Livia's Narrative

One dark and stormy night, the wind howled outside and the rain pelted down.  A father was telling his 10 year old daughters Frankie, Harriet and Rose the story of the headless trainman.


“Once upon a time,” their father began, “There was a headless trainman, who roamed this very town, haunting all the people and searching, searching, for an unsuspecting victim. He died one dark and stormy night, much like this one. He was driving a passenger train while the rails were wet and the train slipped off the rails, plunging down the side of the very same cliff we live on now. While it was tumbling down,” he said, “His head got cut clean off by a shard of broken glass, and went falling down the side of the cliff, never to be seen again. Now legend has it, he still roams this place, searching for his lost head'.  
By now the three girls were shivering with fright, but wanted to find out if this was really true. So, when everybody was asleep, they quickly made a paper māche head with a smiling face and snuck out.


They soon came to the train tracks, and hid behind a nearby bush.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, there was a ghostly light. The girls saw this and ran away screaming stopping a few metres away. 
And there, before their very eyes was.......  John! He was holding a lantern.
“What are you girls doing” he laughed.
"Oh, uuummm... okay, we thought you were the headless train man" they replied, embarrassed.
"Okay, I'll be on my way then." 
And with that, he briskly walked away.


The girls ran back to their hiding place behind the bush and waited. Before long, out of nowhere,
A ghostly light appeared, and when they looked down at the ground, the feet were floating above the ground. The girls looked up, where the head should have been.... Nothingness.
The girls screamed for all they were worth, and ran and ran.


About half way to their house, Rose panted to Frankie,
"Where is the paper māche head?"
"I threw it on the tracks"


They carried on running and as soon as they saw the house, they ran faster.
Harriet ran so fast that she tripped over in a puddle, and fell flat on her face. The sisters helped Harriet up and asked if she was okay.
"Yeah, I'm okay, just a little bit sore"  she replied. 
Frankie and Rose were not so sure though, as Harriet had scratches all over her face, and her knee was bleeding, but they took her word for it.  


The girls carried on running home. By the time they reached their house,they were so sleepy that they could hardly walk, but they made it into bed.

The girls slept in, and in the morning, they had completely forgotten about the night before. 
Slowly, they creaked down the stairs to have breakfast. But what the girls saw on the table made them scream, because there on the table was......  A paper machē head,  and there on the head was... A frowning face.

Eben's Narrative

Marius
Loose stone was flying everywhere. "Take cover!" we hear someone shout, "into the safety vault!" Four of us sprint into the vault. "Woah!" We hear the others scream. Christof was panting heavily leaning against the mossy stone wall, his brother Fritz was doing the same thing right next to him. They had just lost the third of the triplets Johann. Vinzenz is going to the larder to grab some biscuits even though they taste horrible. I grab a drink from my rucksack that I always carry. I have food, water and room for gold. Luckily I've got lots of gold for the government. We take the emergency elevator out of the mine. When we get out of the mine we are lost for words.



Vinzenz
"OMG!" I say in shock, "I hope the government is okay"
As far as I can see there is rubble and dirt scattered everywhere. It wasn't just the other miners it was the whole country. Dead. The gold of my fellow miners and mine is no use anymore. 
"No more money, no more friends and family accept us" says Fritz dramatically. We stroll through the bare city and look around the place where the whole country got nuked. 
"You know what" Christof  whispered to me, I think the whole world got nuked. 
I gasp, and I whisper back,
"I think you're right."

Christof
This is such a gutting feeling to find the whole world has been nuked and you're the last four alive. "It's not good for anyone," my brother Fritz whispers in my ear. 
I wonder if there are others who survived the nuclear bomb? Before I have a chance to reply, Marius shouts out.
"Stop everyone, isn't it meant to be WWIII?"
"Yes it's WWIII, the nuclear bomb, duh!" Vinzenz tells Marius. 
"Hey there's some people who are coming to attack us!" I whisper to my friends. 
Luckily Fritz and I carry 2 guns.

Fritz
"Quickly" I shout, "the guns." 
We start firing at the Americans. 
"They're running into a NASA space station, after them!" Marius shouts. 
"They're in the rocket!"
"Omg, they got away"

Jorja's narrative


John leant against the bare stone wall. He looked toward the sunlight shining down from the top of the ladder in hope of the war ending. "When can we go out?" "Why don't we just peep out the hole at the top of the ladder?" Daisy asks. Dead silence outside, nothing to be heard but the wind blowing the sand into the skies.
"Wake up mum!" Blurts billy at the top of his voice. "Wake up" Margaret  props herself up on the pillow and looks around the underground vault.
"Do you think a nuke went off last night?" "I heard a loud booming noise, it seems like it has stopped the fighting" "it's been a year already since it started anyways"

John clambers up the ladder and stares at the amazing sight... "Come up! I think I know why it was so quiet outside, come and see!" Margaret and the kids rush up the steel ladder and stares in astonishment at the empty world around them, only to see dry dirt and crumbled remains of buildings in the distance.

They take their first step out since they hid in their underground hole at the start of the war. "What happened mummy?" Daisy says in a faint voice. "The end, I knew it was coming, I believe we are the only ones left"
"What?" Interrupts billy. "Should we look for people trapped inside the rubble?"
"I think it's worth looking" says John.

They walked slowly towards the rocky hole of a city and remained dazzled by their lifeless dump of a World. The city seems quiet, dead quiet. They go in a office building and search amongst the debris. Nothing to be seen but lifeless bodies scattered across the floor.

"What was that!?" Screamed Billy, as whistles of gunfire cut through the air.
"RUNNNNN!!!" "THEY'RE COMING!!!"
Margaret, first to run sprints hard to the closest building, a NASA Space station.
"Come quick!"
"They're not looking! Quickly!!!"
The family run while the men with guns are confused. "After them!!" The strange people yell.
They burst through the doors and to their surprise smoke flies everywhere as John, Margaret, and the kids are blasting off into space.

The Cake Store

James lived in a weird mysterious world.  His life was always about cake but one day his life changed.  It started one normal day when James brought the New York's best cake. James was so excited because it was his first time eating a whole cake himself.  Once he got home he carefully opened the box and looked inside it was beautiful the texture of the cake. James carefully sliced one big piece. He put the slice on to a plate and "num num num yummy" he said while eating the cake quietly without his mum hearing. He kept on eating and eating until his belly was full.  

He saved the best part of the cake the middle part it was with the most jelly in it he got the piece and put the slice on the plate and he chomped away but he felt something move inside his mouth so he spat the cake out and said what the heck is that when he got fork and carefully scraped the cake there was a live COCKROACH "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" he screamed leaving the room.  

He ran to the cake shop and screamed "WHAT ON EARTH WOULD A PERSON PUT A  ALIVE COCKROACH INSIDE A CAKE" the cake man said back "well this is a misunderstanding we never in the history of our cake shop had a live cockroach in our cakes.  "Well you do and I am never eating your cakes AGAIN" James shouted at the cake man. After that horrible day he didn’t felt like eating cakes and at lunch the same thing happened his body didn’t like cake anymore and at dinner too.

When his brother was eating a slice of raspberry cake he didn’t even wanted to look at the cake so on that day and forever he never ate a single piece or crumb of cake. His mum looked very happy that he stopped eating cake.  All what James ate was in the morning a piece of toast, at lunch a sandwich, at dinner pasta, his mum liked the way he ate normal food.  

One day he had a sandwich full of peanut butter and jelly he took a bite and he shouted “THIS IS THE BEST SANDWICH I HAVE EVER TASTED” and from on that day he always ate peanut butter jelly sandwiches and I mean FOREVER!
