WALT: In room 4 we were allowed to publish a piece of writing that was flash fiction. Me and my friend we also able to publish it on paper and make it a book to put in our class library.
Chapter 1 The door
Piece by piece the street was disappearing. In the distance a door shined, sending golden beams of light out across the sky. Touching the clouds and turning them blush pink. The light reflected through windows and doors. All that was now left of the street was the door.
Audrey stepped scarcely through the door noticing two different worlds. In Atembrug were she grew up, it was all normal. Musky, foggy and damp. But in Get Away town it was all rainbows and unicorns? Something was up, well she didn't think so. Her dusty and mucky clothes were still on her. Her hair was up in a messy bun, still, nothing had changed.
She sees signs saying “GET AWAY town” in capital letters. She thought she was in paradise. Ice cold drinks, crystal clear waters, smooth music in her ears. Little did she know it was the complete opposite world. The signs meant GET AWAY from this town, the unicorns were real people trying to get her and she was trapped. None of this came to her mind.
She stayed there for a few days before noticing something was up. People following her even though nobody was living there. On the 8 day of being there, it all turned black. The stuffed animals, unicorns and even the water turned pitch black. She felt someone was behind her tying her arms up. She looked back but nobody was there. She saw something black go over her head, all that she saw was black thoughts run through her head. The world became strange it was no longer her get away.
Chapter 2 Black bag
As the bag went over her head, she fell into a deep sleep. When she awoke she saw things. People with inflatable masks shaped like teddy bears and puppies. Guns on a wooden 2-metre table beside them. She pretended to be asleep so she could, eavesdrop on the conversation. “Where’s the mind gun, give it to me now,” said a deep dark voice. “Erase her mind NOW’’. Shortly after getting part of her memories lost, a person commented “why don't we keep her. Play more tricks on her”.The leader listened.
They dropped her on an old musky alley filled with tall buildings and spray painted bins. A billboard with a family as the picture, holding strawberry ice cream. She paid very close attention to every little thing as if there was a sign. She followed a sign with the name “normal town”. As soon as she stepped foot in the town her clothes changed, pink. Audrey had Pink shoes, pink skirt, and even her gloves and makeup were pink. She camouflaged in the herds of pink people she had to find a way out of this world.
It was a perfect world. In a bad way. She looked at the people moving in sync pushing kids on the swing all in the same time even laughing in sync, what was this. She stayed on the street that night but when she woke up people were walking past doing the same thing over and over. It was not right. She tried to get out of there before she knew it crowds of pink and blue were trailing behind her. She ran. Faster than ever. It felt like a merry go round. Round and round to the next world.
Chapter 3 Perfect perfection
She had been running for several hours. Still, with a pink covered body, she continued to trudge along. The only sounds she could hear were her stilettos tapping along the ground. She tripped. Before she knew it, she had fallen down something dark and long. If felt like she had been there for years. Not knowing what to do. Or what's happening. What to say or to yell. She dropped on to the hard and dirty ground. Almost landing on thousands of pounds of concrete. It was pitch black. All that she could see were vines growing of large trees. As if it was a jungle.
She looked up to see how to get out, all she saw was a small hole of yellow light. The thick treetops covered the sky leaving that one patch of the yellow light. She looked down to where the yellow piercing light was leading, what she saw she couldn’t believe. A flower. A flower in this old ugly dead land. She walked towards it. She grabbed the roots out of the ground. Leaving dirt scattered all over the place. The ground sister shook. Still holding on to the flower she saw that it was growing rapidly. She held on with dear life. It brought her to the top of another world.
All that the sign would say was ’’welcome back ’’. Was she home. Back to get away town or in another world. She didn’t recognise this place, tho she recognises the person sitting next to her.
Chapter 4 Back in time
She was sitting next to her great grandfather. Seeing him load his gun and shoot, made her cry. She never met him. All she saw were photos of him and his wife. Or him at the war. Her dad kept the postcard that he sent him. Day after day. Months then to years, he collected every single one. But on the 5th of April 1917, he did not receive one.
She saw him get shot. She smelt the gunpowder. The trenches deep and so were the mud. “why me...why is it me”. She gets dizzy. Her mind going round like a rollercoaster she can't stop falling, swaying. She is gone. Sunk into the mud. She finally wakes up, where is she? a new world or back to the start…
To Be Continued…
