Sailing

I cautiously stepped into the pink sail boat. I felt like I was pushing myself to the extreme. I thought to myself what if the boat tips over? Will the boat sink? Aaaaah! Another brightly coloured kayak bumped into us. It was like a bomb hit the water about 2 feet away. I thought this was the end, I felt like all of my limbs were out of their sockets. The water felt like blood dripping down from places galore. I smelt the salty sea water brushing up against my face. We got called in for the most delicious snack ever! Mince and Pasta, Mmmmmm. I tasted the food trickling down my throat. It felt like a slow snail slithering up my throat.

We got put into groups and sent off to our next activity. As I slid into the blazing red dingy we realised that our boat  was such a mess. One of the paddles were broken and there was nothing we could do about it. So one of the lovely adults offered to help us row. After a long and joy full ride it was time for a long break and a humungous lunch!

We jumped into our groups for the final time and went kayaking. My kayak was as red, and as bright as the sun, on a hot day. Stanley and Te Mana tried to tip me over by rocking the kayak like a rocking horse. I quickly paddled away trying to catch up to Chika. Who was already at the wharf and trying  to turn around. I heard the whistle blow. It was like a tigress roaring  because she had lost her cubs. We had to take the ten tone or what felt like ten tone kayaks up to get washed off. The water was like Antarctica on a cold day. Wait, it already is cold

Haunted Halloween I felt the cracking leaves exploding under my worried nerves, as I lay lifelessly gazing up into the twisted treetops. As I lay there, again I thought about what happened that horrid day. I was sitting at home, lazly watching a horror movie with my family. It was just about to finish when it said “don’t pick up the phone or 7 seconds will come and get you.” Just then the phone rang. Mum answered it, no one was there. It had already been 7 seconds and nothing had changed. That was when I started to wonder. That night I thought about what happened. As soon as I fell asleep I started to dream. My dream had just begun when something weird happened. I heard glass smashing and a door slamming. Suddenly everything went black and I started to slowly open my sleepless eyes. I yelled out to Mum and she yelled back saying that I need to go because my friends were here. We were going to a Halloween party at Macey’s and Tyler’s house. We were on our way when we bumped into Amber and Jarrod. They were going to the party too. We were walking past an old and ruggerd house when Macey felt a tugging, pulling her towards the horrific house. Suddenly, BOOM!!!! A puff of smoke beamed out, filling the air like a smoke machine on a stage. After the puffy smoke had cleared everyone was gone. I wonder what will happen next. Written by Sam
