The Shadow

It was day. I saw my pretty shadow; I loved it. 

 One day, I looked for my shadow. Another shadow appeared beside it.

 I turned around and saw

Nothing.

Christmas Eve

‘Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse. But in the silence, Stomps are heard, They stroll around, Without a word. You hide under covers, the steps coming nearer, but when it walks in your room, It couldn’t be clearer. It was the Christmas llama! He strolled to your bed. He gave you a bucket, That rested on his head. You looked in the bucket, It was filled with llama milk! You gave the llama a hug, The llamas fur was like silk. The llama walked to the window, and began to stare. “Goodbye human!” “And take care!” The llama flew off into the moon. Goodbye Christmas llama. We’ll see you soon. - Miss. A Year 8

The Hunter's Footsteps

Image
It was icy cold, and I was wearing no shoes.  Each footstep fading behind me, I had no idea where I was going or if I would get back.  The whistling of the wind entwined with the howl of wolves had always soothed me. As I hiked up the hill barefoot, alone and peaceful, I knew this was where I wanted to be, where I wanted to live. But today, today there were no wolf howls, and the whistle was more like a scream, and I knew he was coming. I knew I wasn’t safe….I kept going. That was the biggest mistake I ever made. I died that day because the wolves had followed me. He killed us all. Nobody ever cared…. My peaceful place, was my death place. Felicity Year 8
