haunted house

WALT to use 100 words to write a story

One night I was in my bed and someone in my dream SHOUTED “Go to your grandma’s grave  at that haunted house!” The next morning i packed my bag and hopped in my car and i was off. It was a misty morning. I saw something that was  crimson red, the gate was right in front of me. I frantically got out and opened the gate, then my car randomly drove in by itself and parked. It was so weird and a bit scary so I hopped back in my car i drove of as fast as i could. zooooom.

100 word challenge week 7

I was in my backyard and there was a giant tea cup it was as big as an airplane, it was ginormous. I still don't know where it came from. I wonder if it was a giants and they drank out of it . ewwwwwwwwwwwww gross. They would have black tea it might be to much for me or anyone else. Although I hate tea, my little sister loves tea and my nana and grandad too. But not me. I walked inside my house and yelled “THERE IS A BIG TEA CUP OUTSIDE” .My nana replied saying she made it, confused!

100 Word challenge

This week we were given a story starter

but what if I was in charge

My focus was making my story interesting and staying within the 100 word limit

The king had just died and the Queen too, so  I became the king and I was in charge of the world.But it was all a dream, but I imagined  what if I was in charge?  I would help the homeless and give them money and food and water. I would help the families in need and the people that are having problems I  would help the housing problem and parks and I would make the world a better place.   I  wished it would always be like this forever. It is the best the world has been for years.
