#39 Harriett - …I just had to see what was inside…

 As I was walking home from work, I got a text from my mum saying 'try to be as still as possible when walking home'. I was very creeped out by my mother so I texted back asking 'what's wrong' but I could not even finish what my text said. 'If you see a box do not open it'.

Then I saw a big dark box about 300 meters away and I knew I should obey my mum but I just had to see what was inside.

I grabbed my phone and rang my mum but I was too late.

    Hello Harriet,

    Your story reminded me of a Greek myth, Pandora's Box. Pandora was curious to find out what was in the box and opened it releasing bad things on the world. Your story well used the prompt and left me curious what was inside.

    I like mysteries and wondered if you in the story were a modern Pandora. Well done.

Now I’m thinking this was a bad idea because if I get caught I’ll be told off real bad. As I walk up the stairs I can’t believe what I see...

Gian Ramos Week #38

  There once lived 3 siblings. Gian the smart one is the youngest, Kenneth the cheeky one is the middle child and Nathaniel, the calm one; is the oldest. On a good summer afternoon they went out for a walk in the suburbs to go buy some sweets in the dairy shop. While they were walking they felt a movement of the ground shaking. They hurried back to their house, when they entered the door the decoration items all fell on the ground so they all hurried under the table.  Gian shouted, hold on Kenneth!  "I'm trying to hold on," he shouted.
