As an introduction to creative writing year 10 G were challenged to write a narrative in 50 words exactly, no more and no less. Many students were inspired to write the following entertaining stories!
Janine Poole
Misunderstanding
We tried for so long but we are finding it difficult. We just think it’s not manageable anymore. My wife and I have reached the difficult decision that we do not want children. If anybody does, please just send me your contact details and we can drop them off tomorrow.
Qayed Mohammed
It was cold, dark and raining when the power went out, I knew I was alone but felt that someone was with me. I couldn’t really figure out the feeling but knew I was overthinking. I heard a sound from behind me and felt the blade go through me!
Liah Mauri
The man was staring at me every time I went into the bathroom, it started to creep me out. It looked nothing like, I don’t know why he was following me. Everything I did he copied, it’s annoying, until I realised I was staring at myself, in another body!

The shooter
It was an immensely intense thing to spectate, he was spraying an ak-47 on a whole army of soldiers by himself. I was extremely intimidated that I would be his, next target so I decided to go up next to the screen and snatch that plug out of the game.
Robert Khualchawn
Exploitation
The profusely weighty, atmosphere only added emphasis to my isolation, like nature was keen to ensure my survival. Well at least something adored an ill-fated individual like me. Daily regret of my own existence emerged like the living dead. Why not let the raindrops replace the mourning if youngsters suffering burns from blazing coalmines.

From the bottom of my heart
I wake up one morning and do the usual get ready for work and head out at 7 am but today was different. There was a sweet sense of kindness and love in the air. I decided to take out my mother in law today. I love being a sniper.
Abdurrahman Mohamedrazeek
I walked past a huge dog, as I ran, I felt like my heart skipped a beat as the dog started to bark angrily. It started to run aggressively. At a good, face pace, I eventually stopped. BANG! The dog had hit the fence and collapsed. I finally escaped!
Christo
Obsession
It’s like nothing matters in the moment. It was like everything disappeared. I wanted this one thing, just that one thing to help with the void. Sometimes I feel like it completely takes over my body and I’m not myself anymore. I wonder if that one thing will save me.
Mata Taamo
A True and Genuine Football (Soccer) Fan
The fans really wanted to see a great game, but it was dull. One- Nil. His team striker dived in the box to claim an undeserved penalty. His Goalkeeper sneakily handled outside the box. A midfielder broke an opponent’s leg but the fan’s team won, so he went home happy.
