The street lights were dimmed, no-one was about and the wind was howling in the light of the moon. The bush rustled, my stomach churned at the thought of me being kidnapped, there was a little voice in my head saying I should have stayed home tonight.
How did I get here anyway? In the crisp light of a Saturday morning a poster had appeared in my hands as if by magic, I know what your thinking, this girls lying, but seriously it just floated into my palms. I read it aloud, slowly and cautiously "FRIDAY NIGHT FRIGHTS!" That didn't sound like me at all, I was a wimp but as soon as I was going to screw the paper up the local "cool girl" Amelia Robinson stood in front of me with a daring grin on her face. "Oh no" I thought. "So are you going?" Amelia baffled smartly, "yeah sure, I love horrors!" I lied enthusiastically "Great see you there" she replied sweetly. OMG Mya are you thick? Do you know what you just got yourself into?
Next thing I knew I was at the grand Friday night frights. I immediately took in my surroundings, a big black grim reaper greeted me, I already hated this. Amelia was surrounded by her giggling posse, my stomach shook. I was pushed inside with the crowd and before I knew it a malicious clown appeared onto the screen, I figured this guy was the main character. After about an hour, everyone clapped and I was now pushed along with people eager and ready to go visit a graveyard or something. I peered at my watch 3:29am, I was WAY past my curfew but didn't care as I wanted to get home with my guts in tact, as I felt terrible!
Now I was outside and s-hh-v-i-rr-ing my skin off! I heard a crash and saw a blurring shape flash across the streets. You'll never believe what happened but it flew right past me, "No" I whispered, the fluffy hair, the dotty nose and that powdery face - was it? No, I thought, it can't be.
If you think you know what the shape Mya saw was, leave me a comment below!
Hi Emily!
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is either a ware wolf, a Ghost, a abominable yeti, a shadow or just a dog.
Let me know if i got it right at school.

ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed Emilys writing. I think that we can discount a yeti, wolf or dog as they are physical animals or creatures and they would have knocked her down. So I think that the answer would have to be a ghost, but actually a shadow is a better answer I think that fits more with the writing because there it fits with the writing better.

Hi Emily,
ReplyDeleteI am one of the teachers that was in on the skype call this afternoon to California. Great job on your narrative writing! I loved all of the descriptive words you used and how you really brought your reader into the story.
My guess... A white spotted owl? I can't wait to find out what it is! Thanks for sharing this great story.
Sincerely,
