to say or do. Suddenly she rushed to the back of the library and looked out of the glass window.

Chanting Emily punched the air with delight. She had found a way out but she had to ring the council first. What she was going to do was: climb a ladder to the top of the library and break the glass. Slowly she climbed to the top of the ladder and took three deep breaths. Quickly she punched the glass and looked over the tree tops. Slowly she swung her legs over and slid down the roof.

At that moment she slumped both feet on the ground and started walking. By the time she had got to the middle of the street she saw a pile of books on her doorstep. Whoever it was they had left a note saying, “I am sorry we didn’t see you again, we had to go to bed, love from the library children.” Slowly she yanked open the door handle and kicked all of the books inside. “Where have you been all night we have missed you?” admitted Emily’s dad. “I have been locked in the library all night!” said Emily in confidence. She slowly walked into the living room and put her feet up on the fresh sofa!

One Direction in my house!Shockingly, when I woke up I heard foot steps coming up the stairs, so I sat in my bed and waited for the person to come in. I thought it would be my mum so I just waited. But when they came in it wasn’t my mum it was ONE DIRECTION! They all looked great except Niall, Niall didn’t look that good. I asked him if he felt well and he said, “I’m fine but I have a cough though!”

I just remembered that I have a cough so I could give it to any of the One Direction members such as, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and even more to Niall! I thought it was my lucky day because I nearly fainted when I saw One Direction and obviously Harry! I asked Harry why they were there and he said, “Because you’re meant to be sick!”

So I quickly ran down stairs and asked my mum, “Did you invite One Direction to my house because I was sick?” “Yes I did,” my mum said! I thought I could hang around with One Direction but I just had to stay in bed all day! I was bored so we decided to sneak out the house.

We tried sneaking out the window and you probably thought that didn’t work but it did. My mum was too busy watching Coronation street! So we probably could have gone through the front door but too late. We went to the sweet shop and got some sweets but then Harry didn’t feel that well so we had to go back home, back to my house.

We came back in through the window. Harry had to lie in my bed but I didn’t care only if it made him better! I gave him chicken soup to make him better and in a few hours he was back to normal. One Direction sang a song for us at dinner they sang one thing and then they had to go home after I went to bed. But luckily I got a kiss off all the One Direction members! So I called that the best day ever!

The Terror StoryWhen the clock struck one, recklessly Lily sneaked down to the spooky old lighthouse , because she heard a little, poor growl. The black shadow stood in the sea like a soldier. It was as abandoned as a house that’s been knocked down . Violently, the sea crashed, bashed and splasd the sides of the stone statue. Every time Lily moved she felt as though the lighthouse was following her. She heard a faint noise. She scampered over the rocks to reach the lighthouse. Lily though it looked like a never ending ladder to hell.

Slowly, Lily, who was feeling very scared, began to climb the slippery, old ladder. She clenched her fists against it and watched her knuckles whiten. The ladder was as slippery as seaweed. Suddenly, Lily screamed, louder than a giant’s foot hitting the ground. Muttering to herself, Lily tried to pull herself up, lost her grip and kept on slipping. After two minutes hanging there, Lily got a better grip and climbed on up to the lighthouse door.

When Lily got to the door she looked up and saw the lighthouse was as dark as a cocoon. At that moment, Lily thrust open the giant rusty door . It was as mouldy as rotten milk, with ants crawling across the scratchy wood. Inside, to her amazement, she saw a poor, little dog, who was wagging his tail looking at its reflection. As Lily opened the door, he limped towards her. Lily felt like she had made a best friend, but she also felt guilty. All of a sudden, mystically, the ladder came loose . It crashed to the roc , as loudly as screaming, and fell into pieces . At the same time, the door swung shut . It was pitch black. Lily felt scared

Panicking, Lily pushed around the walls to find a exit. Just when she was going to give up looking finally she found an exit. She ran for it but sadly she just hit a giant light bulb. Right behind her there were an old woman gazing up at her, shouting, “Get out of my light house!” She was really grumpy but she was really nice in the end and she showed her out of the light house. Lily was really happy

The Dentist’sNervously Molly kicked open the glass door to the dentist and followed her dad inside. They sat down a long padded seat. Molly stared round. “When are we going home she whined. “When you have seen the dentist,” said her Dad. On the wall there were paintings of the dentist although some of them looked like Mr Blobby. On the table in the centre of the room there was a big pile of colouring books and magazines. Molly didn’t feel like colouring in let alone a fairy.

The door swung open and Molly’s name was called by the dentist. But the dentist looked hideous. She was like the hunch back. She was that dirty and hideous! Molly didn’t want to go near the room was as cold as the winter. Molly sat down on the most comfortable chair ever. The dentist said, “Open your mouth.” Molly refused but Molly had no choice because the dentist forced open the girl’s mouth.

Then the dentist opened up her box and got tweezers and put them in her mouth. She squeezed it. Just then they heard a crack and that shouldn’t have happened. The dentist had done the wrong thing! Just then Molly felt her tooth come out and there was a crack, smash and creak.

But Molly felt relieved because in her school every body shouted at her. Just then Captain Crunch came in and said, “What’s the matter is anybody hurt?” Dad said, “No it’s all sorted silly, oh wait! I will have your autograph.” Dad laughed but Captain Crunch thought he meant it. But Dad said, “I’m only joking.” Just then, Molly butted in and said at least that it was not more serious.

Just then the dentist butted in and took off her face! Just then it was her mum! Molly was surprised. She said, “Well then if you’re mum, who is that?”

15


Just then Mr Crunch took off his wig and it was Grandad. She was so surprised that she said, “Let’s go to McDonalds.” So they did and lived happily ever after.

A Rubbish HolidayIt was a sunny, bright day and Luke was in the airport at 9:00am. Luke was going to Disneyland Paris for 4 days.“OOOO I’m so exited” screeched Luke. To be honest Luke’s Mum and Dad were pretty exited as well. Luke’s flight was at 12:00. Quickly Luke jumped and was gazing at the clock, it read 10:30. Although it was only early Luke could still see the giant, colourful planes, out of the huge glass window. Luke saw loads of giant, colourful planes,“WOWZERZ!” shouted Luke, with amazement,“There big aren’t they Luke” said Luke’s Mum.

When suddenly all of these people came running down the never ending terminal. Luke jumped and jumped, until he couldn’t carry on and lost his energy. Luke looked at his hands and watched his knuckles whiten. Fearfully Luke jumped back and felt scared. Also Luke felt terrified, because he’d never been in this situation before.“ARRGGHH” where are Mum and Dad?.

At that moment Luke realized he was lost. He couldn’t believe it he was lost. Were could his parents be? Suddenly a big crowd of people had gone and the terminal was empty, completely empty. Luke walked sadly down the terminal and walked up the escalator. He watched other families have fun and laugh. Luke felt scared frightened and terrified at the same time. The blood was pulsing in his ears like a drum. To Luke’s amazement he saw his mum and dad. They couldn’t see him though. Luke ran down and then suddenly realized it was a old woman and a old man. So he sat down on a long padded seat and waited.

In the end Luke found his parentsAnd then on he held his mums hand!

The Night the Robbers Called

Confidently Ethan Russell was working at his aunties house, when she gave him a toy car but the thing she didn’t know was there was a computer chip in the car which was in the hands of criminals. When Ethan got home he looked through his telescope and he saw frightfully a criminal in his friend Leah’s house. He got his mum to call the police but no body believed him. The police searched the whole house but no one was there.

Happily, his mum said, “Stay here, I am going to the shops to get lots of stuff. Be safe and good.” Ethan thought, “No body can get through me and no body hurts my town.” He looked through his telescope and saw two criminals outside his friend’s house. He got scared and shut every door and every window. The robbers left until the morning.

Eventually the criminals skipped his house and went to his other owner’s house. He gathered marbles, boxing gloves and stuff he needed and got trap building. Scarily, the robbers twisted the door handle but the robber burnt his hand and flamed his hand. Suddenly the robbers knifed the door open. Ethan was so worried he could hear his blood pulsing in his ears.

Funnily. one of the robbers slipped on the welcome home mat in a clatter and thump. Ethan laughed and laughed his head off. Amazingly, one of the robbers screamed with scariness because of a poor daddy long legs spider. He fainted and the spider crawled down his pants! With a whack with a base ball bat, the robber screamed because the other robber hit him in the wrong place. They ran up stairs and growled, “I’ll get you now, little punk!” Ethan shouted,

18


“That’s what you say!” He threw his cans of paint at them on strings. Ethan laughed and ran in his bedroom.

Amazingly, Ethan called his mum and the police. He gave the computer chip to the police and they gave him £1000. So he went to Toys R Us and bought lots of toys. The robbers got arrested and never seen again.

TrappedWhen the moon came out the wolf howled, Lewis sneaked into the lighthouse and heard a dog barking, so he climbed up the rusty old ladder the shadow on the water like a soldier. It was as dark as a cave with bats in so he went in and the lights flickered.

Slowly Lewis, who was very frightened, began to climb the old rusty ladder of death. He clenched his fists to it and began to watch them whiten. The ladder was as slippery as seaweed suddenly he saw the ladder had dry blood on it. It was so scary he felt like he was going to faint, so he fainted. He woke up. After two minutes he lost his grip.

When Lewis got to the door he looked up and saw the lighthouse as dark as killer whale. Lewis elbowed the door open. I was as mouldy as rotten cheddar cheese, with maggots rotting on it. Inside, to his amazement, he saw a dog. As Lewis opened the door, the poor dog limped to him as if he had made a new friend. All of a sudden the slimy ladder crashed to the ground like a giant stamping, and fell into pieces. At that moment the door swung shut. Lewis felt frightened.

Panicking, Lewis pushed around the room to find a door. Suddenly he bumped into a big metal door so he elbowed it open. There was a seat so he had a rest but the seat moved. He just realised it was a slide. “Wheeee!” When he got to the top, it took him to the big light. It was at the top of the lighthouse. At that moment, Lewis heard a loud crashing up the stairs. Trembling, he hid behind the big bright light. The little cat heard a voice from behind the door. “Blast you! Who’s been in my lighthouse?” The voice growled like a lion coming. She crept up and said, “I will call the police! Oh! Look at that! You found my cat, thank you so much. Come and have some hot chocolate.”They lived happily ever after.

The holidayOne morning, early as dawn, a boy, who was called Billy, was just getting up when he remembered he had booked a holiday for that morning. Quickly he put on some clothes and rushed downstairs for his breakfast. The main problem downstairs was choosing which cereal to have, cherries or Weatabix, two lovely options. Billy ran back upstairs thinking what he was doing packing a hat, a scarf and a pair of gloves. He was going to Hawaii. Billy was so tired he felt like a rotten bag of potatoes. Billy began to wonder why his mum was still not up. Billy talked to her about it. Billy got told the flight wasn’t until lunch.

The time had come for Billy to head of to the airport. In front of Billy was Manchester airport. It seemed much bigger than last time because last time he went he was three years of age. The sound of walking and running to the right plane blew Billy’s eardrums. Billy walked, as slow as a tortoise crossing a road, while his mum walked as quick as a hare crossing a road. Billy’s bags got took by staff and put on a big pile of luggage for the people who were going to Hawaii. It seemed to be Hawaii was a very popular holiday destination.

Billy walked through security and into the proper part of the airport. There were snack bars, snack machines but best of all a great view of the taking of field. You could see all the planes coming into land and taking off. Billy could watch that all day. Suddenly a passenger announcement came up. Billy turned his head round slowly and heard the speaker say to him that the plane to Hawaii was delayed for five hours because of snow blocking off Hawaii. Billy thought, “Snow really? In Hawaii? It’s summer there and it is also very unlikely for you to see snow in Hawaii.” Billy got a bag of crisps and continued looking of at the waterfall. Literally nothing could disturb him.

22


Suddenly, a great idea came into Billy’s head. I know what to do if only I could…Grandma! Billy begged his mum and begged her. “Can we go to Grandmas?”“Can we?”“I wanted to go to Grandmas and I do more!”Thanking his mum, Liam jumped up and down.The third time his mum said yes but when they got there Billy realised it was three hours only he had to wait so he said. “Grandma can you knit me fifty scarves?” “I can but not right now,” replied his Grandma. Billy knew he would have to do it himself so he knitted fifty scarves in the time of two hours. He ran to the airport and covered the plane in scarves and even a hat for a bonus. Billy had thought about gloves for the wings but decided not to. Happily, he got the driver, shown him and the driver took off.

Billy’s plane came into sight of Hawaii and Billy already found himself boiling. Billy thought, “Where’s the snow?” The driver replied, “Right here according to my HTC phone.”Well never check weather on an HTC phone. That is a valuable lesson. The plane came down and into landing. Billy could not resist but have a lolly pop. Billy’s mum preferred popping candy and made Billy jealous. So next time the driver pilot did not use the HTC weather system.

LFC versus EFCOnce there was a game. It was Everton versus Liverpool and all the footballers were coming out. All the fans were very excited. Felani pulled faces at Gerrard like a tiny girl. Someone threw a piece of paper at Felani and it said ‘loser’. The first 3 seconds of the match Jelavic head butted Agger and his head was bleeding. He went to the manager. To the manager, he said, “No big one but my heads bleeding.” “Sir you’re fired,” replied the manager.

Gerrard had the ball in his own danger area. He booted it like a car and Suarez had the ball. What a goal! Suddenly Everton fans were booing and Jelavic walked like a failure, then Felani had the ball like a balistic mouse. When he had one more minute left, Reina got the ball. He chipped it in. Brilliant goal! But then it was all over. Steven Gerrard did a roly poly as a celebration.

The roasted field miceQuietly a little burrow at the end of the field lived five small helpless mice. At the other end of the field lived a kind hearted farmer, who was mowing his lawn, when all of a sudden something hit him (an idea). He should plant flowers in all of the holes in the garden. He headed for the lonely mice hole. Luckily they were out looking for food (preferably cheese). You could smell the fresh breeze. The mice came back with three crumbs. They weren’t very lucky today, but when they came back there was a human outside. They were confused with what was happening to their beloved home. Where would they live? What would they do? Their blood was pulsing in there ears.

The farmer saw the farmer and speedily over took him because he was getting old and his bones were rickety. The mice thought, “He wrecked our house, so let’s wreck his. Let’s go!” The mice got into his house and they had diseases so the man screamed and jumped on to a stool and let his wife Shelia dealt with it. She was petrifying. Shelia made people faint, freeze and wobble.

Carefully the mice gnawed away on the cage and ran on the farmer’s bed. All of a sudden he realised he had planted a flower on their mouse hole. That’s why they harassed him. The mice scuttled towards mice hole and pulled out the plant they were happy apart from the worms.

The farmer realised the mice weren’t mice at all. They were rats. Where were the mice? He looked at his wife who was roasting them. The farmer shouted, “ROAST THE RATS NEXT TIME!”

The lighthouse and the puppyThe lighthouse stands like the leaning tower of Pisa. It is creepy like a troll that’s just awoken. It stands in the sea like an elephant under water. Eleanora climbed down to the lighthouse. Painfully, the sea crashed and smashed and trashed the lighthouse. Eleanora felt like someone was going to kidnap her. She kicked them but no one was there. She twisted her leg. She looked up and she saw a ladder. She couldn’t touch it.

Slowly Eleanora, who was felling very scared, began to climb the slimy old ladder. She clenched her fist against it and watched her knuckles whiten. The ladder was as slippery as seaweed. Suddenly, Eleanora heard noises as if someone was spying on her. When she got halfway, her feet slipped and Eleanora yelled, louder than a big pig hitting the mud. Creeping to herself, Eleanor tried shoving her self up. She tried getting a grip but she couldn’t and kept falling. After 3 seconds hanging there, Eleanor got a better grip and clambered on up the lighthouse door.

When Eleanora got to the creepy door she looked up from the ground. She saw the old lighthouse, it was as dark as thunder. At that moment Eleanora kicked open the rusty old door. But then slimy old worms jumped on her and wriggle on past a floorboard inside. To her astonishment, she saw a poor, cute puppy crying. The poor puppy was starring. As Eleanora opened the door, a poor whimpering puppy came out. Eleanora felt sorry for the puppy and slowly a tear came down Eleanora’s cheek. All of a sudden, magically the ladder crashed. It was loud as a bomb about to explode. At the same time the door swung shut. It was pitch black. Eleanora felt terrified!

Panicking, Eleanora pushed violently around the old walls to see if she could get out. Meanwhile, she headbutted into a metal door. “Owwww!” she said, moaning. She grabbed the

27


dog and unlocked the door with her key. When she went through she found a slimy old ladder which was slippery mould. Eleanora knew she needed to do this she slowly climbed up at the top of the ladder. She found a block and rolled it. There was a big boom! She threw a block at the ceiling. She got out.

At that moment, suddenly, Eleanora heard a big flash of lightening. Trembling, she his in a big box, whimpering. Eleanora heard a tiny little voice. “Hello is anybody there?” she asked quietly like a rabbit. The wind came through the window and blew the door wide open. There in the rusty, old doorway was a wrinkly old lady. Eleanora felt petrified like a blob monster being melted. Meanwhile, the old lady saw the puppy hiding in the corner. For the first time the lady smiled. “My puppy. Oh I’ve missed you all these years.” She hugged the puppy. They were together again.

Jake and the hideous nurseConfidently, Jake Abby elbowed into the shiny, pink door and followed his twin sister inside. They sat down on the icy, slippery bench. The old woman knitted a teddy called Jake Abby. On the wall there were paintings of Mr Brock although some looked more like Mrs. Hollamby the belly dancer.

Jake Abby weirdly felt that moment that he was going to faint. Fearfully he dribbled. He took a massive deep breath and then wished he hadn’t. On the floor was a carpet that said the best needle doctor ever, with a picture of her doing it. At that moment the door swung open and…

“Jake Abby! Get your butt right here, now!” she shouted. So he shivered up to her. On the floor was a cup with a picture of a needle. So she dragged him by the ear in the room. Jake Abby felt as scared as a frog in a bowl. The scary looking doctor put the wrong needle in his arm. His arm broke off and fell on the floor with blood all over the floor!

As soon as the lady doctor left, Doctor Brock felt that someone was in trouble. Doctor Brock was freaky, spooky and majestic. His ears were like a monkey. Heroically, as quick as a flash, the doctor rushed in and got all of the medicine to find the correct medicine. At that moment, Jake Abby felt dizzy. “Aaaaah!” he moaned like a baby. Suddenly the doctor threw dirty water at the Grandad’s face. “Thank you for saving me,” he said as he woke up.

At that moment, the lady Doctor took her wig off. It was Jake Abby’s uncle! Jake Abby shouted, “Uncle!” Jake Abby felt as shocked as a mad pig. “Why did you do that to me, you evil, mad person?” Jake Abbey’s uncle said, “Are you scared of the Doctors any more?”“Yes.”So they went home and never went to the doctors again.

DCRTConfidently, Steve App, who was very clever, skipped towards his Dodge Charger R/T, which was the high-end model. The charger was as green as an unripe banana. Steve sat in the car and it smelt of oil, so he put a Magic Tree on the mirror. The magic tree smelt like a slice of lime.

Normally Steve put on the HEMI V8 engine. The engine sounded like the god of thunder gargling with nails. He locked it and drove to Tesco. Unexpectedly the seat bounced up and the low-oil light came on. Suddenly Steve felt stressed, annoyed and sad.

Quickly Steven grabbed his small, slender Iphone 5 to look for to the nearest garage. But that was 20 miles away. He got to the highway, but had to pull to the hard shoulder. He checked the engine bay, it was as oily as a ship oil spill. H tried to phone services but he had no signal. He soon saw sunset so he turned Big Fat music on.

After an hour and a half his phone had signal. Steve phoned the services. They said to check the oil light pressure sensor Steve saw that this was fine but oily…“The oil pressure sensor is fine” replied Steve. So there was a real problem with the car. He heard a siren and saw some orange lights. The services had come, they cleaned the engine.

At the end they all had a giant hot dog. Steve decided to always check the engine.

Dixie gets trappedWhen the clock stuck 12 bravely Dixie ran down to the black, new shop, becauseshe heard a little, poor growl. The shop was cold as an ice burg. It was as cool as Dixie got 201 puppies. Slowly, the grass swayed.

Slowly, Dixie who was feeling very cold and scared, began to step on the fast escalator. She stamped her left foot on the escalator. The escalator was fast as a cheetah running. Suddenly Dixie heard people talking. Dixie thought it sounded like Dixie’s mum and Dad.

When she got halfway, her feet started to het her legs and got wobbly. She was as het as a puppy stuck in a cup. Muttering to herself, Dixie tried to crawled up to the shop and but I didn’t got caught in the escalator. After two minutes crouching down, Dixie got better and she could stand up now and got to the top of the New shop.

At that moment, Dixie thrust open the pink, giant and rusty door. Inside, to her amazement ,she saw a poor, helpless puppy, sniffling and crying. It was standing in a puddle sadly looking at its reflection. Dixie went into her pocket and got 3 dog biscuits and gave them to the puppy. When the puppy ate them the door swung closed.

The darkened lighthouse

When the clock struck twelve, recklessly Anthony sneaked down to the weird old lighthouse because he heard something weird. The waves were crashing, bashing and slashing against the lighthouse. Anthony felt as scared as a dog. Gazing up at the lighthouse it felt like a ladder to hell.

Slowly, Anthony, who was feeling very scared, began to climb the slippery, ladder. He clenched his fists and watched his knuckles whiten. The ladder was as slippery as seaweed. Suddenly, Anthony heard noises, as if someone was spying on him. When he got half way his feet froze like ice. Anthony got frost bite more painful than a 1 tonne weight. Muttering to himself, Anthony tried to break free.

When Anthony got to the door he looked up and saw the lighthouse was as dark as an enormous whale. At that moment, Anthony thrust open the giant, rusty door. It was as mouldy as rotten blue cheese, with maggots crawling across the scratchy wood. To Anthony’s eyes he saw a puppy limping in a puddle. As Anthony smashed open the door the puppy jumped in his hands. Mystically, the door slammed shut.

Screaming, Anthony pushed violently around the room to see if he could detect a door. Suddenly, he fell into a soft, rock door! He grabbed the dog and elbowed the soft rock door. When he went through, he detected a banister and climbed through the mouldy, old stairs. When he made it up, he found a lever under a mess of shattered glass. Suddenly he switched the lever up and the light switched on.

Suddenly, at that moment, Anthony heard loud thundering going up the stairs. Pouncing, Anthony jumped behind the black table. The little, brown and white dog was jumping nervously. Staying very nervous, Anthony heard a growl.

“Who’s been in my lighthouse?” Suddenly, the door swung open. The owner saw the puppy and smiled. Then Anthony became good friends with him.

The lighthouse of terrorSlowly, Mason walked down to the lighthouse. Mason decided to have a look in side mason started to climb the ladder. As mason got to the top, a big wave came and washed the ladder away. When Mason walked inside it was dark, spooky and abandoned in the lighthouse. The light house was mouldy as rotten blue cheese. When Mason was walking around he bumped into some kind of light switch. He clipped it on. To his amazement, he saw a lonely puppy sitting there in a puddle.

Caring, Mason picked up the dog. Just as he picked the dog up the door slam tightly shut.“Oh no what can I do now?” asked Mason. Suddenly the electricity flickered like splinters being pulled out of somebody’s hand. Mason felt the wall. He found a door.

He pushed open the door and walked up the mouldy old stairs at the top was a smashed light. He moved the dog around to signal S.O.S in the light to see if any one would notice the signal and come and help him.

Mason heard a loud bang coming from down stairs. He started to freak out. Suddenly he heard foot steps coming up the stairs he saw an old man with a big smile on his face.“You found my puppy!” said the old man.“Your puppy?” asked Mason shockingly.“Yes my puppy!” yelled the man.“Do you want him back?” “Oh yes,” explained the old man. “Do you want to see him on the weekend?”“Oh yes please,” said Mason happily.

Every weekend Mason went to see the German shepherd and had a wonderful time.
