It was an ordinary summer day and Jim was taking a stroll in the woods with his friends Kate and Tommy. They had been walking slowly for quite a while when Jim heard a rustling behind him. He had heard it a couple times before in the past hour but had taken no notice of it until now. A low snarl erupted from the bushes behind him and Jim spun around quickly to face the thing. It was a terrifying sight, a monster with three heads and black shaggy hair covering its body. Jim screamed for help, first to Kate and then to Tommy but they were nowhere to be found…
Wow. My favourite phrase was ‘a low snarl erupted from the bushes’ – I felt as if I was reading a passage from a real book! Well done Zavan.

Lucy rolled over onto her side and looked over at her calendar, then the truth hit her like a knife in her back… today she was starting her new job at the big banking chain,Barclays. She leapt out of bed and quickly threw on her clothes, the prospect of having her first day today begun to dawn on her and she felt a knot in her stomach and suddenly today did not feel right at all.Although the flowers were growing,the sun was shining and the sky was a pale baby blue today was going to be the worst..day..ever.

Challenge:
It was an ordinary day, too ordinary in fact. Jemina was staring at the floor on a Sunday morning, bored by the lack of excitment at her house. Lucia, her sister, was slowly copying a paragraph in her diary from her favorite book “Stars revenge”. Suddenly, the two girls heard a soft hissing sound and instantly jumped to their feet. Holding hands, they looked fearfully around, wondering what creature was lurking in their bedroom. Scarily, the floorboards opened and Lucia and Jemina fell in what seemed the depths of hell…
Wow! That has really sent tingles down my spine! Is it a paragraph from another one of your books you have been writing? 🙂
