Kidnapped

No one in the town could deny that on nights like this one, with the moon at its fullest, pets and small farm animals went missing.

The night howled like a pack of wolves, trash cans spread across the rough roads. The moon shone down on the streets not leaving anything dark, it's face was so bright and sad.

I could sense something or someone was near. I closed my eyes as tight as I could thinking nothing but scared thoughts. I tried not to imagine who or what was coming.

Footsteps crunched down gravel roads so loudly I could now picture who this creature could be…

I could see in my mind a mysterious shadow with no body. I could feel the breath on the side of my face.

I was so afraid to turn and look at who or what this thing was. I heard a voice that said “you are coming with me”. I was grabbed and shoved into a sack to then be thrown into a dark room...

Watermelon days

Because my big brother Alexander and I haven't been getting along lately, we have been sent to our grandparents retirement village for a week as punishment, and right now I am missing out on the most fun I would ever have down at Raging Rapids, which is a the biggest water park in the world!. But now instead of having fun I am stuck here with my terribly annoying utterly disgusting boring big brother, ‘ugh’.
I thought being at my grandparents house was a punishment but really I don't mind as long as he has a big bowl of watermelon!.
