Week 5 - the statue by Kynan

“Welcome to the show, today we are going to make that man over there sitting on the seat believe that we’re a statue”.

(30 minutes later) “We are in the studio just finishing up the makeup”.  As the “statue” sneaks over he quietly sits down next to the man while he is not looking. The “statue” starts sliding across the bench without the man looking. The man starts noticing something weird happening with the “statue” sitting next to him. The man studies the “statue” until he thinks “is it made of metal”. So he decides to touch it. He reaches out to touch it and then the “statue” suddenly…….

Week 5 - Dear Janice by Ruby

Dear Janice

So far I have been fine here, the house is nice as well as the neighbours. If I have to be honest my journey didn’t start as well as I planned. I met a man who wasn’t the nicest of people.

I met him two nights ago on the bench at the train station. He had walked up to me and sat on the bench. As he sat down I asked where he was going, but he rudely told me to leave him alone. So I did as I was told and continued to sit in silence.

It had been a while and I was beginning to wonder when the train was going to arrive. I asked him if he knew when the train was coming that's when he snapped. He turned and yelled at me telling me that I was rude and invasive. I shrank in my seat as he continued to yell at me. I whispered a quiet sorry and he punched me.

Week 5 - The Rodeo by Ryan B

It all happened quite suddenly.

The man had just sat down beside - what he thoughts was - a statue. He pulled out his book, and opened it up.

He didn’t get very far into it when he could’ve sworn he saw the ‘statue’ move. After looking it up and down suspiciously he started reading his book again.

‘Hey, did you see the Rodeo last night?’ the statue asked him.

The man jumped up, startled and slowly picked up his book he’d left lying on the bench.

‘No… I did not see the Rodeo’

‘Woah, have you living under a rock? Everyone saw the Rodeo last night.’

‘Really? I had no idea.’

The gentleman could be at the Museum. Sitting on a bench beside him is a statue. He looks up in a dictornery who he is. Who would have put this here he thought. A guy from the museum came up oh year I forgot to pick it up. And replace it from where it may have come from. Who said it was to be put outside . As soon as it was put back people started to come and see what was so amazing.Of the real life statue sitting in the lobby. Of grand central railway station cafe.

Week 5 -The Police Visit by Amber T

“I strolled down the path, towards a park bench. I thought it would be a great idea to get out of that stuffy office. I sat down on the park bench and read the book I brought. Suddenly, something touched my shoulder and I nearly fell off my seat! I thought I’d lost my mind because I saw a statue. “Hello sir, sorry for scaring you. What fine weather we’re having”, the statue spoke. Then I felt a horrendous pain in my chest and I fell to the ground. And that’s all I can remember.” “Thank you Mr Mitchell, you are free to leave now”, the policeman replied.

Week 5 - My complaint story by Amber N

I was walking down the street when I came across a old man sitting next to a statue. I went up to the old man and in a whisper voice said

“ Is that a real person.”

The old man just kept reading his book as if he was  ignoring me.So I decidnt to just start poking  and hitting the statue.It had been 2 hours since I started poking and hitting the statue, I was getting so tired but I was determined to find out if this was a statue or not. After about 5 hours the old man got up and just before he left he said

“You know that's a statue not a person.”

So I was really angry but that's okay cause now I know.Oh look another person that looks like a statue.

Week 5 - The Man that would not stop talking by Luke

It was a cold December evening. I was in a street in London that felt like it was colder than the North Pole.I sat down in the same old boring Bus Stop,I was FINALLY heading home for the long weekend!!When I sat down I noticed something strange AAAHH, NO!! My bus had been delayed because of road works.No I am going to be late for dinner!!! Next to me a man sat down with rather peculiar looking clothes.He was dressed in a gold jacket,a gold T-shirt, gold trousers, gold socks and 2 shiny gold shoes.His face was even dark caramel(which was close to gold.)I asked “Why are you dressed so weirdly?,you look like a gold statue..” he just grunted. Suddenly he started asking weird questions like where do you live?,Can I stay at your house?,Do you have family?, I am hungry, are you ? I stopped him and asked “ where do you come from and do you have any family?’’ He said “Yes I do have family and I am from Glasgow’’ I wondered ‘do all scottish people dress so weirdly’. He carried on talking but I did not hear him so I played along.And while he was talking his head of  my bus drove past me.Hay, WAAAAIT!! I ran after that bus until I slipped over a drain.

My friend Jim Aka Statue Man and I had some McDonalds and went to catch the bus that went to the rodeo.  As we sat down a guy called Richie sat down right beside us reading the All Blacks starting lineup for 2016.  He was really excited that eight Highlanders got into the team.  As I was a more of a cricket guy, I stood up and let Jim and Richie talk about the Wales and New Zealand test match coming up.  As the bus turned up Jim and I didn't notice the time and just jumped on the bus….. but we had jumped on the wrong bus!

Week 3 - Mother Nature by Sam Ctr

“Jim! Tim! Quick, get up!  Get under something! It's an earthquake.  Remember the drill!”

I was under the table for what felt like forever and I was terrified. I was yelling to my father who was trying to get my Mother and my little sister to safety.  Suddenly, the worst sight I could imagine.. a ceiling beam crashed down on them and it made my heart break.  My brother and I heard their spines crack.  At that moment my dog ran to me so I held on to him for dear life.

After the earthquake stopped a scary silence descended, then a few minutes later something sounding like thunder had came out of nowhere.  A Tsunami was heading straight for our little village!  We ran to the rooftop and stood there watching houses get torn to pieces. Everywhere you looked there were buildings being ripped to smithereens. The water was rising.

I spotted a building that was about 167 feet tall.  We had to get there!  Tim came up with the idea to take Father's boat. Since I was the better scuba diver I went down to Fathers little dingy that was floating about 50m away.  I was only wearing my orange pyjamas so it made it very hard to swim.  But I swam and I swam and just as I was about to give up, Mr Jones from next door dragged me out of the water into his boat. I was relieved to see my brother and my dog already in there.

I started to cry.

It was scorching hot at the beach we had played football, swam and now we were soaking up the sun with a sweet orange-flavoured ice cream.

There was a silence, the sky went black and a bolt of lightning struck accompanied by some thunder. We bolted for the van and went home as fast as we could, turned on the T.V and got into our pyjamas.

We had a great time not doing much and lying around the house but we couldn’t wait for the sun to come up.

Week 3 - The storm by Zoe

I scanned the room there was an erie feeling in the  atmosphere.  Outside a storm was raging all I could hear was the pitter patter of raindrops on my roof. Suddenly a roar of thunder echoed around the room. Everything was still, I sat in silence, finally I put on my jacket over my pyjamas and slid out of bed.  I crept along the hallway and into the kitchen.  I pulled out an orange mug and poured myself a hot milo, the marshmallows swam  around in the mug then slowly sunk to the bottom.  I sat on the couch until dawn, I could tell it was going to be a beautiful day.

I was sitting on the sofa in my orange pyjamas watching a movie.

My parents probably would not have agreed to this if I hadn’t of done what I did. I swam 3000m at swimming today and I am so tired. But I am so likely that the pool that I swim at is inside because it is bucketing down with rain and there is thunder and lightning. And it still is but all of a sudden it went all silent it was actually peaceful because all

 You could  hear is silence. But I have to go and eat my dinner now.

‘Sir, why are you in your Pyjamas?’ one boy asked.

‘Don’t question me.’ he replied ‘Now, you all know why - Preston, stop eating that Orange!’

‘Yes, Sir’ Preston nervously replied.

Suddenly the room was rocked by a blast of Thunder, then it started pouring down with rain.

‘Sir, someone is stuck outside!’ one of the children screamed.

Week 3 - Reality by Ruby

Silence fell over the room making me slightly uneasy. I had swam all the way across for this moment yet it felt so wrong and unnatural. He was holding the orange box staring down at it. His face almost completely covered by his black hair. There was a bright flash followed by thunder, the storm had already started. Am I too late? He looked up from the box his green eyes wide with fear. I knew then that we were too late.

I jolted up in my bed my pyjamas drenched in sweat. It was just a dream. But little did I know it was closer to reality then I thought.
