Title: A harrowing escape

She looked up at a sky laden with angry clouds, and she hurried down the unknown path to escape her captors. Whoever the person or persons were, they definitely got more than they bargained for- a half-million dollar car all because she had stopped her car and stepped out to help an unconscious body, only to be tricked and knocked unconscious.

Molly had proceeded towards the main road for help only to stumble across another body on the track, face-down. As she turned him over, she found herself staring at a bloody, pale-faced corpse. The moonlight that shone on the pale face gave the dead body an eerie, blood-curdling appearance.

The next thing she knew, she was running aimlessly not long the track, but into the forest She was sweating profusely, her face pale as a ghost. She was desperate and did not know what to do. She looked around and felt as though a thousand pairs of eyes were scrutinising her. Every rustling of the trees, every hoot of the owl, every chirp of the cricket, every sound appalled her. While darting around frantically, she saw a light in the distance and dashed towards it. She ran, with an incredible stamina that one would possess in critical moments like these, as though the devil himself was after her!

As she approached the source of the flickering light so bright in the pitch black night, the shape of a house gradually came into view. She later recognised it as the Ranger’s station. She must have been running unceasing for hours. Finally, her pair of legs gave away to numbness and fatigue. She fell, and as she used her last ounce of strength and crawled towards the house, she wearily shouted for help. The next thing she knew, she saw the rangers bolting out of the house, and running towards her before she fainted. When Molly regained consciousness, she found herself in a hospital bed surrounded by her family.

She later learnt that the police had found her car and arrested two men who were suspected of stealing her car and had murdered the man at the main road. She heaved a sigh of relief that her nightmare was finally over.

Bake Sale Tale

Today is the day I'm going to the bake sale for school. I jumped out of bed and got dressed quicker then a jack rabbit. As I walked downstairs I could already smell fresh chocolate chip cookies that Mom has been making for the bake sale. "Good morning!" I yelled with excitement . "Good morning sweetie." she replied. I looked over her shoulder at the gooey , warm brownies. I wanted to grab one, mom interrupted"No, these are for later and there not quite done yet." So she put the brownies back into the oven and started to clean a little. Hours passed and the brownies where done or so I thought...

Mom grabbed her purse and the brownies and got into the car so I followed. Once we where at the bake sell you could smell so many various aroma's such as pumpkin pie, sweet apple cobbler, and much more. When we got to our table Mom put the brownies on the table, and people started to gather around. Mom quickly took off the lid, and then I saw the brownies amass. "Oh no!" I said in a quite tone. Mom looked at me and said "Sorry, I guess it's still not finished. It was warm and perfect before we left."

Then I quickly started to convey, I looked at everyone's sweets and they where perfect. Everyone enjoyed theres, why did this happen to me? This isn't fair! I went to the Principal which she was the one who started the bake sell. I said in a sad tone "Can you please end the bake sale?" she replied "Why?" I told her "Well my brownies are undercooked, and can't be eaten." For a few minutes I tried to mediate the principal, but it didn't work. Suddenly Mom ran up to me with a new box of brownies. I shouted "You got more brownies?" Mom replied "Yes, I did!" We went back to the table and placed the brownies down, and a bunch of people amass around our table buying a brownie. I quickly reverted from my depressed state to being filled with joy. I hovered over the brownies with hungry intent.

Remember you may give up, but anything can happen so just wait. Things happen for a pretty good reason.

Hope I helped!

Good Luck!
