The Mirage

The Mirage 2006 may 1st at 5:00pm     As I walked up the bumpy hill to find a house glowing in the dark, it’s strange because there was not a house there yesterday. So I went and I could smell something disgusting, “pheeeeewwwweeeeee”, fart spray, as I went to hold my nose I could see something glittering at the corner of my eye, what ever was glittering was coming from the living room. As I walked into the living room I stepped on something mushy chewing gum. It was reddish with a hint of green. So my guess is that they never chewed it for long. The glittering thing was a jokers set.  The T.V. was still they were watching the snow show; I started to get worried about the people returning so I made a runner.       By Callum Chalmers at p7

House Stories

Read this mystery story!

It was the day after Halloween. The People who live in this house had disappeared and his dad came and knocked on the door and it opened. There was a football on the grass. A pit-bull got the football. Then they came back. Then they had a pet dog. Then the wind got strong and blows the dog away.  Then the footballs blow away to Scotland and Wales.

The forgotten game

  Can you work out what is happening in this mystery?

           One relaxing sunny morning a famous Scotland rugby player was at the beach getting a sun tan.  All his games slipped out of his mind. Scotland was losing twenty four to forty seven. The Scotland manager got really annoyed .The manager slipped his phone out of his pocket and called him. When his phone rang he got a big fright. He took his phone out of his pocket and answered it. He put his clothes on and then went to the airport.

He got on the plane to Portugal when he was meant to go to France. When he got to Portugal stadium he thought to himself ‘where are all the fans and noise’ he went up to a stranger and said “where am I” in Portugal. When he went back to the airport the plane wasn’t for another hour. When he got to France everyone was gone and Scotland was back home Chris Paterson his team mate was annoyed at him when he got home.

Mysterious

               Halloween 2007

I was just getting ready to go to bed it was 11.30 at night. I was in bed for about five minutes then suddenly I heard a great big bang!!! What was that? I walked down stairs to get to the front door. I walked down a deserted motorway only to find a police public call box - what is a blue box doing in the middle of a motorway?

I went to investigate the weird box thing. I was just about to open the door when a glow went through the doors it was a kind of bright light. I woke up in a prison cell I could see someone looking down at me/. He had lots of spots on his face he looked like he had skin disease. He walked away with a knife in his hand. I got to get out of here I thought but how? I tried to get off but he tied me up to a chair. So I had no choice but to run with the chair attached to me.

 I ran into a living room  - it smelt like vinegar and I saw a lump of red on the  plate CANNIBALS!!!! I thought. I went in the kitchen and I saw a raw lemon cake on the desktop yuck! I went into a bedroom with pictures on the wall of people eating human flesh. I was so freaked out I did a runner.   By Darren P7    finished

The little cottage

Who do you think lives in this cottage?

One dark, windy night on the 7th of April in a little village outside Stirling there was a really nice old cottage no one knew who lived there. But the council was getting pretty angry because the house was beautiful. But once the council got there they saw a note on the door it said, “Sorry I can’t be here right now - its because I’m at the gymnastic nationals and I wont be home until the 17th of April see you soon.”

The man from the council walked into the cottage and the first thing they saw were 14 gold trophies for gymnastics. The council man said (wow the person who wrote the note isn’t lying at all right lads there’s no point in taking this little cottage down because we know that someone lives here).

It finally came up to the 17th of April and the lady came back to her wonderful little cottage but once she got back she heard something in her cottage so she went in. Once she got into the cottage people came jumping out and shouted (SURPRISE) (thank you everyone) and the party went on all night.

Mystery house

 

 

I was walking down the street when I was on holiday in Beverly Hills.
A car stopped suddenly and two men came out of the car and grabbed me and asked me to sit on the back seat. The car drove into a large driveway nearby.
The two men got out and asked me to get out.  I did as I was told because they looked pretty tough.  I was taken to a huge kitchen. It had a massive American fridge.  The door was open. It was full of meat, fish, fruit and vegetables.  We then walked along a corridor. There were lots of photographs of famous sports people.  There was a massive cabinet full of trophies and belts made of gold and titanium.  We stopped at a door and one of the men knocked 3 times. We went inside.  To my surprise sitting on a chair was my favourite wrestleR.  I was very excited.  He told me that my mum had written a letter to him saying how much I loved him. He told my mum that as a treat I could go and visit him.  He showed me his garden. There was a garage with a wrestling ring

A WEIRD CHRISTMAS

Dear Diary 

I woke up one Monday morning and went out and shovelled all the snow from the neighbourhood paths. I did it all week, but the one on Gordon Street was hard. I walked up the steep path and shovelled the snow away. I broke into a million tears as my cold, crisp fingers stuck to the shovel, even though I was wearing gloves. I finally finished shovelling snow around the mansion. When I got home it was 11:30.
 

My mum said to me, “The cheque from them up at the mansion hasn’t come through yet. We need that money to pay for the bills and electric, and to get food and drink, or we won’t get through the winter.”
 

“I will go up to the mansion tomorrow and get the cheque from them,” I said.
 

The next morning I got to the mansion all ready to shovel snow again, but it was all gone. I walked up the steep hill and into the mansion. The first room I entered was the living room. There were five beautiful dogs lying there, sleeping.
 

I opened the door a bit further and saw a TV, DVD and video, and a big tall tree with a star on the top. I looked around and saw a high chair bouncer and baby toy. I slowly left the living room and went into the dining room.
 

There was a big long table with a table cloth and china plates, very shiny spoons, forks and knives, and Christmas candles in the centre of the table. Above the table was a chandelier. It was amazing.
 

I walked up a twisting staircase and into a bedroom. There were lots of trophies but I couldn’t see what they were for. And there was an awful whiffy smell. I looked round the side of the door and saw a dirty kit, all covered in mud. Yuk!
 

I went into another room and discovered it was the baby’s room. He was sleeping in his cot and there was more baby stuff everywhere. I walked into another room. It was the toilet, and the bath looked like a hot tub, and there was a shiny toilet seat and shiny taps. I looked out of the window and there was a hot tub and lots of grass and flowers. It was beautiful.
 

I came out of the toilet and went into the last room. The people were in here. I thought I will ask them for the cheque. I wiped the sweat off my head and went in. They were sleeping. I stepped on a squeaky toy and it made a loud squeak. The people woke up and gave out a little scream, but no too loud in case they woke up the baby.
