Story 2

There was two kids named Fegan and Fage, and they lived on the island of Bora-Bora were it almost never snows. Then came a mad scientist who created a magic snow globe that could control snow, rain, shine, and fog.

It was a hot day in Bora-Bora and everyone was at the pool. Suddenly there was a cold front and it started to snow everyone was baffled nobody knew what was occurring. Since there was no snow plows all stores, schools, and routes were closed. No one was able to get out, because even though the roads weren't that bad no one had four wheel drive. Fegan and Fage were able to get out. They stumbled upon a cottage where a weird smog appeared. They went inside and there was a mad scientist bubbling up a mess of snow.

Fegan tipped over the pot onto the floor and tripped the man. Fage brutally slapped the bandit and Fegan tied him to a chair and gave him a long sermon about how it was wrong to cover the world in snow. As reward for saving the world they got a dollar, to split. SOS!

The magical refrigerator

By Peter D.

Inside a magical refrigerator, all the foods are alive. There is a lookout and he is a Scottish biscuit. He watches and tries to find an assassin that is trying to break into the refrigerator. Inside the refrigerator, there is a disco band called “direct donut”. They do a concert at every disco club. Another hit band are the “dandy diva” veggies”.

It feels like a blizzard in the refrigerator. Most of the foods are adaptable to the climate. A great attraction in the fridge is swimming in the milk carton, or in the cola. Some parties in the fridge are good, but some are bad in some ways. At a couple of the parties, there was not the correct kind of confetti, so there was a lot of confusion. You never know what is going on in the chrome refrigerator.

Torture

By Shannon and Lucy

Once there was a super assassin. His name was Eric, and he lived in a vacant torture house. He had killed a lot of people. The FBI had put a bounty on his head and would give a bonus if they could come back with him and have no wounds.

A party of police officers set off to find Eric. They were to search all the houses. After all the houses had been searched, the police came across the torture house. They went inside and found a pink fluorescent couch. The police sat down for a rest and giant, hairy spiders started attacking. The police were bitten and suffocated because the spiders were very poisonous. They could hear Eric laughing at them through speakers through the wall. The reason being, that Eric was in a secret room talking though a microphone.

Now in total, there were ten police officers. Five of them had died from the spiders. They walked for an hour more in the corridor, and came across another sofa. The police were a little more cautious this time and walked to the sofa and stopped. That’s just what Erica wanted them to do.

“You fools!” laughed Eric, and the police officers dropped through the floor into a dark room. With effort, one of the police found a lighter in his pocket. He flipped it on and they all saw a vast desert. What they saw was a mirage. They didn’t know that and heard a rushing waterish sound. The police followed it and it turned out to be a pit of poisonous pythons. They confused the pythons for water. They all jumped in because it was blistering hot. Before the chief died, he called for back-up. After they died, Eric rushed out of the building. He ran straight into a barricade of officers.

“Where do you think you’re off to?”

With that, the officer shot Eric and there were no more victims of Eric the assassin. His final kill was of the fifteen police officers.

Attack of the Chinchillas

I was lying in the corner making observations on the room around me. To my left, a three category dance competition was going on. Ballet, in one place, Flamenco in another and musical creation at the opposite end of the room. To my right, there was a cage with three chinchillas.

Jasmine, Dazzle, and Bushy, the chinchillas that were on my right, escaped from their cage. They glowered at me as if I was their prey!

But then Dazzle who, like C.J., (a music girl) had a bit of an attitude, started ordering them about to get different torture devices to use on me.

“Let’s use confetti!” yelled Jasmine, who, like BB, (a dancer) liked anything to do with parties.

“Noo,” screamed Dazzle.

“The idiot,” Dazzle whispered to Bushy “can we attack her too?”

“Will you do it with confetti?” asked Jasmine.

“NO!” screamed Dazzle.

“Fine!” said Jasmine.

“Come on, let’s get back on track,” announced Bushy.

“Right,” replied Dazzle

They started in on me. I didn’t move, I didn’t run. What could I do? I am just an umbrella.
