'Damn.... Where are we?'

'I thought you were looking at your map?'

'I was...But I can't work out where we are'.

'I was supposed to be home hours ago Jake, my parents will be worried'

'Michelle, calm down...now let me see'.....

Jake and Michelle had decided to take the long way around after their date at the usual diner 'Kate's Burger Joint' where Jake had the king size burger with cheese and Michelle had the same thing as always nuggets with chips. They had only been dating for about six months, when Jake recommended he take Michelle through the woods to drop her home.

'Look it says Private Property up there. We are going to get in trouble Jake'.

'Don't be such a baby Michelle, lets go and have a look further down and see what there is'.

'But Jake, the sign, what if we get told off?'

'Michelle' he said as he grabbed her hand, they lumbered their way through the tall grass and passed the orange sign. The sign's wood was dirty and worn out. There was large pine trees obscuring the view ahead, they walked slowly towards them through to the wood beyond.

'What the hell is that?' Jake blurted out.

It was a spherical object, large in size around ten metres in width with the pine trees all around it, it was smooth silver, silky and shiny and resting on the ground.

'Isn't that.... a....UFO?' stammered Michelle.

'WOW.... Its amazing its so huge and look you can't even tell its here, it's hidden in the forest.'

'Jake we should get the blazes out of here, there could be military or something around here'.

'Calm down there isn't no one here, there's just that stupid sign, this thing is amazing I gotta take a picture of it,' he grabbed his mobile phone outta his pocket and took a photo of it with his camera. But then disappeared.

'Jake Jake' screamed Michelle where are you? Jake' she screamed. But there was no one to hear her, or
to see her disappear.

The shiny object then started to shimmer and gleam and then like a chameleon changed so there was nothing there at all just pine trees and grass and only animal traps left on the grass. Inside the two traps was a shoe, and the other trap has a mobile phone with the screen smashed gripped tightly. Other traps had a belt and cuddly toy, there were other empty traps like predator awaiting their next catch.

There was no sign of the UFO or Jake or Michelle, the sign outside remained there as a warning for others not to trespass this private property.

Dexter Pearson

  As a child, I loved to eat Mars bar eagley: having small bites and using both fingers to shove the little crumbs of chocolate in my profusely watering mouth. I grew fat because of this, ‘Little chubby Dexter’ I was called whilst growing up in Dagenham. I was always picked on and my mother used to try to calm me down by saying ‘Dear Dexter’. I would get bad grades in class, I am sure you can relate to the bullying readers, I sometimes would lose concentration in the class like a bull losing its horns from his head due to the name calling ‘fatty’, ‘chubby’ or ‘roly poly’. But I am Dexter I wanted to say Dexter Pearson, but I didn’t have the guts to stick up for myself at that time, nor today for that matter.    I did try to lose the weight, I joined the Essex group ‘little runners’ who ran through Barking Park as I was around eight at that time, but I looked like a ball bouncing up and down the park lanes and the children would laugh at me as I used to dru...

The Evil Step Mother’s Point of View - Cinderella

 ‘I hate you, you old bag’ she screamed as she threw the bowl across the room. I had made her favourite dish soup, which I had spent ages cooking in the kitchen. Her father had told me that it was going to be hard to be accepted as her new mother, but this was much harder than I had imaged. ‘Mum we have tried, I offered to give her my new dress’ said Gemma. ‘I said that I would take her to the ball with us’ said Louisa. ‘What can we do? She calls us UGLY sisters, it’s so cruel cried Pamela.    I hugged my three daughters closely, I wanted Cinderalla to accept us as we had with her. But she hated us, calling me a ‘wicked stepmother’ and slamming doors. She would cry and portray us as ogres. With the arrival of the Prince inviting us to go to the ball, I even tried to invite her but she was spoilt and rude. ‘I don’t want to go, you old bag, GET LOST’ she shouted. ‘I will get there myself’ she stormed off as usual to her room. ‘I miss my mum, you marrie...

Miranda

OUT NOW Dione the new virtual reality system. The huge billboard poster flickered with the only advert holographic projection . The streets were dark, but the advert illuminated like a candle making it the centre of attraction as though it was the essence of existence, but for the majority it had become. ‘Wow that looks amazing, I have to get it, it’s better than the Miranda system which came out last year’. Said my brother walking with me down the street, drawn to it like a mosquito to the light. He was addicted about getting a new headset every year. He was actually putting the Miranda system on as we spoke, going to the Prehistoric age, immersing himself in another world. Everyone was wearing one, but I didn’t.   This was my world, the future, a world of virtual reality. Headsets in every home, laying on the coffee table instead of books which were no longer existing. No one read anymore. They were a way of escaping the actual reality ...
