I stand here in the pouring rain, not getting soaked because the rain is pelting my favourite umbrella instead. I am setting off on a mighty adventure to gather nuts for winter, but it looks like winter is already here. I jump off the table and scramble up a nearby tree. Thats funny, I thought it was going to be a long adventure, but o well. I push the hard bark and it slides away leaving a gap in the tree trunk. Suddenly I see them, beautiful and golden under the rays of the blazing sun.
I scanned the tree once more and walked closer for a better look. Thick oily liquid dripped from the wilting leaves, making half of the tree the colour of santa's coat. Suddenly something else catches my eye, blazing red footprints lay a track across the courtyard. I follow them, curiosity flooding my thoughts. The mysterious tracks lead around the building and into a small dark alleyway. The footprints stop, I look around and in the corner a small tabby cat lays curled up on the rug that disappeared last week. Looking closer I can see three small kittens curled up to her...
I held my head high as I strode down the road, leading my magnificent dog behind me. whesst, a dart zoomed through the air stabbing into my dogs skull, he dropped to the ground with a mighty boom that shook the earth. I spirited towards him yelling " Benji, Benji " but just as I was about to reach him, his eyes started glowing red and he scrabbled back up on all fours. Then he turned his massive head to face me, I yelped and started running away from him. Boom crack, I heard him gaining on me, but just as I was about to give my hopes up, glug glug, i felt my feet sinking into a golden surface. " Quick sand " I screamed. All hopes were lost, I was doomed. " Help" I whispered to myself as my head sank below the surface.
He yawned and leaned against the wire, staring at the ground.
Waterfalls of salty droplets poured down her face, washing away the dust on her grandma's photograph. Her eyes lit up and they looked as if someone had sprinkled glitter on them. Lucy looked down to find streams of warm brown liquid pouring down the side of her glass and hitting her lap before gushing off the side of the chair and onto the glazed marble floor. I yawned as I fell back into a warm, cushiony surface and the lights shut their eyes. |
