100 word challenge

Walt: use 100 words to write a story.
At the playground me and my sister asked our Mum if we were allowed to have a play on the playground across the road. Since that was the only one we were allowed to go to because it was close to our house. But it was a little creepy because it had a graveyard next to it. I slid down the crimson slide and and climbed up the purple ladder. It was starting to get darker. Our Mum rang us for dinner but our phones were in our bags and we couldn't hear the phone ringing. We decided to go to our Nana's grave, it was misty. I thought it would be funny to prank Aliyah so I shouted “RUN” and Aliyah frantically ran around screaming and ran home. =

Gaint cup

My family and I decided to go to a forest far, far away. It was a little bit scary. At the forest as we were walking I saw a white, giant cup. In the cup is gold, shiny designs that look like leaves that fall off trees in Autumn. There was also a gold line on the inside with a little line beside it and on the handle was a little bit of gold. On the outside were two lines of gold. I was really confused when I saw the cup in the ground I wonder how it got there?

100 word challenge

This week we were given a story starter but what if I was in charge? My focus was on making my story interesting and staying within 100 word limit.

….If I was in charge….
 My Sister and I were on our way to KMart to get me some new clothing . We arrived and walked into the shop we walked over to the clothing section but there was no clothing. My sister said “lets go and get a chocolate bar instead.” So we went to get a chocolate bar and they were all out of chocolate bars. I was thinking of something else we needed I thought of hair ties but they were all out of hair ties. If I was in charge of KMart I would make sure there were lots of chocolate bars, lots of girls clothes and lots of hair ties.
