THE MIDNIGHT MONSTER
One cold, dark night in November, at midnight, teenagers, Kim, AG, Mattie, Anna, Jake and Amber
were walking home from the pub, laughing and joking.
Then suddenly they saw a humongous, ghostly shadow, slyly creeping across the buildings.
Amber screamed,
and Kim asked AG, "Did you see that?"
AG replied, "Yes I did."
Anna stuttered, "Was that a g-g-g-g-ghost?"
Mattie answered, "No, I think it was a m-m-m-monster", and with that, they all ran
back down the road, over the bridge and into a graveyard. They saw a huge, slimy, gruesome, green
monster slowly blobbing towards them. Amber screamed again and they all ran home.
The next night they
all went to the graveyard armed with Jake's little brother's plastic
swords, shields and axes. They stealthily made their way through the tall ghostly trees.
When they
encountered the monster they were ready. They quickly surrounded the monster, and fought to the
death, but to the death of whom?
Jake got swiped into a tree, and got such a blow to the head, it
cracked his skull and he died. Amber got picked up by one of his slimy, green hands, but she
bit her way free. Anna clambered
up a tree, jumped onto the monsters head and started hacking away at it. Although the sword was
plastic, it had a sharp edge to it. AG and Mattie hurled themselves at the monsters feet and
started doing anything they thought might hurt it. They carried on like this until very early in
the morning,
when the monster finally crumbled into dust and the wind blew it away. Then they made their way
to the local hospital where their wounds were treated.
The next morning some journalists came
to interview them. They took turns telling the press about their encounter with The Midnight
Monster.
