Fishy Happenings
‘Ah, the perfect day for surfing, grey, cold, misty and a 99% chance of death!’ I say standing on a small patch of beach. I push my surfboard into the water and lie on it. I start paddling. I spot a sea otter ‘Hi ’says the sea otter. ‘WAIT WHAT!’
Grace
The Highland Cliffs
The jagged cliff stood half submerged in water. A figure stood on the top of the cliff as still as a statue; no, it couldn’t be him, could it?
The figure suddenly walks towards the edge and slips of the cliff and plummets, about to be engulfed in the water.
Ava
The Never Ending Office
I was on the rocky edge when I was pushed. Then I wake up in this place that looks like a run- down office. I walk around for hours and I see It. It starts chasing me and I trip and It consumes me. And that’s how I remember It…
Arran
The Cliff Edge
The howling wind beating against the run down building. The fierce waves hitting against the sea wall. The angry spray slapping against my face. The splashes of the fierce water blinding my vision. The wet slippery rocks put me off balance.
I slip.
Caleb
The Cliff
A cliff. The water underneath.
A man on top, the howling wind whooshing the water on to the rocks. The man was struggling to stand.
Down below, I was hanging off the rocks. I could hear the rocks trembling. I was terrified.
The man above swooped down and saved me.
Eloi
The strong rock
The rock makes the sea angry, the sea runs to the rock. But the rock is too strong, the sea just runs back. The sea tries again, the rock still doesn’t fall over. The sea tries several times, the rock just falls down a bit. The sea never comes again.
Sophia
Seaside Mystery
There is a strong breeze as I stand at the edge of a cliff. Wind rushing by while I stare at the abyss below. I feel a strange presence behind me. “I’ve found you at last” it whispers in a low raspy voice. Startled, I fall forwards. after a few seconds everything blacks out.
Meha
He saved me
I was going to the cliff edge. I was taking wonderful pictures; the waves were so nice. I love watching the waves, they are astonishing. He said he would be here but I could not see him. He always plays pranks on me. Then I slipped. He caught me.
Aris
Insert Title Here
Howling wind. The sea beating against the cliff with such force the ground seems to shake. The horizontal rain whipping violently against my face. Through the wind, a blood curdling scream. I stumble over to the edge. A body hurtling down to death; its scream washed out by the wind.
Esme
The unknown
Waves crash. The wind howls to tell me to go but I cannot. Why I stayed, I don’t know, but I did. The waves part. In the abyss I see something, something unholy. I want to run away. I stay. Was it him? Surely not he went missing years ago…
Yaya
The Beach
When it is school holiday, me and my Dad always went to the beach have fun and swim on the big sea. One times, we went to the beach and we are hungry so we went to have some snack and food, after snack, we went to swim and have fun.
Houston
The free diver
Do not worry I’m a trained professional. Today we’ve gone to this dark but beautiful view. My friend dares me to jump into the ocean. I agree because I’ve done much worse. I’m nervous but I keep saying to myself its fine it’s all ok.
And then suddenly I slip…
